Biohazard is the original Japanese title for Capcom's Resident Evil series, and Biohazard 2 was first released in 1998 before arriving on GameCube in 2003. Like the first game, it opens with a deep voice announcing the title, a simple presentation style common for arcade influenced games of the era. The clip circulated on soundboards because the isolated announcement is instantly recognisable to fans. It remains popular in retro gaming videos, where the serious delivery contrasts with modern edits and fan remakes.
About this sound
The deep announcer voice saying Biohazard 2 from the Resident Evil 2 title screen on GameCube, used for retro horror intros and meme video edits.
This is the dramatic title call from Biohazard 2, the Japanese name for Resident Evil 2, spoken in a deep, resonant male voice over silence. The delivery is slow and ominous, with the final number landing heavily to set a horror tone before gameplay begins. It instantly signals survival horror and late nineties gaming nostalgia. Viewers recognise it as an opening stamp of authority, which is why a four second clip still feels cinematic and works as a punchline when placed before something far less scary.
