games like Quake, Doom, Unreal tournament,Halo, half life, even StarCraft, CnC, SupCom, have something with that early graphics of 90s and 00s, that i cant explain, and their soundtracks that is so fitting to that era and also its so fitting for each other, i never had chance to expirience 90s but i have small brief memory of ealry 00s,as im born in around that time of early 00s and i wish to re-expirience those times
Agreed. They truly felt "other-worldly" in my opinion. I was born in '89 and I still have very fond memories of the visuals and music from games like Unreal, UT '99, the original Age of Wonders, etc. The worlds just seemed so alien and mystical.
@@Cryotyde people were given time to come up with unique imaginatory products; nowadays every story has to have the same cliches and people are more concerned with monetising gaming rather than exploring and telling wonderful stories etc.
I love that creations like this exist - dedicated fans paying homage to these games from two decades ago (yikes I'm getting old). Thank you for keeping the golden age of gaming alive for those who weren't there to experience it.
Foregone Destruction. Great music. The map is so simple/small in design and yet so hard to play. My UT name back then was TigerZero. I should have trade marked that name. Seems later people have wanted to use it.
That game engine had great lighting effects too, and really stood out to me back in the day and even today, I made a few home made maps myself and what you can do with the lighting effects really can set a mood or feeling.
In these canyons and futuristic constructions, I was battle-hardened more than 20 years ago. I knew legends that will fall into oblivion when I and all those who witnessed them will no longer be here. The cruelty of time.
I remember seeing Unreal run on a friend's PC for the first time and being BLOWN AWAY by the dynamic lighting, the mirror surfaces, and the "intelligence" of the bots. Stunned me and got me to buy my first gfx card - a Voodoo 3000 - and join my first clan. From that point on until ~2001 when Diablo 2 took over, I was totally dedicated to playing Unreal & UT. Best games ever for me. Excellent music that defined the feeling of these games.
When I bought Unreal, my jaw dropped to the ground, looking at the graphics and music... Water, fish in the water and many other things that were not in any other game and a very unique atmosphere. The 3Dfx accelerator then showed its class...
Original Unreal is one of my favorite games ever, and the ambiance hits me so hard. It always feels like it's been largely forgotten in favor of Tournament, so it's really nice to see someone giving it love.
Excellent mix and accompanying video, I like apparently many others have always been charmed by this era of computer graphics and this game series in particular will always hold a special place in my heart due to various nostalgia related reasons including the incredible soundtrack and playing it with my dad and friends growing up. Fun fact: I actually got in touch with Michel Van Den Bos like 10 years ago via Soundcloud and told him how much his music meant to me and he was super nice and cool about it. I'm sure I was speaking for most of us when I told him that.
Back in Word of Warcraft TBC expansion, I discovered that Michel Van Den Bos was my guild leader. He just casually mentioned he made music for games like UT, lol.
When some of these tracks came on it was like I was a different person; I’d enter a state of absolute confidence and pin point precision accuracy, no second guessing rocket shots, not hesitating to strafe jump across certain death pits for that sneaky back shot. A flow state I would later call “The Red Mist”. It was so long ago I wondered if it was just my brain misremembering, so I listened to this very vid and got 42 kills and 2 deaths on hardcore CoD. The Red Mist descended once more, and like a well worn groove I was in that flow state of no hesitation or doubts. Just the thrill of the kill.
1998 on my second PC, first i ever built myself. And i couldn't stop raving about how amazing this game looked at the time. We've come a long way since than. But i still recognize every level.

The only guy left from the old Epic Games is Tim Sweeney himself, as far as I know. Some people left the company soon after the release of Unreal or UT99... Which explains why later UT installments are not the same.

My childhood... I still can feel the experience of playing Unreal for the very first time. It was something completely out of this world. The gameplay, the music, the graphics. Years go by real fast, no doubt. But the music it will be always the true Time Machine.
This scenic location has so many nostalgic assets... It's like seeing it all put in together in layers. Foreground, middleground, background. This is SICK.
Oh man the All Hallows Sunset rly brings out its sombre mood when slowed down - almost cried when first heard it. This and the entire Unreal Gold OST and UT99 OST would make PERFECT reel music in Insta, FB and Tiktok
Man, this is really nice -- the tracks flow into each other really, really well. Thanks for putting it all together, it helps me relax when I sit down to do some writing.
The Composer Andrew Sega plays in a couple of bands IRIS and Hallowed Hearts good synth pop think he also was in Crusader no Remorse and No Regret game as soundtrack. really enjoy this atmosphere and pictures.
Bloody love this hypnotic synth. Mechanism Eight at 24:13 reminds me of the truly magic TimeSplitters games and some of Crystal Method's older music. Mesmerising stuff 🙂😊
No one makes this comparison for some reason but I will. There's no way Metroid Prime wasn't at least somewhat inspired by Unreal. 1998-2002 isn't a big stretch and especially the research logs in both the Skaarj and Spare Pirate bases were very similar in tone. The detailed landscapes, hidden alcoves with treasures, big pretty landmarks, intelligent enemies from the main opposing faction, journals written by survivors, oppressed natives, religious architecture trampled by hostile tech. And so on.
I was a UT '03 kid (yeah I know the mechanics were worse or whatever but that's the one I grew up with) The maps are so much more open! I'm not sure how you'd ever want stuff like the flak cannon or goo gun with such limited cover. It also seems like snipers would be OP but maybe not since the movement looks faster. The music is amazing and there's a nice stark concrete vibe to this version of the game that I like. Seeing the 'ending theme' animation really makes me want to be able to buy all the unreal games so I can play through the whole story! Sadly it seems like as of a year ago, it's now impossible to buy ANY UT games online (thanks, Epic!) I could buy physical copies on ebay but I'd have to buy something that could read a disk... I remember games coming on disks, but now you just buy them digitally which is probably why lots of newer computers like mine don't even have a disk drive :(
Yeah it sucks man. I was able to play through the game since my PC still has a disc drive and my dad still had the old disc around. I would recommend investing in a disc reader since it allows you to do more things like playing CDs offline.
Played both, ut99 and 2003, then ut3 and the pre alpha. I put countless hours into the games, until the pre alpha was canceled. 2003 was a wonderful game. Good graphics, good vibe, nice controls. Loved dm's on antalus and asbestos...and let's not forget the EPIC soundtrack. Good times.
Hello! Always digging new UT content, especially if it's related to music. Ah, what am I talking about, everything about this game is just awesome. HEADSHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everytime I play a sandbox game, especially when the premise is landing on an alien planet (Factorio, Oxygen Not Included, Dyson Sphere) I put on Dusk Horizon when I start a new file. What an absolute recreation of an experience. I even get the goosebumps with this music running around a new Minecraft world, and discovering the Nali...I mean Villagers lmao
I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, Flag capturers on killing sprees off the face towers I've watched instagibs glitter in the dark, near the flak corridor All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

Because there are already plenty of videos with the original regular music if thats what you are looking for, and making it faster and tuning it high won't make it better than this video
