If you played this game during your childhood or when it came out; consider yourself lucky. We may not see a game of this quality in a looooooong time. Cherish this feeling, these memories. We were very lucky to play this
I was sixteen years old when it came out, so I consider myself very fortunate in that regard. Although I do like RE2, the first one (the Director's Cut) will always be my favorite.
We got resident evil 1 with our ps1 for Christmas when I was 6 years old, my dad loved playing the game so much when he heard there would be a second one, he took me and my sister to hmv to get the game. We also got mortal Kombat trilogy because if you spent over a certain amount you got a free memory card and by that time, we'd ran out of save slots. I remember being kinda scared of this game as a kid and the music definitely had something to do with that. Even the virgin interactive sponsor bit at the start got me panicking 😂
Remember my first time booting this up when I was 14, streets were lit ablaze and zombies were everywhere as I picked Leon to go first, can still see it in my head to this day. I really miss classics like this.
I've played every resident evil since it began; and this one is still my favorite. I've loved many of them; but I still keep my ps2 handy so I can pop this in and play it from time to time
This maybe sound stupid but I lost my older brother on May 99, my mom gave me a PSX for Christmas this helped me a lot for some reason, I was able to travel to another world and escape from the tragedy and live another tragedy with Leon and Ada. But well at least this one was fictional.
TheGreatBritishGamer 1.5 had a great soundtrack. Dunno if I would say it beats Resident Evil 2's, but tracks like Laboratory 3, this (even though it counts toward both versions) and the RPD tracks make for a compelling argument.
What a beautiful scene. Just you, Ada and the music. No enemies around, you can simply enjoy the atmosphere. I can't remember the last time I had a scene like that in a modern video game...how sad.
I'll never forget when I was 12 sleeping over at my friend's house, we decided to pull an all nighter and beat this game without dying since we didn't have a memory card. Took a couple of tries but I was the last person to play and beat it. I remember really feeling like I was Leon in the game exhausted and tired from staying up all night playing ( it was close to 6am at this point) just making it to the train as fast as I could before the self destruct sequence activated. God such amazing childhood memory I'll always cherish.
boldbearings You sir, are a genius. I never thought about it. No, not with this theme. I do with others, but this one i suspect will work wonders. Thank you for the idea.
Hahahah Legit, I used to listen to this as I studied and did my homework back in 2015. I find it amazing, sometimes I would put up the entire OST and just listen away while I did my things, definitely fitting.
This track in my opinion perfectly captures the weariness that Leon/Ada, Claire/Sherry must've felt by the time they made it to the factory, it also reminds me of getting up at 3AM to go to work Lol
If this is the theme of your late 90's life, you must have been through some pretty gloomy and mysterious things. And I mean this in a positive way :-)
New Resident Evil Save Room Music late 90's saw me trying to forget my father who left, and just living in near poverty afterward. For some reason I associate this with those memories.
Hearing this takes me back too. Laid on my bunk bed playing this and thinking I'm almost at the end of the game. Not wanting to continue because it would be over
This music really puts things in perspective. It makes you appreciate the situation that everything is so dire. It really sinks in at this point that this really is the end of the world.
Wow, I didn't know so many people felt the same thing I feel when I listen to this particular soundtrack. I've always loved playing this game and I've always loved this soundtrack!!!
The part where this is playing and you can see the industrial backdrop with the moon in the sky and distant zombie moans way off in the city is imo one of the best uses of audio in gaming history. The way it conveys dread, fear, sadness, and loneliness all at the same time was pretty amazing - especially for early 1998 which is starting to get close to 20 years ago now. I (like many others apparently lol) used to get to that part and just sit and take it in for a few minutes. It's such a terrible shame Capcom has abandoned this kind of thing for Resident Evil. I've absolutely hated the last several numbered titles starting from 4. I'm going to see what they do with 7, but if I read that it's going to be another "action/horror" game like the last 3, then sadly I'll pass on it and I think I'll be pretty much done with this franchise. And to think these guys just spent 70-something million bucks on R&D so they can be more in-tune with their fanbase? Really? JUST READ SOME FUCKIN' UA-cam COMMENTS FOR CHRIST SAKES!!!!!!! If they'd stop fixing what wasn't broken to begin with, listen to their fanbase (aside from maybe FF 7, RE 2 has to be the most demanded remake EVER), follow through on what they say they're going to do, and not milk their properties to DEATH (like 300 million iterations of RE 4 for example), they wouldn't be in the financial trouble that they're in now....
MikeLee1083 The saddest part is that fans are now remaking RE2 because Capcom are too lazy. There's a REALLY good looking one in development, but sadly I think it'll only be for PC, and even then I dunno how far it's gonna get because I don't think they're gonna be able to get the licensing rights. Ideally, Capcom should just say "here...we'll give you the rights for a 65% stake in sales and we'll also port it to consoles". Even if it's just a PSN/XBL download, at least that way we're all happy, a young upstart developer lands on the map in a major way, and Capcom just has to sit back and get paid - everybody wins. Unfortunately though, I think at this point those people are just too clueless to see the upside on this. We shall see what happens at E3 I guess....I've heard there's a very good chance RE 7 will be officially announced. It's do or die time for them as far as I'm concerned (even though me not buying makes no difference to them LOL).
My beef with 4 was that it was indeed very different from the originals. Not always a bad thing in some cases, but considering that it also set the stages for 5 and 6, I have a hard time looking at it in a positive light because it was, to me anyhow, the beginning of a series (that gave me countless childhood memories) losing it's identity. I didn't like it when it was first revealed to be radically different, and I like it even less now that the series has plummeted to the depths it has. It would have been a phenomenal game had it not been branded as RE, but to me the damage it did to the series will always outweigh the positives it had (btw this is Jmo....I'm not criticizing your, or anyone else's opinion on 4 - it's yours and I respect it)
I agree with you 100% on COD. I started at 2 when I initially got my Xbox 360 and totally fell in love with it. 3 was kinda miss (for me anyway), but 4 blew me (and the rest of the world) away. Black Ops 1 wasn't too bad, but nowhere near as good as 4 Sadly, the series became a victim of it's own success because skill has been replaced by ease of use so they can drum up more sales with the "everyone can play!" approach and the whole thing is now just an arcadey twitch-fest.
Damn... I can't state this enough, the Japanese late 90s early 2000s soundtracks are just... idk man unique and weird and haunting and nostalgic and damn I can't even describe then precisely!
I hear this when it's a full moon. I'd sit out on my porch or in the garage with a cold beer in my hand and enjoy watching the beautiful full moon rise up in the night sky.
Wow...in the first 10 seconds you can hear the pain and suffering of industry. Whatever was there before, is no longer. The sounds and noises are what machines and factories would sound like, if they were slowly dying. This whole track, complete with the environment, is nothing but industrial ghosts and spirits who are forever tortured and trapped, rusting and rotting away while even worse menaces face the creators of them.
By the time I got to this area of the game, I needed the respite and calm tone. I was thirteen, inadequately developed emotionally, strung out on RE and could hardly play for twenty minutes at a time without shitting myself, so I'm pretty grateful that the developers put this little nugget here for us. I don't know that it was intentional, but it was surely welcome.
Those voices were the scariest part, i just imagined all the people out there who where no more because of the incident. It was the first time i renember writing a diary entry, saying how scared i was. Those memories will forever be with me.
Kevin Noneya isso pode indicar que você ainda está muito apegado ao seu passado, dentro dos limites é sadio, é normal relembrar os bons tempos porém, devemos nos esforçar para "criarmos novos tempos", tempos felizes e sadio. Significa que devemos viver o agora fazendo-o sempre melhor.
One of my favorite themes in all of Resident Evil. This music and the abundance of ammo and health items told you that danger was ahead; get ready for a fight.
its really comforting, but also weird to see that this is many peoples favorite part of the game, as it is mine but I had no idea people thought this part was amazing as I did, until now..
Amazing memories from childhood. I was in secondary school when this was released. What a game.... Amazing memories, not as disposable as games these days.
"This is it...there is no turning back. It's now or never, but I know I can do it. I've killed zombies, dogs, lickers, solved a lot of puzzles, survived a bullet wound, fought the tyrant, so there is nothing I can't handle...I've come this far, it's time to move on and destroy umbrella." ***ALARM GOES OFF*** "Let the party begin!!!"
Miss the time when I was truly afraid of a game...the beatiful feeling of loss and anguish interrupted by short pauses of fictitious calm like this..with that bgm playing...never experienced anything like that in today's games..
When i hear this track it makes me feel just how exhausted the characters really are, the gravity of the situation in Raccoon finally settling in after the nightmarish, instinct-driven scramble through the police station and sewers
I feel so strangely calm but nervous inside when i am listening to it...remember that time 15 years ago...frighten as a child...that first time I came here to train...with red condition...didnt know what comes next...
I have to admit, this song is one of the songs I listen to when I need to clear my head. Also it brings me to a whole different world and keeps me away from all the bad things in life. Gotta love these soundtracks.
This is my favorite song of this game. It makes me feel sad and at the same time alone. Thanks to this song I had nightmares when I was a kid. For this reason RE2 is my favorite game of the series. It's so perfect
The peace and calm of a run down and abandoned building. The moon serves like a distant guide and reminder: there are reasons to hope and fight out there. Establishing a connection beyond the game world, too.
Probably my favorite piece from RE2. It's atmospheric and moody. I can see myself standing alone in the city of Racoon City hearing the moaning of the zombies in the background while this plays.
I still remember when I first heard this track. It was a cool October night and I had the window cracked open because it was too warm in my room. This music was perfect and chilled me to the bone.
Hands down this is the best soundtrack from RE2, it brings back so many precious, nostalgic memories of me trying to beat this as a kid. They better include this in the remake.
I must've completed this a trillion times. I remember when I first discovered this game as a very small child, and considered it a huge achievement getting to the gun shop as Leon. I knew where the door was, but was way too scared to venture out. Eventually I did, and every new milestone (Police station, basement, sewers, etc) was like a huge adventure which somehow consumed weeks at a time. Even now, nearly ten years after my disc broke, I could still run through that game in less than an hour, and perfectly mimic every single line spoken. I never unlocked the mini-games though, and I'll never know why.
I feel you, my expirience was a little different though. I became familiar first with the original one, which someone played as I watched it like a live Let's Play, along with titles like parasite eve I & II, Silent hill completely up to The Room, Dark Messiah and so on. I was myself too scared to play after I realised with 7 what a Licker actually is... :D kinda funny if you look back. But I have quite some fond memories of it cause of the good stories backing them up and not every genre and gameseries were kinda milked out. It was a time also of great new tec every now and then like ps1 to ps2 and stuff. As for the minigame, I recently bought a notebook and took RE2 with me as single game, where I actually looked up the how to and have gone for the Vickers one at the start^^ sry for the long text tho
The good ol' days, eh? Sadly, I have to be cliche and agree; they really don't make them like this anymore. They really focused on the game's storyline, and for that reason they became their own work of art. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, game developers realized you can make a LOT of money with little effort when it comes to games, and that's exactly what they started doing. But hey, atleast I can say I got to enjoy the good games; not the money-milking, explosion-filled soap operas they've now become.
Terrible Tanner dude that's basically the same thing I did! We had a ps2 but no ps1 memory card. I first played this when I was 3 and beat in in around 2012 when I was 10
I remember Sunday evenings spent unto night with the inventory menu up so I can hear this before school the next day. Kids these days don't know what hype is. . .
I was so happy that Capcom included the option to let you replace the remade OST with the classic OST. This track being the biggest reason why since it’s my absolute favorite, and already I thought the remake was going to be one of the best games i would of played in a while, and it did not disappoint, not one bit. Putting on the classic OST really made it without a doubt, one of my favorite video games ever made. The fact that a 20 year old masterpiece OST could still fit perfectly with a brand new one, entirely made from the ground up remake based on a 20 year old game astounds me and I wish more remakes did this. Can’t wait for RE3 Nemesis, they definitely have to include the classic OST.
Definitely and peaceful yet eerie sound. Of course when the strings come in, it's just awesome. Brings me back to the days when my sister and I were so excited all the time to play. Fantastic music to set he atmosphere of what's to happen, and yet to come...
Quillz06, exactly! It’s like everyday your like, “Man, whats gonna happen tomorrow? What’s gonna happen beyond this point...” just like Leon and Ada were thinking
Just imagine wandering around an abandoned train yard at 4:00 AM, zombie ravaged and run down, not knowing the next turn around the cars could be your last, but at least the music is eerily tranquil.
Odd to think that without horror we would never get gems like this music and this game. I guess sometimes an evil thing like horror can produce a good thing.
Something about this theme and the area, I always imagine when they step outside the Autumn night and a warm, gentle breeze blowing almost to break up the carnage of the night
Well, they decided to go non union with the voice acting route and so Alyson Court won't be returning to do Claire. If they don't fix that, chances are they'll screw up a lot on the remake.
Beautiful yet haunting. You can either move forward to complete the last leg or go back to the hell you left behind. Either way, you're still in the nightmare until you've reach the light at the end of the tunnel... Love this game and its soundtrack!
ironically, I remember this part as being the absolute scariest in all of RE history even though nothing really happens. The music and the rather uneventful events of this very part chilled me to the bone.
manolako They claim the Deluxe Edition will allow you to swap the new OST with the original which is awesome. And yes, very much hope this track makes it in the remake as well as the Factory theme!
Man I was really hoping that everything would be like exactly the same on the remake of re2, just with amazing graphics and the re4 over the shoulder shooting style. Well I gotta admit I'm somewhat disappointed with the The teaser I saw. From what I remember The scene was in pitch black darkness Leon just had a flashlight and from what I could barely make out, the police station was almost basically unrecognizable except for one area I think. From what I remember and have heard it looks like the shooting style is gonna be what I was hoping for but that's about it. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. How amazing would it be though if they kept alot of the main music themes like the marshalling yard second half and the scary laboratory theme.
@@nicholaswilliams8470 The remake was one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had in the gaming world. Terrible remake and the RE3 remake is worse. Seriously fuck these millennial devs at Cashcom.
Such a beautiful acurate point of the game... It was exactly the point when it was not posible to come back to the comisary. Somehow it was a pivotal moment. And it was shared with this mysterious character..
Last year, i came home from work one night during a blizzard. It reminded me of this spooky track! The echoes and eerie music gives you the sense that it's dark and cold outside with no one to rescue you. We need Resident Evil 2 Remake ASAP!!
This game got me through some pretty rough times. This is my favorite soundtrack from it. I first played it when I was 13 I will always love this game.
After I played RE2 on the N64 back in the day I never knew the soundtrack would have as big of an impact on me as it did. Throughout my life, I would randomly have this song pop in my head and just yearn for the chance to play it again on modern consoles... with the RE2 Remake soundtrack swap, I finally got the chance again. :D
Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to this, my brother died in a tragic accident a couple of years ago, and this song was playing in my dream, where me and my brother were walking down a road with lots of trees swaying in the background, and the sky was a blood orange colour, it was so vivid and will stick with me forever.
I'm playing this game for the first time in my life, and i just came to this part of the game, and i never felt so fucking relaxed man. Eerie and peaceful, just like the music of Half Life.

Facts. RE2 Remake was great, but not this great.
Remember my first time booting this up when I was 14, streets were lit ablaze and zombies were everywhere as I picked Leon to go first, can still see it in my head to this day. I really miss classics like this.
I've played every resident evil since it began; and this one is still my favorite. I've loved many of them; but I still keep my ps2 handy so I can pop this in and play it from time to time

I understand, This game has special meaning to me too.
I'm so sorry for your loss my friend, may you and your dearly departed brother be reunited together in the next life.
I know *exactly* what you mean
Resident Evil is a coping mechanism
Mine was Minecraft when it first came out. Helped to take away the pain
What makes this genius is that you cannot describe the emotions it evokes: horror, relief, mystery, anticipation, danger, apprehension, restlessness
You hit the nail on the head
The music is „open“. It offers a general frame, but leaves room for your own mood to flow into it.
Fun Fact: This track was originally featured in RE 1.5, and is one of the very few RE 1.5 tracks to make it into the final game.
TheGreatBritishGamer 1.5 had a great soundtrack. Dunno if I would say it beats Resident Evil 2's, but tracks like Laboratory 3, this (even though it counts toward both versions) and the RPD tracks make for a compelling argument.
@@biohazard2236 Is the "Steve" and Snake icon combined a Steak Bentley reference?
@@YuuyaKZMI Nah, complete coincidence.
Disappointed they replaced the original 1.5 save room theme
Yes, it was in RE 1.5, which I have the unpopular opinion of thinking had a much more superior darker atmosphere.
What a beautiful scene. Just you, Ada and the music. No enemies around, you can simply enjoy the atmosphere. I can't remember the last time I had a scene like that in a modern video game...how sad.
+Toni CounterLife Demon's Souls
Oh yes. One of the best games ive played
The best resident evil game in the series, in my opinion.
was going to comment bloodborne
i remember having to play the game to this point to listen to this music before UA-cam existed... now i hardly play because of UA-cam.
They really did something special here. Not just this song but the whole game.
During Halloween my daughter and I play this while passing out candy.
Most of them have no idea where this music comes from. Nice soundtrack.
I do the same thing, but I use more of "Silent Hill 2." Most kids are too afraid to approach the porch with that blasting on speakers
@@XenoGuru That’s awesome! Such great soundtracks.
Very wise! Once I buy a house, I will do the same!
Passing out candy to trick or treaters. Miss that Halloween is the best unofficial holiday.

I applaud that. I don't/didn't have the perseverance to do it all in one go, restarting from the beginning after dying.

This song made me feel alone, cold, so fear but I still love it
jesusavelar me too I feel like they created the perfect background too the moon and the steel area with the train
So do I
alone and away from everything
We all felt that. The action scenes wouldn't feel the same without those empty, melancholy moments.
This is the perfect song to play when going outside for a walk at night, with the fluorescent full moon hanging above you.
This is the scene where you reflect on all the hopelessness, pain and misery of Raccoon City. Bone chilling stuff
Very cold and isolated. Perfect for reading or writing.....Time to catch up on all those journals and memos I've been picking up.

it is as if it were a quiet area, an intermission before returning to the adjacent terror
YES
Excactly my thoughts. I love the melancholy of this track.
If the Police Station theme is the "calm before the storm", as I always saw it, this theme is definitely the "eye of the storm".
Wow, I didn't know so many people felt the same thing I feel when I listen to this particular soundtrack. I've always loved playing this game and I've always loved this soundtrack!!!
Look, even Chris Redfield likes this score! :-D (...and he has never been there!)

Im having a severe case of nostalgia. Its so bad I want to cry;(
Kevin Noneya isso pode indicar que você ainda está muito apegado ao seu passado, dentro dos limites é sadio, é normal relembrar os bons tempos porém, devemos nos esforçar para "criarmos novos tempos", tempos felizes e sadio. Significa que devemos viver o agora fazendo-o sempre melhor.
Still better than the remake
I think i'm the only one who think so
@@Iychoenk we are not the only 5 who think so! ( two of my friend are same)
One of my favorite themes in all of Resident Evil. This music and the abundance of ammo and health items told you that danger was ahead; get ready for a fight.
It's comforting yet you know that there's an underlying terror waiting for you around the corner.
Watching the moon with this song Is so relaxing
R.I.P PAUL HADDAD (Voice of Leon) died April 11th (one day after my birthday) 2020.
its really comforting, but also weird to see that this is many peoples favorite part of the game, as it is mine but I had no idea people thought this part was amazing as I did, until now..
Amazing memories from childhood. I was in secondary school when this was released. What a game.... Amazing memories, not as disposable as games these days.
absolutely magical. i could listen to this song forever
Arguably every gamer's most favorite part of RE2.
Still hands down my favorite track in Resident Evil History
"This is it...there is no turning back. It's now or never, but I know I can do it. I've killed zombies, dogs, lickers, solved a lot of puzzles, survived a bullet wound, fought the tyrant, so there is nothing I can't handle...I've come this far, it's time to move on and destroy umbrella." ***ALARM GOES OFF*** "Let the party begin!!!"
Miss the time when I was truly afraid of a game...the beatiful feeling of loss and anguish interrupted by short pauses of fictitious calm like this..with that bgm playing...never experienced anything like that in today's games..
When i hear this track it makes me feel just how exhausted the characters really are, the gravity of the situation in Raccoon finally settling in after the nightmarish, instinct-driven scramble through the police station and sewers
I feel so strangely calm but nervous inside when i am listening to it...remember that time 15 years ago...frighten as a child...that first time I came here to train...with red condition...didnt know what comes next...
Still staring on that moon...
Ondrej Trecha I love that moon.
I have to admit, this song is one of the songs I listen to when I need to clear my head. Also it brings me to a whole different world and keeps me away from all the bad things in life.
Gotta love these soundtracks.
One of my favorite tracks in Resident Evil 2.
Mines to.
Yep. This one had a very isolated feel to it.
Wow. Listening to this again really is very melancholy. I love the vibes this theme gives out. Still is creepy.
I keep hearing about Resi 1.5 and Resi 3.5. Would love a working build one day.
Fingers crossed. I got my hands on Star Fox 2. Maybe next some cancelled Mega Man and Resi games soon.
Claire: Sherry, I’m going to check on something, you stay here...
Sherry: Ok,... but hurry back
(Love Sherry’s response)
gives you the feeling that William ain't finished yet... you're safe but just for a little while.
I love this Theme, its like you are staring at the City Lights at the Top of a Building.
when you realize. the re 2 and 3 soundtrack is better than the new ones IMO.
This was always known smh
the new ones have a soundtrack??
Victor Chayks what i mean is, re4, 5 and 6 has no memorable soundtrack than re2 and 3. that's why.
KrozZ 230, Resident evil 4 has an great soundtrack. "Serenity" is my favorite one.
mitchell abbey oh really? i'm gonna check it out. 😆
This is my favorite song of this game. It makes me feel sad and at the same time alone. Thanks to this song I had nightmares when I was a kid.
For this reason RE2 is my favorite game of the series. It's so perfect
I know exactly what you is feeling.
Same here, this game give me so nightmares in childhood, but now, is my favorite game in the series
The peace and calm of a run down and abandoned building. The moon serves like a distant guide and reminder: there are reasons to hope and fight out there. Establishing a connection beyond the game world, too.
Apocalyptic, fear inducing soundtrack that is otherworldly. Making you feel alone. They don't make em like this anymore.
Probably my favorite piece from RE2. It's atmospheric and moody. I can see myself standing alone in the city of Racoon City hearing the moaning of the zombies in the background while this plays.
You can hear them in distance, it’s very faint... but they’re there, and there’s thousands of them.. the re2 remake is finally here!!
I still remember when I first heard this track. It was a cool October night and I had the window cracked open because it was too warm in my room. This music was perfect and chilled me to the bone.
This music is so beautiful it's like travelling to another world it gives you peace... we don't see this on modern games anymore...
Hands down this is the best soundtrack from RE2, it brings back so many precious, nostalgic memories of me trying to beat this as a kid. They better include this in the remake.
Beautiful days in this game when we were young to know hatred and our hearts were innocent😔
I must've completed this a trillion times. I remember when I first discovered this game as a very small child, and considered it a huge achievement getting to the gun shop as Leon. I knew where the door was, but was way too scared to venture out. Eventually I did, and every new milestone (Police station, basement, sewers, etc) was like a huge adventure which somehow consumed weeks at a time. Even now, nearly ten years after my disc broke, I could still run through that game in less than an hour, and perfectly mimic every single line spoken. I never unlocked the mini-games though, and I'll never know why.
I feel you, my expirience was a little different though. I became familiar first with the original one, which someone played as I watched it like a live Let's Play, along with titles like parasite eve I & II, Silent hill completely up to The Room, Dark Messiah and so on. I was myself too scared to play after I realised with 7 what a Licker actually is... :D kinda funny if you look back. But I have quite some fond memories of it cause of the good stories backing them up and not every genre and gameseries were kinda milked out. It was a time also of great new tec every now and then like ps1 to ps2 and stuff. As for the minigame, I recently bought a notebook and took RE2 with me as single game, where I actually looked up the how to and have gone for the Vickers one at the start^^ sry for the long text tho
The good ol' days, eh? Sadly, I have to be cliche and agree; they really don't make them like this anymore. They really focused on the game's storyline, and for that reason they became their own work of art. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, game developers realized you can make a LOT of money with little effort when it comes to games, and that's exactly what they started doing. But hey, atleast I can say I got to enjoy the good games; not the money-milking, explosion-filled soap operas they've now become.
yeah! You're right! games developers only think about making money and not developing good games =(
Terrible Tanner dude that's basically the same thing I did! We had a ps2 but no ps1 memory card. I first played this when I was 3 and beat in in around 2012 when I was 10
I'll never get tired of this
Original RE2 is top tier.
I actually find this quite relaxing in an ominous sort of way.
We all had it too good during PS1-PS2 days.
I like this song, it brings out a sense of eerieness but relaxation at the same time.
Resident Evil Soundtracks are untouchable. What a brilliant work.
I remember Sunday evenings spent unto night with the inventory menu up so I can hear this before school the next day. Kids these days don't know what hype is. . .
In my opinion, this is the best ost ever created, It feels a lot worth it, just love it
perfect music for a perfect game
I was so happy that Capcom included the option to let you replace the remade OST with the classic OST. This track being the biggest reason why since it’s my absolute favorite, and already I thought the remake was going to be one of the best games i would of played in a while, and it did not disappoint, not one bit. Putting on the classic OST really made it without a doubt, one of my favorite video games ever made. The fact that a 20 year old masterpiece OST could still fit perfectly with a brand new one, entirely made from the ground up remake based on a 20 year old game astounds me and I wish more remakes did this. Can’t wait for RE3 Nemesis, they definitely have to include the classic OST.
@Netto shopper this theme is on remake, just area being lil different
This is so 90's
The best period
Definitely and peaceful yet eerie sound. Of course when the strings come in, it's just awesome. Brings me back to the days when my sister and I were so excited all the time to play. Fantastic music to set he atmosphere of what's to happen, and yet to come...
This shit is HAUNTING if you step outside right now listening to it during the quarantine...
Quillz06, exactly! It’s like everyday your like, “Man, whats gonna happen tomorrow? What’s gonna happen beyond this point...” just like Leon and Ada were thinking
@@capttovgmc1500 Spot on. And that's why this was/will always be my favorite RE2 track.
Let me enjoy my nostalgic feelings...
remember this music with the sound of your steps when running over an immense and gloomy place
@@buyinterestingthings9558 I've just seen this comment and seriously, thank you.
I love how later on the Claire B scenario screenshots start showing, when it started off with Leon and Ada, makes this really epic.
Just imagine wandering around an abandoned train yard at 4:00 AM, zombie ravaged and run down, not knowing the next turn around the cars could be your last, but at least the music is eerily tranquil.
This area was awesome, the foreboding music really let you have the feel that the final lab area of the game was near.
Odd to think that without horror we would never get gems like this music and this game. I guess sometimes an evil thing like horror can produce a good thing.
This song brings back some strange feelings
I miss my past so much i have alot of anger issues i wish we could all live forever
You're not alone, my friend, I have the same difficulties too 🙏🕊
Something about this theme and the area, I always imagine when they step outside the Autumn night and a warm, gentle breeze blowing almost to break up the carnage of the night
Capcom better not shit on the remastered version of this theme.
Agree!, If they are not going to keep or make better the good things that make RE2 what it is, they should then leave it alone!
idk capcom loves to disappoint sometimes. I was enraged when the original soundtrack was not in the SF3 Third strike online edition.
They made a pretty good re1 remake though, but that was when capcom were still cool back in 2002 :)
KennethMoreland right this is my favorite soundtrack of all
Well, they decided to go non union with the voice acting route and so Alyson Court won't be returning to do Claire. If they don't fix that, chances are they'll screw up a lot on the remake.
Beautiful yet haunting.
You can either move forward to complete the last leg or go back to the hell you left behind.
Either way, you're still in the nightmare until you've reach the light at the end of the tunnel...
Love this game and its soundtrack!
ironically, I remember this part as being the absolute scariest in all of RE history even though nothing really happens. The music and the rather uneventful events of this very part chilled me to the bone.
Always loved this song; great mix of foreboding and mystery. Reminds me of the Prologue track from Big Trouble in Little China.
Um som frio,desolador e permeado com um mal silencioso que se esconde nas sombras dos personagens,uma das minhas trilhas sonoras favoritas deste jogo.
Re2 remake January 25, 2019!!!! Lets hope this amazing track stays in the remake
looks like the remake will not have so many music...
manolako They claim the Deluxe Edition will allow you to swap the new OST with the original which is awesome. And yes, very much hope this track makes it in the remake as well as the Factory theme!
it would be amazing this ! but are you sure? can you will choose in the middle of the party the music?
Man I was really hoping that everything would be like exactly the same on the remake of re2, just with amazing graphics and the re4 over the shoulder shooting style. Well I gotta admit I'm somewhat disappointed with the The teaser I saw. From what I remember The scene was in pitch black darkness Leon just had a flashlight and from what I could barely make out, the police station was almost basically unrecognizable except for one area I think. From what I remember and have heard it looks like the shooting style is gonna be what I was hoping for but that's about it. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. How amazing would it be though if they kept alot of the main music themes like the marshalling yard second half and the scary laboratory theme.
@@nicholaswilliams8470 The remake was one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had in the gaming world. Terrible remake and the RE3 remake is worse. Seriously fuck these millennial devs at Cashcom.
Such a beautiful acurate point of the game... It was exactly the point when it was not posible to come back to the comisary. Somehow it was a pivotal moment. And it was shared with this mysterious character..
Last year, i came home from work one night during a blizzard. It reminded me of this spooky track! The echoes and eerie music gives you the sense that it's dark and cold outside with no one to rescue you. We need Resident Evil 2 Remake ASAP!!
This theme reminds me as if though there is no more hope left, like as if all hope is lost.
I dont know why but i still playing this game just for remember my pass, i fell so nostalgyc.
This game got me through some pretty rough times. This is my favorite soundtrack from it. I first played it when I was 13 I will always love this game.
4:00 The background with the moon by hearing the music 😍
After I played RE2 on the N64 back in the day I never knew the soundtrack would have as big of an impact on me as it did. Throughout my life, I would randomly have this song pop in my head and just yearn for the chance to play it again on modern consoles... with the RE2 Remake soundtrack swap, I finally got the chance again. :D
I get chills just listening to this. I just beat this game with an A+ after a long time
Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to this, my brother died in a tragic accident a couple of years ago, and this song was playing in my dream, where me and my brother were walking down a road with lots of trees swaying in the background, and the sky was a blood orange colour, it was so vivid and will stick with me forever.
I can hear their clinking footsteps.
yeah
All in this game is amazing! I discovered it when I was 11 years old and still love it.
I'm playing this game for the first time in my life, and i just came to this part of the game, and i never felt so fucking relaxed man. Eerie and peaceful, just like the music of Half Life.
Awesome 😊
I freaking love this!! I am playing game again just so I can reach this level. It's really soothing to just sit there and stare at the tv. Love it!!
My favourite track in teh whole game and I like the pic it highlights the relationship between Leon and Ada
Well this just took me back 20 years. Goddamn
