[@PointReflex]

Just a few details about the PC version: The GOG distribution is just patched to run in modern hardware with just ONE true modification done to the game itself. Vanilla PC ran at an unstable framerate that would try to match 30 FPS but in reality it was like 25-ish for most of the time. GOG version either runs at a stable 30 or 60. The PS1 was obviously 30. Both PC and GOG versions run the cinematics at 15 FPS while the PS1 version ran at 24. Plus artifacts in the PC ports are obvious to the eye, not as brutal as the PC versions for Resident Evil 3 which had 15 FPS and 16-bit color depth, both half of what the PS1 had to begin with. The unlockable costumes were indeed unlocked from the start in the original PC port, GOG just carried out that design. The same happened with Resident Evil 3, the original PC port had the costumes unlocked too and the follow up port from Source Next in 2006 kept that design. The flickering of the 3D assets was indeed a problem with the PS1's Z-Buffer, something the original PC port inherited and since the GOG version is just a compatibility patch for modern hardware IT KEPT that bug despite the difference in hardware to which the PC port was aimed. The texture warping and model flickering in the game comes from the atrocious Sub Pixel Precision of the PS1 hardware, to explain it simply: the PS1 could calculate the position of the polygons and textures within a certain range around a pixel in the screen. With more Precision more exact data with less, well, less exact positioning. This meant that if a polygon's edge was designed to appear in "pixel 150" in the screen the PS1 will locate that edge in a circle 3 pixels AROUND "pixel 150" producing a flickering where the edge would "dance" around "pixel 150" instead of existing where it was designed. While the PS1 HAD a co-processor capable of more precise Sub Pixel calculation the console NEVER used this, and developers had to either endure the standard bugs in the calculation or do Sub Pixel Precision thru a software solution, for example Spyro uses a software "patch" for this problem meaning that the game barely had any polygon flickering or texture warping, while other games like Medal of Honor or Gran Turismo had a MASSIVE amount of warping and flickering. FOR SOME REASON the original ports from Dino Crisis and Resident Evil (trilogy) KEPT this shortcomings despite the fact that the hardware intended for them (PC) was MORE THAN CAPABLE to run the games in perfect condition. For anyone interested Gemini produced patches for Dino Crisis and the Source Next ports of Resident Evil (including the OG RE1 port from 97) which fix this problems alongside a LOT of shortcomings from the original ports like bad audio, obsolete controller drivers and unstable framerate. Well... such a wall of text but I hope this info is useful to whoever endured the reading.

The lady who voiced Regina and Sailor Venus is Stephanie Morgenstern. Both Canadian so I guess when they default to natural accent they start sounding similar.

[@wynnjones2435]

Actually I believe the reason why they switched back to pre-rendered backgrounds in the sequel to this game is because of its action game focus, in the first game there was only ever going to be like a few dinos on screen at once, but in the sequel you're fighting waves so they needed the extra processing power

An actual sponsor I can get behind, thanks GOG for preserving games! I like Steam but when it stopped working on my mother's computer because she still had Windows 8.1 made me question its longevity (I will install Win10 or 11 on her old PC but this shouldn't be required to play some old games that worked perfectly fine on old system!)

[@GarkKahn]

Yeah had w7 until some blue screen incident last year and changed to 10 because why not? But still excluding its last moments (the problem was an antivirus installed anyway) it worked perfectly fine for me during almost a decade, and if not for that i would still be using 7 without problems

[@KasumiRINA]

@@GarkKahn it helps that when I tried installing disc versions of first Fallout, original Baldur's Gate or Tomb Raider II, all of them worked out of the box on a new Win11 computer. Yes, fan patches like DDrawFix or DgVoodoo2 are helpful for newer graphics cards, but Windows by itself has amazing backwards compatibility. Unfortunately, being cut off from your games due to Steam update is still a thing. GOG installers work on everything and you don't need to swap 6 CDs to install BG. Is Original Saga still available? It's different engine to Enhanced Edition.

[@jakel2837]

There are challenges to making an internet connected service like steam work on unsupported operating systems after a while. Valve is pretty pro-consumer though, so they tend to keep old OS support as long as they can. Windows 8.1 is over a decade old now, it's a little much to expect them to continue support. Even more so when you consider how unpopular Windows 8 was

She has just as much personality as Jill did in the original Resident Evil.

[@DragonNexus]

Those ate more reactions, really. We never get a sense of what Regina's morals are, what she wants to do, what she believes in. She just reacts to situations she's ended up in.

[@tehtayziez]

The issue is, Jill was also incredibly plain-jane, she has very little that's memorable about her except her outfits and one or two goofy voice lines. People give Chris crap for being basic, which he mostly is alot of the time, but Jill really isn't much better, she just has some interesting visual elements that made her more memorable. Regina is just Jill if Jill was more sarcastic and had red hair, but since Jill is pretty bare minimum already, it's not a huge thing. This isn't to say I hate either of them, I like both of them alot and have done since RE1 released, but really all Jill and Regina do is react to things happening to them with little to no individuality.

[@andrewnicon]

I mean, its not exactly that big of a deal. They just run a game store.

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

I'd also watch them, read the comments and book the time under "market research".

[@wreckitraffe711]

@@andrewnicon I just think it’s neat is all.

[@trumpeter811]

really looking forward to seeing dino crisis 2 from you. it was a treat seeing you re-play this and your original review is what made me want to play this game even though i really am bad at horror XD

[@neilokeefe9647]

I think a current day remake of this game (a la RE2 & SH2 Remakes) could be pretty cool

[@tech9d]

Not 2 minutes unto the video, learned you had another channel and NOW I have to go find that review cuz that skit, was unironically funny. Good job! The DMC reference was spot on too. If you know, you know

[@JackTheFauceteer]

I owned the original PC release of Dino Crisis, can confirm back then the suits were unlocked by default (edit: the unlimited weapons were not, I confused them with easy mode weapons).

[@shabmaster7128]

Resident Evil 2 Platinum was similar. I think that's just how Capcom rolled on their PS1 PC ports that had unlockables. Probably trying to tempt PS1 players to buying the PC ports too as the in-game resolutions were much higher and had pretty low requirements.

[@GarkKahn]

Yeah find out after playing for a while back then, But i always suppossed those were already there

[@PaintsAreOp]

Metal Gear Solid VR-missions also had everything unlocked on pc. I wonder if its related?

[@tarnetskygge]

Good discussion of 2D pre-rendered backgrounds vs. 3D environments with or without fixed camera control. Resonant Arc podcast also did an episode on this subject the other day.

[@Deru0602]

@23:39 three of my most favorite things in one screen: The Playstation 1, Josh and a Badass Redhead Lady. Eating good today boyz

[@kellhound8645]

"In 1999 where we were all partying like Prince instructed us to"...😅😅😅 Great line to start a review video.

[@Ruyeman]

Maybe it's a regional issue, but Dino Crisis is only $10 on the PlayStation Store in the U.S., no subscription needed. The subscription service just gives you access to all PS Classic games. Edit: It appears the game started as an subscription exclusive along with Resident Evil: Directors Cut, but both are now standalone purchasable.

[@iisanulquiorrahara8]

Speaking as a US player, it didn't start out that way, and there was a lot of complaints for it being tied to subscription. They added the option to purchase it separately after awhile (and I got to have it free because I owned it on the PS3 already)

[@Ruyeman]

@@iisanulquiorrahara8 Thank you for clarifying.

[@iisanulquiorrahara8]

@ No problem

[@bensmith5288]

Console peasant. Be quiet

[@athormaximoff4634]

At 2:33 on the left side it shows the game is available for 8 pounds which roughly converts to $10, so I'm not sure where Josh got the idea that it was a playstation plus exclusive, maybe that's how it was originally announced?

[@blackchibisan8116]

8:19 RedScottGaming ruined Regina for me. She ain’t bland. She is a sociopath. And… yeah… it’s pretty amazing how it continues to line up. Her weird voice acting is practically intentional at that point.

[@KasumiRINA]

You describe Regina as having no character but a little bit later, complain that her dialogue is painfully 90s and unprofessional, which IS part of her character, she's whimsical I guess? I agree they didn't characterize her enough but they tried, she doesn't take things seriously as the guys do, and teases them.

[@heddenr21]

LOVE your videos man, Your voice is awesome for explanations, very satisfying, I've watch other worlds and many of your other videos many times. Thank you for the time you take to make these videos

[@jaydayee]

Loved this game when it released

[@alienfish8521]

Same.

[@hopethishelps91]

You out here doing the lord's work. Brining back my childhood. Great video as always my man

[@DustyGamma]

7:40 Someone made a convincing video, arguing that Regina shows all the signs of being a psychopath... Anyone remember a video like that, or am I just mad as a hatter? Was tempted to boot up my original disk to judge myself if she is, but never did. ...But now that it's on GoG, I'm tempted to do it in that.

[@kyucumbear]

She has moments where she looks at a mangled corpse and her only response to it amounts to "That's disgusting" in a very cheeky tone. So either she has been around death constantly and got a very blasé look on it all, or she is a psycho. Something does tell me however that it's the former though. Because almost every action she does looks like she does it in a very experienced "10 years in the job" kinda vibe, you know? The only time she freaks out a little is when she reports a "giant ass lizard" to Rick after the first encounter. And later even that seems to have mellowed out, "Yeah, I told you there was dinosaurs."

[@kasocool2812]

It was one of the large retrospective video i think Maybe redscotgaming or i finished a video game

[@xXSamir44Xx]

Considering she had a reaction to Gail's death psychopath doesn't make sense. She just strikes me as a professional. You'd go crazy doing a job like hers if your heart breaks everytime a stranger gets hurt.

[@Avalon_1991]

That demo disc it was on was great. The MGS Special Mission and Disney Tarzan games were also memorable for me. I remember Dino Crisis having a cool, creepy atmosphere.

[@JalekNordin-s9n]

This is why I love my gaming rig. Practically any game, any time, and no pay walls for them.

[@T____W____7777]

I haven’t played or even really seen this game in ages. I remember it being more actions and less puzzles so it’s interesting to know my memory was totally off. Also the painful voice acting is a little nostalgic. I didn’t realize Mark Meer was one of voice actors. I’m not sure if I want to try this or not, I feel like more modern games, like Dead Space, stomped out the balance and game better. However there’s definitely something to be said for the nostalgia, and I appreciate this review. An in depth overview like this is great.

[@Ryadic]

This game is full of environmental story telling. Regina is a generator repair woman. Plenty of character development for me. :D

[@radek4634]

hah, this is the first sponsored content in my life that ill watch with pleasure! thank you GOG & Josh. ^^

[@pitrex111]

The green screen skit videos were great, and we need more of them

[@mcfps8185]

The fact GOG send you a screen from Heros 3 with 150 hours played made me proud beeing polish XD. You just can't love them.

[@tehtayziez]

Dino Crisis 1 is a weird creature. Everyone tends to remember it as "Resident evil with Dinosaurs" but outside of the camera angles, it really does not play all that similar at all. It's also remembered somewhat fondly these days but it had a rough time back in the day for some good reasons, it's practically a puzzle game with a splash of dinosaurs. Dino Crisis 2 was generally a more enjoyable game, but I think both games would benefit alot from a good remake, DC1 especially as it's core elements aren't particularly well implemented, in particular the earliest parts of the game were commonly a huge stopping point where people would give up playing from getting stuck.

[@JaRule.90]

Part 1 was pure 💩

[@ezra329]

The best review Quote I can remember for Dino Crisis is that its resident evil but every enemy is the Re hunter Creature.

[@Peratohtori]

2:35 "And own it rather than rent it" as he shows an image that clearly states you can also just buy Dino Crisis 1 on PSN, with no premium required

[@mikek9491]

You might want to check the terms and conditions of PSN... you don't own anything you purchase on that service, you are buying a license to play which lasts only as long as Sony allows. Sony reserves the right to block access or even remove from your library any game you've purchased on PSN. They can ban your account for any reason, also removing your ability to play games. Steam is actually similar, which is why a California law forced them to disclose that consumers don't actually own anything purchased on the platform. The main difference is that while Valve may not be the most consumer friendly, they are miles better than Sony. GOG is unique in this case in that the DRM-free nature of the games they sell means you do "own" your purchased games in the sense that corporations can't take them away from you or prevent you from accessing them.

[@ClassyCrustatio]

​@mikek9491 that's not how DRM works... you still just own a liscenes... in fact even if you own physical media you are only purchasing a liscence to the medianon the disk. It's just harder to enforce... same goes for physical hardware. "Not for resale" is literally because of the product license... In order to purchase a game off gog you need an account, if they ban you guess what... thebexact same thing you said steam or Sony does happens to you... DRM protects mainly from pirating, its stands for Digital Rights Management and only apply to running the software. In your examples, if you are banned from psn or steam you can still run the software if already purchased. If steam bans you they are legally required allow you to download your software unless it is not longer available to download. DRM doesn't have anything to do with the purchasing or downloading of content, just the access of it once it is launched... which again is mainly used to authenticate legal versions of a software.

[@XvReaperXv]

Thanks for the video Josh!

[@Exoswyft]

20:55 is funny to me. i never played Dino Crisis but about 1 month ago i watched Maximilian Dood play it for the first time, because he also never played it (despite being a bid Resident Evil and Capcom fan). He came to the same conclusion and called it "Puzzle Crisis (featuring Dinosaurs)".

[@yemuz925]

Man I've waited for you doing this video. Thanks for that

[@SirLunchAL0t]

During the first minute of this I was going insane. I was checking if it was a re-upload or if I was going mad. I was afraid to run into a Berenstain situation here. Thank you for restoring my sanity.

[@anogragaming5640]

loving all these videos! also played dino crises ages ago!

Josh, your videos throw dopamine straight into my brain. The hours of work they have got me through.. unreal.

I watched the old Dino Crisis video and both are well done. I appreciate the eveolution of your style! Also, I'm not sure where to send suggestions but I'd love to see you play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines!
