Dino Crisis (1999)
The story of Dino Crisis takes place on a fictional location known as Ibis Island in the year 2009. The Secret Operation Raid Team (SORT) has sent an agent, Tom, to investigate a research facility. During the recon mission, he learns that Dr. Edward Kirk, a world-renowned scientist who was reported dead three years ago, is leading a secret weapons project within the facility. SORT sends four agents (Regina, Gail, Rick, and Cooper) to acquire Kirk and return him to custody. The team arrives on the island under cover of darkness, dropping in via parachute. Cooper is blown off course and lands in the jungle away from the others. Lost in the dark, he is chased down by a Tyrannosaurus rex and eaten. The other three agents, unaware of his death, proceed with the mission.
Dino Crisis 2 (2000)

Secret Operations Raid Team operative Regina returns as one of the main playable characters, sent along as an adviser to the rescue team that travels through time to find survivors of the time displacement and recover data on the Third Energy experiments. Dylan Morton, the rescue team leader, is the second playable character. Despite Dylan and Regina initially going their separate ways, they end up joining forces to find a way back to the present. The player switches between controlling Regina and Dylan at specific points during the story.

Future
For several years fans have been asking for a new installment/reboot in the Dino Crisis series, and since 2014 there were a lot of rumors circulating that Capcom had placed Dino Crisis 4 under development, and Shinji Mikami (the creator of the series) had himself stated to have had ideas for a new game.
On March 30, 2014, Phil Spencer (the new head of Xbox) was questioned about whether or not rumors that Dino Crisis 4 would be released on Xbox One were true, to which he responded "We aren't working on DC, it would have to be another publisher if it were true.".
On May 9, 2015, Adam Dodd of Bloody Disgusting also urged Capcom to release a remastered version of the original Dino Crisis as they did with Resident Evil.
On January 11, 2016, Jorge Bocanegra of Rely on Horror reported that Tao Weishi (the producer of the popular video game Monster Hunter Online) was interested in working with Capcom on a revival of the Dino Crisis series. Bocanegra also stated that "It would certainly be nice to get a Dino Crisis revival. And Capcom could potentially start by remastering the original game, which would fall in line nicely with their current strategy when it comes to remasters."
Adam Dodd of Bloody Disgusting commented on this saying "That could mean just about anything, but the mission right now is to remind Capcom there’s an audience out there for a horror game about carnivorous dinosaurs turning us into people-shaped snack foods, and that’s progress. It’s also just one of about a half dozen properties Weishi name-dropped, along with Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Onimusha and Sengoku Basara. Come on, Capcom. I believe in you."
