Dino Crisis 1 & 2 are now available on GOG with 4K support, improved graphics and better DirectX game renderer

Now here is a pleasant surprise. Capcom and GOG have released DRM-free enhanced editions of the first two Dino Crisis games on PC. Yep, Dino Crisis is back and fully playable on modern-day PC systems.

The GOG versions come with compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11. They also have an improved DirectX game renderer. Not only that, but you can expect improved geometry calculation, alpha transparency, more stable transformation and texturing. Plus, there is native support for 4K resolutions.

GOG also claims that these versions do not have any issues with animations, video, and music playback, or with saving. Not only that both of these games come with all the original game modes. For instance, DC1 has Original, Arrange, and Operation Wipe Out modes. On the other hand, DC2 has Easy difficulty, Dino Colosseum and Dino Duel.

In theory, these re-releases should be compatible with the mods we’ve shared for them. So, you should be able to use this AI-enhanced Texture Pack for the first game. Then we have the Preview Version of the Rex-HD Project for Dino Crisis 2. You might also be able to use the Rebirth Remaster Mod for DC1 and DC2. Rebirth brings a ton of visual improvements to these games.

It will be interesting to see whether these re-releases will spark any further interest in the franchise. DC fans have been asking for a remake for a long time. So, will Capcom finally give dino lovers what they want?

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
