Dino Crisis is a singleplayer cinematic-camera survival horror game by Capcom, originally released on PlayStation on July 1, 1999. It is one of the very few survival horror games released by Capcom on PS1 to use fully 3D rendered environments instead of prerendered backgrounds.
The game suffers from visible border artifacts on filtered textures with transparencies. Performance, resolution and texture distortion can be resolved by using Dino Crisis Classic REbirth.
