Composing music for a video game is an entirely different beast than creating a SoundCloud single or producing a studio album. While video games have, as millions of elders have articulated over the years, вЂњcome such a long way since Pac-Man,вЂќ so too has its music in the form of OSTs or Original Soundtrack albums.

While it's doubtful that was the entire reason behind selecting 'What's Up' for the Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City trailer song, there's no way it's a coincidence either.No, itвЂ™s not just your nostalgia talking.

The original Resident Evil video game debuted on the PlayStation in 1996, which makes 2021 the 25th anniversary of the franchise's existence. 'What's Up?' by 4 Non Blondes begins with the lyrics: ' 25 years and my life is still, trying to get up that great big hill of hope, for a destination.' These are also featured prominently in the trailer. However, paying attention to the lyrics of 'What's Up?' actually points toward a possible reason it was chosen, particularly the opening line. As usual, there are people who love the decision to use 'What's Up?' as the Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityВ trailer song, and those who find the choice ill-fitting for Resident Evil's return to horror over action.

Using a slower version of a pop song is nothing new for movie trailers, with it becoming fairly common practice in the last decade. While 4 Non Blondes proved to be a one hit wonder, 'What's Up?' was a big hit, and remains popular today, with the song's music video having amassed over one billion views on YouTube. Perhaps most of all though, Welcome to Raccoon City's trailer is proving memorable due to its use of a slowed down version of the pop song 'What's Up?' by 4 Non Blondes. Welcome to Raccoon City's trailer showed off lots of nods to said games, to the delight of fans, but also some noticeable departures. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City's biggest selling point so far has been taking inspiration from the first two games. Related: Resident Evil Reboot Villain Explained: Who Is Lisa Trevor? (Powers & Origin) Resident Evil is hotter than it's been in years, and capitalizing on that is a smart move. These include 2017's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, 2019's Resident Evil 2 remake, 2020's Resident Evil 3 remake, and 2021's Resident Evil: Village. It makes sense that there's a desire to rejuvenate Resident Evil movies too, as since the Alice saga ended, there have been four more acclaimed video games. Alice's story came to a conclusive end, and Jovovich seems happy with where she left things.

Whatever one thinks of those movies, and the many liberties they took with the established story and characters, doing a reboot makes sense either way. While Welcome to Raccoon City will be the seventh live-action movie in the overall Resident Evil franchise, it'll be a reboot that disregards the previous six movies starring Milla Jovovich as Alice. Here's Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityВ trailer song that plays in the first teaser.
