It's the end of December 1999/ beginning of January 2000. It's Friday, I'm 13; after doing my homework, I meet with my friends outside, and we enjoy the cold and snowy weather. At about 19:00, we're going home, but before we do, we agree to meet on our LANchat at about 20:30 to decide whether to play UT tonight. There's no light in my room, just the bright glow of the snow falling from the sky outside and the smell of my PII 300 64mb voodoo2 with CRT monitor in the air . I'm creating the game; foregone destruction is starting to play; people are joining-it's perfect.
I wish I had some memories like that! Simpler times. I didn't have internet back then so all my UT memories were from me just playing around with bots! My PC didn't handle UT so well since I didn't have a proper GPU but ah, good memories nonetheless.
Generations. December 1999 you were 13, I was 41. Even though I was a generation older I was doing the same after a work day. TigerZero was my UT game handle. I had been with a UT team for about a year. Low Grav Instagib capture the flag was what we played. My playing skill was great at that time. During 2000 the team broke up. It was time to move on. 2 years passed not playing anything like UT99. New UT had been out. I wanted to try it. Oh the physics was so different. I had lost the skill during that 2 year gap. I felt like a newbie playing it. I'm 65 now. I'll just stick with watching others play and make live chat comments.
@@MalakaiDergplaying it offline was totally cool though.. it was rare for people to have fast enough network connections or any internet at all back then..
@@tigerzero5216 Brother among gamers. The same thing happened to me, but between Halo Reach and Halo 4. It now takes an obscene effort to approach how good I was at older games, which, as we all know, we now don't have. It's been hard to accept that.
This entire sub genre of game needs to come back, the same music, the same atmosphere, this dark world apocalypse World of unreal, needs to come back now.
Absolutely perfect visual transitions between the stages and songs as well as the audio mixing itself. Sad to not see this type of atmospheric dnb in modern games.
Thank you! I was pretty satisfied with the results so I'm glad to see that people like it. And right? At least it's been cool to see people once again gravitating to DnB music in general in recent years.
Das war einer meine Besten Zeit in meiner Jugend, mit mein Freunden einfach UT zocken. Noch keine Verpflichtungen zu haben und den ganzen Beziehungskram noch in weiter ferne. Super schön.
You killed this, thanks a ton for this mix! The visuals are so great and really bring me back. In 2000-2004 I was in a clan, "Elite Zark Snipers". We played a mod that basically gave every player a rapid fire sniper rifle. My name would have been {eZs}zer0skater or {eZs}pr00f. Leaving this here in case any of my old clan mates see this video and want to reach out.
This is an banger mix. I tried to look up Unreal mixes before because I remembered they had music like this but this is one that actualized exactly what I wanted. Very well done
Deus Ex Era soundtrack was something else! Even tho i didn't play Unreal Tournament, the music is a total banger. Not to mention the atmospheric of these games! I honestly think, the issue with today's games is that they try to be as realistic as possible. Games should be an escape from reality, like books!
There is a place for both, honestly. I don't mind realistic games but we surely have got a bit too carried away doing that. These older games also just have a different feel to it because most of the people that worked on them weren't really "game developers" or something. They were just dudes that learnt how to make games and did it for fun and passion. Also, it was a new medium so they didn't have many preconceived ideas about how to do things.
@@MalakaiDerg Maybe you are right. But last year i played Deus Ex for the first time. The ORIGINAL Deus ex from 2000. And even tho the graphic is nowhere near today's standard i've enjoyed it probably like everyone who played it at the beginning of XXI century. These old games...it's not just nostalgia. They have something that majority (but not all) present games lack. Maybe it's that fun and passion you speak of.
Just to add my 2 cents, I agree with both of you!! Yes I play games that are an "escape from reality" (I couldn't get into FF16 because it was too "realistic dark" for example), and yes people were making games solely out of Passion before and it changed now that it got popularized and became a business so more people come in just to get a slice! I watched some documentaries and back in the day (Unreal/Quake/Half Life/etc) some devs literally were not making games to earn money at all (some said they took many years to finally "live from it"), they were just passionate people jumping on this new way of soulful expression, art and creativity, and those are the people I love the most. Today of course there are still such passionate people making games (the kind of niche J-RPGs that I play for example, from studios such as Gust, Nihon Falcom, FuRyu, Idea Factory/Compile Heart, etc - people who are the kind to send heartfelt messages of support to the player in their games and who pour their heart into their games and you can very much feel it while playing), but at the same time I see other games that feel "empty", soulless (the recent FF7 Rebirth being an example, I stopped playing it), I know it's a subjective appreciation but I can't help feeling it. On a side note on this topic of "passion vs commercial", I'm having the same debate with fan works: back in the day, people were drawing fanarts and making videos solely out of Passion, to pay tribute to a game and its characters, to share their Passion with the world, and to help out other fans. Nowadays, a lot of artists are making art of characters because it "sells" and they earn a lot with their Patreon (I won't say what kind of drawings is selling the most but maybe you can guess it), and a lot of people on youtube make videos about games because they will get money from youtube. If they couldn't get money from youtube maybe they wouldn't do it. While back in the day passionate fans were editing videos and making tributes in their free time, as a "hobby", just because they wanted to spread the Passion and pay tribute. People uploading tips or guides about games are a good example, back when you couldn't get money from youtube people were just doing it to help, but today a lot are jumping in out of "lure of profit". There are still people making things selflessly these days of course but it's getting rare in comparison to all the "commercial" content. I don't mean to say I have a problem with people making commercial works and trying to make a living out of their passion of course. I just appreciate true fan works/Passion projects more and in a special way. Because I can relate to wanting to pay tribute to something I love, without associating it with money in any way. I think there's something beautiful to doing that. I know that is a very unpopular opinion to have these days, lol. Anyway, I agree there is more to just nostalgia. I am blessed to know of a time were things were different and more people were making things solely out of Passion, and I wish that somehow that spirit could live on in the future, with the powerful things that passionate fans are feeling. And by the way I love this video, I was listening to it on repeat last night as I did Unreal stuff, it was such a bliss! ^.^
Man the memories, is sad they stopped with UT, cuz of Fartnite, UT was a very successful game ahead of it is time, that includes Half Life 1 and 2, and others, with good soundtracks, like Blade psx, great game ahead of it is time, people hate when we love old games, but there is something in old games, that new games don't have anymore, the cheer creativity, without greedy devs forcing to make content and dlc, more of good and heartwarming developers, who didn't do micro transactions, etc, all was free to play, this is why we love old games, it was a none greedy era, a era were loving gamers was born, now is just money and money, graphics and less gameplay and story, too much dlcs and incomplete games, the way I see it, old times was passionate times, now is just, sight, a fallen greedy era, that even music is trash and dying, I don't care the hate, but old times was joy.
Nice! This is perfect listening for the UT29 concept trailer we're working on. Hopefully one day we'll get a worth next-gen Unreal Tournament game! Keep an eye out. Hopefully wrapping it up in the next couple of weeks!
Downloading issue for Unreal Tournament GOTY. Can anyone please tell how to get round the pirate bay links? They don't take me to the files to download but to a browser advert instead. Or is it worth buying the disc, will it play ok on a modern PC laptop?
Very-very nicely done. Was only a matter of time til something like this was uploaded. But 1 criticism - textures look so bad, especially the guns n items. Next time at least download some modded upscaled textures. It kinda ruins the golden memory of this masterpiece.

Quite possibly my favorite seven tracks from the game, all in one place.
Glad to hear that! I love the whole OST but many work mostly in the context of the game. These are just straight up bangers for any situation
Couldn't agree more!
It's the same for me. This is the perfect mix!

Pretty average mixing tbh
This music is timeless. Futuristic then as it is now.
I like how Phobos's theme has a lot of different vibes in a single track, yet it all still remains very cohesive
A little, chill journey
I love that these UT99 mixes ALWAYS start with Skyward Fire. What a timeless track.
It's so chill but aslo represents so well the space vibes of this game. Might as well!
Unreal and Unreal Tournament forever had a big place and influence of my life.
I feel ya. That's where I got the nickname I ended up using through all my online life and also, my love for FPS games.
This video is My ASMR ❤
UT Tunes to Search and Destroy 24/7
Very nice composition of both, audio and visuals. Nostalgia level max :)
Thank you! Michiel did such a good job with the music and was fun revisiting the maps too.

This mix is perfect
had this running in the backround and was wondering what kinda DJ's intro is that fire. Guess UT is just that cool
@@acrowsnest_t6630 Oh yeah, inspired by the music of those years but with its own flavor. Has held up that well
Very nice and nostalgic!
I didn't even get to experience the UT era and this still slaps
Shame! It was quite good honestly. It played, sounded and looked like nothing else at the time. I feel like it still holds up pretty well
@@MalakaiDerg Yeah, I can imagine :)
UT was twice as fast as CoD
thanks for the mixo 🎵🎶
Good playlist for IT work.

We need an UT99 definitive edition remake with the original maps, playable characters and weapons
If only. Epic doesn't even want to acknowledge the game ever existed
One of better mixes 😍
great mix
We may have aged, but this will always be timeless. ♥
Well done!
ik hou van dit soort house / techno / D&B
lekker...

Nowadays the Atmospheric music really popular. I've upload the Advanced UT99's OST into my channel ( 'The Bloe Domanation') with a similar video.

Good video. But i hear Adam F and Prodigy a little... :)
Wouldn't be surprising since the composers were inspired by what the listened to back then obviously. Late 90s were fun when it comes to music
Can someone pls tell me the name of the maps?
great angled shots of the maps amongst all the other greatness
