FarklesDoggo: That's what I meant. I like the map style gameplay of DC1 more than the run through areas and collect points style. Though I admit there is some appeal here and there in DC2.
Ahh yes, I understand, sometimes I'm a bit slow. So, DC 2 is basically "run around collecting stuff" from start to finish. The gameplay only changes in two or three points (or more, I don't remember now): When Dylan takes over the boat's machine gun and has to fire bullets at some sea dinosaurs; when he takes over the machine gun (again) from a car, and must do the same but this time with 2 or 3 Triceratops; and when he takes on a tank (thank God for a little change) to try to kill the T-Rex.

The ship's (a govt exploration ship) databanks contain kirk's research, which the AI used/uses to make dinos after the crew died

Interesting... This premise seems like a parallel reality of System Shock. XD

Yup. I actually like the slower paced RE style stuff. Of course the "run out of ammo, now ya gotta knife the dinos head on" stuff I could easily do without :)

The "ship found after many years" also reminds me of Event Horizon.

Capcom ended up using the DC 2 arcade formula in RE 4 and continued like that until the franchise started to decline, until they went back to their "roots" with RE 7. I remember it like it was yesterday, all the hate that RE 4 received... Over time it ended up making it a classic.

RE4 has some regular map style areas and inventory, and is a tad less linear than DC2. And yes, RE4 is pretty good. RE5 though, while decent, isn't classic RE enough imo.

Took me a few days, but I finished up both games in the bundle.

Really glad that GOG finally brought these back from the dead. Well, the first one in particular - while it's give and take, the second game is overall a little better on the PS1. Either way, had a great time.

Big fan of these in-depth revival efforts from GOG, and obviously, I'm really glad to see more Capcom stuff here.

Wow... that seems even faster than the RE games reached those heights, unless I'm mistaken. Good to see that the games are doing well - this sorta thing needs to get rewarded.
