Capcom Survey: More Dead Rising, Dino Crisis

Capcom has ignited excitement among fans with a new survey inquiring about their interest in sequels or remakes of beloved classic franchises, such as Dead Rising and Dino Crisis. In a nod to nostalgia, the survey lists a plethora of Capcom IPs and prompts fans to select which titles they desire to be revisited. This follows the success of the company's recent remakes, particularly the Resident Evil series. While these surveys serve primarily to gather consumer insights, they hold the potential to influence Capcom's development decisions if a significant number of fans express a strong preference for certain games. The mention of less mainstream games like Commando suggests the possibility of more niche remake projects as well. Although Capcom’s history of acting on survey results is mixed, there's a glimmer of hope for fans to see a revival of these cherished IPs.

Which classic Capcom game would benefit most from a remake?

In light of Capcom's recent track record with successful remakes, a game like Dino Crisis could greatly benefit from a modern overhaul, applying contemporary graphics and gameplay mechanics while preserving the original's suspenseful atmosphere.

Dead Rising and Dino Crisis are significant titles in Capcom's history. Dead Rising, released in 2006, gained a cult following for its innovative blend of zombie-killing action and sandbox gameplay. Dino Crisis, often considered a "dinosaur version of Resident Evil", provided a unique survival horror experience when it debuted in 1999. The potential return or remake of these IPs could tap into both the nostalgic aspects of long-time fans and the modern appeal to attract new ones, making it an excellent business strategy for Capcom to explore.
