The creator of Dino Crisis explained why Capcom abandoned the series

Despite the continued interest of fans, Japanese publisher and developer Capcom is in no hurry to reawaken the Dino Crisis action-horror series. Why this happens, explained the creator of the franchise, Shinji Mikami.

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Mikami opined that there is no place for Dino Crisis in a world where Monster Hunter, Capcom’s other dinosaur-related franchise, is thriving.

«I’m very surprised to hear [about fans’ desire to see new Dino Crisis]. “Monster Hunter has been successfully revealing all the beauty of dinosaurs and related activities in recent years,” says Mikami.

The popularity of Monster Hunter, according to Mikami, undermines the chances of Dino Crisis for a sequel: “If I decided to do a remake of Dino Crisis or a new part, I don’t think there would be a place for them in the market, given how Monster Hunter has grown.”

Earlier this year, Dino Crisis won Capcom’s vote for the franchise its fans most want to see continue. Therefore, many players did not like Mikami’s statement.

ResetEra users criticized Mikami, pointing out the difference between Dino Crisis and Monster Hunter, as well as the illogicality of the developer’s statement: it turns out that Dead Rising is also not needed with Resident Evil thriving (both franchises have zombies).

Mikami directed the production of Dino Crisis (1999) and produced the next two (2000, 2003), but has not worked for Capcom for a long time. Last winter, he left Tango Gameworks, which he founded in 2010, and founded Kamuy Studio.
