Unless it's guaranteed to do ungodly sales they won't. Capcom plays it safe and if a game doesn't sell like hotcakes then for them it's considered a failure. And I'm talking games that any other company would consider a success, for Capcom it has to be a god damn hot success. Look at games like Okami or Viewitful Joe or Maximo. all fantastic games that Capcom just won't go back to cause either the original didn't sell well or the sequel didn't. And Capcom has done this since the 90s. We kept buying Street Fighter 2 over and over again with Turbo, Tournament Edition, Championship Edition, Super, Super Turbo, Turbo Tournament Edition, etc, etc, etc cause they sold very well. it's safe, easy, money.
I mean hell fans want a new Megaman or Megaman legends, their god damn mascot essentially, and Capcom won't produce one cause the majority of gamers they feel won't buy it. Even their fighting games, like Tetsunoko vs Capcom - which is arguably one of the greatest fighting games ever made, won't get another one cause no one bought it.
So a new Dino Crisis or even a remake? I wouldn't hold my breath.
