The "senior elder" was totally on our side. Given that the others started preparing for their invasion pretty much as soon as the martian public executed him, he was probably the only thing stopping them from invading Earth.
It's superb. It shows that the Martians are actually peaceful having not had wars themselves for millenia, but are forced to invade Earth out of sheer desperate necessity. It's also very often used in the War of the Worlds Musical Live show.
"The age of disillusionment and decay is over." (the first line in the game) "...and early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment." (from the novel's first chapter)
I just noticed that during the POV shot from inside the fighting machine, now that the lines were removed, you can see some sort of liquid dripping down the side of the martian. A disgustingly cool detail, too bad the lines obscured most of it.
The source describes them as glistening, although this is an illusion. Most likely the pilot is "sweating" (I don't think Martians have glands like earthly animals, but still some form of excretion) from a combination of, as you mentioned, the earthly climate - the source took place during a sweltering summer - and the fact that they haven't had to use these machines for extended periods in over 5,000 years. Short jaunts across the Martian surface is one thing - staying in the cramped fighting compartment of a weaponized/modded glorified taxi for days is another.
5:28 Martian: "This is unacceptable" Me: "Unacceptable? You've launched an invasion on a foreign planet and you're surprised that the aforementioned foreign planet's residents are fighting back?"
It was used during the initial Arena UK Tour Run back in 2006, the Martian’s appearances were heavily modified to make them look more convincing and indeed more terrifying.
This takes me back. Many hours spent playing this game, got so close to conquering London and then... life happened never got to finish the game 😢 To life immortal, comrades.
i still have this game but as each of my pcs went kaput due to power cuts outage newer pc set up could not play it but recently i bought a second hand sony viao with floppy drive dvd drive and older windows pre loaded so looking forward to playing it again
The beginning where the tripod is walking across the Martian desert together with that version of that music in the background made me think of a Spaghetti Western… I’m still expecting Clint Eastwood’s voice to suddenly say: “I don’t think it’s nice you laughin” :D
It was actually a variation of Holst’s ‘The Planets - Mars’ mixed with leitmotifs of both ‘The Red Weed Part 1 and Part 2’ from the original 1978 album.
@@Nationalisten they look too small to be flying machines, and also too small to be martians. also, can you guys like not attack people just for being furries
It's still grainy, fuzzy, and blocky in places. I don't think any amount of AI upscaling will improve the cutscenes, as the source from the game was to bad a quality to begin with. The original, uncompressed source from Rage Software would be better to work from, but getting a hold of that is probably impossible at present as the developer is now defunct. Still, this looks far better than the games original cutscenes. **Edit** This was uploaded a year ago, so maybe it can be upscaled better using a better AI upscale program and algorithm, and in 4k as well.
If this was remade today, I'd imagine the Martians were looking at the Earth through a egg-shaped crystal, based on the short H.G. Wells story The Crystal Egg.
Then came the night the first missile approached earth, Hundreds saw it but they thought it was a ordinary falling star. Some say that it traveled with a hissing sound Others say that it landed with a green flash However next day there was a huge crater in the middle of horsel common and ogilvy came to examine what lay there A cylinder 30 yards across glowing hot and with faint sounds of movement coming from within suddenly the top began moving rotating unscrewing and ogilvy feared that a man inside trying to escape he rushed to the missile but the intense heat managed to stop him before he burn himself on the metal
While I love how this shows just how desperate the Martians were of needing a new home which started the invasion, I also love how this also subtly tells you just how ready for war Humanity is. The Martians haven't needed weaponry for over 5000 years which means they have had no wars for as long of a time. Mankind on the other hand has been at war with itself for (As far as I'm aware.) as long as we have existed. Technology may be inferior but our capacity for warfare far outweighs theirs and they invaded expecting it to be nothing more than pest control. So they were in for a good thrashing when they first arrived, but they learnt and adapted, which is why they still defeated Humanity in the end.
I think that Jeff Wayne's aliens are the Martians, as it shows their meeting on Mars as they plan their attack plans on planet earth. These aliens are the Martians anyway
-These scenes are actually from a game that never made it to market. That is a pity as I would have loved to play it. Cough new world? Learn our history and you can see how the story came about.

W senior elder
I love to hear more Martian lore like this, or theories.
You know the last straw was when he started saying things like "diplomacy" and "trade."
I didn’t really noticed that the first time playing this:O really interesting!
Do love replaying this game

I agree.
I was surprised that it wasn't included in the 2022 Life begins Again tour
Kind of scary to think that the Martians were technically using weaponry that would belong in a museum in their civilization history
Bro the " we have not the need for such destructive weaponry in over 5000 years." hits hard af (thanks for the correction)
5000
5000 and also yes
Nice to have a clear HD version of this without the weird lines of the original footage.

I always thought it was him sweating mars is way colder compared to earth so I don’t think he was used to the temperature
Time stamp?

4:45
Just noticed the crowd is still there if you look closely, as black dots.
Needs another sweep of the Deathly heat ray
Those are their ashes...
Bro’s out of reach
i want to play this game again....someone really need to bring this game back and even better
Game?
@@kyleyoung2464ye this is a game
@@kyleyoung2464 yeah it was a game from the 90s based off the musical
God what we all wouldn't give for a remaster.
An opening that wasn't used in the original musical from 1978, until it came to the stage.
It was used during the initial Arena UK Tour Run back in 2006, the Martian’s appearances were heavily modified to make them look more convincing and indeed more terrifying.
3:05 a rare acknowledgment of the other Martian species in War of the Worlds.
This takes me back. Many hours spent playing this game, got so close to conquering London and
then... life happened never got to finish the game 😢
To life immortal, comrades.
5:57 he sounds like a James Bond villain
i still have this game but as each of my pcs went kaput due to power cuts outage newer pc set up could not play it but recently i bought a second hand sony viao with floppy drive dvd drive and older windows pre loaded so looking forward to playing it again
This game definitely deserves a remaster. Maybe even use the actors from "The New Generation" / Life begins again tour
Anyone else feel a little bit sorry for the Martians?
3:18 bacteria: let us introduce ourselves

Am i the only one who hears "Mars: The bringer of war" in the opening?
No, I hear it too!
Throughly enjoyed this. 😍
At 1:48 is the Martian voiced by Alan Rickman? I could swear that has his unique vocal delivery. Anyone know the cast?
What are those flying things at 0:53 birds? I though the atmosphere was uninhabitable in the jeff wayne universe.
i think theyre just Flying Machines being tested for flying or just martians using flight pack
They were likely a bird-like species that evolved to a degree to live on the surface
@@Nationalisten they look too small to be flying machines, and also too small to be martians. also, can you guys like not attack people just for being furries
@@levthemapperxdhe didnt attack furried?
Drones?
This scene blew my mind as a kid, and its just as i imagined it
YOU WOULD MAKE A GOOD DALEK!
Im impressed those martians have sexy voice
they sound almsot robotic like theyre talking through a voice modulator disguising their real voices
They really do

Is it jsut me or does the hydrogen exelorator look like a martians tripod foot
Why is the aliens keep saying ulooooooh

Did the AI tool add "teeth" to the Martians? I never saw a detail like that in the original clip.
What are the chances of anything coming from Mars?👽
About a mill

3:06 I assume that’s one of the Martian’s’ humanoid livestock. They must be testing out the black gas on it. Poor little guy.. 😢

"The humans must be more powerful" yup.
Bro I need a instrumental version of this😂
I didnt realise that they killed a martian until i saw comments talking abt it
If they are so peaceful they haven't had a war in 5k years, how come it didn't occur to them to try and rent a piece of Earth or something first?
They sound and look like Daleks
In the New Generation album, they sounded like Vortigaunts (Half-Life 2)
"What is happening, there is no signal."
“Perhaps the pod’s signal source was unplugged by the Humons.”
The worlds of the worlds tripod how was your might have tripod

Now imagine this with the Martians using Gen Alpha's Slang
We are all hideous

What are you talking about? That game got released for pc and PS1
It was released, I played it on PC many times, and still have the CD's.

I'll take the shoddy, low definition but authentic looking version over this AI airbrushed, fake looking crap on any day.
