Original creator Shinji Mikami has given his thoughts on whether a Dino Crisis remake would work in the modern gaming landscape. In an interview with Eurogamer at Gamescom 2024, the veteran developer said he doesn’t “feel like there’s a whole lot of space” for a Dino Crisis reboot today and feels like this is due to the success of the Monster Hunter franchise.

Dino Crisis creator says there’s “no space” for the franchise today

Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil and Dino Crisis, recently commented in an interview with Eurogamer that, given the success of the Monster Hunter franchise, he does not believe there is enough space for a new entry in the latter. Mikami has been surprised by the fan acclaim and...

Dino Crisis Creator Shinji Mikami Does Not Believe There is Enough Room for the Series Due to the Success of Monster Hunter

As a kid, I grew intimately familiar with the bouncy theme song for Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I’m sure most everyone has a story about this game, and here’s mine: my family could not afford a babysitter, despite the fact that my parents worked from sunrise to well beyond the sunset. My older brother was often placed in charge of me growing up, but when he wasn’t available (because he had his own life) I’d accompany my folks to the laundry they operated. Throughout the 90s and early-to-mid aughts, their business frequently featured one or two arcade cabinets. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the one that I occupied most, and it became everything to me. To my knowledge, it was the first game I ever tried to master. I must’ve hopped on the sticks twenty times an afternoon whenever I found myself at that laundry, and in turn MvC2 has never quite left me. Everywhere I go, I hear that tune still, and every fighting game I play, I simply yearn for the good ol’ days.

It Turns Out That Marvel vs. Capcom Is Still The Best Fighting Game Series Ever

There’s probably few names in the fighting game community that ring more hallowed than Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The fighting game debuted in Japanese arcades but became a true classic when it released on platforms like the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2. For many it is the headliner of the all new Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection that contains all the arcade-releases that Capcom made with the Marvel license. I managed to get my ass kicked for about thirty minutes during a special hands-on preview at Gamescom. While I am still really bad at Arcade fighters, I am fairly certain that this collection will be everything fans are looking for and more.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the landmark horror A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). The film, which introduced the iconic villain Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), transformed the face of the genre, blending the then-typical slasher (only a relatively new breed at the time with the likes of Halloween and Friday the 13th) with disturbing supernatural elements only a creative genius like director Wes Craven could dream up.

Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger Finally Makes Long-Awaited Return

A brand-new version of Freddy Krueger has emerged from the dream world. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) is a bona fide classic. Though it enjoyed numerous follow-ups — five sequels, a spinoff, a crossover movie, a reboot of the 1984 film, and even a television series — none of those films hold a candle to Wes Craven’s landmark horror (except for 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, which is awesome).

As spotted by VGC, a well-renowned and reliable leaker, billbil-kun at Dealabs Magazine, is claiming insider information suggests the PS5 Pro is about to be announced. While a PS5 Pro is something of an inevitability, given Sony’s pattern with previous consoles, nothing official has been announced by the Japanese console giant. The PS5 Slim was revealed last October, and came out in November 2023, offering a trimmer version of the four-year-old console. Almost a year later would be about the right time to announce a pre-Christmas launch of a souped-up version of the machine.

Professional wrestling, in many ways, is a love story. Sometimes, it’s a love story about a 6'6" black otaku making good on a 9-year-old promise he made on a video game podcast to make professional wrestling into an anime.
