Shinji Mikami comments that there is no space for a Dino Crisis remake because of Monster Hunter according to an interview by Eurogamer. Shinji Mikami is known for the creation of Resident Evil and Dino Crisis when he worked as a director and producer for Capcom. However, fans are confused from his statement suggesting that Dino Crisis and Monster Hunter are mutually exclusive.

Monster Hunter is not a survival horror game. At best, players capture monsters that resemble like dinosaurs. Dino Crisis is a survival horror game, where players investigate and try to survive in a setting that has been infested by dinosaurs.

Interestingly, both Dino Crisis and Resident Evil had familiar similarities such as the fixed cameras, pre-rendered scenes, and obviously as survival horror games. Dino Crisis felt like Resident Evil with dinos. Yet each title earned millions of respective sales, granted that Resident Evil had more sales. If having similarities was an issue, Dino Crisis shouldn't have existed back then.

If we're hearing this right: the statement doesn't make sense. A Dino Crisis remake could not exist because Gran Turismo exists. It would make more sense if he said there's no space for a Dino Crisis remake because of the Resident Evil remakes. But that would drive a point for a Dino Crisis remake as the recent RE2, RE3, and RE4 remakes raked millions of sales. Clearly there's a market for survival horror remakes from the Playstation 1 era.

There are a few things to note though. Shinji Mikami does not work for Capcom anymore. If we're talking about remaking Dino Crisis, it would be Dino Crisis 1 and 2. Not so much for any spin-offs. Dino Crisis is interesting enough that fans keep trying to rebuild their fan versions of the game. Perhaps Shinji Mikami making such a Dino Crisis remark started a conversation on the Internet which a potential impact for a remake. While I've been waiting for a Dino Crisis remake for a VERY long time.
