All Jawmuncher jokes aside, I just think it's totally shitty that they gave up on Dino Crisis after one bad game from nearly twenty years ago and then never looked back. I echo the sentiment that giving it the RE2-R treatment would be great.
Eh, the series was on a downward trend--DC2 sold half as much as DC1 did. Nobody at Capcom seemed interested in the series (hell, the fact Dino Crisis 3 dropped the plot and actual dinosaurs completely and went to SPACE says they didn't quite have a highly protective or consistent attitude towards it even when it was a thing). Like... I think in a hypothetical world where Dino Crisis 3 was not made as it was... we'd be lamenting that Dino Crisis died with DC2 instead.
"We ran out of ideas so we're shooting them into space" is the bullshit you do when your slasher movie franchise has completely failed but you still eke out enough to justify making it, and think that the best way to generate sales is the cinematic equivalent of a shitpost. And I say that as someone who digs
Jason X. That Dino Crisis hit that wall by game three speaks volumes about how deeply, wholeheartedly Capcom stopped giving a fuck about the game (hell, the fact it was an Xbox game showed how little it cared, apparently Microsoft completely botched their initial meetings with Capcom and seriously burned a few bridges).
