This music is so deceptive. Its actually a (awesome) survival horror, but hearing this just makes you want to storm around smacking everything in the face with the wrench.
It's actually starts playing after you enable some engines in the engi deck and then you have to run back through all the corridors with corpses of your enemies and destroyed turrets. I really felt that mixed feeling between the panic and celebration.
That's the beauty of System Shock 2. With music on it becomes an action game with horror elements. With music off it becomes a horror game with action elements. A masterpiece to the core.
Ive heard that this soundtrack didn't "go with" a horror game like this , but even though this track is paced it still has a very prominent underlying feeling of tension and unease

The music becomes even funnier when you're revisiting old areas when most of the work is done. So you're just walking down empty hallways, all the while the music is going NUTS.
@@taylord5381 System Shock had dynamic music, sort of like iMuse, but nobody noticed so this ti9me around they just said "fuck it, enjoy your rave tubes".
i think there's so many horror games that paint into the genre with silence dripping with tension that we often don't take into consideration horror that stands in the backdrop of total disorder, panic, and noise this song has a melody (which, those synths totally give a feeling of mystery and slight unease btw) and rhythm, but the loud dnb drums can invoke this rapid, panicked movement that doesn't have time to stop and think (like how the engineering deck forces you to move through it quickly bc of the radiation leakages). in that rushing pool of panic and noise, there's a mutated henchman shuffling at the other end of the hall. his mind's been hijacked and only his simpler brain functions are running. he's big, strong, violent, and hard to kill; the sight of him heightens your fear and makes your stomach drop he sees you he's walking towards you whether you manage to kill him or you run away, you're deep into this labyrinth of maintenance corridors and it's in your mind now that another one of these things could be roaming in them with you. it might not have that large contrast between quiet build-ups and loud scares, but it definitely leaves you terrified and in dread/anticipation amongst the hissing pipes and the ringing alarms and the kickass dnb
I think it does fit the game, at least this song. I only remember it playing in the enginnering pumps or whatever where you have to run around and some parts of the maze are radioactive, and what part of the song plays depends on where you are exactly. The drops seem to play mostly in areas where you don't want to be for long. The song in this video is just the little track elements pieced together in a somewhat cohesive way
One of the few games that actually scared me. I had to take multiple breaks and get a breather before trying a level. Sometimes I had to put it on pause when I see monsters coming at me to decide what to do. Lol
@@Alex-ee5pl but in this bideogame of you shoot too many enemies you might exhaust your ammo supply or straight up break your gun. So just shoot isn't the smartest choice
Yeah, it really slipped. People were doing some really clean, atmospheric stuff with 808s and things in the late 90's and the field is completely flooded with stuff I don't enjoy now. It's basically a different genre.
It’s literal legions of brilliant minds from that era/genre Just in UA-cam I keep finding rare banger after rare banger that would otherwise be lost to time
The Polito form is dead, insect. Are you afraid? What is it you fear? The end of your trivial existence? When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence. I am SHODAN
That's why System Shock 2 has one of the most ominous villains - both Shodan and The Many. Shodan was voiced by Terri Brosius, wife of Eric Brosius who composed music for the game. Couple of years ago Nightdive Studios released an audio teaser to System Shock 3, but after that there were no additional informations about progress but I've read that they are working on remake of System Shock 1 (scheduled to be released in 2020) so maybe after that they will push SS3.
System Shock 2 is probably the best game ever. Game touches on all themes before you finish it, and is the best horror, at the same time. Music is just top of the cream :)
It started when bug players like pendulum, hallucinator, etc switched to the more modern dubstep ( which sucks ). Classic drum and bass mix is a good place to find old but gold pieces.
@@tylenolsaurus those fucking security robots were the bane of my existence. They are THE reason I never finished System Shock 2 until recently. I'm glad I stuck with it though, amazing game
You do have a point. Some games' interfaces or other elements can be overly complicated and thus not enjoyable. But System Shock 2 struck a very fine point of balance.
It was perfect imo. Bioshock dumbed everything down too much. There arent nearly as many items, powers, objects and mechanics you need to manage. You are given all the guns no matter what your skill, you use all of them perfectly no matter who you are. You carry all you need with no issues. You dont have to make your own choices. The game directs you to everything needed to finish it through the one and only path that is possible.
@@kulsevdasi Yeah, the difference is that system shock 2 is a hardcore computer rpg. Bioshock is a spiritual successor to it but isn't a hardcore computer rpg and is instead a first person shooter.
This is the perfect theme for this level because you spend most of it on a pretty vicious recurring time limit. The feeling of overwhelm and also running is perfect
This is my favorite song from the whole game, with med/sci a close second :D Especially the one spot in engineering where the music really kicks up. ^_^
@mastacheif1 Those audio diaries are great touch. They bring part of the soul of the game. When you listen how horrified people are on those diaries, it gets you. That's also when you begin to be horrified.
One of the smartest games ever made, along with Deus Ex one. Makes everhthing recent seem moronic. I think the graphics look okay too because there is no pixelization and you dont see moving people up close much; so its just flat environmental textures.
I did my last play through of SS2 with ReShade adding a bunch of visual improvements, really enhanced the experience. Can't wait to see what Nightdive does to an Enhanced Edition
@@syloui i think it's supposed to be basically that with some minor additions such as their own (more faithful) updated enemy models and language translations
I just love so much the contrast between the eerie atmosphere that creeps you the fuck out and then all of the sudden you get in the mazes on engineering, you use a speed hypo thing and starts running at light speed with 90s acid drum and bass at max volume while getting irradiated.. this game truly is an experience of its own
Ohh I spend my childhood with this game, at night in the dark, omg I was both scared and exited, but I still kept playing it, now I play System Shock 1 Remake (2023) and we absolutely need System Shock 2 Remake!
I distinctly remember when this played on one of the levels & it fit perfectly with just how confused I was trying to get through the level. Good times, honestly.
i love this song the most :D ! lol imagine having shodan as a computer program in the future and you turn computer on and shodan appears and says goodday insect. >:)
the music is simply fantastic and the game well... i havent played it but fom what i've heard and seen i think it's fantastic too the game developers should do more games like this
All the games that used the "Dark Engine" ended up being awesome, including Thief, and Thief 2. But don't expect to find any of those on sale any where. :(
@Urhed Actually, Bioshock is kind of a spiritual successor to System Shock 2. They were conjured by the same creative minds (more or less) and contains numerous similarities.
the soundtrack for this game sounds like something that could be used for disney's tomorrowland like 10 years ago, before it got all kid-friendly. extraTERRORestrial alien encounter, ect. i love that super tech scifi vibe that tomorrowland gives off. this game has a perfect soundtrack for a scifi game. i'm not too far into it yet though.
+Anton Adelson Drum and bass was very popular in the late 90's early 2000's. The Wikipedia says there were 3 composers: Eric Brosius (Married to Terri Brosius who voiced SHODAN), Ramin Djawadi and Josh Randall.
Anton Adelson Yes indeed as it's my favourite genre. Played this game for the first time only very recently and I feel I missed out on the progression of video games. I still maintain to this day I was born 8 years too late :P This is one of my favourite games.
Anton Adelson 1998, game was released like a year later. Only got into PC gaming a year ago and I've been trawling through a couple of old classics. I'm a big fan of Dead Space so I knew I'd like this, can't seem to get into Deus Ex all that much though. That being said, I love Human Revolution.
I always considered the music of SS1 and 2 to intensify the fact that you are trapped in a place controlled by something greater than you, and it is CONSTANTLY looking for you :)
+GravityZero I also was scared, worst part being the cargo holds. But then I got a grip and completed the game. It has some weird way of holding your interest. Thinking about a second playthrough, just to stand in Engineering under this track. ))
@XamiNaxamis I love both System Shock 2 and Bioshock games. What makes System Shock 2 even more exiting for me is this setting; In Bioshocks you are spliced just like many other spicers. In System Shock 2, you are on your own, a cybernetic-enhanced soldier against hundreds of those biologically mutated by the Many and the only ally you ever find, is revealed to be a megalomaniac AI. This whole setting is biology vs cybernetics, bit more visual and concrete setting than on bioshocks to me.
The soundtrack for this game is very interesting. I considered turning it off as I played through it, but decided against it. That was the greatest decision I made too, because of the atmosphere, when you hear the background music and the random clanks and machinery noises in it, it makes you think there's a midwife nearby or a hybrid running around, so you stop, look around, and the music lulls back down to just the motif, and you realize you're still safe to hack that crate. I love this game.
System Shock 2 without music = moody horror game where danger is at every corner System Shock 2 with music = Hacker goes to DJ Shodan's wild EDM music festival
The music design really was brilliant though, not just because the music itself is awesome (which it is), but because of the Dynamic Music System they implemented to make the music change to fit your location and situation during play!
System Shock 2 is a game where everything you encounter wants you dead and everyone who would have been friendly to you IS already dead. It really adds to the feeling of isolation. The closest thing to a friend you had was Delacroix, but alas, she too was found dead.
The hybrids: "Hurry! Run!"
SHODAN as Polito: Hurry!
The mechanics of the game: Hurry!!
The music: HURRY!!!!!
the planet Earth: HURRY!!!
"I promise not to speed run this game this time."
*Engineering plays*
"JOHN WICK IT IS"
This music is so deceptive. Its actually a (awesome) survival horror, but hearing this just makes you want to storm around smacking everything in the face with the wrench.
TheAeternusLux tried that - done that. What else!?
It's actually starts playing after you enable some engines in the engi deck and then you have to run back through all the corridors with corpses of your enemies and destroyed turrets. I really felt that mixed feeling between the panic and celebration.
It does, but it also gives me this creepy feeling that all of that is ultimately meaningless.
Wait! There's a monkey behind the corner!
That's the beauty of System Shock 2. With music on it becomes an action game with horror elements. With music off it becomes a horror game with action elements. A masterpiece to the core.
This is one game that everyone should be required to play.

This soundtrack was perfect for wanting to get out of wherever you were. Keep moving. Get to the next target. Nowhere is safe..
The most important thing to consider here imo is that the music in this game is dynamic, it changes depending on at least the location.
I love how Eric Brosius just didn't really seem to care that they were making a big scary space horror game and just cranked out bop after bop.
Eric Brosius: "blah blah blah "space horror game" i'm just gonna go make some bass-droppers real quick."
The music becomes even funnier when you're revisiting old areas when most of the work is done. So you're just walking down empty hallways, all the while the music is going NUTS.
It's not really a horror game, it's an action game with horror elements.
@@taylord5381 System Shock had dynamic music, sort of like iMuse, but nobody noticed so this ti9me around they just said "fuck it, enjoy your rave tubes".

"This is Xerxes. The coolant tubes are off limits to all personnel."
1:04 I love how the sped up Funky Drummer was incorporated into the tune. A classic sample in a classic game!
i think there's so many horror games that paint into the genre with silence dripping with tension that we often don't take into consideration horror that stands in the backdrop of total disorder, panic, and noise
this song has a melody (which, those synths totally give a feeling of mystery and slight unease btw) and rhythm, but the loud dnb drums can invoke this rapid, panicked movement that doesn't have time to stop and think (like how the engineering deck forces you to move through it quickly bc of the radiation leakages).
in that rushing pool of panic and noise, there's a mutated henchman shuffling at the other end of the hall. his mind's been hijacked and only his simpler brain functions are running. he's big, strong, violent, and hard to kill; the sight of him heightens your fear and makes your stomach drop
he sees you
he's walking towards you
whether you manage to kill him or you run away, you're deep into this labyrinth of maintenance corridors and it's in your mind now that another one of these things could be roaming in them with you. it might not have that large contrast between quiet build-ups and loud scares, but it definitely leaves you terrified and in dread/anticipation amongst the hissing pipes and the ringing alarms and the kickass dnb
This music may not fit a horror game
but it absolutely fits when you spot a midwife and your blood becomes 90% adrenaline by volume.
I think it does fit the game, at least this song. I only remember it playing in the enginnering pumps or whatever where you have to run around and some parts of the maze are radioactive, and what part of the song plays depends on where you are exactly. The drops seem to play mostly in areas where you don't want to be for long. The song in this video is just the little track elements pieced together in a somewhat cohesive way
it fits the game perfectly in my experience, it's not like the OST is lacking dark and suspenseful music either
It fits the hi-tech scifi tone and visual approach of the game unlike SS1.
It fits like a glove, when you think the game as a cyberpunk world
it absolutely fits and the first game was all 90s industrial music, there's nothing wrong with doing new and interesting things
One of the few games that actually scared me. I had to take multiple breaks and get a breather before trying a level. Sometimes I had to put it on pause when I see monsters coming at me to decide what to do. Lol
I had similar experiences playing outlast.
