The Kickstarter page notes the inspiration for the game, and how it wasn’t only driven through the developer’s own desires, but through the multitude of requests for a game likeDeathground. Many of those requests stem from the popularity of theJurassic ParkandJurassic Worldfilms. While a trademark from Aprilhints at a newJurassic Parkgame, it has yet to be revealed.
Many of the “requests” surrounding the idea of a Dinosaur horror game stem directly from a game synonymous with dinosaurs.Dino Crisiscontinues to be a franchise that receives some of the most frequent and passionate requests for a comeback. With dream games likeShenmue 3,Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and eventhe recently revealedSkate 4,Dino Crisiscrawls higher on the list of desired dream projects.
Capcom has long overlooked the franchise since the lastDino Crisisreleased to critical revulsion and player disdain.Dino Crisis 3, the Original Xbox exclusive, is considered the death knell for the franchise. While rumors have circulated thata reboot was pitched to Capcom, the project was inevitably shot down according to reports.
So for theDino Crisisfans out there,Deathgroundmay be the closest thing to a reboot or re-imagining. While it doesn’t hold the same weight,Deathgroundcan be seen as a modern horror interpretation of dinosaur survival, so those interested should check out the Kickstarter. If a Dinosaur Horror Indie doesn’t do it for fans, they could alwaysturnDino Crisisinto the nextSkate 4and will it into existence.
Deathgroundis currently on Kickstarter with the funding deadline of August 7.
