I think it's still in the cards. I think they are waiting to see how Resident Evil 7 does, and teh RE2 remake before jumping in. Jurassic World 2 isn't coming out till 2018-2019. I think they may still make one depending on how Resident evil franchise does currently.

They were all real pitches. But not all of them are being made potentially.
Gotcha. That does indeed make sense. If any of them are alive then my choice would be Knights of Aegis.
Thanks for the information!
The most logical course for a new DC would be action so I'm not sure why they would need to wait on RE7 and especially Remake 2 to start on it.

I'd take nothing over a rebooted helmed by Capcom Vancouver.
Don't worry guys, I hear they're going to remake it. It will be very faithful to the original. Firstly, there will be no dinosaurs in it as they doesn't test well with focus groups. They will instead put zombies and open world game design. And it will be written by 4 writers, and it will have social commentary. The dinosaurs will represent the political classes.

Their western touch compared to Capcom Japan and how dead Rising 4 was received
They ruined Dead Rising.

What could go wrong?
I haven't played it but it seems like Dead Rising 4 may have been "focused tested to death" or something like that. Basically it removed a lot of what made the series fun and what fans enjoyed while poorly executing anything new that may have drawn new players in.
Sounds like they should have just made a new one in the Dead Rising 3 mold.

Nah, they could do moody atmospheric stuff on an island with night and day cycles that change the behavior patterns of certain dinosaurs. Imagine having to run out to a generator at night and you have a light on your hand gun that the battery once in a while goes out and you have to hit it, or find a recharge station. I think that would be compelling lighting wise imagine stumbling during the day on a sleeping T-REX and doing things with scents.
There are multiple ways to go, action is what got us Dino crisis 3. Dino crisis 2 was great, but was all during the day, and you had tons of ammo, and weapons to kill anything with.
A mix of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 with DC 1's atmosphere would be great.

Lol.
Jokes aside, i always wondered how did Rick get to the control room without being attacked or seeing anything suspicious. The raptors had everything destroyed and walls blood-stained on the facility.

Just turn Dino Crisis into Alien: Isolation.

take that BACK!!!!
I would be ok with that, but didn't RE7 do that and it's combat is pretty good. I would rather do something along the lines of Evil within but less enemies at a time thrown at you in the beginning leading you up to a big fight closer to the end with more dinosaurs.
Instead of imaging wrestling with a flashlight battery I'd rather imagine dodging and diving all over the place with RE6 combat (which isn't being held back by RE). It's ground based combat component would be perfect for fighting dinos.
It would make the new DC stand out more and also differentiate it more from RE. RE can have the slow/moody pace with RE7/RE8, DC can be all out action.

I predict Microsoft will fund the Ghost N' Goblins reboot for CV.

Wait, how do we know the Knights is real and that it's being made by Capcom Vancouver?
Do you have some inside knowledge Jaw?

Yes. That's all I can say. If a mod wants it verified i can give that info.
I don't want to bother you but I really like the idea and wanted to ask you: is it in production at the moment?

GnG> Dino crisis anyway,so it's a good thing

Wow, that's actually a relief cause I was afraid that Itsuno might've been working on the Knights instead of DMC5.
And yeah, sorry for your loss
Only one question for you if you don't mind: Insider knowledge of Capcom Vancouver or Capcom as a whole?
If you don't want to answer, it's fine! You've already given us enough!

If it's not cancelled it should be past production unless they scrapped it.

I'll never give up hope
Capcom v this story only. If I get more in the future I'll share,

No more questions. I hate this lol.
I don't know anything about other upcoming capcom games

I really liked the slow pace of DC 1 though?
RE6 is hot garbage outside of Leon campaign. I don't want Capcom to revisit anything like that for DC. DC 3 was too action oriented, it needs to be reintroduced in a way that makes sense. Going all out action isn't the way IMO.

This is so sad to hear, I still live in hope for a reboot that takes the spirit of the first game and makes something new and interesting.
...So they're working on some type of Ghouls n Ghosts reboot/reimagining? Huh. We'll see. At least the Knights thing sounded good on paper.
As for DC...count me in as one that definitely hopes RE6's mechanics find a good home, there. Punching, kicking and/or suplexing a Raptor just sounds like something that would fit.

I'd take the new IP. Capcom haven't made a decent game since RE4 back in 2005 so there's a 100% chance they would completely and utterly screw up the Dino Crisis reboot, probably make it another Outlast FPS game but with scripted dinosaur jump scares, and maybe throw in some survival elements like hunger and thirst because that's what's cool these days.

You honestly think a modern Dino Crisis reboot in the wake of Dead Rising 3 and Resident Evil 6 would be good?

Why not? Resident Evil 7 was awesome.

I wouldn't mind a Dino Crisis remake in the vein of the first RE REMake.
I think that's do wonders for the series.
Ah well

Yeah but the guys who pitched Dino Crisis didn't make RE7, they made Dead Rising 4. Capcom Vancouver's track record sucks.
Fancy Clown

Did they make Dead Rising 3 or RE6? I thought you meant Capcom making it in general. This team would not be my pick.

I'll see if I can get this clarified. But my source was saying Capcom JP was offering Dino Crisis to capcom CV.
I am unsure if CV then rebutted with the three pitches that have leaked instead.
But at the most basic. Capcom JP offered CV Dino Crisis, they said no. We then got KoA instead from CV.

Maybe they're tired of Dead Rising.
The big positive to take away here is that it was Capcom themselves that offered CV to do the reboot (according to the OP) so they haven't completely forgotten about the series like many assume.
And it was in 2013 when they were still more liable to hand their Japanese IPs to western devs to work on (whereas the current Capcom would be more likely to work on it themselves).
So yeah, if anything this gives more hope to those still believing.

Capcom Vancouver made Dead Rising 3.
Actually I think the RE6 style would translate well to dinos... better than zeds at least. Having a similar freedom of movement along with the super quick dinos would be a good fit

My point still stands, a CV made Dino Crisis would suck.

I wouldn't disagree. After DR3 & DR4 I don't exactly trust them
