Resident Evil, released in Japan as Biohazard, began in 1996 as a landmark survival horror game, and its GameCube remake in 2002 rebuilt the original mansion story with new visuals and sound. The title screen introduction became one of its most recognisable audio signatures, instantly associated with the series for players who grew up with that version. As gameplay clips and soundboards spread online, fans began reusing the short intro outside the game, and it has remained popular for horror-themed edits, streams and retrospectives that want an authentic, old-school Resident Evil opening.
