GOG believes its modern PC ports of ‘Dino Crisis’ 1 and 2 are the ultimate editions of a classic — and could show Capcom just how much fans want a remake.
Frankly, this sells GOG’s efforts short. The CD Projekt-owned digital distribution service, which specializes in DRM-free games, has rebuilt the original game’s source code from the ground up, creating what is, effectively, the ultimate editions of the duo.
“If the publisher has the source code, great. Most likely, for a game this old, they won’t have a source code, and they didn’t have a source code here either, right? So we go into phase two: we try to find the game either on CDs, DVDs — whatever was available back then for that game.”With all its regional physical copies signed off by Capcom, GOG got to work.
“But here’s the thing. You boot up those games that are being emulated, and you can, maybe, get this nostalgia hit. But sometimes, the quality is no longer acceptable. The game requires a bit more work, a bit more tinkering, to get the original experience up to par with how you would like it to play.”
It’s a fair point — on a personal note, the PS Mini had disappointing emulation, and made my long-awaited return to, though Kwietniewski is a little more positive about the company’s intentions.
