The pulse-pounding synth bass that underlined the original makes an impressive return, but what this track seriously lacks is finding a consistent identity. “Raccoon City” is essentially a brand-new track with only minor hints to Ueda’s original composition of the same name. While the remake plays this out differently, it nonetheless remains a crucial moment and acts as a prelude to much bigger things. Veterans of the series will remember this as the starting point in the original game, when you finally assume control of your character and dodge through hordes of zombies to make your way to Kendo’s Gun Shop. Claire and Leon are separated following an explosion and agree to meet at the building that houses the Raccoon City Police Department (R.P.D.). Much like the original that came before it, this is a pivotal moment in this game as well. The next track we take a look at is “Raccoon City,” in which Masami Ueda is credited on this one as the composer with the arrangement being handled by Uchiyama. For a complete breakdown on who did exactly what, we encourage you to look at the VGMdb listing for this album. Overall, this soundtrack was a huge joint effort from many people and each provided their own interesting additions, though we’ll delve more into many of them below. Composer Mana Ogura did the music for No Time to Mourn with Robert Kendo, while Masahiro Ohki is credited with the music for The Forgotten Soldier. It’s later used for the ending credits in each of the scenarios.įor the DLC, Shusaku Uchiyama handled the music for the Runaway and No Way Out missions, along with a track featured at the end of every DLC when the result screen pulls up. You can hear this track playing in Leon’s jeep during his opening scene. Finally, a music title track called “Saudade” was written especially for this game by Cody Matthew Johnson and Shim, with the latter providing the vocals. Syotaro Nakayama and Taisuke Fujisawa did the music for the unlockable Tofu campaign, with Kentaro Nakashima creating the music for HUNK’s.
