My mother would watch me play this and others. Single parent that took care of me and my siblings. She died of leukemia this year after fighting it for years. What a wonderful person.
+bddbjrsexy Playing this as an import "Bio hazard" on the PS1 many years ago was one of those moments where you just thought wow, because to me back then this was a new genre (I never played alone in the dark on pc). Its those kind of moments that have become very rare over the years now as nothing really ground breaking comes out these days.
What was always so creepy for me in the first Resident Evil, was that you had no clue what was going on. You enter a mansion with monstrosities and try to survive the night.
@@redberrey3754 I hadn't until a little over a year ago and it's one of my favorite games now. And I'm still trying to get new people to play it so I can watch and experience it again
I just love how the song makes you feel safe when you first hear it, while also having that foreboding nature about it, as if it's saying, "Don't forget what horrors await you out there," and that while you're safe for now, you're gonna have to get your wits about you before leaving. I can't imagine what people felt like when this came out on shelves, and they went home, popped it in their console, and got to the first save room.
Very nostalgic. I really can't explain, how bad i miss old RE games (1,2,3 Code Veronica, Outbreak). I like RE 4,5,6 and Revelations but.... this is not survival horror games anymore. There is no more such deep atmosphere, no feel of despair, hopeless and scare. Listening this music always bring me back memories from long past childhood, when i and my older brother play in RE on Christmas holidays. Soft snow came behind the window, our kitten peacefully sleep on the sofa, our mother cook something delicious on the kitchen and smell carried around all house. Precious memories, that stays with me forever. Thank you Capcom, for making such wonderful game. Thank you, wickedslicks1003 for upload this beautiful extended version.
Yeah, this feel of horror is gone a long time ago , not only on the Resident Evil , in others games like Silent Hill is gone too. I give up to see a game with this feel again...
Natan2142 I think Dead Space was a blink of light for this genre. I love it very much and its the first game in old school style and the differences between DS 1 and 2 reminds so much of RE 1 and 2 that I really admire it! DS 1 and 2 show me what RE should be like these days. Even the last Silent Hill was one or two steps toward the right thing. There is still hope. At least a bit.... :)
Getrefreshed Yeah , Maybe you´re right ,others game can be horror with a next gen, but in my opnion Resident Evil is hopeless, hardly will become a Horror game again...
The one and only, true classic. When I hear it, I always think of the first save room in the mansion, underneath the stairs, with the flickering lantern. Eery yet soothing atmosphere that could never be copied again.
Yeah coming down those stairs meant dodging those 3 puking zombies at the top, and of course the one at the bottom, and the other at the end of the hall. I think...
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 directors cut is total garbage, its the version where they changed all the music and replaced it with hilarious nonsense right? Remake is the best version obviously.
ill never forget the first time i made it into that save room! i was on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding stoned out of my mind !! i definitely was mesmerized and didnt wanna leave the room !! those were the days
I think i know the answer, the original Tells you that you are safe but you are still around in danger and in any moment you have to go outside. The remake make you fell safe always in any room
Anyone else still listen to this? God it reminds me of such a good time during my childhood. Countless hours spent playing this game.. it truly tugs on my heart strings
A game way ahead of its time. Only Resident Evil can have a horrific theme throughout the game, near death experiences at every turn, or death experiences depending on how you were at this game and then 1 room where the music is tranquil and calm.
I think this song fits perfectly with the save room. It's both soothing and atmospheric. It gives you the feeling that your in a safe haven where no harm can come to you, but it also reminds you that there are more horrors to face ahead of you
Creepy was the rest of the soundtrack, this was actually where you could stop wandering around and take a break. There was no internet so we could walk and walk for hours to figure out what to do, so this felt like a true relief moment.
I remember playing this game when I was very young. Up until recently I forgot how much of a profound impact this game had on my interests and tastes. Hearing this theme again after so long actually got tears welling up in my eyes. I love Resident Evil, it's genuinely changed my life.
This theme always give me shivers, because, it's so calm and tense at the same time, that it recalls me the slowly putrefaction of the living dead that surrounds the lonely room where the music plays. When I entered in the "safe" room, I felt like I was in the middle of a rotten, dark but fascinating garden of madness and death. Resident Evil 1 had a special magic...
Yup, its very eerie, scary and calming sound at the same time. Perfect Horror music I'd say. I remember playing it for the first time, not knowing why there's Zombies and monsters everywhere trying to attack me. Good times
Games I loved as a kid,were scared of as a kid and beaten as a kid. Clock Tower (PS1) Resident Evil to Resident Evil Code:Veronica X Dino Crisis Silent Hill 1 & 2
I was born January 2000 but a few years ago the neighbors across the street gave me their children's old playstation 1 with a bunch of games - and I'm having such a blast playing these old games. I grew up playing call of duty world at war and modern warfare 2... but the simplicity of the ps1 games makes them very fun - great soundtracks and everything.
after years I still listen to this soundtrack .. I would play only for the rescue soundtrack, I think it is one of the most beautiful in the game .. it is so relaxing and hypnotic and above all it helps to relax you after so much tension .. when I was little I was looking for the room of the rescue to hear this wonderful melody 💓..in 2021 Resident evil is still so relevant
@@Sacciuiguai I often think that concept of immortality is totally a curse. Knowing what we feel like when we go on a memory lane few years past and how it is biased in most cases. We have that thing that we glorify the past and we delete uncomfortable stuff from it. Imagine after living 1000 years. It would be total madness and depression. Even if you had buddies and there were millions of them, you would still know them all with enough time and would still see everything is just the same shit. Horrible.
omg i have been looking for this track for like 23 years. damn, i remember i was feeling creeped out by the game and this was a nice little getaway from the stress. my brother came into the room and commented on how morose the music was.
this theme is just perfect.. cant imagine when you enter a horrible night like they have and you just finally get to sit down for the first time after losing your teammates and friends and just take a deep breath before having to go out and face the horror once again. This theme embodys that element perfectly.
i produce music and ill tell you, most of my music is HEAVILY influenced by video games. video game composer dont get noooooo credit at all and really should be recognized at big award shows similar to the grammys if NOT the grammys. so many categories dont even get televised so its possible
remember having the TV with the long back side and the yellow , white and red cables you plugged in the TV? pepperidge farm remembers. lol these were the days
I finally got round to fully playing this game when lockdown started in March 23rd 2020. When I got to the safe rooms, it made me feel like I was in my flat all safe and sound but knowing full well that there is danger out there once I step outside. I really hope your all safe and sound out there in the world!
Fear can’t kill you but… I agree with you. Right now. I’m in an extremely high stress part of my life, which, when I played this as a kid, was also the case. It reminds me of that same feeling. Finding all of the journals. Seeing the stories of people slowly going insane, and the characters in the main story under immense pressure, and relating
@@Atlasowl awww thanks for sharing your thoughts man. its always nice to hear someone else's perspective. my family mainly played on RE2 for the N64, but we got a ps1 years after to finally play this game. but yeah i completed this game in that spring almost 3 years and it was nice to finally complete it. the music really does hit all the right points. hope youve gotten through your streesful situation man :)
I was born in the early 2000s, I did not grow up with Resident Evil, unfortunately. I stumbled upon this theme a bit ago and I am absololutely hypnotized, I envy those that have had the chance to grow up with what seemingly seems to be an absolute masterpiece that is Resident Evil. Videogames are just not what they used to be anymore...
First ps1 game I played. My cousin had rented it. Such an experience as I hadn’t even played a 3D rendered game to that point. I was completely immersed and it remains my favorite game of all time. This save room theme here brings back such fond memories. The people at Capcom are legendary.
A hora em que o coração começava a bater mais devagar e os jogadores podiam relaxar e organizar seus inventarios e programar o proximo passo,essa musica traduzia exatamente isso...infelizmente muitas pessoas criticam a face atual da serie,o rumo em que a serie tomou,de fato os zumbis,cerberus,corvos e tantos outros inimigos davam um charme especial para a historia mas pouquissimas pessoas sabem que a intenção do criador nao era colocar zumbis como antangonistas no definitivo,eles foram consequencias de experiencias com um super virus que ao longo da evolução do enredo foi se desenvolvendo e criando os inimigos que conhecemos nos jogos atuais,ou seja o que a corporação umbrella desejava desde os primordios da criação do t virus,o que vemos hj é algo que a antiga umbrella nao conseguiu desenvolver,armas biologicas mortiferas e com mais eficiencia,apenas isso,essa era a intenção,claro sem desmerecer os antigos jogos e os inimigos classicos...
i hate how all the games these days need a freakin orchestra for all the themes, i would LOVE these simplified atmospheric more than anything needlessly complicated
Listening this music only reminds when I was little girl and I was watching my dad or my cousins playing this game in PlayStation, I never got play this game because I had scared with first zombie hahahaha
This music genuinely helps me concentrate whilst working on spreadsheets. I think its the old memory of diving into this room on minimal health and hearing this music knowing you have time to stop and think and also hope to hell there is a green herb in here somewhere :-) Good times
Beauty of the eerie vibe in this soundtrack is so beautiful that it kills me... never played the game but this safe room theme is just ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My alarm tone since 4 years
suprised people dont talk about how amazing the artwork on the cover is to me it fits the music so well both artists are so talented and both are really great at making you curious yet creeped out
I still have a perfect memory from my childhood, certainly around 20 years ago when I was but a young teenager, sat in my room, playing this game during a dark autumn evening. This theme was playing. Moon was shining straight into my room through a window, partially covered by leafless trees waving in the wind. I wasn't playing the game. Just staring at the TV screen and all I heard was this music and thoughts went through my head about my vastly distant and unknown future, and sometimes I feel like I created that moment specifically to connect to my future self through memory. Like what I'm doing right now. So... thanks, kid. I appreciate it :)
I don't know what I would give to go back to those long gone days to experience that videogames era once again. Great times back then when I was a kid not worrying about anything but to have fun playing everyday. Nostalgia eats you alive faster than a zombie...
Remember playing Resi Evil 1 back in like 96? I was around 8/9 years old, used to love finding the save rooms to listen to this music and chill for a while before continuing shooting Zombies, lol.
Reminds me of hot summer nights in 1997, headed into sophomore year,sitting on the floor, scared in my dark house playing this with my friend. Safe for a second…lol RE1 is forever a classic. Changed gaming for me.
Not really messed up. Cover half his face with part of your finger and look at the exposed part of the face. It's quite accurate in anatomy expressions drawing
It instantly takes me back to those foggy Saturday nights in 1998 when we didn't sleep and just played through the night. Nothing compares. Sadly it all ended forever after RE3. The gloomy and cold soundtrack really make this melody even more magical.
I’m actually playing the Ps1 director’s cut game late at night right now. I couldn’t help but notice how peaceful this theme is.It literally puts my soul to peace.I love it.
OG soundtrack is the absolute best. I love everything about the original RE but I think it's the soundtrack that does it for me. Such a brilliant game, my personal GOAT.
ah the save room, a brief respite from the nightmares that lurk outside. giving you a chance to get your bearings back and calm down before you must once again dive back into the nightmare
the background scenarios (like the helipead you see through the window when you are inside the secret room located in the library) give more inmersion to the game in my opinion. Thinking about the fact that we are totally isolated even if a city is not so far there increases the tension too.
É incrível como esse tema passa a sensação de " estou seguro " e ao mesmo tempo " tenho que me cuidar " E o mais legal é ler os comentários e ver que todo mundo sente algo semelhante. Resident evil é uma obra de arte em gameplay e trilha sonora
This music... Takes me back to being 12 years old playing the game in the dark late on a hot summer night with my bedroom windows open. Would have been August 1996 :)
Most of us heard this song while we were younger, playing RE1 for the very first time. How little did we understand back then, that we would be listening to this very same song and thinking back to that first moment, decades later, when we are old and wrinkly.
