Unreal Playthrough - 01 - Vortex Rikers

Level 1
Name: Vortex Rikers
Author: Cliff Bleszinski

You are a prisoner aboard the prison vessel UMS Vortex Rikers, which is taking you (among other prisoners) to a prison moon to which you've been sentenced to life imprisonment on. Sometime during the journey, you wake up in your prison cell but something's wrong. Your cell is open.. all of the cell's are, and everyone around you is dead. Your journey throughout the ship brings you to realize that the ship has crash-landed on an uncharted alien world. Let Unreal begin!

Note: This playthrough is played on Medium difficulty without the use of any sort of mods or cheats. Translator messages have been skipped to reduce length of the videos. If you want to see the translator messages through the game, it is advised that you play Unreal and not watch it :P

this game was scary 2 me wen i was like 5 i shat myself wen i saw ppl playin it

[SkaarjSlayer]

Me too. Out of all the levels, the ones that scared me the most were this level and the final level where you fight the Skaarj Queen.

[wattamack4]

This game never scared me when I watched my Dad play it as a kid, although I will admit some of the monsters are a bit freaky looking (like the queen boss).

I still remember being amazed when I first saw level 2 where you first walk out onto Napali. Such beautfil lands...

How come this level scared you by the way? I'm just wondeing. I can definetly kind of see why on the Queen boss level.

[SkaarjSlayer]

It's the atmosphere the game has, when you play it for the first time it feels so real and creepy that you can actually get scared of playing it, pretty much lol

[Kafkahead]

Anyone here remembers the part where you just listen to the screams of the Vortex Rikers survivors, while they got ripped to pieces by that skaarj? Fucking awesome scene, and yet scary enough.

[johnlewisbrooks]

This game was so well made that it simply EMBARASSED the competition for quite some time.

As a matter of face, this very scene reminds me of Doom 3.

[boomerang2455]

I like how you play the level climatically, Like instead of just running through the level really fast you examine the area, like if you were actually at the crash site.

[EminencePhront]

I like the naturalistic way you play this. Makes it much more fun to watch than someone who plays OCD style, or uses lots of hacks and cheats.

[SlipcasedJayce]

@starwars910 I got that same feeling for both instances.

[SilkyMuggs]

For most levels, I used to just walk around (even after all enemies killed/objectives complete) and just look at the surroundings, and listen to the music. Everything goes together so well. I used to wish I could be inside the game and experience what it would be like in real, it's PERFECT, period.

[NoiseFr3ak]

@W3zZy95 damn me too!! When I was first time playing this, was at my uncles house, he used to have best PC from the village :D I was like 6 years as well and everything was so scary... the environment - the darkness, the sounds the bloody half-dead guy on the chair in the second room... maaan... But I love those memories... This game started my gaming life..

[johnlewisbrooks]

@erikouwehand Oh yeah. If you got a 360 with backwards compatability you SHOULD play this AND get a game called Serious Sam. Watch footage on youtube to see just how CRAZY it is!

[erikouwehand]

@johnlewisbrooks do you still recommend playing this game? never playd this game. only the tournaments games

i was thinking about buying half life and unreal off steam for the summerholiday to keep me busy :)

[iLikeTheUDK]

what's the name of the level with the dead Krall and the log that's translated badly from Krall to English? ("I'll be de-hrangoed for sure...")

[BuddhaMaster84]

I remember I almost had to cry over every of those screams. It really managed to be the most unsettling game-experience ever

[Auronzolo]

I used to play this when i was 10 years old and i got scary by a lot of monsters in the game XD
