Dino Crisis 4 (or just a new one)

While I wouldn’t say no to a new Dino Crisis (which we’re unlikely to get), the truth is that I never played the originals. It was a different time, one where I was more restricted in the games I could acquire—and as cool as Dino Crisis looked, I was not going to choose that over the original PlayStation Final Fantasy games, or Metal Gear Solid, or even Crash Bandicoot. Sorry.

Okay, so Dall-E! What do we have here? Shock! Dinosaurs! But what’s interesting is that with the exception of one of these possible images, Dall-E seems to think a new Dino Crisis would be in first person! And, you know, that’s not a bad idea.

We all fell in love with that initial No Man’s Sky trailer with the alien brachiosaurus. A lot of people are into Ark (though apparently it inspired a friend of mine to contemplate throwing his PC out a window). And dinosaurs are just fucking cool. I think we all want to experience that moment in the original Jurassic Park when Dr. Ellie Sattler first sees the brachiosaurus and is just overwhelmed with a deep, visceral emotion. Dinos elicit an undeniable mix of awe and terror and, frankly, it’s something that often gets overlooked in favor of raucous thrills of the kind we see in the trailer for Exoprimal or the more recent Jurassic World movies.

Turn on some RTX, throw us into a deep, first-person experience in which the towering dinosaurs fill us with the wonder and fear of out-of-time biology, and I’m down to get eaten. There, I said it.
