Imagine this: An old military base, abandoned for decades, if not centuries… Ancient robots patrolling the halls, still performing their outdated orders of keeping out intruders with extreme prejudice… The lights on the ceiling, the only things illuminating the place, are struggling to stay lit due to the ever dwindling power supply of a failing generator… Skeletons and decaying corpses riddling across the desolate halls with their weapons still in detached hands… Monitors dotting the walls throughout the base that once displayed useful data, now covered with layers of dust, dirt, and rust from years of neglect… Posters peeling off the walls that displayed messages of hope and peace, originating from a bygone era of comfort for many… …And you, a lone wanderer, sporting used combat armor, trying to survive the cruel, unforgiving wastes of a once proud and prosperous nation, a rustic gun in hand, prepares to break into the base to gather supplies and resources just to survive a single afternoon, let alone day, in this nuked out hellhole… …fully, or not completely aware, of the terrible dangers that lie within… …This is life now…nothing you can do about it…
Fallout 1 truly felt more depressing and hopeless than any of the other games. Less than 100 years after the bombs fell, only small pockets of human civilization on the surface, mutated creatures waiting to kill you at every turn, and super mutants are going around to every vault kidnapping healthy humans and turning them into monsters. And no stupid jokes or references. Truly a terrifying game.

This track is both distressing and ominous, like you're already scared but there's something even worse around the corner. The impending nuclear war meant destruction and death but entering the vaults brought uncertainty and (as we later find) its own set of sinister situations. Then the wasteland itself is clearly desolate and unforgiving but if you dig deep you'll find even darker secrets.
I can just feel the radiation and death in this track. Super Mutants, Floaters and Centaurs surrounding me. Those nightmares will forever be engraved in my mind.
I remember the first time seeing the Fallout intro. This music made my spine tingle, my blood run cold, and my stomach feel queezy at the immense gravity of what was transpiring. No better song for the end of everything.

People spamming "War never changes" because of Fallout 4's release all over UA-cam's comments sections got cringey and repetitively annoying. Then I saw Fallout 1's intro and now I can take the quote seriously again. That's how damn good the writing was in this game, and the story-telling is further enhanced by the amazing soundtrack.
"UA-cam's comment sections got cringey and repetitively annoying" This pretty much sums up the majority of meme comment sections,including the "nobody" comments.
After politely requesting that the Brotherhood help deal with the mutants, you and a few expert soldiers advance on Mariposa. Blasting your way through the corridors, you come face to face with the right hand of The Master. A true supermutant is bad enough. A cybernetic one is even worse. Taking cover from the hail of lasers, you pull out the Turbo Plasma Rifle and remember what you've been told about big bastards like him. Deathclaws die easily from being shot in the eye. Who's to say a big white-hot glob of plasma won't do the same to him?
Can you imagine the feeling of going after all of fallout 1's main story and remember how you were only sent to retrieve a water chip not so far from home?
Honestly, if anyone were to have put classic music in Fallout 3, similar to Fallout New Vegas, there's only two places I can think of where this would be appropriate; The Enclave's base of operations (either Raven Rock or the airforce base with that big fortress thing on tank treads), or the entirety of the Mothership Zeta DLC.
They should be so god damn proud of themselves, game is playable and "fun", series mutated but lives on, thats really an achievement comparable only maybe to Civs and HoMM ? Best games live on.
That would’ve been fucking awesome! Tbh I think Vault 87 and overhearing the super mutants talk about FEV was the closest we had to the old games. That and Harold in Oasis of course. Adding this to Vault 87 would’ve done wonders.
@@BonVoyage861 Yeah sure. New vegas, a game with a character that doesn't come from a vault, shot in the head but somehow survived. No power armors, almost no BoS. And you say that the game deserves the fallout title before fallout 3 and 4. You are a clown.
@@Blueffect_22 And Fallout 3 and 4 are barely RPGs. They are more like looter shooters which is probably ok for pea brained buffoons or when you just want some casual gameplay, but I prefer a little more stimulation. Also FO2 doesn't start in a vault and the BoS are not a major faction in that game either.
"In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth."
this is such a great eerie track, I could even see it being used in a documentary about unit 731 for example or any other such dark theme, it's just great
Despite all the laser guns and goofy looking vault suits, this might be the most realistic depiction of the post apocalypse ever, it’s bleak, deadly, creepy, disgusting and hopelessly dark and I love it. Fallout 1 makes things like s.t.a.l.k.e.r. look like a cartoon in comparison. This is the best Fallout game when it comes to style, story and atmosphere. And the soundtrack is literally so disturbing that half of it sounds like the screams of the dammed echoing through the metallic clanks and desert winds, it’s mortifying. Great job Interplay, your legacy will live on and, maybe… just maybe, one day, everyone of us will get to experience the fallout franchise much more personally and up close than ever before. Until then, sweet dreams… ;)
I find this so funny because being a stalker fan, and frequenting stalker forums, they would say the exact same thing to us fallout fans. Either way, theyre both incredible art pieces
I want a 3D fallout game with the athmosphere of fallout 1 so badly. The gore, the bleakness, the sadness, the horror. The fight to survive, the dread that lingers in the air…. No Heroes, no villains, just people doing what they have to do just to make it to the next day. The newer fallout games have an issue where they have clear “this is a bad guy” characters but the real world isnt that simple
I wish the atmosphere and ancient feeling you had exploring in fallout 1 carried over to Bethesda fallouts. The ruins and memories of the pre war times would be hard to come by 200 years after a nuclear war I would say.
the super mutant is the next advancement in human evolution. to save the world, we will convert all the worthy individuals. simple, efficient, glorious
I love that the military base indefinitely feels like after the great-war, you can sense the drums are setting up as if an army was rising for a new world. Planning carefully in their foot-steps in a industrial plant as the thrill thrives.
I believe the drone sound was created with a bass clarinet. Most of this soundtrack is completely orchestral, but unlike Bethesda’s arrangements, they aren’t devoid of personality or anything resembling an actual understanding of Fallout.
Hey okay don't be mean to Bethesda's fallout music - its different but inon zur does a pretty good job at capturing a wasteland in a different light. Explore 06 or any of the Legion themes in New Vegas are ridiculously worhy of praise.
@@lolmcswagger7247 based take, but even fallout 3 OST isn't that bad. Fallout 76 is melodic and atmospheric as hell but ill agree it does not fit the universe but then again neither does anything in that freaking game.
I wish there were more origanal things in fallout 4 like strong and slow ghouls, actual SUPER mutants that are SUPER, the giant ants and the infestations of creatures and ghost towns
I think that ghouls in Fallout 4 are well made (at leat ferals). Unlike in other games, where they look more like undead from a fantasy game, in Fallout 4 they look like people who have taken huge amounts of radiation should look with those cancerous growths and other things. They simply have more realistic appearance (I don't mean graphics).
I want another fallout villain like the Unity. It’s so creepy, getting kidnapped by mutants and mutated into monstrosities. It’s horrific and I love that kind of atmosphere
maybe fallout 5 will be similar to fallout 1 where the plot will be about super mutants and fev again... and maybe even throw in a water chip hunt too lmao
In my first playthrough I was stuck in the Mariposa Base for like 5 hours real-time, since I really was under-leveled and didnt know the game. Over all these hours this soundtrack really embedded into my brain and slowly made myself FEAR the whole complex. This soundtrack is something else, I tell you.
Fallout was scary, fallout 2 was scary, fallout 3 couldve been a lot better, and then fallout: new vegas got scary again, and then fallout 4 became happiness and rainbows and sunshine
Preston Garvey i wish they would make another fallout with all the horror of fallouts one and two, but the hud and engine of fallout 3 and new vegas. Not this fallout 4 cancer we have now...
Yes, but in here everything felt... Well extra depressing in how dead it was. There wasn't much, but that's the point. Everything that man has achieved has been nearly wiped out with nary a trace. Sometimes death like that is arguably worse than ruins, because at least ruins hold tragic memories. Emptiness has none whatsoever.
I personally like the new games but they don't really feel like the world has gone to shit. With the old games you really feel like you're in a post-apocalyptic world.
Man, this bgm is gonna be lit within this decade lol, esp when so close to the in-game date when the bombs dropped (only issue is we're off by 55 yrs lol).
October 22, 2077: "What the hell is going on? We declare ourselves to be in full desertion from the army and no longer under the government's command and what happens? Nothing. Something bad is coming down."
Every single night when I lived next to the military base, I'd hear that sound... The sound of a turboprop taking off, far in the distance behind the trees. Every night when I went to bed, this came into my head. Being a Fallout enjoyer, I loved it.
Man it sucks to see how far fallout has fallen. Fallout 1 & 2 were amazing, Bethesda has dragged this franchise through the mud. Each game becoming even more unrecognizable as a Fallout game. Mutating if you will into some safe corporate sludge of a game with terribly one dimensional stories that can be recycled for infinite sequels instead of trying anything new. New Vegas was and still is the best Fallout Game since 1 & 2 but Bethesda hasn't exactly been providing much competition. The worst part of it all is that for people who agree with this sentiment we're essentially screaming into the void. Fallout will likely never return to it's former glory, Fallout 5 will be even more simplified than 4 and have the same story recycled from fallout 3 and they'll charge Sixty or seventy dollars for it but this time only pc and xbox players will be able to play it since Bethesda games on console will only be on xbox from now on. This is franchise truly continues to sink lower into the depths of inadequacy.
I like Hearing Vats of Goo in Fallout 1’s intro with Ron Perlman narrating it all. As entertaining the Military Base with Vats of Goo playing is Military with some horror like noises.

Then I saw Fallout 1's intro and now I can take the quote seriously again. That's how damn good the writing was in this game, and the story-telling is further enhanced by the amazing soundtrack.
@thatguyfrombefore lol Isn't it "If war never changes, men must do."?
"UA-cam's comment sections got cringey and repetitively annoying"
This pretty much sums up the majority of meme comment sections,including the "nobody" comments.
@@kimyong-bae8156 yeah that one's the ultimate worst.
Meanwhile New Vegas changed the quote to "War doesn't change, men do"
@@peternehemiah1606 new vegas is kinda borin I like 4 better
*In just two brief hours, most of the world was reduced to cinders.*
After politely requesting that the Brotherhood help deal with the mutants, you and a few expert soldiers advance on Mariposa. Blasting your way through the corridors, you come face to face with the right hand of The Master. A true supermutant is bad enough. A cybernetic one is even worse. Taking cover from the hail of lasers, you pull out the Turbo Plasma Rifle and remember what you've been told about big bastards like him. Deathclaws die easily from being shot in the eye. Who's to say a big white-hot glob of plasma won't do the same to him?
War. War never changes.
Can you imagine the feeling of going after all of fallout 1's main story and remember how you were only sent to retrieve a water chip not so far from home?
"War, war never changes."
Life in the vault. Is about to change...
The sound of the nuclear threat alarm def added that touch to the theme of "welcome to the end of the world, you're fucked"
Honestly, if anyone were to have put classic music in Fallout 3, similar to Fallout New Vegas, there's only two places I can think of where this would be appropriate; The Enclave's base of operations (either Raven Rock or the airforce base with that big fortress thing on tank treads), or the entirety of the Mothership Zeta DLC.
And I guess if they did the same with the 4th game, then that would be Sentinel Base Prescott.
They should be so god damn proud of themselves, game is playable and "fun", series mutated but lives on, thats really an achievement comparable only maybe to Civs and HoMM ? Best games live on.
Oh my god, I waited 11 years for someone to notice.
Unfortunately yes, I had to explain this avatar many times. Its good that someone remembers good, old games.
seeing people talk from 4yrs ago is kinda strange
@@Type1-2 still, the games I mentioned are playable and "fun" nowadays 😃
@@Mgaak You are right, I'm born way after Fallout 1 era and still played and enjoy the game a lot, that's something quite impressive
It was a missed opportunity that they didn't put this in vault 87 for FO3
That would’ve been fucking awesome! Tbh I think Vault 87 and overhearing the super mutants talk about FEV was the closest we had to the old games. That and Harold in Oasis of course. Adding this to Vault 87 would’ve done wonders.
There needs to be a mod for this.
The Fallout trilogy is FO1,2 and NV. Other games just have Fallout in their name.
@@BonVoyage861 Yeah sure. New vegas, a game with a character that doesn't come from a vault, shot in the head but somehow survived. No power armors, almost no BoS. And you say that the game deserves the fallout title before fallout 3 and 4. You are a clown.
@@Blueffect_22 And Fallout 3 and 4 are barely RPGs. They are more like looter shooters which is probably ok for pea brained buffoons or when you just want some casual gameplay, but I prefer a little more stimulation. Also FO2 doesn't start in a vault and the BoS are not a major faction in that game either.
"In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired.
Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium.
For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth."
this is such a great eerie track, I could even see it being used in a documentary about unit 731 for example or any other such dark theme, it's just great
This the shit I hear when my dad gets done in the bathroom
Christ how did we get from this to 76..
It ain't that bad
Can people stop shitting on 76 for one goddamn minute
Bethesda and Todd has happened.
@@serhio4275 No
Most of the people who say it's bad haven't played past level 5.
I Swear being in that military base with this soundtrack made me wanna get the fuck out there quick as possible
I wanted to quickly destroy the military base & escape the base after setting its self destruct timer higher to get out quick
War. War Never Changes
Despite all the laser guns and goofy looking vault suits, this might be the most realistic depiction of the post apocalypse ever, it’s bleak, deadly, creepy, disgusting and hopelessly dark and I love it. Fallout 1 makes things like s.t.a.l.k.e.r. look like a cartoon in comparison. This is the best Fallout game when it comes to style, story and atmosphere. And the soundtrack is literally so disturbing that half of it sounds like the screams of the dammed echoing through the metallic clanks and desert winds, it’s mortifying.
Great job Interplay, your legacy will live on and, maybe… just maybe, one day, everyone of us will get to experience the fallout franchise much more personally and up close than ever before. Until then, sweet dreams… ;)
I find this so funny because being a stalker fan, and frequenting stalker forums, they would say the exact same thing to us fallout fans. Either way, theyre both incredible art pieces
I want a 3D fallout game with the athmosphere of fallout 1 so badly. The gore, the bleakness, the sadness, the horror. The fight to survive, the dread that lingers in the air…. No Heroes, no villains, just people doing what they have to do just to make it to the next day.
The newer fallout games have an issue where they have clear “this is a bad guy” characters but the real world isnt that simple
Fallout wouldn't be the same without laser weapons
Metro
И восстали люди из пепла ядерного огня...
Они заполонили планету
It was such a great idea to use this track on the intro and then having it not show up until you get to the base
And this is what depicts Fallout, best OST
Fallout: The only source of Hope left in this world; is *YOU.*
I hope they make a fallout game some day that is dark and gritty instead of the clownfest the setting is headed.
I wish the atmosphere and ancient feeling you had exploring in fallout 1 carried over to Bethesda fallouts. The ruins and memories of the pre war times would be hard to come by 200 years after a nuclear war I would say.
FO 1, 2 and NV have the atmosphere.
You hear this playing after seeing so much sand and dilapidated buildings, then the contrast of the cleaner surroundings of the military base
This song makes my head feel happy.
Happy 20th birthday Fallout
the super mutant is the next advancement in human evolution. to save the world, we will convert all the worthy individuals. simple, efficient, glorious
I love that the military base indefinitely feels like after the great-war, you can sense the drums are setting up as if an army was rising for a new world. Planning carefully in their foot-steps in a industrial plant as the thrill thrives.
0:06 War...war never changes
I believe the drone sound was created with a bass clarinet. Most of this soundtrack is completely orchestral, but unlike Bethesda’s arrangements, they aren’t devoid of personality or anything resembling an actual understanding of Fallout.
Hey okay don't be mean to Bethesda's fallout music - its different but inon zur does a pretty good job at capturing a wasteland in a different light. Explore 06 or any of the Legion themes in New Vegas are ridiculously worhy of praise.
@@mayap.4146 I’m not taking about FNV, that one is goated.
@@lolmcswagger7247 based take, but even fallout 3 OST isn't that bad. Fallout 76 is melodic and atmospheric as hell but ill agree it does not fit the universe but then again neither does anything in that freaking game.
I wish there were more origanal things in fallout 4 like strong and slow ghouls, actual SUPER mutants that are SUPER, the giant ants and the infestations of creatures and ghost towns
Con. Hans Dueth, well there are super mutant behemoths, which are like super super mutants. Also, glowing ones are the strong ghouls.
Its not that, in the original games, ghouls were slow as fuck.
I think that ghouls in Fallout 4 are well made (at leat ferals). Unlike in other games, where they look more like undead from a fantasy game, in Fallout 4 they look like people who have taken huge amounts of radiation should look with those cancerous growths and other things. They simply have more realistic appearance (I don't mean graphics).
The new ones look like some Freddy Kruger wannabes with odd black eyes.
The Clan Banker fallout 4 is a bad rpg and therefore a bad fallout game. (3is also terrible)
I want another fallout villain like the Unity. It’s so creepy, getting kidnapped by mutants and mutated into monstrosities. It’s horrific and I love that kind of atmosphere
Me to man he was the biggest threat of them all
ikr same.. and the whole idea of the main char being a good guy joining the bad guys.. such a good trope lol
Finally beat this game! What an experience.
I need Fallout 1 & 2 Remastered
I wish fallout was like this again😭
maybe fallout 5 will be similar to fallout 1 where the plot will be about super mutants and fev again... and maybe even throw in a water chip hunt too lmao
best fallout song no cap
i agree
@@alyssarasmussen1723of course you do
@@user-ls8pd1pz3h :D
It`s also for destroyed Cathedral in Fallout 1. And Vault 13, Broken Hills, Sierra Army Depot in Fallout 2
Only about 54 more years until it begins or so.
Oh this is excellent you know I actually doubted by officers when they said they brought in a prime normal it is so nice to finally meet you
This song completely conveys the atmosphere of Fallout 1
In my first playthrough I was stuck in the Mariposa Base for like 5 hours real-time, since I really was under-leveled and didnt know the game. Over all these hours this soundtrack really embedded into my brain and slowly made myself FEAR the whole complex. This soundtrack is something else, I tell you.
Nah this some Metroid Type shit
Fallout was scary, fallout 2 was scary, fallout 3 couldve been a lot better, and then fallout: new vegas got scary again, and then fallout 4 became happiness and rainbows and sunshine
Yeah, unfortunately
Preston Garvey i wish they would make another fallout with all the horror of fallouts one and two, but the hud and engine of fallout 3 and new vegas. Not this fallout 4 cancer we have now...
What pray tell, was wrong with 3? Besides companions dying
Uh the Glowing Sea is pretty scary.
Yes, but in here everything felt... Well extra depressing in how dead it was.
There wasn't much, but that's the point. Everything that man has achieved has been nearly wiped out with nary a trace.
Sometimes death like that is arguably worse than ruins, because at least ruins hold tragic memories. Emptiness has none whatsoever.
Oh man this just screams classic Fallout.
i miss this kind of darkness in fallout.
So, what shall it be? Do you join the Unity, or do you die here?
join
Put me in the goop, coach. I'm ready.
I personally like the new games but they don't really feel like the world has gone to shit. With the old games you really feel like you're in a post-apocalyptic world.
Well, what did you expect? Over 200 passing and the world still looking as if the bombs just fell? That's not how time works.
This soundtrack really puts you into that feeling of the world in ruins unlike the newer games
When you live in a poor area of CA.
thanks for fallout sound i evry time back to future... we have chance
Man, this bgm is gonna be lit within this decade lol, esp when so close to the in-game date when the bombs dropped (only issue is we're off by 55 yrs lol).
thank's for the uploads Little Pip! I have heard this song meny times outside of the game. Have a good day!
October 22, 2077:
"What the hell is going on? We declare ourselves to be in full desertion from the army and no longer under the government's command and what happens? Nothing. Something bad is coming down."
Every single night when I lived next to the military base, I'd hear that sound... The sound of a turboprop taking off, far in the distance behind the trees. Every night when I went to bed, this came into my head. Being a Fallout enjoyer, I loved it.
Every song in this game is so recognizable
Man it sucks to see how far fallout has fallen. Fallout 1 & 2 were amazing, Bethesda has dragged this franchise through the mud. Each game becoming even more unrecognizable as a Fallout game. Mutating if you will into some safe corporate sludge of a game with terribly one dimensional stories that can be recycled for infinite sequels instead of trying anything new. New Vegas was and still is the best Fallout Game since 1 & 2 but Bethesda hasn't exactly been providing much competition. The worst part of it all is that for people who agree with this sentiment we're essentially screaming into the void. Fallout will likely never return to it's former glory, Fallout 5 will be even more simplified than 4 and have the same story recycled from fallout 3 and they'll charge Sixty or seventy dollars for it but this time only pc and xbox players will be able to play it since Bethesda games on console will only be on xbox from now on. This is franchise truly continues to sink lower into the depths of inadequacy.
My bathroom after taco bell
This is the mutant version of metallic monks song
The first Fallout is still the best game in the franchise.
so simple, so effective
I like Hearing Vats of Goo in Fallout 1’s intro with Ron Perlman narrating it all. As entertaining the Military Base with Vats of Goo playing is Military with some horror like noises.
ahh yes the game that traumatized me when I was 7 and Im still terrified of the theme. those bomb noises
its good when yu pass through toxic valley in fallout 76 . the feeling is amazing!!
3 spooks 5 me
Amazing soundtrack.
Because war,
war never changes
Super atmospheric
