This is of course after I ran out of my six bullets and the zombie was still totally fine and coming at me. The two demon dogs breaking through the windows earlier already had me rattled.
Facts, I ran out of the room screaming as a kid watching my brother’s play 😹

Pretty much the same. As soon as that dog jumps through the window I just noped out of that series until I was much older

I gave up after the dog jumped through the window

That moment scared the living hell out of me. Pretty sure I was in 6th grade hanging with my neighbor and he started played the game. I had such a strict rule growing up that I couldn’t play scary games at night because they scared me too much.

Rebuttal. This scene haunted my dreams for months as a kid, so much that it also was the tipping point of my dive into horror games. If it wasn’t for my uncle renting a ps1 and re1 I wouldn’t of loved horror as much as I do now.

Terrified me as a child. Now the voice acting terrifies me as an adult. “DON’T OPEN THAT DOOR!”

This fucked me up so bad as a kid, and is still a core memory.

I remember playing resident evil zero on the GameCube when I was much younger and my parents just so happen to go run errands on a rainy day. Moments after they left and deep into the game all of the power went out in our neighborhood 😂

I was in my 20s and still damn near shat myself when the dogs jumped through the window.

First tried to play that game when I was 14. It scared me so bad I didn’t play it again until a year later. 😅

Just finished playing the hd remaster, was fun.

The Japanese version had a head fall off

Me too. Dark basement at my dad’s house, all alone. Wasted that weekend rental

We were a family of Jehovah Witnesses at the time, and it was at this point we returned the rental back to Super Duper Video so we wouldn’t get demons in our house

What Resident Evil is the screenshot from? I feel like I should watch the VideoGameTheMovie of it.

It was around 1998 or so. I was 8 years old. My cousins came over and bought along their Ps1 over to my house. They had a game they were too scared to play, It was called Resident evil 2.
My parents had a party to go to so they ordered us pizza and my cousins and I watched my older brother boot up Resident evil 2. I was terrified but excited at the same time watching that intro. We spent the whole night crowded around the TV with the lights off and no other distractions like mobile phones, we watched my brother play while eating pizza and tried to chime in once in awhile to figure out the puzzles of the game. We didnt have the internet then so we all just trialed and error until we got it right.
What I would give to experience those warm summer weekends again.

Ive played only the remakes, but RE0 and RE2 both have the atmosphere i like

I crave getting scared at video games now a days. Resident Evil 7 rekindled that flame for me. First play through of RE7 in a pitch black room, big tv, I was feeling a little bit of the juices flowing.

Facts. My older cousin played RE1 on his Playstation at our house waaaaay back when I was in elementary school. That scene gave me nightmares and I couldn’t sleep for days.

The audio was amazing

To be fair, I saw Jurassic Park when it came out in theaters when I was 10. I cried so hard during the trex scene my entire family had to leave

I was in college and it was still terrifying. My roommates and I were playing it on a PlayStation, but we couldn’t afford a memory card because they were so expensive at the time. This meant that to finish the game, we had to play it entirely in a single play through. So, each death meant we had to start entirely from scratch. This made it even more terrifying – the horror of the game and the very real horror of having to begin from the beginning again.

I got my PlayStation on my 10th birthday. I got Gran Turismo 1 and 2 and Resident Evil. Dad tried to sell RE as like a shoot em up game. After watching the intro, and finding Kenneth’s body and THAT cutscene, the original with the head rolling on the floor, I was too scared to play it the rest of the summer. I love the first one so much lol. I’ve played through REmake a million times.
Man looking back, that was a great summer. I deep dived into Gran Turismo and discovered all the cars we never got in the US. Kickstarted my interest into Japanese cars and all forms of racing. Wouldn’t be who I am today without it.

The same thing happened to me with RE2, but I was 5 and didn’t know how to shoot, so I just stood there and watched Leon get torn apart by a horde of zombies

OP didn’t try opening the front door lol.

Itchy. Tasty.

The zombie in that cutscene has textures from a picture of an actual cadaver.

I just told this same story at work, about this exact scene, when I was the same age. My coworkers commented on how age-inappropriate the game was for me to have played at the time. They have no idea this was the tip of the iceberg of age-inappropriate things I watched and played when I was a kid at the dawn of the internet age.

That was me when I encountered The Flood when I was 7. But I went back later because I had to know if Master Chief would be okay
