what's wrong with his toe

>>2160759

It's a dinosaur. Dinosaurs have toes like that.

>>2160759
He slammed it in a door.

>>2160725

Fuck yeah Dino Crisis!

im not really sure how to expand upon OP's point. Kind of got that problem good things tend to have where all discussion ends up being

>this shit is good
>fuck yeah it is

>>2160762

How was the sequel? I bought it from the PSN store but completely forgot I did so. Any major changes between 1&2?

>>2160814
Shashes are shared so you don't have to remember everything you stuck in every room.

I love dino crisis but i must have tried about 5 times over the years to complete it and i always give up at some point,last time i gave up i came to this point where you have to move these massive pipes around in the correct order or something,i was actually thinking of starting it again today because i want to beat that motherfucker.

>>2160814

I would say dino crisis 2 is the better game,it moves away from the resident evil style and more action adventure.

>>2160814
1 and 2 are pretty different. One's survival horror the other's more action-oriented. Both are good.

>>2160814
2 is an action game. I don't think there was a single part that was even remotely scary, and I was a bitch about horror games back when I first played it. It's a lot of fun either way, though.

Two things scared the shit out of me back in the day. One was the way hunters appeared in RE1, the other was the T-Rex fight in the office.

Where did the dinosaurs come from like did they clone them or what

How well does this game emulate? I'm in a Resident Evil mood and after beating 1 - 3 I crave more.

>>2160905
Time portal.

>>2160917
...As well as other games? There are PC versions either way.

>>2160917
The game does have some anti copy protection on it which might cause a problem,but it can be patched.

>>2160725
the entire game is one long low-res ass-shot.

DC2 might just have the only water level I like.

>>2160948
>DC2 might just have the only water level I like.

Yeah because its actually fun. You're not just helpless underwater you get a sweet like maintenance suit that lets you fucking jump and you get some distinct weapons. The pace is slowed down just a touch but for the most part the controls remain the same (see: not shitty inverted Y axis shitty camera bullshit)

It makes it actually interesting and a different change of pace. Its really too bad every other underwater level is just a piece of shit with horrid controls. I don't know why games still have really bad underwater segments.

I wish we could have seen more of Edward City. The entire premise of 2 hypes it up so badly and not counting the tank section there are about four playable areas, with most of said areas being host to cutscenes only. Kinda disappointing not being able to explore a giant dinosaur infested city.

>>2160725
Better on PS or Dreamcast? I played through on the Sega a few months back and found it much more enjoyable than what i remember of the PS version

>>2160963
I'm surprised you say this, because in comparison to the rest of the game, the underwater level of DC2 does have crippled controls. No running, slow walking, slower shooting, and a long slow jump that leaves you vulnerable.

Actually I think the underwater level of DC2 is the only part of the game that looks somewhat like survival horror:
>it's based on the action of the game, but with crippled, slower controls
>your weapons are taken out in favour of much weaker ones; and the good weapon you can buy is very expensive (at least if you play on hard, which you should since that's the only way to really play DC2)
>big scary enemies
>feel of emptiness and loneliness, with only cadavers around
>you have to solve an "item puzzle" involving backtracking all the way back to the start

>>2162707
Dreamcast is arguably the best version. It looks even better than on PC while having the same bonuses + VMU support.

>>2160725
Resolution never.

>>2160867
That underwater section with the croc-dinos was pretty scary.

>>2163131
it's all implied by the things actually shown in the game

very economic storytelling but everything does turn ok

>>2163239
It's more the fact that we haven't gotten a true next gen DC installment with Regina that bothers me.

>>2160963

2 had a lot of moments that really changed things up so the game moved at a wonderful pace

its like there was always something cool happening

>>2163131
>tfw Dino Crisis 3 was some shitty space station game on Xbox that nobody played that had no link to the other games afaik.
>its ok because if they made Dino Crisis 3 now it would just be another Re4 clone but shittier.

My Dreamcast just arrived today, I'm dying to get off work and load this up.

>>2163291
>it's like 2000 all over again!

I love how Dino Crisis 1 wouldn't let you bull-shit your way through the enemies (like letting zombies huddle up so you can blow their heads off simultaneously). Each encounter would result in a hefty amount of ammunition dumped into it, forcing you to be pragmatic with alternatives.

Eventually you would get upgrades to your arsenal to make fights more doable but still risky. Loved how they actually balanced things out for the most part; it's too bad we won't get to see another game continue the story.

What makes it worse is that RE6 even teased you by making one of the final bosses a fucking T-Rex.

Face it guys,

DC1 and 2 were nothing more than design and technology testbeds for RE.

>DC1=RE + 3D BGs -> RE:CV
>DC2=mercenaries, proto-RE4

And the fact that they let DC die after just one bad (ok, terrible) entry and it being made by complete and total amateurs still makes my blood boil, after all these years.

>mfw Regina was treated as a one-night stand

>>2163756
that's a bit of a stretch
code veronica was by flagship
totally different teams
>proto re4
really? gun survivor was more of a proto re4

The weird thing is that DC would benefit a lot more from the action bias of the recent RE titles.

But TBH, I liked DC1 the most. The lab was a good setting and I prefered exploring and opening it slowly rather than tread a jungle corridor in DC2.

>>2163758
>that's a bit of a stretch

No stretch here, just two names: Mikami and Kobayashi, who directed and/or produced RE and DC games.

Everything they learned by experimenting with 3D in DC1 and action-oriented game-play (among other elements) in DC2 helped shape the directions taken in future RE titles.

I have nothing to contribute.

but here's Regina jumping rope with rabbit ears on

>>2163815
>I have nothing to contribute.
>sees dem titties and bunny ears

No, you did good man, you did good.

I just do what I can

>>2163815
I'd trade all the shitposters in the internet for posters like you anon.

>>2163815
>>2163829

I love how much PSM loved Dino Crisis. And Tenchu, but I digress

>>2163756
That's a really big stretch you're making.
For instance thanks to RE who made it ultra popular, it had became standard to use 3D models within 2D backgrounds, for many genres (pure action games, RPGs, etc) so it seems natural for DC2 to use that because at the time it was THE solution to make detailed background with the low hardware at the devs disposal.
As for the action, again it was a thing of the time like for Vampire Hunter D, Parasite Eve 2, etc Plus, a sequel of a survival horror turning to pure action was something that had already happened with Alone In The Dark 2, years earlier.

As for CV, by the next generation, 2D backgrounds were already a thing of the past, few games used them anymore (There is Onimusha 1 and 2...but that's all I can think of) and every survival horror in the PS2/Dreamcast era had 3D pre rendered backgrounds.
Plus it doesn't look to me that CV learnt from DC1. The camera angles are shit in CV compared to DC1, they do not take advantage of what more one can do with moving 3D angles while DC1 does and has some unique, tense and cinematic camera angles.
But then again CV is shit on every single aspect.

To me proto RE4 was RE: Dead Aim. Seriously, the engine looks similar and even the way the characters move looks the same.

>>2163770
Mikami being an "executive producer" on some RE games like CV doesn't mean shit. In most cases "executive producer" just mean they put his name in the credits as a form of respect because he directed the first game and created the franchise, he may have come to the studio once or twice and give his advice and thought that probably nobody even listened.
It's obvious Mikami doesn't really care about what others did to the story of the RE franchise. In REmake he barely acknowledge 0 even though he had to know about it because development of 0 started before REmake: Rebecca is still the same weak girl and there is no mention of the Alpha team actions except from an optional and missable document.
