I never played System Shock back in the day, not even SS2, I had no idea what this franchise was until a few months ago when I saw some people talking really good about the remake so I gave it a shot. I have to say without a shadow of a doubt, this has been one of the coolest, creepiest, loneliest, action packed adventures I ever had in gaming and the soundtrack really sold me the idea of being completely alone in a Space Station that is trying to kill me in every corener, I stil remember the first time I listened to this tune, there is a sensation of dread, like something went completely wrong and you have no idea what why or how, and then you jump in and every corner tells a different part of the story and the soundtrack just ties everything together so well, for weeks I couldn't open the game and play it just because of the sensation of loneliness the game gives me, SPECIALLY because of the soundtrack and visuals. I am now on Systems Engineering, I will try to take SHODAN out and it honestly feels like one of the best formulas ever made in gaming, truly a masterpiece.
@@godfrey4461 Agree to disagree, the original music is great and fit the SS1 well and would fit this game more, the new music doesn’t play most of the time outside of certain areas
As much as I love the original, I think this new music fits the remake better and more comfortable to listen for longer periods of time/exploration! :)
It is fine on it’s own but doesn’t it fit SS1 at all, playing the demo it lacks so much. Watch this and see how well the original music fits th-cam.com/play/PLsUzRsxvwpYqE7f0b_5qvMmf3E035nZm5.html
Not really, the original would bit better And all they need to do is make it brighter The original absolutely fits and if it wouldn’t then they need to make it fit by increasing the brightness
@@Kelis98 you are blinded by nostalgia. Don't want funky track playing after waking up from 6 months of stasis and finding out rogue ai is/has killed everyone on the station and is going to launch an attack on our planet. This theme has that eeriness of the hacker being alone and discovering. Like actually scary and what is going in hackers mind.
@@Aq-ii8nv Thank you. People who say otherwise are literally nostalgia blinded people who would cry and complain even if the game was almost 1 for 1 the same damn game as the original. If they want the original game, just play that instead. Meanwhile everyone else will enjoy the updated and objectively more polished remake.
@@Aq-ii8nv No, I do. Why should this game be realistic? At its core, what mood do you want? I've had absolutely enough of all these horror games that try to be dark and scary. Part of what made System Shock 1 work so well for me was that arcade feeling. It was high intensity, it was challenging, but ultimately you felt like the most badass motherfucker when you clean a room full of enemies. Even System Shock 2 managed to be much darker and terrifying but still keeping music that makes your heart rate go up. There was nothing more satisfying than entering MedSci for the first time, almost getting killed by a pipe zombie and trying to scrap together anything to protect yourself while that powerful music blasts. It's honestly a huge part of the appeal for me to return to these two games. Also, I love the fact that I can remember pretty much every track from the originals, but here I was pretty much struggling to find what the track actually _is_ - it's too much background music and not really music that will stick with me.
I dont know wtf you guys are talking about, the music for the SS1 remake is excellent! It really does feel like your stuck in space with a murderous AI, and those air guitars give me chills.
I dislike this, it’s fine on it’s own but doesn’t fit SS1 at all, the original music needs to be in the game and would fit the game better it feels lacking without it
This sounds so boring and unimaginative. It's like the devs completely missed the fundamental things that actually made the first game good and worth playing. They didn't even try to do what Deus Ex Human Revolution did. Human revolutions music was also boring droning ambiences and choirs. But they still had snippets of the original music hidden around. There's literally nothing that sounds like the old games in this remake, and I don't understand why people praise it to high heaven. Don't touch System Shock 2.
Music sounds fine to me. The original sounded too loud and more in line with doom than an immersive sim. Devs did a good job making an ost that fits the vibe of the setting and tone of the story.
@@godfrey4461 It's probably an alright soundtrack by todays standards. But the original was - Well original. The new soundtrack sounds kind of just like any other game of it's type, Prey and other largely droning ambience type of horror games. They could have at least tried to salvage the old music a little more, the riffs and the drums were really good and could have used leitmotif to ramp up and down depending on the alertness of enemies (Apparently this happened to small degree in the original)
@@kasane1337 So it's been two weeks lol, and I have been proven wrong about the remake, although I still have small nitpicks about it. Also yes System Shock 2 is amazing, I don't really think it needs a remake though. Not unless they also acquire the thief games somehow.
@@zion6680 Ah, okay, I think I just misunderstood you. I thought you meant that the reader of your comment should not touch SS2, as in "you should not play System Shock 2" instead of "please don't make a remake of System Shock 2", which makes much more sense. My bad.
I'm really pissed that they are doing generic ambient tracks and not the adrenaline pumping, industrial techno bops of the original. Not to say this is bad, because it definitely isn't, but it's not System Shock. It's especially disappointing after seeing that earlier trailer with the track "Ethical Constraints Removed", which fits System Shock perfectly. Gonna be a blow to the experience if I can't mod the soundtrack. I hope we can.
@@jarlwhiterun7478 Stupid cope. Music does not age and original visions need to be respected by remakes by modernizing, not altering them, which is what they were doing before they decided to change the soundtrack's direction on some selfish whim
Music is a very subjective topic, and your comment reeks of “personal expectations that weren’t met”. The original game had a much more subdued atmosphere and ambience compared to the remake, so they could definitely get away with the cheesy energetic MIDI given the technical limitations back then. But that’s not the case anymore and change needs to happen.

Probably one of my favourite games ever. Definitely top 3 for me.
This music is pretty cool. I hope the full game has an extras department where we can listen to remixed versions of the original music as well.
They really managed to put the feeling of desperate loneliness and utter isolation into sound
that harpsichord-sounding melody reminds me of teardrops by massive attack
im into it
That song came out about 4 years after the System Shock did, so I think this "soundtrack remake" still fits that 90s futuristic vibe quite well!
Holy heck, harpsichord is actually spelled like it sounds, I'd have never guessed that lol.
It's finally out! Can't get enough of this.
I love you can hear bits of the original theme in here but I do miss the demo stuff we got before. Still good.
It needs to be the original song
Thanks a lot. This is great.
A callback to the original...but with riffs reminiscent of Deus Ex and Prey.
A marriage of what was, what came since, and what was learned.
Well done.
It needs to be the original
For a remake the original music would be better
@@Shodanpedia Nah the remake music fits much better.

Huge Michael Mccann and Human Revolution vibes
This is very similar to the music from Prey too.
With the music being generated on the fly, I was really hoping it happened to make a good version of the music for you haha
@@ReaderOfThreads 🤫🤫🤫
This ambient track is so good, can't wait to hear more tracks from the game. Currently using it to study!
@@mmmmmmm3246 just start up the demo and let it sit. With the systems currently set up it should be able to play for hours with no perfect repeats
Bruh, why you didn't upload it, Peros?
You did a good job.
Also, I hope to hear in-game "Ethical Constraints Removed" because you and zircon did a fine job with that track.
Thanks for this.
I heard this kind of music on Prey and now on the remake of SShock, I'm gonna dub it "space rock".
bro i got so flabbergasted by this. I felt like i launched prey again
This track sounds better than the previous track.
This is terrific.
Fantastic, thanks for putting this together!
This is 😎
I dont know wtf you guys are talking about, the music for the SS1 remake is excellent! It really does feel like your stuck in space with a murderous AI, and those air guitars give me chills.
One thing is Jonathan Peros don't want to anyone stole it
Air guitars?
Just your typical complainers blinded by nostalgia.
It absolutely is not excellent, it doesn’t fit SS1 at all, WE NEED the original music
Not really excellent, it’s fine on it’s own but doesn’t fit SS1 at all
give me 90s industrial music or give me nothing, this sucks
I dislike this, it’s fine on it’s own but doesn’t fit SS1 at all, the original music needs to be in the game and would fit the game better it feels lacking without it
This is soulless and doesn’t fit SS1 at all
Fine on it’s own but for SS1 it’s terrible
The original music is needed
