Dino Crisis creator believes the franchise won't return because of Monster Hunter

Given the current fever surrounding remakes, many are clamoring for a Dino Crisis comeback. Alas, Capcom doesn't seem to keen on the matter, and the franchise's creator thinks this won't be the case for a long time.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Shinji Mikami has expressed his surprise at the demand for a new Dino Crisis. According to him, there will be no new entry nor a remake because there's already Monster Hunter on the dinosaur game scene.

"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."
