This track is the crown jewel of RE2 that perfectly captures the heavy feeling of the moment. Peaceful yet macabre, this music perfectly depicts the feeling of the calm before the storm - leaving behind the monster infested sewers but before heading into the hellscape that originated the G-virus.
It’s too bad the RE2 remake didn’t live up to the hype, at least in my opinion. Sure, objectively it’s a good game but as a remake I honestly think it dropped the ball, especially in the scenario B. The REmake is still the definitive remake imo of a classic Resident Evil game.
I love looking up at the moon. Something so bright and alluring, yet so distant and cold. That's what it feels like; being on the moon, and a million miles from anywhere warm and safe.
It's been 25 years, but I still have a very vivid memory about this track and this moment in the game, when it played for the first time, in my first ever playthrough in 1998. I was 13 years old back then and not a very good gamer. Walking outside the shed after the sewers, this music starts, no enemies around..it felt liberating and the track calmed me down. i had used up alot of items, still remember leon standing there, holding his wounds as an indicator of charackter HP. seeing the city skyline in the background made me feel like: i've fled the epicenter of chaos and the next moment I thought about all the screams of people in the city, that were still there, thousends crying for help, crying in pain, yet iam to far away to hear any of it. the music transfered that too, at least to me. this feeling of: youre far away now, youre gone from the danger, yet the chaos is still raging on, the fires are still burning.. you can't hear the bang, it's just a whimper from here.. you can't help everyone, but you might find a way to help yourself or whats left of the city, if you press on and keep going. fleeing now seems feasible, just move out of the yard, finde a car and off you go, but should you? youre close to the source as it seems.. so this moment is eighter: the calm before the storm, the short break - or your way out. Thats the moment where my head turned left and i watched out of my window, seeing a slighty thin cloudy night and a full moon, shining at me. as if the sky from the game, was the same sky that was visibile thorugh my window. it's just one moment in game, a minute in total, in an old game with 60 polygons per charackter, but this moment, dug itself deeply into my being.. a memory, thats so vivid, clear and complete, that 25 years later, it feels like it i happend a week ago
Non torneranno mai più indietro quei videogiochi... Quelle musiche, quelle storie, quel mistero, quella voglia di saperne ancora di più che ti lasciavano! Avevano un anima! Ogni tanto torno indietro ad ascoltarla e ogni volta si risveglia in me una profonda nostalgia per quei capolavori straordinari come RE2 e RE3! Sono davvero fortunato ad essere cresciuto con loro e non con i videogiochi di oggi. 🥲
This is the track that puts Resident Evil 2 above the rest for me. It's just so hauntingly beautiful. In its own quiet, understated way, this game revels in the beauty of horror.
This piece is very ghastly, it's perfect for that part of the game, a reflection on the madness encountered so far and a build up to the secrets of the underground lab
@@hopoutattheafterparty6245 Just like how they got rid of the Clock Tower and Park in RE3make. At least the soundtrack is great, and hey, we still have the originals at least.
@@popemobile12 except in the RE3 remake they took away too much while in the RE2 remake most of the things from the original was kept at the very least.
I hear this Everytime it's a full moon. I'd seat on either the porch or the carport and watch the beautiful full moon rise behind the field across the road.
Every game with a lauded soundtrack has those tracks which largely go unnoticed by the majority in favour of a few select tracks which come to define the games overall. In Resident Evil 2, 'The Main Hall [of the police station], as worthy as it is, unfortunately overshadows some of the actually more substantive tracks, such as 'The Marshalling Yard'.
"Sherry, wait here. I'm gonna check this place out myself.""Ok, I'll wait here, but, hurry back!" "We've finally arrived. There must be something hidden here.."
i just shed a tear... I don't many games that have a soundtrack that can do this. I played the game when the remake came out and I found it ok-tier until I realized I had the option in the DELUXE edition someone offered me to enable the OG soundtracks. Honestly this game is awesome but the original OST takes it to an entire new level... really
Los Angeles, 1998... a starless night dome perpetuated by the glow of low pressure sodium vapor lamps creates an eerie backdrop as you ride in the back seat of your parents car, leaving the valley to return home. In your hand is a small plastic bag, with another plastic box inside. You lift up the box in the dimly lit car, the occasional passing streetlamp vaguely illuminating the cover art and title. RESIDENT EVIL 2. You are almost home and can't wait to play...
I've been coming back to this sound track a lot in the last few weeks. There really isn't anything like it out there, there is a real edge and desperation to the sounds and melodies. Truly amazing music for a 1998 Playstation one game. Guess they had to have something worth remarking about with the limited graphics options back then.
People tend to get creative when they have to act with limited resources, and this was no different, processing power was meh and rendering each room took a week, so they had to capitalize on the atmosphere and story.
@@DGP406 Nothing was seen as limited then, everything was relative to the times.. which was pretty mind-blowing actually.. They weren't going to work at something w/ any more or less vigor just because they had tech or not to fall back on. They all took pride in what they did and set out to do it the best they could.. results came from passion and talent, not lack of resources
@@DGP406 Very true. If you can’t wow with graphical fidelity (1998) or gameplay (1998 clunkiness) then you better come through and atmosphere and boy does this game deliver
@@DGP406 very well put that is why you’ll even see more creative art design in older games, compared to the new AAA titles. What the old games lacked in realism they made up with art design that is why now you’ll see games that look very realistic, but feel claustrophobic with a bunch of UI, super realistic settings that actually have no appeal and or not vibrant
I still very clearly playing this game back in the day on Satirday night This music would play, and I would look out of my bedroom window at the darkness outside illuminated by moonlight and briefly think about life
That theme. So epic. My first encounter against G-Birkin's offspring I ended in a blood bath, as I had little ammo and no health items. Those were the good days.
One of my favourite things about this piece is the notes that sound almost like alerts, as if the track was being switched and the droning that sounds like a train departing
This sound takes me to another time. Friday, I'm arriving from school to spend my weekend playing PSOne. I stop at 1:00 am to have some pizza and Coke, then I'm back to Raccoon City or Silent Hill.
oh yeah. i was back from School. watching xfiles from the jeudi soir on VHS. eating one or two crème catalane and playing Nevada tomb raider 3 zone with alien and f117
This theme hammers home that you've just witnessed hell on earth. Enjoy the nice quiet moonlit moment because you're about to experience evil that no human should ever see. This is truly "Resident Evil"
The Squaresoft and Capcom SNES-PS1 years are unparalleled. Not to say music nowadays aren't good, but here, it was doing more with less tech. It had to set the mood and make you think SFX were happening all within the track.
It's really good.I was worried about OtS camera but it works perfectly.There is like no reason to go back to the original they nailed it with the remake.And even the soundtrack is there.Hopefully Nemesis and Code Veronica will get remakes too
I love this track, its dark, creepy, and it tells you that you are near of the end of the nightmare, i loved this game, its perfect in any senses, even better than the remake, sadly capcom doesn't make games like this masterpiece anymore... Just, imagine an resident evil 2 remake made in the 2002-2003, whit the style of resident evil 1 and resident evil 0, freaking awesome
I hope this is one of the themes in the remake if you swap the soundtracks! my hype level is to much!!! can't wait for it, Hopefully they follow with Resident Evil 3 and Code Veronica, that's my gaming wish lol
Some parts of this theme sort of reminding me another Capcom game for the ps2, namely the main menu theme, and I've been feeling like that for years since I was a kid.. Maybe it's just me but I've been keeping it for myself for far too long lol
The real Question is: Did you prefer hearing this track play with Sherry and Claire standing under the moonlight, Or Ada and Leon standing under the moonlight side by side? We all did this at some point eh? With this memorabil tune playing on loop. Personally, i prefer Sherry and Claire together in this scene because if you stand close enough together, Sherry holds Claire's hand for comfort. Under the moonlight with this song playing. " Don't be afraid. the nightmare is almost over... "

Ah yeah back when video games were good where not only video game designers cared and were passionate about making a video game, but when musicians were passionate about making music and not just grabbing their pay cheque and go.

I remember letting this play while leon was staring at the night sky with a bright full moon, oh the memories.
This music encompasses the entire night in Raccoon City. All the hell you go through to get out of the RPD and the night is still not done with you…

The best theme in Resident Evil 2 and even better than Resident Evil 2 Remake's themes.
The pinnacle of Resident Evil
This is easily the best track in the game.

Best soundtrack of the game a moment of peace before the nightmare continues
0:35 that guitar emulating those typical train station/airport chimes is just sublime.

It's ridiculous, just how many iconic compositions were written between RE 1-3 alone
video games back then had some immersive soundtrack music, god this is creepy.
Yeah.
It's sad that now some of the games use less immersive soundtracks or don't add them entirely in many areas because reasons.
Fantástica!! Marcou muito minha adolescência!
ahhhhh child hood memories. sad to admit. i did not fall asleep till i knew sherry berkin was safe out of raccoon. this game holds a piece of my heart

Would like to see how the producer made this track, very interesting sounds totally atmospheric

So many classics released back to back FF6,7, and 9. RE1-3. Priceless
This marvelous song should have been kept in resident evil zero.
Damn the resident evil 2 remake is going to blow my mind!
Hope they won't screw up with it.If they make it over-the-shoulder shooter or first person, they will ruin our dreams

This whole part of the game is the best part. Music is a prequel to what’s coming which is one of the best bosses of resident evil
