10 Gaming Characters Whose Fates Were Left Unresolved

5. Regina & Dylan - Dino Crisis 2

The original Dino Crisis is one of the PS1's greatest video games - Resident Evil with Dinosaurs, perhaps, but brilliantly executed in its own right, with a likeable and well-designed protagonist in red-haired femme fatale Regina.

Though the sequel ditched the survival horror elements and opted for a more sci-fi-heavy arcade-style shooter, it still made good on the pulse-racing, dino-shooting action, even if it criminally left Regina's fate head-smackingly ambiguous.

Dino Crisis 2 ends with Regina using a time gate to get back to her own time, but her pal Dylan (who the player also controls during the game) is unable to join her, due to his future daughter Paula getting trapped by debris.

Dylan tells Regina to travel back in time by herself and find a way to save them, providing a solid setup for the third game.

Bizarrely, though, Dino Crisis 3 ended up being set in the 2500s, with no mention ever made of what happened to either Regina or Dylan - not to forget Paula.

While there have been periodic whispers of an impending Dino Crisis reboot, much like those Syphon Filter rumours a new game would almost certainly abandon the existing continuity altogether.
