- A Remix of the Geoscape view music in UFO: enemy unknown for you X-COM fans out there :)
I've always really liked the music in the x-com games so one day I decided to modernize this atmospheric piece of music. It should have all the themes that were in the original but I've shortened it a bit by cutting out the almost silent bits where nothing was happening.
Hope you guys like it. :)
stallone.gfxile... geoscape.mp3
When I was in school, I would boot up the game, bring up the geoscape screen and just let this music play while I studied for a test or did research on a paper. I liked to think of myself as an X-Com scientist studying alien technology. Pretending my biology homework was like doing a sectoid autopsy, those were the days!
I had a tough time explaining that this helped me study when my dad walked in and saw the game screen on my computer, though... lol!
Slick Vic that explains why my heavy plasma research always goes so slow
Anything we had to do to make school bearable.
Like who doesn't occasionally love role-playing in life? haha.
X-COM was a bit before my time as school-age games went, but I would do the exact same thing with the Versalife theme from Deus Ex.
One thing's for certain, I think you still retain the information
you put in your head that day, fer sure.
It's how I treat all matters science, so to me reading but once
about something is like steel jarred in memory.
We looked to the skies, still with fear, but now without dread. Our opponent _could be defeated;_ that's all we needed to hold on.
This is the finest remake of the Geoscape theme I have ever listened to. I added it into the music files of OpenXCOM and Xenonauts to enhance the experience. :)
3:37 ah the goose bumps. They don't make it like this anymore. Awesome remix man, spot on.
Fantastic remake. It seamlessly includes everything that the original intended for, while managing to update the overall sounds.
dreadhawk123 why didn't they make this the new Geoscape music in the new ones
@@alizard7617 because the Geoscapes strategy part was dumped down and split into Geoscape/Base management, in OG-Xcom it goes fluid from the Geoscape into the Bases and different menus, plus the Geoscape is the Mainscreen, not the Base
This game and TIE fighter are the best games I've ever played imo.
Perfect music for world-saving strategic planning (or tedious data entry work)
Bloody brilliant soundtrack. Broomhall is like the Ennio Morricone of 90s game music.... i literally spent hundreds of hours on the pc version. Music never gets boring.
I have to admit I don't care so much for most game soundtrack remixes. This one is a real gem however. Terrific homage to the work.
Just been getting back into X-Com, and this is fantastic.
XCOM 1995 may have outdated graphics but the sound track is forever!
This sounds EXACTLY how I'd expect an XCom remake to sound like. Good job.
I love how it keeps the mystery and the darkness. The retro samples we're definitely a good addition, too! Make more :)
Лучшая игра моего детства 😔как же я скучаю по тем временам , когда впервые запустил её ещё на дискете 3.5 дюйма с братом. Супер саундтрек , спасибо!
Thank you for this mix! Using daily while working, set on repeat :-)
Yeah, absolutely the same.
When I hear this song, I completly remembers the old times.. This is so good..
Love the Geoscape theme. Moody, tense, fear of the unknown, time running out.
"Time to hunt some alien bastards again!" That´s what I think every time I hear this song xD
Such an interesting track...I doubt I'd have ever thought it was even musically possible to capture such a specific task or feeling, this "due deliberation in the face of mystery" kind of thing.
Remix is fantastic. Thanks for posting it.
bluereaper75: Then I pray you're prepared to have the greatest HQ of all time.
I have probably already commented on this, but here I am again. This is a great version. Brings me back. I listen to this once in a while, and it gets me in the pefect xcom mood every time. Love it!
Very talented. Stays true and feels updated. I dont think anyone could have done any better, to be honest.
love it, it's a bit of music that u don't want to mess around with too much and you done it just right thanks
This is my new 'thinking music' at work.
i love this game and music!
if i ever join the military and reach the rank of general i will have this music playing in the control room at HQ at ALL times
So... did you become a general?
@@commander1488 I think it's classified to talk about.
It's just great, listening like every week. Excellent for working and travelling - especially in dark.
Really, really nice. Really captures the best music sections. Downloaded. :)
Really enjoying the mysterious string segments added, this is an impressive piece of work.
"Roland Rizzo, who has been working with the X-COM series since the beginning, became the audio lead for the game and was tasked with reimagining and updating the famous music score of the 1994 original."-Source: Wikipedia.
Let's hope he recaptures the mystery, desperation, fear and tension of the original soundtrack.
Hello, and thanks for all the kind words :) Kudos to the guy who originally composed this music! (anyone know his name?)
His name is John Broomhall. He made among others Transport Tycoon music as well. Amazing game music both...
dude wow.....this is actually really good. I actually feel like giving Superhuman a go now.
It's pretty good. Gives me the same "We need asap high technology to survive"-feeling as the original does.
This is actually really impressive. Cheers for the memories.
Magic old game days. Who knew it would turn into a classic.
Fuck those terror missions with 5 aliens staring at the skyranger's ramp forreal.
Epic remix, epic game. The circle are now complete.
Wonderful. Those memories...
I'm listening to this at work, counting the last hours till I can get get home and try the new XCOM. Awesome work!
X com, transport tycoon, masters of Orion.... microprose was on another level back then....
Look! A UA-cam comment conversation that DOESN'T consist entirely of insults and flamewar.
Because Xcom fans aren't toxic.
@@hYBRYDcOBRA because they know to unite against a common enemy.
@@Dr.Oofers united, we have 99% chance to defeat our enemy!
*Missed*
Well fu-...
An epic remix indeed =)
Улюблена гра дитинства. Як швидко минає час(
А музика й досі занурює мене у ту атмосферу, яку я так полюбляв у цій грі.
Все стратегические игры XCOM крутые, каждые с особой изюминкой.
I wish Jagged Alliance 2 battle mechanics and macro-scale immersion were melted into an X-Com revamp of some sort...
+Wolf_22 Yeah. Brigade E5 had it about right, other than the stability of the game.
I've gotten requests for the .mp3 file. I added the address to the video description since youtube doesn't seem to allow me to add a comment like that to my own video. :P Hope you guys enjoy it! :)
Thanks for this! The music is amazing!
Best version uploaded on youtube but I still miss the original one from the PC dos game.
Good job man, you got it damn right. A great game a great tune now reborn. I got in the mood to kick some serious alien butt!
Like balm for the soul.
Game freezed, but new sound is live.
Nice job on this and thanks for the nostalgia kick!
the old times... Awesome!
Things with the drumbeat get very distracting and partially out of sync after 6:05.
Im sure its just part of the personal touch. All of the music beforehand is plenty enjoyable, especially the arrangement of the opening segment.
OH, shit...Its gonna be a night mission AGAIN!
@bluereaper75 It certainly makes me want to have a room with a massive globe on the wall and this music playing. I would go there to contemplate and make crucial decisions.
You did an excellent job, man. Awesome!
Обожаю эту игру!
Wow. This is fantastic. Spot on!
Liked and favorited. I don't suppose there's any way to replace the original geoscape music with this music in the actual game? Would be awesome, yo.
@Dxun1 The address is working fine. Just click it and it opens up the directory. Then you can right click the geoscape.mp3 and select "save as" to download it. :) ... Yeah, xcom games rock. I just started playing terror from the deep for the umpteenth time.
Fantastic remix!
ОБОЖАЮ ИГРУ
teh memories... tehy meakse me cryeis
Is this music amiga version or pc version ?
Fantastic.
8 aliens dislike that >:D
Sounds pretty good. I'm actually using it in my game at the moment.
Best Remix!
Great! My childhood :D
I like to listen to this while watching the walkthroughs of this game on youtube
Heh. Whoever was playing that game at that moment probably needs to step up his game. Also, if it was you (or you've gotten screenshots before), how do you do them in Windows? I've tried "Print Screen", but it shows up as black.
Awsome work with this one man =) thumbs up!
I'm just sitting here wondering how that much activity can be going on on the 10th of September. They're never that aggressive when I play.
Thank you for this.
TheLegend27 never made it past squaddie
Good track. Sounds like the soundtrack to the X-File series.
@jayattic Matthew Simmonds. You should listen to the Amiga soundtrack, it has a completely different vibe to it :)
Love it! Need`s atleast 1 million more views!
space ambient music kickass !
Try reading the X-com timepline on the ufo wiki while listening to this, it's very, Revealing.
That screenshot looks awfully familiar, you didn't get that from a Let's Play by Necroscope86, did you?
The difficulty was completely screwed up, along with the tech tree. I just LOVED when I was forced to siege an alien base with gauss rifles, lobstermen all around, invulnerable for everything...
Psst. Vibro Blades. OHK on Lobstermen.
I used Ableton Live. It's got great workflow. ... yeah, hope the game is good too! Thumbs up to firaxis. I'm pretty psyched!
i definatly think this should be featured in UFO:extraterrestrials 2
Very good
I like this remix for Geoscape =)
New XCOM has music from the guy who did the music for the new Deus Ex game.
stellar
@jayattic
John Broomhall. Good rework, like :)
MUCH better than the "Terror from the deep". Man that's lame.
give me a month when the next x-com comes out xD
This sounds like a part of the Terminator soundtrack. Specifically after the gunshop scene.
I'd be lucky to find a copy of the game for PS1 on Amazon. It's one of
those games I regret trading in.
4 Battleships. 2 supply ships 1 Terror Ship and 6 Alien bases. thats like.. normal when I play xD
Wow, if you watch this on an iPhone and expand it it looks like you're playing X-COM on an iPhone! Someone port this to iOS - it would be awesome!
@zeeTheLittle and perhaps thanks for making ;)
Nice!
Perfect
Excellent. Thank you. :)
Like, say, scrolling around the Ingress Intel Map while plotting the downfall of the Enlightened?
Ranger Six's Command Center I know right. It's fitting music. XCOM OST and Ingress - the most awesome pairing.
Although in my case it's the downfall of the Resistance.
Best. Game. Ever.
Is it just me or does this sound a bit like the Mass Effect galaxy map music?
WHAT?! X-com came WELL BEFORE Mass Effect, if anything Mass Effects music sounds like Xcom's music :P
