Dino Crisis Trademark Renewed by Capcom
gamingbolt.com
Capcom has recently filed a fresh trademark for another one of its classic franchises Dino Crisis. Caught by Games Radar, Capcoms trademark for Dino Crisis has been renewed after having originally been filed all the way back in 1999.For context, the first Dino Crisis was released back in 1999 on the original PlayStation. Its gameplay was based on Resident Evil, with a similar control scheme and fixed camera angles. Owing to this, Dino Crisis also fell into the survival horror genre thanks to its effective use of dinosaurs to create tension and create jump scares.It is worth noting that, despite the renewal of this trademark, Capcom might not necessarily be working on bringing the Dino Crisis franchise back in a way similar to what we saw with Resident Evil.The first two games in the Dino Crisis franchise became available to purchase to play through GOG back in January. Both of the titles were released as part of GOGs Preservation Program, which hopes to preserve classic games by making them playable on modern systems.As part of these preservation efforts, Dino Crisis and its sequel on GOG got a host of quality-of-life improvements, including technical stability fixes and improved localisation, and even new features like the option to play with a more modern control scheme with current-generation controllers, including the DualSense and Xbox Series controllers.The story of the original Dino Crisis revolved around protagonist Regina, who is investigating a top-secret military project. Things start escalating at a slow and steady pace as Regina discovers more secrets of the project, which was originally meant to research a clean source of energy.The sequel followed things up with a series of escalations. Things kick off with the new energy source, Third Energy, being deemed to unpredictable by the powers that be. Players get embroiled in a rescue mission where, along with surviving personnel, they will also have to get their hands on research materials.Despite featuring a gameplay style similar to that of Resident Evil, the Dino Crisis franchise didnt really go beyond three mainline games, with each one departing further and further from the originals survival horror roots. While the Resident Evil franchise has seen something of a renaissance since the release of 2017s Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Capcom has so far chosen to let Dino Crisis remain in the past.Capcom is currently celebrating the immensely successful launch of its most recent game, Monster Hunter Wilds, which managed to sell 8 million copies within three days of its release. For more details about Monster Hunter Wilds (available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S), check out our review.The company is also working on several other projects, with two of them being follow-ups to classic franchises.One of these titles is a sequel to the seminal Okami, while the other is a follow-up to demon-slaying game Onimusha, dubbed Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The company is also getting ready for a remastered release of Onimusha 2: Samurais Destiny on May 23.
