Changes: - Better track transitions - Seamlessly loop parts of each track to extend playtime - Rebalanced transients and eq with modern-day mastering techniques
The music is on thing I liked better in Freespace 1 over Freespace 2. I also prefer the original FS's story overall. FS2 seemed more focused on "bigger and more"... but then... beam canons
Whaaaat? Well of course is your taste but man for me Beams were an awesome addition to the game and the story leave so much mystery that we never knew what was the propuse of the Shivans.
Freespace 2 was superior in every way. the story was nice, and the aeolius class flak cruiser just wrecked everything anti fighter beams AND Flak Cannons that just go pew pew boom boom suddenly i felt like there was a real space battle going on. the FS1 story is nice with all that 'we don't know what's going on' and 'we might have a chance' now. but i get the same vibes with FS2 - only thing that bothers me with FS2 is that it kind of feels unfinished and really needed a third part :)
@@Xingmey FS2 seemed to kinda meander with its multiple plots. It was still good, but half the time the Shivans felt like an afterthought. Mechanically though, FS2 is superior in every way, no doubt. I do kinda prefer FS1’s music though :P
@@Xingmey FS1 was all about Vasudan war until Shivans showed up then both Tarren and Vasudans teamed up to survive the attacks of a empire that was already both empires superior in tech. You also get background stories about the Ancients. A lost empire that many 1000 years before got wiped out by the Shivans before they could kill them. You later on find thier secrets on Altair 4 that was the Ancients homeplanet. The artifact found discriped how you could beat the Shivans. It told how the Shivan capital ship had no shields inside subspace and how to track a capital ship into subspace. That knowledge then later on wins the war right when Lucifer comes out from subspace in Sol system that are Tarrren homeworld. Tarrens and Vasudans wins the war but the jumb node connecting Sol and Delta Serpentis is cut off and Sol system gets isolated from every colony. Freespace 2 continues what happens in FS1 after the war but this time you got Admiral boss and his Neo Tarrens you have to deal with. Also the discovery of the Knosus portal bring a whole new problem into the game. Meanwhile the Shivans have grown in power and have develped a new ship that is far more powerfull then thier previous capital ships. A juggernaut class. To counter that new threat Vasudan create thier own super destroyer called the Collusus that will help them in the war againts the Shivans. You later on find out the Shivans are getting too strong becasue of all the juggunaunt that slips out from the Knossus portal so Tarrens decide they need to destroy the portal. In the end Tarren command get news about Shivans was building up and army of juggunaunts that no one would stand a chance fighting so the GTD Bastian is used to cut out the jump node connecting Epsilon Pegasi. Meanwhile the Collussus is destroyed in Gamma Draconis to buy time for GTD Bastian to close off the node in. At this point it was now important to reach the Vega jump node with the remaining transport ships that was carrying refugees to the Vega jump now. The 80 juggunauts that was around the Capella sun then used a all new tech to make the sun go supernova and kill off the remaining ships in the zone. The Vasudans/Tarrens then cuts off the jump node from the Vega side of the node and completly seal off the Shivans for good. What happen to Admiral Boss a this point is a mystery tho. But I agree this game is not finished and at least a 3 game should have been made to end the saga.
@@queenbrightwingthe3890 huh, seems i'm not the only one that remembers with strange clarity the entire plot of both freespace's games. goes to show how memorable the games were, i even remember minor things like the GTC Orf that you escort in the first mission comes back in the silent threat as the final reinforcement to destroy the Hades and also being one of the ships meant to engage the Lucifer in the wormhole before HQ realized that capital class ships are too slow to intercept the Lucifer in the wormhole. ...Anyways, Freespace 3 never.
Gotta love this series and Red Faction for using synth music quite well. And in the meantime, the only space combat flight sim games that can match these are Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Freelancer (which is still in abandonware, unfortunately), but that's my opinion.
The atmosphere in this game is incredible. A very advanced and grim future.
Thank you so much for this upload, this brings me back to the good old days when I've played those classics for the first time! 🥰
Fantastic compilation, thanks! Freespace still the best in terms of space combat sims, no small part due to atmosphere formed by the soundtrack
Old Good Times...masterpice...
The music is on thing I liked better in Freespace 1 over Freespace 2. I also prefer the original FS's story overall. FS2 seemed more focused on "bigger and more"... but then... beam canons

the story was nice, and the aeolius class flak cruiser just wrecked everything
anti fighter beams AND Flak Cannons that just go pew pew boom boom
suddenly i felt like there was a real space battle going on.
the FS1 story is nice with all that 'we don't know what's going on' and 'we might have a chance' now.
but i get the same vibes with FS2 -
only thing that bothers me with FS2 is that it kind of feels unfinished and really needed a third part :)

Superb!
*Chef's kiss*
lol I was like "I don't even remember the briefing music."
OH FUCK YEAH I DO!
Fuck yeah, nice one, loved both these games...plus tie fighter....wish they would do a remaster of all them....music made em!!!
super !!!!
Great job, love this.
Aww, you missed Fresspace 1's Ambience 2's second part, which also gets used as briefing music.
Gotta love this series and Red Faction for using synth music quite well.
And in the meantime, the only space combat flight sim games that can match these are Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Freelancer (which is still in abandonware, unfortunately), but that's my opinion.
I was wondering if you could do a mosh-up of FS1 music only :)
The Shivans hate this music
This will be played at my wedding
