Paczyński admitted that the success of this cooperation will make it easier for GOG to persuade other manufacturers to re-launch old games.
He even bluntly said that the launch of “Resident Evil” and “Dino Crisis” “has helped GOG’s visibility more than almost anything in recent years.” It has also allowed more Japanese manufacturers to begin to see that classic games still have the opportunity to shine again on the PC platform.

Currently, one of the Capcom classics that players most want to see return is “Resident Evil Code: Veronica
For many old gamers, the return of classic games to modern PCs is not just about nostalgia, it also means that these works will not disappear due to hardware obsolescence. Now that “Resident Evil” and “Dino Crisis” have successfully proven that there is still demand in the market, it’s no wonder that everyone is starting to look forward to who will be the next Capcom classic to be rescued.
