The Door Slam at 01:03. When I was playing the 1998 about 12 years old, that scared the shit out of me. I immediately went to check the surroundings always. Nice touch to the music, making gamers think its something that came in through the door.
Definitely one of the scariest tracks I've ever heard. Reminds me of Dwarfland by Angelo Badalamenti in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, another track of literal nightmare fuel.
I'm 41 now. This game came out right on my 16th birthday. Best feeling in the world when I got home from school and found the game waiting for me in the living room on my PS1, thanks to my older brother and mom. :)
man that door 1:04 🚪 slam, always used to scare the hell out of me, the atmosphere was top notch in this game, im 30 now and still find this game scary, used to play the hell out of it as kid 🥲 great times
@@NexusOng17It’s most likely a tam-tam, which is a giant flat gong that produces a crash sound that’s way louder than a typical crash cymbal. Given the production quality and instrumentation, it can easily be mistaken for a massive door being slammed. And yeah, the first time I played this game it gave me a massive jump scare as I though some giant monster had just entered the room I was in and slammed the door behind it.
@ploop fr. The remake, which wasn't just quite unfaithful to the original(axed the marshaling yard, sewers & redesigned the lab entirely) but also butchered the B scenarios for Claire & Leon, a "masterpiece"? The remake that locked the original soundtrack behind a paywall? Omegalul. People have such low standards these days, it's sad.
@@ShooberTimber Tell me about it, spot on about the low standards. These days they see good visuals and something advanced technically they scream amazement. Just the fact that they took away the original ost without dlc was a huge turnoff. Not to mention the cut content and the change of locations or events. And don't get me started on RE3 remake, a total joke. RE2 remake was a decent effort with some good ideas, but compared to the originals or the great 2002 RE1 remake? Not even close.
@@ShooberTimberyeah, people have hilariously low standards nowadays, no matter if its movies, games, or other stuff. The Remake tried veeeery hard to be scary, but they just made it way too dark. Can't see shit, i didn't notice most jumpscares because i didn't notice them. Plus 3rd person just isnt that scary anyway.
Its very hard to put into words the feeling of playing this back in 98 on the Playstation with the dual controller. Really difficult. It's not just the suspense of the track itself, not just the memories of the fireplace and the schoolroom, but the _feeling_ of being in that place at that time.
Since this soundtrack is also in Resident Evil 3, that bang sound at 1:04 always reminded me that the Nemesis broke down the front door of the RPD station! With the slow Erie music that comes after, feels like the game was telling me to watch my back because the Nemesis was now inside looking for me. That thought always scared me as a kid. Such wonderful memories.
My family and I used to all live together when I was about 4 or 5 years old. My Mom was about 22 at the time and we had to sleep on a fold out couch in the living room and she would play RE2 on my uncle's PS1 late at night. Being a little kid hearing this song and the zombie groans scared the shit out of me lol will never forget those moments in my life.
@@Dynoman9398 That was my thought. It almost sounds like something busting through a door. Considering what is wandering the halls in this game, it wouldn't be much of a stretch of possibly happening. Thus, making the sound effect more unnerving.
If RE2 taught me anything its: whenever you turn a corner or enter a new room, you ALWAYS aim your firearm, no matter what, even if you knew youd already been there before, because you never knew what could be lurking around.
This is one of my favorite tracks from any game. Not only is it unsettling, it's genuinely interesting, musically. The piano licks are so good. Brilliant.
That's the magic! The originals were so great because they had an unforgettable atmosphere. The music, the pre-rendered backgrounds, the effects, everything worked perfectly, and that's what seriously lacking since the first RE4 came out.
A masterpiece. Love this soundtrack a lot. This is one of the best game evermade. Love the classic and the remake. And i always play the remake with classic soundtrack. 😎😉
I remember playing this along time ago. When this came on and when i heard the bang i thought something was coming for me so i hid in a corner for ages ☹
I miss when Resident Evil had such atmospheric music like this. I adore the new entries like Resident Evil 7 and Village - but this is one thing they lacked.
Agreed. They've definitely gone back to a survival horror feel, but it's not the same as these. I understand that you can only use the same formula for so long, but the ambience of the older games had a much more hopeless and apocalyptic atmosphere. I definitely prefer it to the newer games' style.
@@ironpriest7586 likewise! The musical touch in the original games - even Code Veronica - was so memorable and added so much to the atmosphere. I am thinking as well of some of the Raccoon City themes when you ran around in Resident Evil 2 - this is severely lacking ever since Resident Evil 4 btw.
IMO, this soundtrack suits the green corridor with the boarded up windows in the west wing of the RPD (that leads to the briefing room where you get one of the Red Jewels) very well. Think about it... It's quiet... Too quiet... Zombies are capable of bursting in through those boards and the intact window near the ventilation shaft has the two long light bulbs reflected in it... Yet the reflected light looks like a pair of eyes watching you through the window...
i just played the game last night on b scenario of leon and you're right. i felt somewhat unsettled upon seeing that. just another reason why this game is so awesome and classic.
Damn I thought I was the only one.......I always see it still as a zombie that's been cut down but it's eyes are still staring dead at you every time you walk past.
So good back to these games, proper resi, I remember me and my primary school friend, I'm no, longer in contact with playing on this and getting the rear from the door banging sound. And the part between 1:25 and 1:50 ish is so eerie. Modern games just don't have that same feel.
When some people say RE1 was scarier than RE2 I've no idea what they're on about. This is some of the most terrifying music I've ever heard and it fits the scene of unknown evil that can brutally murder you at any time.
I once held that opinion, and while I still think Resi 1 is a masterpiece I have come to believe that 2 really is superior. Both games have an S rank when it comes to their soundtracks... and gameplay.
@@KevinsUA-cam you have to take massive points off RE1's basement soundtrack though. It literally sounds like someone trying to turn farts into music, lol
@@rockys201 Funnily enough, compositionally, the music is fine. It's the choice of instruments. There are a couple videos where someone changes out the instruments and it's actually really eerie. This has made some theorize that someone accidentally used the wrong instrument files and it got passed quality control.
1:06 I remember perfectly that when I was leaving the university, in front of me lived a classmate and it was the novelty in the year 2000, we used to sit down to play at 9pm in the dark with all the volume ... Literally one day I fell out of my chair with this terrified sound.
I thought I was the only one who fell out of the chair 😂😂😂 I was 9 years old I was playing as Leon and I was just passing through the corridor near the closed windows with pieces of wood when hands came in through the windows and attacked Leon. I was completely terrified by this 😂😂
Omg i remember that song... It was 1999, i was 13 years old, played this game and shitted my pants. Good old times, thank you Capcom for those memories ♥️♥️♥️
This once incredible atmosphere is lost to the ages… I hate to say that what this game did so fucking perfectly can never be captured in the same way again, I was terrified through my childhood wandering around that police station…
I agree, this game gave me real fear, maybe growing up takes away the emotions a little but I think the market went the other way, 3rd person action camera..., everything is aimed at a more naive audience or at least that is the impression that I have, now it is full of censorship, before this was just coming out and it didn't have all the filters of today, I really miss that time
one thing i'd noticed when i played this, when you get to the western wing of the station where its all boarded up, just before you turn left where the vent is and the door that leads to the evidence room and darkroom, take a look at the gap through the boarded up window. you'll see what looks like two lights that look like a pair of eyes, watching you. the amount of detail in this is amazing.
I played this game without a memory card, at that time I hardly even knew what one was, dying once felt almost like dying in real life, added to the incredible atmosphere of this game and the tension and suspense that its static camera caused me. oh man... what beautiful, irreplicable times How do you transmit this and the context of it at the time to a new generation?
Ever since I first played this when I was 12, I'd hear this music in my head whenever I'd go into an office area. Wether it was at school, college, or work. Hell, even a woman I dated worked in an office and it would sorta be the same whenever I'd see her in her office.
1:04 ok lets say that loud bang is canon part of the PD atmosphere, imagine how scary that would be you're in a mostly abandoned huge building, running through creepy dark narrow halls, nothing but either undead or creatures roaming around, and suddenly you hear that clear on the other side of the mosty quiet place
To add to your theory... there's a kicker to it. Both RE2 and RE3 run simultaneous to each other. RE3 starts September 28th, and RE2 begins on September 29th (a day later). Jill finally arrives at RPD shortly before Leon/Claire make their way in (as she's making her way through the city itself while Claire and Leon are making their way to the diner and meeting). That sound? Yeah it's *Nemesis Type-T himself* wandering around the RPD out of your sight. He's hunting. Not only is Nemesis Type-T there, but *so is Mr. X.* Think for a moment... Neither _Claire nor Leon_ are members of S.T.A.R.S. Thus, Umbrella would not have programmed him to hunt down regular R.P.D officers or use deadly force unless authorized. He's constantly roaming that building... but not for you. He's hunting for Jill. Mr. X is meant to cover any loose ends with RPD members and to support Chief Irons because of his ties to Umbrella. When Jill wakes up after being infected and later cured by Carlos, that is taking place on October 1st. Leon and Claire board the train and make their way out of the city before these points finish, otherwise they'd be caught in the bomb blast. So yeah... Let the fuel of both Mr. X *and* Nemesis in the building at the same time scare the living sh*t outta ya on your next playthrough. Even more menacing to consider? They even kind of proved it with the demo for RE2 I remembered this clip existed and this was a real easter egg in the demo itself, which alludes to the fact that he's in the area at that same time: ua-cam.com/video/sFRSjCKHLWY/v-deo.html
The creaking always freaked me out as a kid, thinking there was something approaching around the corner, especially when that little subtle (what i'm assuming is part of the piano?) low "moan" sound appears in the track at 0:25 and again at 0:50. I remember the first time hearing it while watching my older brothers play the game, shouting "i heard a zombie near by!" and they were like "what? no there isn't calm down" but it always sounded like a zombie's moan echoing in the distance. Great atmosphere to this game, seriously.
One of my all-time favorite Resident Evil 2 themes I don't know if this is been said but I'll say it this theme alone it's the theme that nightmares are literally made of such a creepy and showing theme especially if you play the game at midnight to 2:30 a.m.
My brother got this game on his 16th birthday, not even a week after this game first came out. Just a year earlier we had a marathon of going through the first game with 2 of our cousins. I’ll never forget the experience of us going through it when it was still brand new and not knowing what to expect
I listen to this whilst in the forest I live 10 miles from where my home is in the middle of the night just to awaken my senses. I hunt but to feel like I’m being hunted keeps me focused. Having the sensation of what most would call “in fear” is the best key to staying alert.
I normally do not like or care for horror media (let alone games), but Resident Evil 2's soundtrack is masterfully done. You can casually listen to it and enjoy it even outside of a setting or context appropriate for getting scared.
Me lembro quando criança nas vezes q eu tentava arriscar a jogar esse game, quando chegava nesse tema eu desligava o PS1 kkkkkkkkkkk tinha uma sensação de liberdade e alivio muito grande, perde as contas quantas vezes desligava o ps1 de tanto medo q o jogo me colocava, só fui zerar ele na adolescência, agora adulto não tenho mais medo de jogos de terror, filmes etc etc, esse jogo foi o único game e tbm a única coisa do gênero terror q me deu literalmente medo, hj em dia jogo outlast de madrugada em casa de boas kkk
The door slam noise is TERRIFYING. The music picking up straight after makes it even scarier 😭 I never played the original RE2 on PS1 but I know for a fact I would have been scared out of my mind hearing that 😂

This track scared the shit out of me as a child.
Same here when ps2

Reminds me of "Inquiry" from the game Ib
I'm literally sitting in the dark listening to this with the power out where I'm at this song fits the tone perfectly

Im 30 and got this in the 3rd grade lol

I'm 39 and RE2 remains one of my favorite games. The music is still top notch.
I got the N64 copy off my cousin I "borrowed" it and fell in love with the game.
Resident evil 2 still got the best soundtrack to date no contest
Wow completed this game when I was 11. Can’t believe I’m 32 soon. One of the best games ever made. Classic. Nostalgia 😍
Sim, muito nostálgico! ☹️
Same here, 32 now and every once in awhile I come back and listen to the soundtrack.
Can't believe i also completed this game around that age. Thinking back, woah was i brave, i can't even play it alone at this age lol
I was 11 also, im 34 now and I still play the game on a PSX emulator and actively listen to the soundtrack!!!

Epic childhood enough said.

The amount of sleepless nights I had back in my teenage years as this tune was stuck in my head.
A masterpiece from the Golden Era.

@@livingbeing1113 even though the police station is brighter, it's still scarier than the remake. maybe it's the camera angles

This is by no means an uncommon opinion from what I can tell from roughly aggregating general consensus

The door slam sound is a pretty damn nice touch.
10/10 would shit myself again
This song really gives you an unsettling feeling. Especially the slamming effect toward the end of the track (2:23).
This makes me remember back in my childhood playing RE3 and knowing that nemesis was looking for you and hearing that was like HOLY SHIT HE FOUND ME
Funny enogh, that 'slamming' sound was made noticeably LOUDER in the Re3 version. Subtle but noticeable.
Are u alive ?
yea very interesting sound effect, the slamming,, i wonder if they put it there to scare the player thinking something happened
@@Dynoman9398 That was my thought. It almost sounds like something busting through a door. Considering what is wandering the halls in this game, it wouldn't be much of a stretch of possibly happening. Thus, making the sound effect more unnerving.
This track gets even more terrifying when you're playing through RE3 for the first time.
I love the creaking door sounds.
This is the best theme in the whole franchise. I remember being a kid and just this music alone scaring the ever living piss out of me.
If RE2 taught me anything its: whenever you turn a corner or enter a new room, you ALWAYS aim your firearm, no matter what, even if you knew youd already been there before, because you never knew what could be lurking around.

Those zombies suddenly appearing behind a corner genuinely terrified me
This is one of my favorite tracks from any game. Not only is it unsettling, it's genuinely interesting, musically. The piano licks are so good. Brilliant.

Great atmosphere to this game, seriously.
those goddamn zombie arms when you backtrack after meeting claire
One of my all-time favorite Resident Evil 2 themes I don't know if this is been said but I'll say it this theme alone it's the theme that nightmares are literally made of such a creepy and showing theme especially if you play the game at midnight to 2:30 a.m.
My brother got this game on his 16th birthday, not even a week after this game first came out. Just a year earlier we had a marathon of going through the first game with 2 of our cousins. I’ll never forget the experience of us going through it when it was still brand new and not knowing what to expect
I occasionally dare myself to listen to this in the dark.
yeah, sometimes we need that rush of dread and shivers
I listen to this whilst in the forest I live 10 miles from where my home is in the middle of the night just to awaken my senses. I hunt but to feel like I’m being hunted keeps me focused. Having the sensation of what most would call “in fear” is the best key to staying alert.
....This was my favorite
I still have the double disc game
I love this one!! Actually I love all of them equally, but this one, at 1:04 it sounds like something tips over and falls ❤ cool effect to the music
1:04 when I was playing this game for the first time, I was convinced that was the sound of a door being slammed shut somewhere near me.
*"You got this."*
*"Focus Claire... Focus."*
Hated this track as a 15 year old kid playing the game at night, scared the shit out of me.
Born in 87', droppin that 87th like!
This track I play in dark when light goes out and while going on ground floor
Ah the old crash at the end, always scared you shitless like it was a part of the gameplay
Ah yes the sudden door jumpscare
I normally do not like or care for horror media (let alone games), but Resident Evil 2's soundtrack is masterfully done. You can casually listen to it and enjoy it even outside of a setting or context appropriate for getting scared.
Who played Nemesis first and then RE2. Knows who will be scared of this song
I played RE3 before RE2 but I found them both equally scary for different reasons.
**Music. Song has lyrics. smh.*
El terror psicológico MANDA
Omg when i was a kid this track gives me nightmares after playing it hahaha (born 1989)
Me lembro quando criança nas vezes q eu tentava arriscar a jogar esse game, quando chegava nesse tema eu desligava o PS1 kkkkkkkkkkk tinha uma sensação de liberdade e alivio muito grande, perde as contas quantas vezes desligava o ps1 de tanto medo q o jogo me colocava, só fui zerar ele na adolescência, agora adulto não tenho mais medo de jogos de terror, filmes etc etc, esse jogo foi o único game e tbm a única coisa do gênero terror q me deu literalmente medo, hj em dia jogo outlast de madrugada em casa de boas kkk
I used to think 2:24 was the sound of zombies breaking into the station. Scared the hell out of me as a kid
It could explain why some zombies can be found if you get a certain item or it's Chief Iron's or Sherry walking through the corridors.
Best survival Horror Soundtrack ever. I play re 2 remake with original ost
I like that you can use original OST.
This OST was new and horrifying back then, now familiar and relaxing.
This and the basement theme are the creepiest in this game
Something you hear when you walk into a room filled with dead bodies
the real survival horror music
0:09 scary 😱
Jill: Perfect, I got the Grenade Launcher/Magnum now I'll be more armed
Nemesis: Hold my Rocket Launcher
This knock at the end looks like something broken into the door coming in to get you
And next turn HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDS through the wall Oh noes...
Definitely in the top 5 of psx games.
Stalkersoup flashbacks
The door slam noise is TERRIFYING. The music picking up straight after makes it even scarier 😭 I never played the original RE2 on PS1 but I know for a fact I would have been scared out of my mind hearing that 😂
Do yourself a favor and play it. It's amazing
@@Fullmetal_Prodigy-03I’m definitely going to try, I’ve played the remake but I want the experience of the original
@@Shadow_Draws_20did you play the original yet?
The creepy backgrounds this music. The weird keys. The doors capcom go back to that please lol
The best song of Resident Evil 2
Reminds me of "Inquiry" from Ib.
All I hear is broken glass being stepped on. Perhaps a circular door handle turning but not unlocking aswell! :)
There go those damn zombies slamming doors again!
Wait a minute.. O_o
re2 remake zombie next to the safe with the classic music
who else played the Remake with the old soundtrack? (soundtrack swap)
1:04 I can imagine any kid being scared of this sound back then. Especially when they played 3.
dobra muza gdy siedzisz w pracy na zmianie nocnej… pomaga zmagać się ciemnością i naliczaniem VAT-u :P
This track made me shit on my fkin pants...
When I was a kid. I couldn't tell if that occasional crash in the track was actually something trying to break in. >.
And I was to scared to clean 'em!
Passed re2 original now just beat the remake, brilliant game,
