Iconic PS1 survival horror Dino Crisis was released on PlayStation last month, but was only available for PS Plus Premium subscribers.

Now, though, the game has been made available to purchase for all and isn't locked behind a subscription.

What's more, another PS1 classic of the genre is also available to purchase separately: Resident Evil Director's Cut.

Thats a big one for me.

 

[Tsaki]

Those were the only ones right? Bodes well for the future games

 

[Badlucktroll]

I feel that capcom should release RE 1.5 to psn and market it as a new “classic”. just call it resident evil 2 alternate or something. from what i have played its very interesting but i can see why they canned it

 

[Fake]

I got the two right now. Thanks OP.

Funny enough, Playstation Store gave RE.Director Cut for free to me. I already have the PS3 version, but was always deny somehow.

Hmm... Going to check mine, I am sure I owned it before.

You already own another edition.

I have 3 versions apparently. Two DC (PS4/5) and normal.

Yup Dino Crisis was free for me. Must’ve bought it digitally at some point back during the PS3 days.

 

[Perrott]

The GOAT Resident Evil game finally free from PS Plus Premium purgatory

 

[The Fartist]

Yeah, shows up as "Purchased" for me too, though, I don't remember ever buying it, in fact I think I burned a copy back in 1999 when it 1st came out.

 

[dragonyeuw]

I'm in for Dino Crisis. Haven't played that since I rented it 20+ years ago....

EDIT: why isn't it showing up for me on the site? Do you have to be subscribed to Plus to see it?

Ummm ok, so I log out and then search for it, it shows up, I sign back in then when I add to cart, it prompts me to sign up to Plus.

EDIT 2: Never mind, at the bottom of the cart you can press skip to checkout and then game shows up to purchase. Weird but whatever...

 

[Fluffytheterrible]

60hz for REDC~!

 

[SkylineRKR]

Beat DC1 twice when it hit Premium. Great game, you need to play this a bit more smart than RE.

 

[Isa]

Thanks a million man!!!! Been waiting and hoping for this for what feels like years now. Got both for "free" but couldn't touch them until now. So stupid but at least they're finally available to us old purchaser plebs.

Sony offered free games after the identity theft breach, maybe that's how you guys ended up with this.

It’s only been two generations since that happened, and you’ve already forgotten what you had in your cart. Companies that don’t carry over licenses for digital purchases between generations (looking at you, Nintendo) are counting on situations like this. They’re banking on consumer forgetfulness, rubbing their greedy hands together, and hoping you don’t realize you’ve already bought this or that on an older version of their e-shop. Planned obsolescence for your memory.

 

[adamsapple]

Already bought RE DC last night when they put them up for purchase.

Very weird decision on Capcom's part but finally they saw reason.

 

[Vick]

RE Director's Cut must have been available for a while, as I've downloaded mine like a few weeks ago and it was free for me. Was super impressed by the port, absolutely amazing audio on the home theatre and very clean and cohesive image.

Gonna jump on Dino Crisis immediately, that one should also be free.

 

[RedC]

Do these emulated games go on sale?

If not, I'll buy them now; but if so, I'll wait.

 

[EN250]

Trophies?

 

[Dafegamer]

Now put the original RE2-RE3 on PS+ Capcom

 

[StereoVsn]

I got to admit that I can’t play most 3D PS1 games anymore without higher render quality through Duckstation, especially on a modern TV.

Is Duckstation really do something about the pre-render background?

The only solution here is really A.I

Yes but you can at least you play with a high quality CRT filter to show the art as it was seen during development and for players at the time

Also fart town usa GET ITT!

 

[Enzo88]

Is it me or RE doesn't exist on the Japanese store?

 

[zokie]

i tried and it works also if you bought Siren in 2016 on ps4

Siren (PS2 on PS4 Version)

I remember filters killing the pre-render backgrounds from Resident Evil PS1. Again, only A.I could really do a decent work with the backgrounds from RE PS1.

 

[TGO]

I have it on PS3 Digitally along with all the Resident Evils.
They're not showing up free here

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Need Dino Crisis 2 the better game on there. I already own it physical and got it on PS3 via downloading from a friend's US account but people need to access the better game. Dino Crisis one has a good atmosphere and music but the puzzle system is a nightmare and you aren't really meant to shoot the dinosaurs just run away.

 

[NeverYouMind]

There was an HD project for PC release that did a great job with it (ML upscaling).

Playstation Store is a mess. I could right from beggining get for free the RE, but that subscription layer is probably bugged.

 

[Famipan]

I wish PSN would get the GOG releases of RE1,2,3

 

[Mr Hyde]

Already own RE Director's Cut but instabought Dino Crisis. Weird of Capcom to lock it to premium. Glad it's been made available for purchase. It's a kick ass game.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Tank controls are hard as fuck to return to. Jesus christ

 

[Sooner]

Now add trophies.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Is it me or RE doesn't exist on the Japanese store?

In Japan the games are known as Biohazard.

 

[HYDE]

Thanks for the heads up op. Nice to be able to download (PS1/PS2) PS3 PSN games for free once they’re available on PS4/PS5.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Make sure to search for them on the store manually by typing in the game names. If you search for it in the classics catalogue, it still shows up a PS+ tier download. So it's a little bit confusing.

RE Director's Cut must have been available for a while, as I've downloaded mine like a few weeks ago and it was free for me. Was super impressed by the port, absolutely amazing audio on the home theatre and very clean and cohesive image.

You're right about it being available for awhile, I think most people were just checking the classics catalogue where it appears locked behind the sub.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Good, should have always been like this.

Hiding games behind a subscription service is bullshit.

 

[Hypereides]

No trophies, no buy.

You heard me. Get off your butts and do it, Capcom.

 

[Enzo88]

I know that much, still doesn't exist
Thank you for the help though.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Now add trophies.

No trophies, no buy.

You heard me. Get off your butts and do it, Capcom.

People really are Trophy Whores, aren't they.

 

[Hypereides]

People really are Trophy Whores, aren't they.

Hey, nothing wrong with extra incentive to buy a game. Various other newly added PS1 games already have this supported.
