Resident Evil 2 looks scary, but it’s sound that makes the game blood-curdling

DT writes: "I spoke with Resident Evil 2 audio director Kentaro Nakashima about the process of creating sounds for the remake. Nakashima’s insightful responses are sure to please longtime Resident Evil fans, as well as those curious about what goes into designing audio for video games."

There is a massive difference in the level of ambient 3D sound when I have my headphones on and when the sound output through the TV. Literally with headphones on it is a very different and terrifying experience.

-Foxtrot1930d ago

It's a shame because the original Resident Evil 2 sounds from the PS1 are even better and make the game feel more tense. I don't know why they didn't just update and remaster the original songs.

MONOLITHICIDE1930d ago

Fresh new experience to be had and probably to have you buy it.

DVAcme1930d ago

As classic as the old soundtrack is, it's a product of its time, and the new soundtrack is more appropriate to the new game. It's much more atmospheric and uses the different channels better to create mood. Not only that, the old tracks are much shorter, so they can become repetitive. The tense track that plays when the zombies break through the door in the shed under the balcony becomes annoying REAL fast.

nucky641930d ago

man, no sounds from the original re2 come close to those lady zombies screams from the remake.

-Foxtrot1929d ago

Well I’m playing it with the original soundtrack changeover and it sounds fantastic

ScootaKuH1929d ago

I know it's not 100% ideal but there is some DLC that reinstates the original audio (The music and menu sounds, not the zombies). I'm playing with the original audio on my second play through and it helps bring back some of those old memories 😎

-Foxtrot1929d ago

That’s what I’m talking about...the DLC OST

Would have liked all zombies to look different. The sounds and surroundings were excellent

DVAcme1930d ago

If you're using headphones, that THUMP THUMP THUMP of Mister X walking down the halls looking for you is MADDENING. In this game, he's scarier than Nemesis and even friggin' Pyramid Head. If they remake Nemesis to the leveo of this game, it'll be pants-pissingly terrifying, I really hope the rumors that they're working on that one are true.

nucky641930d ago

those shrieks the lady zombies make are wild. and if you don't see them and hear them scream - it's chilling!

im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal

Cacabunga3d ago

If what they are doing is that good, what’s the point of hiding the true story?

anast3d ago

She's a caricature of the shareholders.

PRIMORDUS3d ago

"Shareholders" I call them cancer, they are already rich to begin with but need more and more. It's like a disease, with no cure.

__y2jb2d ago

If you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder in these big tech companies yourself. To demonize them as 'heartless rich people' shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

anast2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Y2

Of course, it isn't about that. You are attempting to set up a self-righteous strawman to stir up some kind of ignorant mob mentality.

And by the way, most everyone is a touch heartless or we wouldn't be able to consume the products we do knowing very well how they are made. People have to be this way because of self-preservation and convenience.

__y2jb2d ago

@anast please explain to me how what i said is self righteous or a strawman. I simply pointed out that categorizing all shareholders as cancer is ridiculous.

Leeroyw3d ago

I own shares in game companies. I'm not anything near a major share holder. I just want them to make good games and be successful because of that. I think it's the senior management that's the problem. They are the ones that should be making it clear to the shareholders what creates growth and ensures a future of their business. Not this weasle words garbage that she did on the interview. It was horrific. I don't know a shareholder that would be happy with any of them for this.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Same and I'm not rich by any stretch like most people's I'm just trying to keep my head above water these days most company's shareholders are made up of everyday people it's amazing how companies think we want something but the reality is we don't.

Disney are probably the worse at the moment it's shareholders voted on ending a lot of the crap and outing the current execs the execs turned around and said no we disagree with the shareholder vote

PRIMORDUS3d ago

I meant at the rich fucks who have millions in the bank already. They are making so much per year, that if they don't make what they are expecting they go into a panic, when in reality it will not even hurt them at all. Those are greedy assholes.

anast2d ago

"you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder"

Pensioners don't make any decisions about anything. Obviously that is not what this is about.

CrimsonWing693d ago

Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.

Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.

She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.

One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.

TheGamingHounds3d ago

disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds

RoadRacer3d ago

imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
