Dino Crisiswas originally released in 1999 and many fans relished the opportunity to play through survival horror elements alongside dinosaurs. The game was released and developed by Capcom and was compared to theResident Evilfranchise because of its mechanics and genre tropes. Fans of the franchise have been increasingly vocal about their desire to see aremake ofDino Crisis, particularly since the successful remake ofResident Evil 2, and it seems a fan has taken matters into their own hands and updated the title on PC.
WhileDino Crisishas been dormant since 2003, many players have wondered why the franchise which borrowed horror elements, as well as features comparable to Jurassic Park, was stopped. It seems that the series was not as profitable as other Capcom titles, yetfan reaction to the announcement of aResident Evil 4suggests that there are plenty of players who would buy aDino Crisisremake. Twitter user Loboto 3 has now updated the original title significantly.

The update builds on the original Japanese version of the game and adds resolution “higher than 640×480” as well as supporting 4k. It also adds a new 3D rendering mode with a better transformation as well as numerous other technical improvements from the original. Perhaps the most notable difference will be the improved sound and the frame rate which will now run comfortably at 30/60 fps. Fortunately, fans won’t need to get too technical to run this title, which goes under the nameDino Crisis Classic Rebirth, the download page instructs players to “just copy your data from the install disk, add the DLL, executhe game and you are ready to go.” Players who have wanted to experienceDino Crisiswill be thrilled with this updated version of the title.

Despite these kinds of mods that pay homage, players have been eager to have a complete experience and this update offers the game in the best quality possible. Many players will be keen to download this version of the game and have a nostalgic play through with updates that make the game more accessible.
