Dino Crisis 1 and 2 have ed the Good Old Games (GOG) Video Game Preservation project, and fans can now vote on what games they want to see on the platform next thanks to the new Dreamlist feature. GOG is a video game storefront with a strong emphasis on older and classic games. Part of the platform's mission is to preserve older game titles for current and future generation platforms and, after some time spent convincing Capcom that they're the right people for the job, the two Dino Crisis titles have ed the list of games preserved by GOG for posterity.

Dino Crisis is a 1999 survival horror game originally developed for the PlayStation, and both Dino Crisis and its sequel are now available on PC for the first time ever. GOG revealed more details in a blog on its website, sharing the history of the titles and the amount of work that went into porting the two Dino Crisis titles to PC. In addition to making the two beloved classic titles available to purchase on the website (both individually and as a bundle), GOG has launched the Dreamlist feature, which puts the ball in fans' court and allows popular vote to sway decision-making.

Dino Crisis 1 And 2 Receive Modern Computer

The Game Preservation Program Will Ensure It Continues Working On Future Systems, Too

As part of the Game Preservation project, Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are fully playable and optimized for Windows 10 and 11, along with a guarantee that the games will also work on future systems. The idea, according to the reveal blog, is to make a game "that is as close as possible to the original one, but also ensuring that it will work on any modern computer that you have." Besides making the games playable, GOG also worked hard to fix some issues and playtest every version of the game, including every one of the six language builds.

The visuals were upscaled to "almost 4K" for a "crisp and nice image," the appearance of some textures was improved, and DirectX gives players more control over how they play the games, such as window mode, vertical sync, anti-aliasing, and gamma correction. The games also have controller as well as hotplug . Although the base games weren't touched (the goal being the preserve, not improve), the GOG team did fix some issues like filling in missing Spanish subtitles. The whole project was a long time in the making but "now Dino Crisis returns, ready to roar again."

New GOG Dreamlist Feature Lets Fans Have A Say In What Game Gets Preserved Next

The New Feature Upgrades Old Community Wishlist

Now that one of the most highly requested franchises is available on GOG, the platform has asked fans for their input on which other games should receive the same treatment. The Dreamlist is replacing the old Community Wishlist, which is currently in the process of being completely phased out. The new feature will work much the same as the old one and will also preserve the community wishlist's vote counts and comments, allowing players to browse for and vote on games they'd like to preserve for modern and future PCs.

The Dreamlist brings a clean new design that makes it easy to find games and cast your vote. Each game has its own dedicated page where players can share their experiences with the title and why they want to see it revived and preserved. A trailer for the new feature on the GOG YouTube channel emphasizes the community's role in bringing titles like Dino Crisis 1 and 2 to the GOG platform.
