* The "Chopper Zombie" Endings imply that alive victims of the T-Virus who succumb to Zombification while alive are actually aware of their transformation, with some endings have implications of AndIMustScream while others have the characters accept their zombifiaction in a tragic way while others seem to lose themselves, some of the Chopper Zombie endings even imply at least some victims of the T-Virus are still aware even post-zombification.

Added DiffLines:

* In most of the franchise, if there's a major character death, it usually only happens to one playable character if any. In ''Outbreak'', short of [[SavedByCanon Alyssa]], ''everyone else'' is in AnyoneCanDie mode. Depending on who ''isn't'' played in a campaign, most of the playable cast dies off-screen in some way or another and several of them [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie reanimate]]. It can be damn well shocking to play through once as one character, and then play through as someone else and suddenly find the first coming for your flesh without any warning the next time you round a certain corner.
** The idea that other players can end up as zombies isn't any better. It's tragic when a character you get to know becomes an undead monster, but it's a whole different story if one of your friends ends up turning and starts to chase you down. Even if they don't try to attack, you still get to hear them calling for help and clearly no longer themselves all the while.

** The Suspended has a hole in her abdomen and, on certain difficulty levels, some Lickers will try to protect her. FridgeHorror kicks in when you realize that a human woman may have somehow been turned into an incubator for Lickers, and turned partially into a Licker herself. The game itself does not seem to have any answers as to how she transformed, either accidentally or from Umbrella's usual machinations... You decide which is more disturbing.

* The Hive might be pretty awful for people that aren't too excited about hospitals. [[spoiler:Especially considering that a nigh-invincible Leech Man chases you, and your partners ''turn into Leech Men'' when they die.]]

**And it can happen to your characters too. If Nyx swings his arm down and knock you flat on the ground in just the right position he can suction you into his back if you don't react quick enough and wiggle the analog stick, or have orange-caution health and below. From then you're helplessly trapped in Nyx's writhing flesh while your Virus Meter runs freely as if you got mortally wounded and crawling all while your teammates desperately try to kill it and save you (pretty difficult to do if you're carrying the big guns).

** The [[SarcasmMode best part?]] You can kill the Leech Man by luring it to a specific room. Planting a blood packet on the ground, waiting for him to show up, and watching as he laps it up, then crank up the heat and watch it writhe and die. Problem is, if your dead buddies become Leech Men, [[ItOnlyWorksOnce they're not going to fall for it again]].

* The artwork for Nyx makes it obvious the dev team was just outright going for the EldritchAbomination look. Boy, did they pull it off. A monstrous ''jelly'' being with a single core, capable of ''absorbing'' you and any corpses around. ''Including a Tyrant''. The kicker? Some of the guys ''are still alive'', including the Tyant, as Nyx tries to devour and absorb them.

* We get to see the middling stage between a Crimson Head and a Licker, "The Suspended". The mutations aren't pretty, as we can still see the woman the zombie was before it began. To make matters worse, incidental dialogue implies George knew her.

* Imagine this: You're a normal person, then you get infected. You just want everything to end, soon enough, your wish comes true. Right before losing your mind, [[FateWorseThanDeath you'll understand why all of this is happening to you, and you won't care about it anymore, all you want is to embrace your new life of no longer having control over your actions]]. At least, that's what the characters imply to happen you turn into a zombie in their bad endings and in their ad-libs when you control their zombified selves.

* The Hive. The creepy abandoned hospital setting and the fact that the Leech Man would pop out of the air ducts. Constantly. And he was invincible. You spent half the time going through that level praying that you'd manage to get what you needed before he showed up in the room you were in... or that he didn't block the door. He also showed up more often when you were wounded and could attack you from 20 feet away. And if your partners go down he or she becomes a new Leech Man.

* The cutscene on Main Street in ''Outbreak.'' The sheer scale of the outbreak hits home right then, and it's an OhCrap moment both in-game and out.
* "Wild Things", which takes place in a zoo full of zombified animals, such as lions, hyenas, and crocodiles. But the most terrifying is easily Oscar the elephant, or as he's now known, "Titan". As if ordinary rampaging elephants weren't scary enough, Titan is a rampaging elephant with decaying skin, jagged, bladelike tusks, and his entrails hanging out of his side.
** The opening cutscene for the level. Ever wonder what happens when a zoo full of cute animals gets caught in a zombie outbreak? Animal lovers, mash the button to skip the cutscene or look away, or you will be in for this combined with a TearJerker.

* In ''Outbreak'' 2, an AbandonedHospital in the middle of an empty woods, with zombies infested by plants that pop out ''from underneath your feet.'' And then, of course, there's the mutated, axe-wielding serial killer stalking you through the place intent on chopping up your corpse and feeding it to the monster plant in the basement that he believes is the reincarnation of his dead wife.
