Speaking to Eurogamer at Gamescom with regards to the forthcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, Mikami discussed the topic of a new Dino Crisis game

"I'm very surprised to hear that," said Mikami in relation to fans wanting more Dino Crisis. "The awesomeness of dinosaurs and the stuff you can do with dinosaurs, that's been kind of really nailed down by Monster Hunter in recent years.

"So even if I were to decide to make a remake or a new version of Dino Crisis, I don't really feel like there's a whole lot of space for that kind of game right now, just since Monster Hunter has become such a big game. But yeah, it is surprising."

The sad thing is, decent remakes of just the first two games would be a job well done. I don't think anyone really cares about the other DC games. It's not like RE where there are at least 8 RE games that could be remade (0-6 + CV). Of which they've already remade 3 (4?) of them.

But how can Dead Rising exist then, when there's Resident Evil?
