Resident Evil 2 is Capcom's survival horror sequel following Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield through zombie-infested Raccoon City, and its GameCube version carried over the game's dramatic title presentation. The spoken title intro became a familiar cue for players who returned to the game on Nintendo's console, and short clips of it later circulated among retro gaming fans sharing memorable openings online. It remains in use because the brief announcement instantly signals classic survival horror, nostalgia for early 2000s console gaming, and the tension of the Resident Evil series.
About this sound
The deep title voice from Resident Evil 2 on GameCube, introducing the survival horror classic. Fans use it for retro gaming intros and horror edits.
This short clip captures the spoken title introduction heard when Resident Evil 2 starts on GameCube, a low, deliberate voice announcing the game over its dark opening presentation. The delivery is slow and ominous, with a weight that immediately signals danger, isolation and the survival horror waiting ahead. Even in just a few seconds, it sets a tense mood before any gameplay begins, making listeners expect zombies, locked corridors and scarce resources. For longtime players, the voice alone can bring back the feeling of booting up the game late at night and stepping into Raccoon City for the first time.
