Solar Fields is just the right mix of breathy and futuristic, without feeling too generic like most techno/trance is. They have various rhythmic mix-ups to ensure the mix never gets stale, while still managing to keep it good background music. Not even Daft Punk or the Tron: Legacy's music producers could do passive ambience this well. They showed up to Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. It's just a shame that DICE didn't.
I liked catalyst but there's nothing like the first one, the concrete, the light, the 2000s design of buildings and cars, the construction sounds everywhere, the feeling of an ominous clean, harsh, city. It wasn't futuristic/cyberpunk like catalyst, but the japanese and russian letters made it look like a city of a parallel universe or something, and also the 2008 nostalgia *sigh * edit: there is no russian letters, my bad. I think I got confused with half life 2
That's exactly what that I thought was missing in Catalyst. The first one made you feel like a dystopia that could exist in our world, it felt real. From the fresh painted concrete to the solar panels on the rooftops, it had a very grounded feel to it.
@@andarax8 it felt like any modern city just insanely clean and devote of most colours. I bet if someone loaded up the levels and added paint that one would find in real life, dirt and grim the place would feel like today's(2008) New york or other EU city.
2008 one of the best year's for gaming so many great games released that year and a lot of nostalgia from that time the first mirror's edge atmosphere was something that couldn't be recreated the city had a great aesthetic look.
Bro its so good to know you exist. Knowing that some people had the same weird feeling with you. I wish we were friends and could talk about these things :,)
Is it weird to miss somewhere I’ve never physically been to before? I feel homesick. I feel like I’ve felt this city before, smelled the concrete, felt the sun paired a nice warm breeze. Like I’ve ran these rooftops before. Mirrors Edge will always be one of the best games ever made.
Yeah, it's a strange feeling. It's like I feel at home in this virtual city that I can never go to. Maybe it's related to the childhood nostalgia. Who knows.
Same, this is why I keep coming back to this music or game, this is why I modded the game so it removed any limits so I could explore the rest of it, I don’t know why but I always felt drawn to this place.
Well the first of many I'm doing for this game. I have about 15-20 videos already recorded and will try finishing the game before Cyberpunk comes out in December. A lot of the music is going to be just basic extensions but there are some that will take more time to tweak and mix together properly. As with Catalyst no requests are required considering I already plan to do most of the game including some mixed music and background ambience videos. I had a ton of requests to do this game over the last year so I finally decided to play through it recently. I enjoyed Catalyst a lot more but I still enjoyed the first game.
Curious to know, which titles had your favourite ambient tracks this entire generation (2013 - 2020) & especially the one/ones that made you passionate enough to start this wonderful YT channel?
the art design of this game is breathtaking. It is so visionary that even now in 2023 it looks edgy and different. It hasn't aged at all. This is one of the best games I have ever played. music , grpahics , gameplay simply perfect. Thank you Johannes for art direction.
50:35 my favorite part, this view around the corner looking down at all the taller buildings ahead and on the sides, the way the sunlight rays radiate in between buildings
This music is a perfect start of the day. It's also superb for listening when you're on an airplane flight... not during take off, but rather when the airplane is slowly leveling off and is above the clouds. Heaven!
I remember when this game came out when I was in HS definitely was one of the most distinct visual styles of a game I have ever seen. Always thought Mirrors edge was absolutely gorgeous. The beauty of the city makes me almost want to live in the Dystopian city almost....
Everything is made out of reflective white surfaces, mirrors and a minor touch of very light shiny colors like light blue, light orange, light yellow etc. , It is genius The music is chill and ambient perfectly fitting the design, colors and setting the proper mood for the game This game completely changed the way I look at things, i am making sure that my apartment looks as shiny, white, colorful and reflective as mirror's edge It is as really beautiful design, me and my friend call such colors (mostly reflective whites + mirrors + light colors) "Twixtor colors"
Just saying, For the past week I've had this particular ambience on loop while I work, play games and sleep. I've done a week's marathon of listening to this and I've never felt so chilled out. I loved this game but I have really slept on the OST here. I'm glad I have the chance to do this now.
This is incredible. The UK has just locked down for another month and I have just found your channel, having Mirror's Edge ambiance in the background is going to make it much easier, so thank you, stay safe and stay happy.
Exactly what I am doing. Got up early today morning. Flight Pope cutscene for 1 hour. Had a coffee. Then some English practice. Flight combat music, 1 hour. Then it's nearing midday. Edge daytime ambience , 1 hour. Yes. Voluntary home quarantine. It ends for me on Friday. (Our goverment is corrupt and hasn't ordered a full lockdown yet. But I had been packing COVID-cadavers 2 weeks ago. Forcibly removed from a children's hospital where I had been working. I quit my 'job'. If packing cadavers means 'job', I'd rather be unemployed. I'll survive. That's what we do. As Faith would say. I'm doing a 2-year medical translator-interpreter school, though. So not just idly sitting at home. Fortunately, we have been in a digital classroom since September. But that's an isolated case. Nearly every school is still open in Hungary. Callaghan is in denial. There's no Pope in sight. Many stopped fighting. Accepted everything. But I am doing what I feel is right. I didn't choose a comfortable life.
@@MultiNatla faith probably would be for the exact opposite of what you want… this game is literally about oppressive governments. What’s oppressive is the lockdowns and mandates
@@TheCakeIsNotLie Yeah and there's no way you'd escape that many cops with guns if they really did shoot at you. On the plus side, in the UK it seems like they don't even use guns unless you're a serious threat
As a game 'not my thing' (The 1st person parkour gave me serious, horrible motion-sickness) but, boy.. was it STYLISH! That harsh light, the clean lines, the minimalist use of colour. Fantastic! Music was also great. Didn't finish more than the demo, but bought the full soundtrack nonetheless.
Эта игра не стареет… приятные цвета вперемешку с красивой графикой и приятным звуковым сопровождением. Хороших игр с элементами паркура и по сей день мало.
I remember playing through the vanilla Mirror's Edge, and how I couldn't take a proper look at the City. Now I know how it looks. And thanks again for these wonderful music videos of yours!
Merc: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure the birds are real impressed, Faith. But once you've finished showing off, you think you might concentrate on some actual work? Gettin' Celeste in position for a hand-off. You need to get the delivery to her. She'll be near the communications tower ahead of you. Nice work Faith, you're making good time. Celeste's almost there. Just keep heading towards the Comms Tower. Give her the bag, and she'll take it from there. You're taking your sweet old time, Celeste getting pissed, she's almost at the Comms Tower, and you ain't! Get movin' and give her the bag, Cel will take it from there.
hello! i wanted to if it would be okay to collect screenshots from the various mirrors edge videos you posted since i want to upload examples of how well done the interior , colors and world design of mirrors edge , with of course giving credit to these videos!
It will probably sound stupid or impossible,but i'm still looking for a flat on the top floor of a building that looks like this to live in ^^ one can only dream right?
Hi! I wanted to ask if I could possibly use a couple minutes of this footage for a project I’m working on. You’d be credited, obviously, and I make no profit off of the project. Let me know, and love your vids! Thank you.
Merc: Get to Celeste, there are more Blues on the way. Celeste: Come on Faith, CPF on your tail! Hey, throw me the bag. (Faith throws the bag to Celeste) Okay, I got it from here. Faith: K, they're playing rough Cel. I'll be fine. Shit. Get out of here! You gotta get off that roof Faith... Don't care how you do it... just do it! (Faith catches the landing skid just in time) This was meant to be a low-key job, why the hell were they shooting? What did you do Faith? Nothing! They just opened fire! Dunno what the hell's happening... I'll ask around. Get your ass back to base, Faith.

They showed up to Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. It's just a shame that DICE didn't.
These are thoughts I had for years that you have only now put into words.
I wanna be there so bad..
Breathe, breathe deep! One of the best games from a better time!
Mirror's Edge was one of the most atmospheric game I played. Congratulations to DICE and Solar Fields.
Mirror's Edge was peak DICE. Their most original game at a time when the studio was pushing boundaries.
Agreed! One of the best games I've ever played! I have an Xbox copy and PC copy!

I have the same impressions from the first ME. Stunning visual design. And breakthrough graphics and gameplay for 2008

When I first played this as a kid I didn't process this ambience as music, I always thought that this is just what the city sounded like.

I know it’s a bit late but it’s exactly how I feel lol

It's a city that should have been, if we haven't made a wrong turn somewhere in the past.

Bold of you, thinking Cyberpunk 2077 will actually come out in December.
Thank you again, so much, for doing all of these. Been listening almost every day to them.
Thanks for all your mirrors edge (catalyst) ambiance video, they really help me get started in the morning :)
I can feel the heat radiating from the blindingly white rooftops.
it’s actually around 57 degrees in game

It's a timeless work of art!
Feels good to be back at the start. Thank you as always.
Hey you're a runner too
Oh man, can't wait until you reach Kate's puzzle level. Always loved how magical that part of the game felt.
Which one? I've forgotten
@@festive5476 the long climb up a tower under construction
@@festive5476 The atrium with the relaxing puzzle music.
Kate puzzle music still owns me to this day
The sterile white buildings, the deep blue skies, the bold primary colors, the Solar Fields tracks.... TAKE ME THERE
50:35 my favorite part, this view around the corner looking down at all the taller buildings ahead and on the sides, the way the sunlight rays radiate in between buildings

I played the demo in 7th grade and immediately knew it was going to be a unique work of art
Bro same😂 none of my friends saw the appeal in it back then because it wasn't COD
GA are you running for president?
Because your approval rating is soaring.

I made a few Mirror's Edge Catalyst items for my room. Might need to make some more as my current room doesn't really fit the lighting fixture. Sigh
@@RennieAsh how did you make them

This has that perfect ascending/elevating sort of feeling, mixed with a powerful ominousness. Brilliant track!
Yes!! Ive been waiting for you to do the original mirrors edge for a looong time. Thank you so much, we need more! :D
Yeepee! More mirror's edge ! :D
Speaking of, in your catalyst playlist, back in the game v2 appears twice! Might want to rectify that.
We edging with this one tonight, boys.
AWW YISS! We're getting ME1 as well!
Golden pantheon game, incredible sounds.
Still waiting for Mirror's Edge 2. This game deserves a sequel. The soundtrack was also ahead of its time!!!
There was Mirrors Edge Catalyst a few years ago. Although it's more of a remake than a sequel
@@michak2942 Oh yes thanks for reminding. I might check it out soon. Happy halloween 🎃
@@soothedinsomniac7653 its a very good looking atmospheric game much recommended. happy holidays
Catalyst is cool, i only found out about it because I got the comic book at a comic book store some time ago
@@erickjoestar1561
Jealous!
Oh my god, yes! This is good stuff, can barely wait for when you release the Flight music
Omg Flight music. @Gaming Ambience thank you so much. We all rejoice.
For a game made in 2008? This is Extremely good Graphics and mechanics! It holds up really well!
Love the soundtrack of this game, can't wait for you to upload "heat"
One of the greatest games ever
Oh my god yes!! Many thanks for these! 🙏🏻
Ohhhh goshh !! Sooo good thank you for your job 😎😊
good for studying
So relaxing
Yes, dude! many thanks. First ME is what we need too ;D
Beautiful

Just sunshine and blue sky.
