Dino Crisis: DC Retrospective 

This gonna be epic. Dino Crisis needs a remaster.

Bleeding also lets dinosaurs scent you and hunt you down, as I recall.

This dude could do a retrospective on taking a dump for an hour and I would still listen, he's that good.

Really really hope Capcom remakes Dino Crisis next like they did RE2. Day 1 buy for sure for me. Kind of burned out by zombies. There's a complete lack of good dino games lately.

LOVE this game. Sure it has its flaws but it was the perfect holdover for RE fans. Really hope Capcom revives it someday

I'm so glad you covered this game. One of my earliest memories was watching my dad play this. I went on to beat it numerous times and it's probably my favorite PS1 game. My dad passed away a few years ago and whenever I play this game I feel connected to him in a way.

Cutscene Regina rivals Cutscene RE3 Jill. *Fight me.*

The puzzles in this game are hard as hell

Dino Crisis: literally almost every enemy is a Licker (not really but you get the point)

The zombie crocodile from RE2 Remake reminded me of Dino Crisis so much, hope they'll do a remake

"That's disgusting !" xD

Another dope episode 👍🏾 Loved Dino Crisis - was the best in the series as well I think.

So glad you are finally doing the Dino Crisis series.

"I've been waiting for this moment, all my life......" *Phil Collins Drum Solo*

No stupid skits. No silly catchphrases. No bullshit straight up reviews which delivers exactly what it says on the tin. I love it you go super technical with the framemiester stuff even though it goes completely over my head. Amazing job dude. P.s I would donate to the patreon but money is super tight right now 😧

I had this on the Dreamcast and never really got into it (I was more into Code Veronica at the time) Just last year I set up the Dreamcast, popped this in and played it from beginning to end. Can't believe I never liked this at the time as it is my kind of game. Hope that Capcom gives this the RE2 treatment and remake this bad boy.

That moment when the T. Rex busts through the window... still my biggest video game jumpscare to date.

Imagine someone making a remake of Dino Crisis akin to Resident Evil 2: RE with updated photorealistic graphics! That would be awesome.

Fun Fact In 1st RE game there were supposed to be two side characters Gelzer and Dewey , but were scraped , however their character design were kept for Regina's companions Gail and Rick

Dino crisis was my first survivor horror. I got it for the dreamcast, had no idea what kind of game it was, just that it had dinossaurs, and man, what a surprise it was. I love this game, and i hope it gets a remake sometime. Thank you for the video, keep the good work. You're the only youtuber that is able to make me watch a video a soon as im notified of an upload

imagine this in the RE engine!! wow can't wait for the detailed textures and big scary Dinos in 4k!

The lack of some kind of special health gauge is one of the better choices they made. I wish REmake 2 had kept that concept for the Hardcore mode.

As someone who didn't play Resident Evil games until after I experienced Dino Crisis 1 and 2, I was lucky to not have my impressions tarnished by prior Capcom experiences at the time. The game to me stood out as an incredible experience, terrorizing in every way from the camera claustrophobically following Regina around, the lack of a health bar keeping you paranoid about any hit you take and the amazing music to the strength of the enemies and scarcity of resources. You're almost always at a disadvantage, and the game does a great job at never letting you forget. I loved the crafting system in the game and never found the menus too challenging to navigate. IIRC you can't sort your inventory on the fly, but you can sort your inventory when using plug boxes - something I probably spent far too much time doing. The puzzles also didn't detract from the game for me save for the fingerprint hunting. Cracking codes to open doors felt amazing. I've noticed a lot of people over the years giving the game flak for the resuscitation mechanic, but I'm pretty sure most of the critics aren't aware that you get a limited number of retries in the game outside of resuscitations. This might not matter much on low difficulty, but on high difficulty, the choice between upgrading your med kits to resuscitations or keeping them as useable healing items is an interesting one.

I always loved the setting of this game, the metal hallways, computer rooms, with dinos was marvelous. I really liked the option of using tranquilizers on dinos. But the best was that I think this game has more puzzles than re2 and re3.

Dino Crisis has always been underrated. Loved this!

This is definitely a series that takes me back! DC had a unique evolution condensed in a few games.

You can see they payed homage to RE in the main lobby look and feel 11:10. I was expected a blue art room to be on the other side of that door.

I actually preferred DC 1&2 over RE 1&2. I just thought it was super dope. That was my favorite era in gaming... because we also got Parasite Eve 1&2 as well, which are SUPER DOPE, as well. God, I’m old as shit. But I’m still gaming.

Your content is pure gaming gold. Great writing!

I remember renting this as a kid , the music! the jump scares got me so good!, I didn’t get far but I loved it and always remember the feeling of figuring something out and progressing whilst also being scared of what was to come, I haven’t felt that in a long time tbh

Those RE videos you made were so good, I will watch anything you put out, man.

Most underrated channel of all universe! Keep up the good work and these retrospectives!

Yes! Dinocrisis! I never played the original, but I absolutely adored the sequel. Can’t wait for your retrospective on it. Number 3 will be an interesting cover since I remember it being very different from the first two. If we’re lucky, perhaps one day Capcom will reboot the franchise. Or better yet, maybe even give us a new survival horror IP inspired by the classics.

I do hope they bring it back. It was a great franchise and since Capcom seems to be in a "fanservice" mood it might even be a posibility if people make enough noise

It’d be nice to see a DC collection rerelease on Switch. All we ever hear is remake this, remake that but these classics shouldn’t be thrown to the side when it comes to availability on modern consoles. Some of us still enjoy playing the tank controlled RE0-RECVX and the Dino Crisis games.

Thank you for these videos, bring back dino crisis with RE engine Capcom !!

what a way to wake up, thanks jared!

Never clicked so fast. Your videos have become a must watch.

Another great video man! can't wait to see more! :) I absolutely love Dino Crisis, as fun as the different spin on the survival horror formula, I got a lot of enjoyment just from looking at the environments. A lot of work went into the mechanical and environmental design, they really knew how to get the best from that hardware!

Great video man, really enjoyed it. Feeling like I need to try Dino Crisis someday! Hats off to Jared for having the most soothing voice in survival horror :P

Oh boy, sweet childhood memories. Capcom please make a Dinl Crisis remake and take my money!

Great video, Jared! I love Regina and is such shame the way this series was treated, by CAPCOM.

Dino Crisis scared the shit out of me when I was little (born in 1991)

Man Avalance I don't know what it is that you are doing but you have been on a roll for the past two years? Keep up the good work!

Great work love these reviews really takes me back. Can't wait for the next one.

Been following you religiously since your RE retrospective, and now you also cover DC, one of my favorite PSX-era games..?? All the more reason to love your channel.

I love how Avalanche guy looks like Kratos and sounds like the narrator from The Sandlot.

Yo man this is awesome. One of the most underrated ps1 and capcom series in my honest opinion. Your videos make me excited to play through these games again on my channel.

Thank you for doing this retrospective. I played _Dino Crisis_ for the first time last year and I got to say that it was one of the best survival horror games that I've ever played. Probably number two on my list of favorite horror games. Capcom needs to remake this game. With the interest in dinosaurs coming back again after the success of the _Jurassic World_ films, Capcom would be missing out on a golden opportunity to bring this gem back to life.

time for one of my favourite series of retrospectives, avalanche reviews retrospectives!

the puzzles in this game where hard as hell

Man, this game was wild. Excellent work, dude!

Love your content man, polished aesthetic with an honest passion for the games you cover. Kudos! Liked and subbed

I've really enjoyed your work so far but I must say I've been looking forward to this. I loved DC 1 & 2 and its great to see your thoughts on the first one. Thank you for taking the time to do this as I appreciate these videos must take a long time to make. Looking forward to your take on the second one!

Yes finally! Favorite game

This is one of my top favorite horror games of all times. I have no idea how many times I have finished it on my 1998 Playstation and on the PC.

These are great. Dino Crisis is one of my all time favourite games, I love seeing this in depth discussion

Dino Crisis is a game me and my father played through so much that he ended up remembering all the codes. I played through DC2 so much I caj probably speedrun it and get a decent time. DC3 is a good game story wise, but fuck the gameplay. Otherwise, I like it as well. I love this series so much

Another good well though and well written retrospective, keep it up

Awesome!!!! Thanks a ton for this retrospective, I love Dino Crisis!

Such a good game and good review! excited to see more vids!

great video... am already exited for the dino crisis 3 retrospective muhaha

Regina was my first ever videogame crush and still one of my favourite characters ever.I'd love a dc remake but if they cut out or changed regina at all I'd be beyond pissed.

Hey there Jared, glad to see a new retrospective just came out. Dino Crisis is another of those games I've played back when i was a child, really I saw it just as Resident Evil with dinosaurs, but subsequent hours of my time (and some speedrunning later on) made me realize how deep the mechanics evolved from the RE games (resurrection lets you continue right where you die, you can do tranquilizer or poison darts for one shot encounters, etc) although the puzzles never got any easier (the sequel did right in ditching all of those for actiony dino-killer action). Good stuff, I hope to see you this Friday evening mah dog xD

I can’t wait for you to get to DC3. Always wondered what the hell happened with that game.

I was surprised this game didnt end up on the mini classic playstation, great retrospective ive watched all the RE and SH ones snd i enjoyed this one too, thank you

Having played all 3 seeing this again makes me nostalgic. The first game IMO is still the best. I still to this day love that Dino roar as you press start and save room theme!

Can't wait for the Dino Crisis 2 video. That's one of my favorite, defining games of my childhood and I don't think it has ever gotten the love (or at least the exposure) it deserves on RU-vid.

For some reason, the room at 6:00 instantly made me think of the office in Resident Evil: Code Veronica where you have to use the key with the tag, except the door to the second room is on the opposite side.

I had no idea that Dino Crisis was survival horror. It looks amazing!

Now we are talking ...such fond memories of this. I remember laughing so much at the absurdity of this gem. The first game definitely has a “so bad it’s good” factor to it. Jurassic park meets resident evil meets any 90’s ridiculous syfy film. If you think about it too much it doesn’t make sense. But if you just enjoy it for was it is it’s a blast.

I absolutely agree with the point you made here regarding the self-contained nature of the game and its story and the merits of such an approach. In my mind, sequel hooks and setups that are 'too' sprawling for their own good always undermine the feeling of satisfaction a game can give you.

"that's disgusting" is the best line in DC

I first came across this game when I was 6 (a few months after the game came out in 2003), it was one of the few games that my father got with our ps1. It scared my soul. I never got any further than the intro and the first puzzle on my own. I had being talking with my father and cousin for days about the dinosaurs that will be poping up later in the game, my cousin even made up a level of Regina running away in the jungle outside the facility from a Trex that has thermal vision (it might have been a lie but it still sounds like a pretty cool idea for a late game level) one day my father took the controller and decided "we will solve this puzzle and find a dinosaur", we solved the puzzle,we went outside....the first raptor attacked, my father was awful with his aim and we didn't think of just running away and it killed us. My dad was laughing in disapointment while I froze in fear with the death cutscene.This scene kept hunting me for months during which I kept trying to reach that part (and progress further)but I was always just closing the ps1 because I was scared of dieing.At some point after a related nightmare I had I just snaped and broke the disc in two and throw it out the window(The disc was just a copy of a rented original disc so nothing of value was lost really and I couldn't understand the difference as kid between legit and copied or pirated discs) I decided to find and finish the game so I played an amulated version of it in 2015. Still pretty damn scary but at least I got to finish it and it was a blast, same with its sequel even if it was more action than horror, my disapointment by the third game was undescriable and I hope the first two get eventaully a ps4 remake cause they are gems.

Avalanche Reviews is a....... FLORIDA MAN!!!! Anyway, great video man!

I bought an OG xbox just to play dino crisis 3 I felt violated :S

Been looking forward to this one. Thanks avalanche!!

Liked before I watched, yupp. Cheers mr. Avalanche🍻

This is my first dino killing game I actually got to buy when I was a kid. I loved this game, the voice acting, the multiple paths for ending, the sound, the music, everything, hell even the CGI was awesome for it's time back then. I totally loved this game. I never played the other games for some reason nor did I ever decide to buy more dino crisis games. Again I agree with everything you said. I don't know why I never did buy any the zombie survival horror and yet my parents I think was the influence that I couldn't buy zombie survival but only killing dinos. I loved the camera angles and I do remember the movement speeds to show the health. The only thing I was irritated was that you could barely get any other characters to survive with them albeit only Gail, Rick and Kirk (sometimes Kirk depending on the endings). I also loved the music. THAT T REX ALWAYS SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. The shaking of the controller also hyped the fear factor which was awesome. Classic game and it holds very well in my heart.

I saw you upload this earlier and I wanted to watch, but I was too damn tired. Now that I'm fully awake however, I'm definitely looking forward to how you approach 2 and... to a lesser extent, 3. Hope you have fun on your way through this series!

I still absolutely love Dino Crisis 1 and 2. The moment I saw 3 was in space with jetpacks and...well, everything else it had, I knew I needed to steer clear.

Love it, truly awesome

....OH HELL YEAH!!!! This retrospective is gonna kick ass!

Dino Crisis is a blast, always a good time going back to it

It’s kind of interesting to me that things like fixed camera angles (and I realize this game was doing the blend, Code Veronica stylee, but) can end up becoming like earlier film production techniques or things that were originally done out of technical limitations of a time period, but end up adding feelings and artistic elements that become iconic on their own, and can be missed (though not by everyone, I realize) when they were gone. I’d happily play a new game with fixed camera angles, and even tank controls…actually, it’d be rather interesting to see both of those things alongside SOME modern power, like hyper-clean detailed backgrounds that are still pre-rendered, somehow…I dunno, I realize most people are simply happy with where game presentation is at now (I enjoy many too), so I’m in a very small club

I honestly think people are asking for this game to be remade like RE2: REmake more than RE3! XD

I can't wait for Capcom to remake this I even commented on their twitter post about reminding them on remaking this game. Also, I wanted to see Regina come back for Dylan and Paula...

Regina is such a sassy little shit and I love her so much for it.

Honestly, I always though DC was just RE but way, WAY harder, with less bullets. Dinosaurs made me panic a lot more than zombies just due to their ferocity.

I always liked how the T. Rex in this game and many other works that involve dinosaurs, Always seems to sound like a tractor trailer truck with really bad breaks 🤣🤣

The T-Rex encounter in the chief's office scared the living shit out of me as a kid, didn't finish the game until years later lol

Another great video man. Glad you're taking a break from RE and covering a series that is in no way similar at all, not even in the slightest. Nice to get a change of pace.

Part 2 is my favorite PS1 game. I still try to get my combo points up super high in this game. Great graphics, gameplay and story. It still holds up today.

I was really looking forward to this retrospective :D Dino Crisis is an old series close to my heart. Looking forward to Dino C 2's video (mercenaries mode: the game)

I threw my copy into the PS3 a few weeks ago after a 15 year hiatus.... I forgot how much more challenging it was compared to RE! Great memories though 👍

OMG. A few days ago I was wondering if you had published a Dino Crisis retrospective. 🥰

Man I loved the first fino crisis. Picked it up on a whim at EBgames one day when an associate recommended it since he sold me resident evil. I was so good. Never got ahold of the sequels though. But I yearn for this series to come back.

Dino Crisis 2 is still a big favourite of mine. Looking forward to this retrospective :D

I love this game so much, the story was convoluted as hell but gameplay provided so many thrills😂

the zombie genre is so overflowing with games. time for some dinosaur action love the DC games, even DC3
