Resident Evil HD: 10 Iconic Moments You Need To Revisit

2. Dog Meets Window

http://youtu.be/mQjqiqprwA0 You know they're going to come through the window, you know when it's going to happen and you know that you can handle the situation, yet it still makes you mentally brace yourself every time you enter that hallway. Every. Single. Time. The first encounter with the Cerberus dogs in Resident Evil is an event that everyone tries to put off for as long as possible. Your first run through the offending hallway is free - you know that those windows won't splinter into thousands of pieces when you run past them - but every entry after that is a gamble. The bizarre fact is, the scene isn't even scary anymore, but for some absurd reason you'll try and skirt around the issue for as long as possible, finding alternate routes through the mansion just so you don't have to face it. That is, until you forget about it entirely and plod through the corridor anyway only to get assaulted by the sound of shattering glass and the growls of rabid dogs, all the while cursing but applauding Capcom for creating such an expertly-placed set-piece.
