Fluid also intended to have different game modes for this and it was said that they would have bonus missions if you had completed the game. Kirk and take him back to her government agency. The story had a very brief background written about it, there was to be an undercover agent (Regina who had infiltrated the compound and was trying to capture Dr. Fluid were worried about the restrictive nature of the GBC especially in regards to the sprite size and how they would recreate the dinosaurs. This is quite a bold statement as the original was on the PlayStation 1 which is a more powerful system. In this document it is revealed that what Fluid actually wanted to produce was a scaled down version of the original Dino Crisis, they wanted to keep all the original maps, plot-lines, dinosaurs and the look and feel of the original.

Update: While this article was being uploaded to the site I have been looking through documents that were released (you can find the design doc online) regarding the game that was in development by Fluid Studios. Also it was said that there was going to be five types of dinosaur two unspecified with the others being the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor and Pteranodon. There were to be four characters in the game Regina, Rick, Gail and Dr Kirk all who appeared in the original game on the PlayStation. These sites also report that the game was to be 7 maps with 100 rooms in total. Some presumed screenshots from Fluid Studios’ Dino Crisis seem to have been leaked online too, but we don’t know their source. There are a few more details for this version of the game though: it would not be a top down adventure but rather using static backgrounds and images accompanied by text sequences. This was also said to be being developed late 1999 early 2000, for the GBC. This other cancelled game was said to be being developed by the now missing Fluid Studios another British developer who released games such as Top Gun: Firestorm (GB) and Army Men: Air Combat (GB and N64).

It used the exploration mode and battle system as Gaiden would use.

Resident Evil was already in development as an over-ambitious port from the PlayStation version. As we can read at NowGamer:Īs I recall, we produced a very impressive demo for a GBC version of Dino Crisis. It seems that this unreleased version of Dino Crisis was used as a base to develop the released Resident Evil Gaiden. M4 Ltd version of Dino Crisis GBC was never released, but they developed top-down Resident Evil Gaiden, published by Capcom in 2001. Virgin interactive handled development for Capcom in the UK and so they were handling this game, there was no word on where it would be released. M4 said that Dino Crisis for the GBC would be a top down adventure rather than how the original was, it would also be developed exclusively for the GBC by-passing any kind of black and white compatibility. M4 stated that the game would not be complete until Q4 of 2000 but development had started early in the year, this was reported by IGN who spoke to the developers.
