In recent years, Capcom has put most of its efforts towards making new installments and supporting its biggest video game franchises such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Devil May Cry. Unfortunately, this has come at the expense of other Capcom franchises that used to be just as big, but that have been neglected over the years.
Here are eight dormant Capcom franchises that should come back in the next couple of years.
Dino Crisis
The premise of Dino Crisis is simple - Resident Evil but with dinosaurs.
The first Dino Crisis game, which was created by the same guy behind Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, was released back in 1999 for the PlayStation and got positive reviews from critics and sold millions of units. Naturally, this led to the creation of multiple mainline sequels in 2000 and 2003. The latter effectively killed any hopes for the franchise. Instead of focusing on the survival horror aspect that made the first two games so memorable, Dino Crisis 3 was an action-adventure game that pit players against dinosaurs but in space.
