if they remade Unreal with all the modern techn, would the guys at epic try to keep as much the same as possible and still have the Vortex Rikers being a giant brick?
@RenegadeOfSociety Nah, it would have a lot more detail, but hopefully they'd try and keep the general shape the same. It'd be like the Serious Sam HD stuff.
The fact you are a prisoner, a criminal, someone who screwed up somehow (or got framed) and then understand you have been part of the Nali prophecy all along, the hero sent by the gods to save their planet against "the demons from the stars"... It´s just one of the greatest feelings in videogames ever. =D
When I played the game the first time I was totally scared even in the first level!
It has such a strong atmosphere that I forgot everything around me. I played at night in the darkness. lol
When I used the elevator to get to the lower level with that chair with the prisoner on it I went to the console and read what was written there. All of the sudden these lasers killed him and I was so frightened because it was so loud and unexpected! Just funny! ^^
@blenderpanzi Same here. Especially in the Mothership after you destroy the core and you walk through the darkness, just green fog ... green fog everywhere and then this aggressive music suddenly begins when you meet one of these Skaarj Pupae... *shiver* :S
Probably the most disturbing level in a video game.
@FELIPEPKPK I fully agree. I even started to collect signatures and tried to convince Epic but I think we failed at that. Not enough signatures. *sigh*
@JoakimfromAnka I'm not 100% sure (only about 70%) but I think it was after the Skaarj slaughtered a small group of surivors and you entered that room with their corpses.
@Uziel808 There is no best soundtrack. They are all awesome!
@JoakimfromAnka I have to correct myself. The song started when you left the ventilation shaft and you've entered the bridge. It faded out at the scene when the crew was slaughtered and started after this scene again. Before you left the Vortex Rikers through this hatch it also faded out.
This game was (and still is) so amazing - even from its graphics! It took over 3 years until Serious Sam was released! Before that, not one single game had such a great MipMap-Texturelevel as Unreal had! And the sound and atmosphere is just STUNNING!
There's also a dark ambient band called "Vortex Rikers". It could be an inspiration for this song's title and the ship's name itself.

Everyone talk about feelings the music gives us. This is what this music is made for.
In fact, Unreal Gold's music is great and that's a fact that no one can change^^.
MAKE US FEEL! FEEL THE GAME! FEEL THE MUSIC! FEEL THE LIFE!

Hell you can FEEL the fun the devs had with Unreal..
I pity the fall of atmosphere in today's gameworld, and PITY the youngsters who think COD was the best game ever made...

@Mueiwark Well, the ORIGINAL Call of Duty was OK, as was Call of Duty 2. But after that it just started going downhill =/

Where in the map does the music start? Is it at the armor or something?

Greatest game In my eyes... Try this game with S3TC and 227final, wow. Then you'll really think everything is Unreal.
Pythoniann 2 years ago 5
It's not 227f for "final". 227g is going to be released in the next months.
UnrealPerson 2 years ago 2
Yes, I know that, 227final is just an expression for whatever letter will finish the 227 series. Can't wait for the dragonnnnnnn....
