Alright guys, we all know what we're in for here. #DinoCrisis 3 is world renowned for being absolutely terrible. No matter who you are, there's a 100% chance you've heard of the black sheep of the #Capcom family tree, but here's a plot twist.......I have never actually played it. Not only have I never been a fan of Xbox games, but the tales of its terribleness made it really easy to stay away from, but that ends now. Come watch as I experience this nonsense for the very first time. May god have mercy on my soul........

[@Nemesis_T-Type]

Its funny how similar Dino Crysis is to Parasite Eve First Game: Horror Masterpiece Second Game: More action oriented sequel Third game: Weird fanfiction that has nothing to do with anything

[@habadasheryjones]

A Dino Crisis Reboot with the RE Engine (assuming they go for a horror genre) has potential to be the scariest game with Dinos ever. Just imagining a raptor stalking me in a rundown jungle facility with RE2R fidelity makes the poop go. As a side note I'm dying for Capcom to pull a Rockstar and implement First Person, Third Person and Classic RE fixed camera modes into all survival horror releases here on out on the engine. The fixed cameras would take the most work for sure since Dino Crisis 3 proved fixed camera angles can be botched and there would need to be at least a couple control sets for fixed mode itself. Combined with NG+ and we'd be looking at alot of replay value for each game.

[@diegog1853]

I actually really liked this game as a child and i completed it several times, aswell as dino crisis 2. There is one singular element that made this game so addicting to me and its something that i think almost no youtuber has mentioned. This game plays esentially like a metroidvania, with different locked doors that need specific items to open, keys, a complex map and later some clever puzzles when you have to reshape the ship, changing the whole map to access certain rooms. This game really looks like it was heavily inspired by metroid prime, from the scifi setting, the lock-on fighting system, the platforming, save rooms etc etc. I've always been a fan of metroidvanias, even as a kid, and that generation had almost none, aside from metroid prime. I can't even think on an example for the xbox, so i think the game did a fine job in that regard, granted i haven't played the game in a while.

There actually is a bit of established Dino Crisis lore in the game - the colony ship is powered by Third Energy (the form of energy that played a role in the previous games events), which confirms that the games do take place in the same universe.

We'll just have to keep hoping for a reboot someday.

[@jjenk911]

Mr. Smith, thank you for covering the Dino Crisis Retrospective. Now you should live stream these games, starting with DC 3. In all seriousness, the game doesn't look too bad, and I agree with all the points you made in the video.

[@Pmike404]

Dino Crisis 3 was the reason I was so apprehensive about Dead Space 3. A friend of mine explained Dead Space as Zombies in Space and all I thought of was this. So glad I finally played Dead Space and Zombies in Space was a much better game than Dinos in Space.

[@andrewwoolford8073]

I'm glad you liked it my dude, even if only "sorta". I've always felt DC 3 was an okay game, just a bad Dino Crisis. Also there is one link to the original two, but it's so tenuous it's easy to miss. The ship is run on Third Energy from the original game. That's pretty much it.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I never even noticed a mention of 3rd energy. How did I miss that?!?!? Yeah that counts I guess.

[@AvalancheReviews]

Thank you! Glad to see you liked it

[@MD_Chaos]

Man am I glad to see an actual proper review of this game, because on this site there is barely any of that despite how infamous the game is. I think I more or less agree with that you said in that the game isn't nearly as awful as people say, but it's still not a good game. The premise of fighting mutant dinosaurs on a space station sounds like it could have been the coolest game, but the camera and level layout just flat out kill it from being as good as it could be. Which is weird, because the actual combat seems like it would be decent and it actually feels more like a spiritual successor to 2 with the whole combo thing going on. Definitely agreed on the visuals, cause even today Dino Crisis looks really good on the original xbox and I'm a big fan of the original dinosaur designs they had in the game. I never tried the game on easy, but in all honesty I think I'd like to re-try the game and give it another go on that.

[@AvalancheReviews]

It makes it so much more fun. Of course all the flaws you listed are still there, but at least you're not dying every other room. The lessened difficulty makes the combat much more fun too.

If you try it on easy, you might get into it. It's still bad, but definitely playable.

[@ectofrost]

It does look kind of fun. Seriously missed potential here. They should give another go with a game like this but separate it from Dino Crisis. It could be like Vanquish with dinosaurs. Great video though Jared.

I'm more mad at Capcom for so quickly ditching Dino Crisis after just one failure considering how many other bad games they've put out in other Capcom franchises.

I kinda feel the same about Resident Evil 2 (1.5). Don't get me wrong, I like the 1998 RE2 and love REmake 2. But I liked the look of 1.5 a bit better.

[@StaticBlueGuard]

Great video. Why are you so underrated?

[@xRocketzFighterx]

I remember enjoying this game when I was a teen. Didn't bother with easy mode, keep in mind this was 2003 when gamers in their teens tend to just buckle down and beat the game no matter how many times we get beaten or spam healing items. I recall getting angry at some of the more open combat areas since it's very easily to get blindsided by a random dinosaur mutant. Platforming was a bitch to do in that game especially with the fixed camera angels and it gets more annoying when the dinosaurs respawn when you just want to move on to the next area or you've just beaten a bunch of enemies and have to fight more again. In all honestly DC3 has it's charm, the visuals are lovely, animation and acting is pretty hilarious to experience, the mutant dinosaur look is really cool, I remember taking in some of the scenery of this game it's pretty good looking. But DC3 is a pain in the butt to playthrough from what I remember. DC2 I'm gonna say is a pretty good game and the slay queen of sass and ass kicking Regina is back but it's way too simple for me to enjoy, you just unload your weapons on dinosaurs like as if your playing RE Mercinaries mode but with a story. (Seriously why can't we have more Regina? she is so awesome.)

[@AvalancheReviews]

I can agree DC3 had a lot of character. That's what kept me playing. I think it had a lot of really good ideas, but the camera and difficulty really held it back. That being said, I still had fun with it. I just kept wishing all the good ideas could have been implanted into a better playing game.

It doesn't use tank controls. Instead of up being forward no matter what direction the character is facing, the controls depend on the camera angle and orientation.

Is this a DMC3 situation where the "Medium" difficulty was actually the "Hard" difficulty in Japan?

[@AvalancheReviews]

I looked it up, and no one has said that, but it sure as hell feels like it.

[@somaoni8806]

Did you know why this was? For two reasons (most likely). One, there was a lot of complaints about DMC 2 being “too easy”. So maybe the devs made the game much harder as a result. Two, games were purposely made harder for rentals in America. So a game that’d take a few hours to a day or so would take nearly a month considering the jump in difficulty. This could also be a potential reason. Or it could be neither and Japan just wanted to fuck with us, that also works.

[@MD_Chaos]

That'd be interesting to know if that was the case, because Capcom did that fairly often with other games like Devil Kings and Chaos Legion. Chaos Legion itself is a good game when you play it's Japanese version, however when it came to the west the difficulty and balancing were ratcheted up and ended up in a noticeably worse experience.

[@seakwenz]

[@dannysullivan12345]

great review!

[@tsartomato]

i always play on easy after i was like 18, learning from mistakes if a game isn't good on easy if it isn't good to its core if it's great on easy you can always go on hardest and this time play with skill, not with trial and eггoг

[@AvalancheReviews]

That's a good way of looking at things.

[@noway8259]

''a see me after class note'' got a few more chuckles out of me than it probably should have. Also maybe my memory is off I think the A.I was less interested in making dinosaurs but more interested in using the dna she had instead of giving up when humans stopped being genetically viable? Also some weird perfectionist adaptability making the perfect species thing?

[@studiorheye]

I wish there were interviews with the writers and developers talking about their original plans for DC 3 before they retooled it.

[@alsybroth]

Hey Jared , would you ever consider a retrospective series on either the Silent Hill or Legacy of Kain series? Either those would be fascinating to hear.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I will be working on the Silent Hill series very very soon.

[@alsybroth]

@@AvalancheReviews Awesome! Look forward to it!

[@adamc18]

I've never really understood all the hate this game gets lol. The first 2 games are obviously far superior, but this game is still fun as hell. The whole reason i bought the original xbox was to play this game and i wasn't disappointed

[@AvalancheReviews]

Yeah I really liked the combat and enjoyed buying items and upgrades. It was the camera and similar looking locations that drug it down, but not enough to be as bad as everyone says.

[@Steadysphere]

A very fair and balanced analysis, I've always been curious to try this but never found a copy when I owned an OG Xbox. The weird part of me wants to see this become compatible with Xbox One at some point lol.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I wish I had an Xbox One. That would have made for an awesome comparison!!

[@xCmDrunkX]

Never send a series to space. 💀 franchise.

[@AlhazredsGamingGoo]

Very much enjoyed this little series. I never got that personally invested into DC, but it's definitely been nice seeing it revisited by someone I follow, and would be nicer still to see it revisted by Capcom. Never did play this installment since I didn't have an OG Ecksbawks but it seems like one of those things where a little bit of charm goes a long way into making it worth the time, very much despite itself. Kinda like the post-2 Hellraiser movies where everything is stupid (cough Hellraiser 4 Pinhead in Space cough) or just plain bad or boring but you get one solid scene, even one solid line from Pinhead to make the whole thing worth it.

[@Hevybazist]

I know this is irrelevant to the review as a whole, but I really liked the whole concept of naming the dinosaurs after stars and giving them characteristics about the constellation where said stars are. The Deinonychus that goes invisible it's named Algol, Algol is in Perseus, and Perseus is the legendary greek character who beheaded Medusa using Hades' Helm of Darkness to hide from her stare. The gorilla-like Deinonychus is all beefed up because it's called Kornephoros, and Kornephoros is located in Hercules, you gotta live under a rock to not know who Hercules is. Those serpent-looking things are called Rigel, Rigel is in Orion, this one is more centered in the name of the star, Rigel is Arabic for ar-Rijl al-Jabbār "The Giant's Foot", it makes allusion to the fact that Rigel it's just an infant and it will turn into something bigger and more dangerous. The T-Rex is named Australis, could be a reference to Sigma Octantis, Polaris Australis, the South Star, barely visible to the naked eye, or to the Aurora Australis, due to the fact that generates and expelles visible electric currents from it's body. The Ankylosaurus goes for Regulus, Regulus is in Leo, and Leo represents the Nemean lion, a mythologycal lion who couldn't be injured by any weapon due to its magical golden fur. The Spinosaurus (boss fight not seen in this video) was named Miaplacidus, Miaplacidus is in Carina, and Carina is Latin for "Keel", Carina was part of a larger constellation, Argo Navis, that represented the ship in which Jason and the Argonauts sailed in the search of the Golden Fleece. And the final boss (footage not seen on the video), the Giganotosaurus, is named Cebalrai, Cebalrai is in Ophiuchus, Ophiucus is "Serpent-bearer" in Greek, I can't get a relation between name and physical appearance, could be because the heads' thing looks like snakes, I don't know.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I'm going to level with you, I thought I was pretty damn well researched on this game while I was writing this script, but I never came across that...........or I must have passed over it. Damn, that would have been cool as hell to talk about.

[@woobie87]

If you ever get the chance you should try the game obscure on Xbox and review it. It’s an old fixed camera angle survival game with teens in a school who are getting attacked by silent hill type monsters. You can switch characters mid game and if I remember correctly if a character dies they remain dead the rest of the game. I think it’s something different for you to play lmk what you think. As always great content once again :)

[@AvalancheReviews]

I played that game years ago and made a video on it. I plan on revisiting it here on the channel though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXmQd2OGm9GZfZo

[@woobie87]

Avalanche Reviews dude now Way figures you would already know. I’ll watch rn!

[@あらすとる]

I've pretty much discovered this channel today and I must say, I'm fairly impressed with the good work you made in this series. And yeah, I really see the similarities with Parasite Eve series here. I liked Parasite Eve 1's atmosphere and horror, I loved Parasite Eve 2's more action oriented gameplay, and T3B... I have such a like/hate relationship with it. I like its gameplay components although it has some notable flaws, and I totally hate what they did with the story. I find it even more funny that both T3B and DC3 have some difficulty issues, where you should start your first playthrough with Easy settings if you don't want to have a frustrating run. I'll be checking more of your vids, and I've subscribed already!

[@AvalancheReviews]

Glad to hear that! It's funny you mention the 3rd birthday's difficulty. I didn't notice how hard the game was until the very end of it, were it became damn near impossible for me. My pride wouldn't let me restart on easy mode, so I just brute forced it, and kept dying until I got through it.

[@electricskull2505]

man, i hope capcom bring this scaly boy back

[@CompressedEarthBlocks]

Just watched all of your Dino Crisis retrospectives and I really want the first one to get the RE2 remake treatment. The second one isn't bad but goes too action for me and the third one still makes me scratch my head.

[@terriblecertainity]

did you ever play Run Like Hell for Ps2/Xbox? interesting survival Horror

[@ReviewingWithAMask]

So When Is The Final Fantasy Retrospective Hahaha Test Your Might

[@AvalancheReviews]

I feel like I would be working on that retrospective, into my 70's. You trying to kill me???!!?!?!
