The best thing about the classic RE environments is that they all feel lived in. Every single room tells a story, and you can genuinely imagine all the citizens of raccoon going about their day in these areas. They either feel cozy, or dangerous, but you can always piece together what went down there. It’s so cool.
Also I don’t know if you’ve talk about it but I really hope you do a live stream of the Tomb Raider remasters when they come out! I’m so excited and I know you’re a TR fan too!
My favorite room is in RE1, not so much in the original, but in the remake. It's the room on the second floor east side where you get the map. The way it has the bits of clothes and books scattered about...the comfy sofa, the nice big window. Then after you light the fire it just gets that much better and cozier. Definitely one of the best rooms in the series.
This is a ridiculous idea but this vid really made me want a video series going through every room in the original 3 games (including remake) analyzing the entire room and all the details. There’s just something about these backgrounds that are so cozy to me even tho they’re like zombie apocalypse 😹😹 very cozy vid
Huh never would of thought that. Reo train save room makes me fell comfortable
What's crazy is. Some of the mansion makes sense but 90% of the rpd doesn't make sense .. just look how many hallways/rooms you have to go thru just to get to jail cells... how does that work logistical
@@samuelp.coletrain4775 well there is the in-universe explanation that the RPD was originally a museum repurposed into a police precinct, and the jail is near the garage which is probably where the cop cars would enter the building with the incarcerated peeps for jailing, but I get what you mean. 😹😹 defs the museum thing in the lore was a means to explain that away
@@samuelp.coletrain4775RPD was a museum I believe and converted to a police station
@@Cncguru-wl9hn ya ya. But raccoon city gets bigger and bigger every year. You'd think they would position everything a little better or knock down walls or something. Used to be a museum according to lore but the city has tons and tons of better suited buildings now
In RE3 in the clock tower, theres a room with a mercenary and a girl. It looks like the mercenary was attempting to protect the girl and they both died. I like that room for lore reasons too
There’s a file for that bit.
@AidanMillward that is right, I actually thought I was misrembering that
My favorite room of the Resident Evil games:
RE1 - The Piano room
RE2 - Save Room of the RPD with a dark room behind
RE3 - Warehouse
Yes Warehouse! I don’t know why. It’s a beginning of the deadly journey and you feel like you don’t want to leave that place.
Not sure why but I’ve always really liked the outdoor balcony room in the original Resident Evil 1 where you find Forest. The music is so eerie and you can hear the wind blowing, and for some reason the perspective makes it look like you’re a lot higher than you really are because it looks like you’re overlooking raccoon forest.
My favourite room is the RPD lobby for sure.
It was one of the first times as a kid that I felt an atmosphere like that.
It wasn't trying to scare you, in fact it tried to make it feel safe with the music and lack of enemies. But it felt like you entered an actual building where chaos was right outside but for now... You are safe.
A respite that still feels slightly unnerving.
It's like when you're in a cabin during a thunderstorm. Just that tiny piece of shelter from the chaos outside is enough to feel cozy
While not a room, one of my favourite locations in all RE titles is the huge Billboard at the beginning of RE2 past the Basketball Court. Just that little segment between stairs is just filled with not just personality, but with 90's charm that I can't help but love.
Same! 90s charm for sure, Glad I'm not the only one who loves it
This is such a wholesome video. Your desire for our heroes to have a place to sit and recharge is adorable. Also just thinking about the lives that used the rooms prior to the game's events is so haunting.
The last room you've showed its where the US Delta Force fought and killed 3 tyrants by themselves but they were killed during the same fight. Its one badass room knowing the backstory.
Not Seals but Delta Force ✌️
@@Dolph84 thank you for the info, you're right, i got confused. A Team of Deltas was worth 3 tyrants, amazing.
Oh yes! it really captivated me as a kid. Always thought that room deserves its own cinematic.
Yeah they are elite soldiers manage to kill 3 Mr.X. They deserve a back story.
It wasn't three tyrants it was the other five out of the 6 that umbrella deployed.
All Mr X-type
Interesting fact, but if you notice the STARS office only has desks for the remaining surviving STARS members like Barry, Chris, Jill, and Rebecca, but not bravo team or their captain Enrico
Maybe BRAVO’s team had a separate office??
That makes sense though. They had time before RE2 started to clear out any extra desks in the room after the other members died. Brad not having a desk is a little weird though. He became a zombie a day or so before Leon and Claire arrive in the city, so I doubt they would've taken his desk out of the office in that little bit of time. I'm looking way too much into this aren't I. lol
@@aaronREfan I assume only the "investigators" had a desk in the first place (when all were alive). "Drivers" and other "support" don't need a desk/PC/chair. Also the room still had 9 chairs and alpha + bravo was only 12 people. And not all are working at the same time.
The fixed camera angles are so iconic and they give a lot of ambience to the old RE games.
My favorite rooms for each game are the following:
- RE1: Main Hall
- RE2: The Library and The RPD Hall
- RE3: The Park and The Clock Tower.
This is really chill to watch, makes me realise how easy it is so storm past everything in games, I feel like I'm definitely going to look at areas closer now! Definitely would like more of this!
I always thought Iron's office in RE2 was such a cool chill room with the big comfy chairs and the books and the big desk and of course the secret door. As a kid, I always thought that would be the best place to hide in the RPD. RE3 would be the starting warehouse because of the nostalgia and it looked like a cool hideout too. Great Video!
those “sexy ladies” 🙈 posters are so out of place for the spencer mansion, that your theory the staff had to have been there for months makes sense 😂❤
The Staff works in Mansion a long time before the outbreak and I don't think they go home every day, especially this research is secret. And places like a bar are perfect to have sexy girl posters and have drinks in your free time.
@@MarioSratss I may not remember correctly, but I'm pretty sure they were not allowed to leave under any circumstance. I think it was mentioned in a file at some point, but it's been so long that I don't know if my brain concocted that out of nothing.
@@furiousapplesack After the Outbreak they are not allowed to leave the mansion. I read something like that in the keepers diary. But no idea if they are more files in RE1 or in other RE games.
My favorite rooms in the Remake are the one were you put the plank over the fireplace to get the map in the second floor and the little office next to the crow gallery, the one with the open window.
The warm light makes you relax in the save room was a fave of mine too. The library was another fave. The main point of comfort was probably subconsciously the fact it had 2 doors , so I could escape through one or the other if a zombie broke in.
East storeroom in RE1 and REmake are def my favorite rooms in the series. In REmake it looks like it smells like a cozy garage, and in the original it just looks like an unused room in a church or something lmao
I love the room in Resident evil 1 remake where you can use the wooden mount for the fireplace to get the mansion 2th floor map thats such a cosy room!
But your choice of rooms is also good one!
The room where you use the lighter for the fireplace in the spencer mansion has to be one the coziest one for me, so relaxing!
RE1: I love the aqua ring, especially for the music.
RE2: Probably the area of the lab that has the 3 walkways and the ambient blue and red lights glowing in the middle.
RE3: The park you pointed out is for sure a fave, as is the clock tower in general.
On paper, one would think that a tour of someone’s favorite rooms in a video game would be dumb, but I love this. I over analyze every area I’m in in games too. And at night I’ll mentally put myself in cozy ones from Evil Within or Dying Light and fall asleep.
One of my all time favourite rooms is Kendo's in RE2 mainly for nostalgia reasons RE2 was the first horror game I ever played and I remember being absolutely terrified of the beginning reaching Kendo's was like a safe heaven (briefly) so even now after playing 100x I still reach Kendos and remember how I felt when I first played
I also have a fascination with the RPD, was great to see those environments rendered in the Outbreak series
RE1 I love the upstairs to the dining room. When i was a kid, my dad would always make jokes about the statue you have to push off the ledge hitting Barry and him yelling up at you. 25 years later and i still cant go into that room without thinking of him busting out some dad joke there 🤣
RE2 is the darkroom. I have always loved photography and i absolutely love developing film. Its what i wanted to do when i grew up...damn digital media 😅 Its the first time you hear that secure place save room theme, and that room has always put off the safest most chill vibe for me.
Nothing weird about the way you feel man it's the same for me in a lot of games. One always comes to mind, though, and there may be more in this masterpiece, but in re 4 (2005), it has to be the insignia room in the village square. Something about serenity and the typewriter presented on the table with the magical window that doesn't exist outside casting a soft, comforting glow blanketing the peaceful yet sorrowful safe haven is nostalgic to me. Every time I play my favorite game of all time, I pause in this room, feeling a soup of emotions, sadness, and nostalgia for sure.
It's crazy how one can relate to this. There are times that I also imagine to be in RE2 rooms in order to sleep!
For me, dark room is the best, and I think it's the first time you listen to this save room theme. This save room theme makes me feel safe. And also the combination of safety and darkness (good and evil?), gets me every time.
The Marshalling yard is also in my top 3 favorite places in RE2. This was a great video! I'd love another video expanding on this concept :) Good job!
Great video for old school RE fans❤ Favourite rooms;
Re1: The trap room with the gas and amour/knights.
RE2: the secret lab room (using passwords).
RE3: The basement in the street near the start when the zombies burst out
I thoroughly enjoy this video, can't get enough of RE1-3 more please! :) Thank you so much for making and sharing it.
I always liked that little Bar Jack in basement in Nemesis. It looked so cozy that, even though i played it as kid, it seemed like place where you can hang with buddies and hide for days from work and assholes. Even during zombie apocalypse.
ive always liked the press room, just feels like an odd place. plus the Mr. X jumpscare is amazing
Now THAT is a great topic to make more videos about. Analyzing rooms of classic RE games is the way to go!
My favourite room in the entire franchise is... a small industial pre-sewer hallway from RE2 where you push Ada up the ventilation hole, I guess. This small L-shaped room has no enemies and no puzzles, yet it perfectly encapsulates this eerie and comforting feeling of... well... RE2. As if you're not supposed to be here, but you are. As if it's not truly safe here... but it is. A dark gaping opening (not even a door...) into the sewer with spiders, yet for some reason they dare not follow you here. A dusty saveroom closet of a fearful forewarning. A dead end with 4 empty sockets for those very plugs you've been collecting for a while now. A growing feeling of concern it might become a place of no return... Yet, you go back, all the way back to the police station. Knowing that at some point you're bound to return here once more and leave behind everything you've grown accusomed to so far. In this very room you're at the crossroads. Wandering. Lost... It's a liminall space at it's finest, long before liminality became a big horror trend.
Going through the Stars Rooms and reading the Documents for the first time, expanding on Chris' Lore after the events of the first game....
I will never forget the way that moment of random and unnecessary Exploration made me feel, tying in the events of the first game into a game that up until that point felt WAY TOO disconnected from the first. It was actually genius placement on the part of the Writers and Developers.
I think videos going into great detail or trying to for individual rooms and what lore may be present would be really cool. While I personally would enjoy it for EVERY room, it probably wouldn't be feasible or reasonable for a content creator to do that so maybe rooms that have a significant amount of things going on in them, idk, great video BTW, can't wait for more ^_^
5:02 I'm usually not a big fan of prequels, but man it would be cool to see a short story or film about the final surviving employees bunkering up in this space and going into what they were experiencing
No man, you are not the only one...I too have favourite places throughout the RE franchise...
I love that first blue room in 1F of the mansion, the one with the blue statue. Vibes.
You touched on my favorite area of RE2, the Marshaling Yard. When I first played it, I wondered who broke in through the panel in the roof, damaging the barrels directly underneath. The upcoming boss fight answered my question real quick.
The save rooms have always been my favourites, the music makes them feel cosy and well, safe. As a kid I used think, I wouldn't mind staying in here until everything exploded.
What a great effing video. The map designers in Resident Evil games thought so much about so many small details. Ink Ribbon's unpacking these for us. So much I've noticed, but rarely stopped to explained to myself, he does that for us. Appreciated!
I love the pool table room in Re1, you can't tell if it's safe because of the bars or a prison. perfect ambience. My favorite room in RE2 was always the library. I just loved the music in there.
My favourite is probably the B4F culture room, the one where you have to register with both claire and leon on the computer where the big moth is to gain access.
While the moth room music is very nice, nothing beats the culture room, where alot of questions remains unanswered and mysteries just bloom, the feel of the room and the music in there is unique to anything else in the game.
Big fan!
My favorites that immediately come to mind are the first rooms you encounter the trapped Crimson Heads in REmake. I remember having to free him with the masks and it looking so gruesome in there.
Also in REmake, the hallway on the 2nd floor in the western area of the Mansion. It’s winding, but has a mirror that allows you to see a zombie around a corner before you run blindly into him. That was really cool
thats one thing that all the new resident evil games seem to lack and that's ambient sounds and music, and i always loved the save room in re2 with the cameras and the photo making bit.
Here is for me: RE1: sharks room, the water effects and shark animation was ahead of its time; RE2: that room in the final stage that you get extra ammo for machine gun, and the has its own creepy and memorable music, so detailed; RE3: final boss room, this room is the one the developer spent more time on it and its paid off!
The room with the dead soldier and girl in RE3 always made me think about them. That scene. The soldier protecting this little girl til the very end. Probably didn't knew her but died by her side. Gave me chills as a kid.
8:03 no place to sit down? Come on! The first thing that comes to my mind is my all time favorite room and that is 2nd floor Waiting Room ❤ This is where I heard that beautiful soothing music for the first time, had some relaxing time after all the horror, plus it has TWO sets of comfortable sofas there!
Anyway much props for your love with which you make your videos about my all time favorite game 🎮❤️
Other than those that have already been mentioned, my favorite room in RE2 is the Library. The music, the atmosphere, the mystery, the complete lack of enemies. It feels like there should be a LOT of lore there, with there being all those books and all. One of my biggest disappointment with the remake was how the library was just another room with zombies and mister X chasing you. If there ever was a time to switch gears from stressful chase to tense puzzling, this should've been it.
In RE3 it would be the time puzzle room with the weighted stones, for similar reasons. Maybe I just like puzzle rooms lol
Sometimes when I replay these for the thousand time, I just end up chillin in one room or another just to soak up the vibes.
thats so cozy and fun i always do it too
I used to imagine going to the shotgun trap room in RE 1 remake, taking the door to the room off it's hinges, triggering the ceiling drop, and then sleeping on the couch, totally confident that no monster could get to me on the other side of tons of concrete.
There's something so soothing on the cabin with a billiard in the first ps1 game. i remember when i got there i didn't felt scared but relax. i don't know why. in fact i love every rooms in RE1 because how lit almost all it's rooms
A lot of your favourite rooms are mine also . The room with the bunk beds and desert eagle is my favourite in RE2. I loved the outdoor area behind the police station in original RE2 past were the helicopter crashes. I also love the room off the library in the original where you can see the helipad.
My fav room of all time are in original resident evil 2 and thats the save rooms, because of the beautiful save room music, its relaxing n gives off a desperate, worrying feeling, like "im safe for now.. but i still have to get outta here alive.. whats still out there..?" The best !!
RE1: Room in the blue hallway that has keeper's diary and the shark room in the remake.
RE2: RPD Lobby / Main Hall, Tram Area & the room above the lava pit that you only visit in the B scenario.
RE3: Clocktower the room at the very top where you use the gear at, the park, the containment room where you fight Nemesis for the second to last time & final Nemesis room.
I also walk around RE2 when I can't sleep. Was ecstatic when the remake came out to see the RC lab. Before that, the closest we got was RE0 and outbreak. It was a loooooooooong wait but worth it. Though I wish they had kept more of the original design from '98.
My favorite places are the save rooms. Just that luxury of taking deep breaths, reload/heal, and chill with the soothing music ❤
the watchmans room that made your list is one of my favs in the whole series. idk why but i remember playing re2 as a kid and that place just felt.... good. (minus the cop with his throat torn out lolol)
You're definitely not the only one who appreciates these things! The room with the moose head light up eye is up there for me. And the little room with the 'some tigers have a blue eye and a red eye ' statue. And the little courtyard with the killer vines in the fountain. Love all the outdoor sections in the original game with the wind blowing and dogs howling in the distance. Ugh such nostalgia. I love the raccoon police station building as a whole. Love the fact that it's a converted art museum. Chief Irons taxidermy room is so creepy. And of course any room with the save theme playing makes you want to linger and explore. Rooms in outbreak would be great to cover next! The attention to detail in both files is so impressive. Even the most mundane rooms and backdrops look beautiful with all the little touches and moody lighting. Just gorgeous.
RE1 : Main Hall, Birth/Death room, Lab
RE2 : Main Hall, Briefing Room, Specimen Room (fingerprint locked room) Birken Dog room.
RE3 - 3 clock puzzle room, Mayor Warren garden and yes that Final Battle is AWESOME!
Your channel has to be one my favorites. Love to relax with RE-content
It's not technically a room (or at all, lol) but the villiage portion of RE4 has some of the most incredible vibes in any video game I've played. It has such a unique environment that reminds me somewhat of a more rural silent hill, with all of the valleys and farms, it's awesome. I especially love the first farm where you find the blue medallions for the first time, and the canyon with the huge sky lift (which I wish we spent more time at!). I wish the village portion of RE4 was like twice as long, as much as I love it, I think it could have been way more dense.
Ya, the tram is one of my favorites as well. Any yes, it's probably because the track is dope! I shouldn't even say probably. I love that song!! That, whole transition from the RPD to the lab is amazing. It's one of my favorite moments in the franchise. It's almost motivating. I also like the library, and pretty much the whole lab basement. Particularly where you get the magnum parts. I love the auto door and then just capping some helpless zombies with your new totally op weapon!
I like the bee/lure room. It's just a cool room as is, then add the suspicion of the tampered documents to add a little mystery. I really like the crow room with the painting puzzle. Especially when you solve and the music hits! You just accomplished something towards progressing, but the music just makes you feel so uneasy at the same time. That is another dope RE track! I also like the room, in the remake I'm pretty sure it's the Spencer key room. In the original it's the first one you can open after you get the last key from plant 42.
I'm not super familiar with 3 the original version. I did finally obtain it a few years ago but only played it once. Did play it a couple times 20 years ago, but never since then. Probably the clock, but I'm actually having trouble visualizing it. The only thing I can really picture is the mayor statue for some reason. Should probably play it again I suppose.
Idk if this is off topic, because its not necessarily a specific room, but I always love accidentally discovering a room where you can shoot the camera. I can't remember them all, but one I recently discovered is the hall in RE1 where the dogs jump through the window. I think the heart key shutter window hall is another one I recently discovered, but I might be misremembering that one. pretty sure the cave is another. Idk, guessing some geek has em all logged somewhere, but then I lose my sense of adventure when I come across another one after all these years!
How about a room I hate! Maybe an areal. I remember being an idiot kid getting stuck at the sewer and just running around hopelessly lost not knowing what to do. Especially the spot where you boost Ada. I still cringe when I enter there. We didn't have the internet back then kids! Well at least I didn't. What little access I had was spent on watching WWF!
Great video, I love all the quirky explanations.
My favorite bit - "like I'm not supposed to be here, it's illegal." Lmao sir, this is the apocalypse. **Everyone is dead** love it
You're not alone! One of my favorites has always been the watchman's room in the RPD. The domed ceiling and singular lit chandelier had always given me such an 'I'm safe here' feeling, even with the dead officer in the sleeping area!
That and the culture room that requires the thumbprints because A.) as a kid I never got into that room so it still feels new and weird to me and B.) the music for that room absolutely slaps.
my fav room from RE2 is probably the dark room, besides it being a safe room I find its location to be weirdly 'cozy' (kinda nicely tucked in under the stairs), most importantly it's a corner room which means it has only one entrance which means I can camp there with my RPG for eternity.
The three of the Resident Evil games always deliver some of the best looking environments, and each and every room we vist shows a lot of personality. Despite the horrors you have to go through. These rooms always gives you such relaxation, and we gotta need one to get through with the anxiety.
Really cool video. Definitely a lot of cool rooms in RE. Glad you talked about the last room with the dead mercenaries and Mr. Xs. There’s so much story and lore packed into this room it’s crazy. I remember seeing this room for the first time and thinking “WTF happened here?”. Would be cool to see a cut scene showing it all go down. As for the rail gun being there randomly I can only think that maybe this is just where they were first building it? Not sure. Either way, dope video as always!
RE1 Remake.. always a pleasure remembering perfection
Good video...many places has such a interesting feeling, that you can't explain, but it holds you in heart. Maybe it's a melancholy of youth when we used to play.
My tops are:
Re1remake - the control room of the water ring (and that impersonal voice of the control talking to you)
Re2 - the main hall (mainly the soundtrack of it) and marshaling yard (that full moon above the train speaks volumes plus the ost)
Re3 - chapel of the clock tower and the park in the rain...no music...just the pure atmosphere
I absolutely love every video you put out. I can literally never guess what your releasing next, but it always feels super nostalgic, entertaining, and relaxing.
If you want a more realistic take on zombies, Project Zomboid can be super immersive if you add a little RP to the game. They even calculate how many calories you burn, and you can eventually die if you don't consume enough.
Kai: This room might potencially kill you but its cute
Mt favourite room in REmake is where you get the second floor map. It just looks cozy and I always qant to take a nap on the couch on the corner.
My favorite was marvin's office and i like the clock tower chapel and the dining room
I loved your video. Resident Evil 3 had so many rooms that I liked. That game was iconic.
Wait wait wait...
Why do i recall a big wall sized mirror and cupboard for the Original Costume room!?
Directors cut?
Also, i agree with your RE3 MrX room. That room revealed so much backstory.
The door you see at the end of the corridor at 1:19 is where the giant mirror is
@@RedHotChinaman After 28 years my memory is a little rusty.
Jesus Christ... RE was released 28 years ago... i never even thought of that...
@@babalonkie same here, and this is why we watch videos like this to just relive/revisit these awesome moments and places in OG REs. I just wanna feel that teenage me again. 😄
I loved this video. My favorite room from Re2 is also the waiting room. I'm not sure why, but I've always loved it since the first Re2 Demo. One room I would add is from the REmake. I've always loved the fireplace room on the second floor where you burn the map. I always hang out in that room for a couple minutes because it seems so cozy with the fire lit. Plus, it's just really nice and has a lot of herbs. haha.
The room in RE3 with the UBCS soldier protecting the girl is one of mine. 😢
Thats where the Goddess puzzle is
You seem to like the spaces that give us a glimpse into life before the outbreak! The rooms that show utility.
I also think a lot about what Racoon life was like.
Great video!
In higher class cafes and restaurants, we have the little tray here in Australia, basically it's comes out with a summary of your order, then you leave your cash or credit card on it with the summary, the waiter will take it back and process the transaction, and come back with your receipt, change if you paid cash, and dark mint chocolates in the tray. It's exceptionally common in Chinese restaurants
loved this! I'll do 1 fave location from each game and why. RE1 Remake the forest/Courtyard area, the crickets chirping and the subtle breeze reminds me a summer night with the window open...RE2 the East Wing Corridor just had a straight 90s feel with the tile floor, phone booths, and vending machine, sort of has a mall feel to me... Than RE3 i'd have to say the street outside the RPD, seeing it the first time realizing your about to revisit this place where so much trauma occured.
Re1 has the room across from the Bird Painting Hall where you get the Magnum/MO Disc. And the library type room where you overlook the Heliport and I believe get another MO Disc.
RE2 has the Stars Office. I also like the Train area that is shared with RE0. I also like Brians office and Back Hall. And any area in the RPD or lab without enemies.
RE3 is full of little cozy places and rooms Thru out the city. I honestly cant choose. But if I had too, that burning office you gotta jump out the window of when Nemesis is coming up the stairs. Or the Diner. Or the Opening warehouse room and its Save Room.
Every Single Save Room.
Also your first pick from Re1, dressing room, you said was relaxing but Im pretty sure it has zombies and A Hunter in it at one point lol.
I also love the tram, on that open port
I'm most familiar with the original RE1. I used to have lucid dreams about walking around it cleared of monsters.
In the OG RE3 the “Rail Gun” is actually called “The Sword of Paracelsus” which is suppose to be a prototype the US Army had. It was a tag along item for US Delta Force to use as an “Anti G weapon” in there mission to infiltrate the nest and retrieve Birkin and the G Virus… 20:53
I love playing The Moonlight Sonata in the piano room in RE:1.
1-Official residence, Alfred's office save room Cod veronica
2-Darkroom save room. Re2
3-Park key save room. Re3
I get where you're coming from, bud. I mean... I think. For a long time, I've had something akin to synesthesia for game environments. It's almost tactile in effect, and I can really feel the vibes deeply. There's been many times where I end up somewhere and just don't move at all for five minutes while staring at the screen, taking in the vibe. RE, some spots in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (especially the cenote), Dying Light/Dead Island, the updated Telltale Walking Dead games and many others. I figured that feeling would be exponentially increased with chemical assistance so I started to occasionally incorporate a "fungal" state of mind into it and I was blown away. Especially in horror games. Doubly so in RE: Village and Metro: Exodus. That ish was life-changing.
The bus in re2 always makes me feel things in my soul.
One room that's always stuck with me has been the lab-looking area in the Aqua Ring where you drain all of the place's water.
The glow of the green lights around the room, the soft hum of nearby tech... I love it. It's very soothing.
Great video, subscribed. I like isolated places that are outdoors so you could observe what happens etc but are still protected by elevation and walls etc. Examples would be the outdoor area/balcony next to Irons office in RE2R and the emergency stairwell area in RE2 (remake ruined the coziness factor by adding a gate + making it feel a bit more closed in within the station). I also like the emergency stairwell in the beginning of RE3 where you have to climb the pallets to reach it, making it more safe.
I like how you talk about the ambiance of these locations. In cinema & photography, the placement of a camera is vitally important as to how a scene is perceived. The use of a camera can strongly add to the atmosphere & ambiance, as well as having a psychological impact on the viewer. A good example of this is when there are camera angles outside of a window looking in as you walk past. This suggests you are being watched, which adds to the dread & unsettling feel.
Todays fans that hate the old games are entitled to have their preference, but to completely dismiss the older games due to the fixed angles is just ignorance. With todays games being all 1st or 3rd person, it runs the risks of things becoming generic & all the same. It requires more use of lazy jump scares to try to be scary, rather than atmospheric & psychological manipulation that fixed cinematic style cameras can provide.
I'm not saying the current games are crap because they are 1st or 3rd person, but there is a quality of atmosphere & tension that the old games had that the new games lack.
I like the Piano room. Love the moonlight sonata.
You should do a video on the code Veronica rooms 😊
Really liked this video. Would love to see your favorite environments from other games. The “warm light” room is my fav from re1 remake. My favorite from og re1 was the painting room when it used to have moon light sonata as its ambiance music. I love nerding on re so keep making videos! 😊🤘❤️
This was very cool! I absolutely love all the details in each game. Being able to slow down and just examine everything is fascinating!
I think every foyers in every resident evil mansions/castles are my favorite (except re7) it's just always a nice area to stay in, and they're like "the beginning of everything", very iconic.
My favorite rooms/areas in the first 3 games:
RE1R: Spencer’s little office in the mansion. It seems so cozy in there with the window open and the little lamp that lights up the area around the desk.
RE2: The main hall
RE3: The Boutique, as well as the Arcade Shops alley way between the restaurant and newspaper office.
Completely forgot about Spencer's office but this is an excellent choice!
Yeah Ink Ribbon I wanna hear more. I agee with every room in re1 but I add a room thats above the safe room that you chose, its the one that has 2 doors in it, one goes to a bedroom and the other in the remake gives you the crest to give the magnum, I also add the bedroom I mentioned before. In 2 I agree with the waiting room and the one you showed with the magnum, but I remove the othee rooms you showed. In 3 I agree with the room with the rail cannon and the park, but I love the warehouse and the alley's leading up to the RPD that you go to after the warehouse.
My favourite room in the RE1 Remake is the room with the fireplace you need to light to get a map. There's nothing more soothing than a crackling warm fire inside while thunder booms outside
The tram elevator, aka The Marshalling Yard part 2. I know the feeling you're talking about, but not so much the "no supervision" part but the feeling of isolation of being away from the current monstrosities roaming the city.
Think of the ambiance of the RPD early in the game: that outdoor stairwell by the East Office, you hear wind, crows, the continual moans of zombies, but no people or the hum of the city bustling, its an unsettling background noise of a city completely collapsed.
Once you get to the transport elevator, its now just silence and darkness as you can see the shadow of the chemical plant in the background, the moon highlighted in the sky.
Its in that moment, after traversing the RPD, the sewers, the underground tram and the hallways you finally see sky; a brief moment of respite, but the realization finally dawns on you how alone you truly are, how far away you are from everything going on, away from the disaster while still going into the center of it all.
I, as a kid, have felt this isolation where Id visit my cousin and hang w hik for the day, and as it got to be dark, we'd hang in this open area sitting room, this standing lamp w five lights softly illuminating the room, andnfrom the bay window, you see the street, dark, quiet and still, but in the distance you see the bright lights of Main Street of the city. Its so close yet its so far away, the quiet in the room seemingly muliplies how alone you feel from it. It gives you a truly uneasy sense of calm.
The bedrooms in the private residence mansion, in Code Veronica 🤌🏽🤌🏽
