<\/figure>\n Earlier this year, Capcom officially unveiled Exoprimal<\/em><\/span>, a new Anthem<\/em>-like online shooter featuring loads of dinosaurs. That dino-filled trailer also featured a woman with red hair, which seemed to be a nod or even a connection to Dino Crisis 1 <\/em>and 2<\/em> lead Regina. Was this new Exoprimal <\/em>game connected to Dino Crisis<\/em>? Well, now we have confirmation straight from Capcom that\u2026no, it isn\u2019t. Sorry.<\/p>\n In an interview with IGN <\/em>earlier this week<\/span>, Capcom director Takuro Hiraoka talked about what Exoprimal <\/em>is and, more importantly for some players, what it isn\u2019t. When asked by IGN <\/em>if Exoprimal <\/em>is connected to Dino Crisis<\/em> in any way, he confirmed that although the initial trailer seemed to hint at some sort of connection, that wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n \u201cNo,\u201d answered Hiraoka. \u201cThe game is its own unique thing and has no relationship to Dino Crisis<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n I have no idea if IGN <\/em>asked this, but a good follow-up question I would have asked is this: Then what was the decision process behind teasing a new dinosaur game by including a red-haired woman as a big part of Exoprimal<\/em>\u2019s <\/em>first reveal? All that did was anger and disappoint Dino Crisis<\/em> fans<\/span> for no reason and those poor souls don\u2019t need to suffer anymore. A lot of them had to endure playing the last released game in the series, 2003\u2019s Dino Crisis 3<\/em><\/span>. They suffered enough.<\/p>\n Other details revealed in this same interview include the confirmation that Exoprimal <\/em>will not be a free-to-play game and will instead be a \u201cfull-priced release,\u201d shipping both digitally and physically.<\/p>\n G\/O Media may get a commission<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n According to Hiraoka, the initial concept for Exoprimal <\/em>was to create something that featured \u201csatisfying action\u201d but was different from past Capcom games.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of a game like Monster Hunter<\/em>, where you face a single, powerful enemy, we thought that the experience of taking on and overcoming a huge horde of enemies had the appeal and potential to be the basis of a new IP,\u201d explained Hiraoka.<\/p>\n \u201cWe also thought that it would feel great to share that experience with others online, and so the basic concept of Exoprimal <\/em>was born.\u201d<\/p>\n
