18:12 I had to banzai charge with everyone in a full server once and man it was so epic! We took all the capzones of the map before the americans could retreat properly, they were disorganized and surprised. We had like 12 minutes left when we won. This music was clearly made for the Japanese charge! TENNO HEIKA, BANZAIIII!!!
Listening to this makes me want to play this again. I remember the first time i actually sat and listened to the soundtrack, I was just stuck at the menu screen for 10 mins because it's so amazing! This and Halo 3 never forget gets me all emotional haha
Games can be just as touching as movies or books, in fact there are games that are considered art, not just because of their gameplay and interface but also from their soundtracks and amazing story telling
23:03. This part of rising sun hits me especially hard. I can just think of the hopelesness of the japanese empire. It took just a few battles and hopes were destroyed. Not saying that they were the innocent guys though that went trough the struggle of a war. The americans went trough hell on every Iland despite having the advantage. Either way rising sun and Banzai are my favourite tracks.
@@SJ-xb7lg some of them tortured people, ripping off their fingernails, pulling teeth, cutting off their tongues and beating them until they were unrecognizable.
@Drift King TM Nope they did the same n Taiwan and Vietnam. They never reached India but invaded Burma but what villages they touch in South East Asia they killed the men and raped the women and children. The survivors were enslaved as forced labor or as sexual slaves (assuming they weren't brutally murdered during the rape as often the case). The Indonesians remarked that 4 years of Japanese occupation was worse than the centuries of Dutch colonization.
The American music is so underrated _even compared with the Japanese music!_ It captures the feeling of weariness and a contrasting quiet, humble heroism so well.
I've always had the in game music switched off, what a mistake. Just... Fucking... What a game. Even when I'm not playing games anymore this is the one I'll remember, as well as TES:4.
To say the least, I think it is worthy of being a deemed a bridge between the cultures of both the east and the west. I don't feel the shakahuchi loses any of it's character, beside the tuba and violins, they all do their part for the better whole of the song. Never overstepping their bounds. I propose we as human kind learn to articulate our differences in such a graceful and in touch manner. We will have a wonderful future if we truly understand this amazing soundtrack and it's potential. I would love to read a Japanese opinion on the Rising Storm OST. Wish everyone of you a blessed 2021, putting that good out there.
This soundtrack is what made this game a piece of art. Without the music it is just a game where you try to capture some marked points together with your team. With the music you become soldiers working together to free asia from the colonial powers and bring it under the protection of the Japanese Empire. For a small moment you're filled with the same feeling as those soldiers back then. Sure, without any of the conscious reasoning behind their actions, but most of our actions are driven more by the emotions our reasoning produces anyway. This music gives you some resemblance of the emotion those soldiers must have felt back then, and it helps you to understand actions you may previously have been unable to understand, because we can see the soldiers as they saw themselves, instead of what we perceive them to be, pawns of a cruel war mongering expansionist empire.
@KonstantinKonstantinovic-xf3qt It doesn't but that's likely not how they saw it themselves. They probably saw themselves more akin to shepherds stepping in to lead Asia (without caring whether Asia wanted that or not) after China failed to stand up to the Western powers. Ensuring tragedies like WW2 never happen again begins with understanding what caused them to happen in the first place, and I feel like this game helps put you into the mind of a Japanese soldier a little.
La música es muy bella, magistral, pero la guerra es horrible, sufrimiento y dolor en los dos bandos, no debe suceder jamás, es mi opinion. El juego es muy divertido, juego a menudo y es genial. Saludos desde España y paz para todos.
The Rising Storm soundtrack was made by Chris Rickwood who wrote the Japanese score for the soundtrack and Lennie Moore who wrote the American. Sam Hulick wrote the soundrack for the original Red Orchestra 2 www.rickwoodmusic.com/rising-storm-original-soundtrack/
Never really realised how amazing a soundtrack this game has while playing. Too much else to worry about on the battlefield. But it's good to come and appreciate it here. Thanks for uploading it!
This is a very sad history people. If the last samurai had won against the imperial forces, people would never die for the emperor, banzai, or Tenno Heika Banzai would've never been existed in WW2. WW2 in Asia would have never happened, simply because there's no rally head, lives of millions would've been saved. We would see a much, much more peaceful Japan.
This reminds me a lot of Band of Brothers.Which to me is the best WW2 series I've watched.It was short but really action-packed.Agood series to watch consecutively if your bored.
@@thekaiseriswiser4451 Generation War is basically apologist, "Clean Wehrmacht" myth supporting bs The Pacific was alright, but not as good as Band of Brothers
All in one place. Brilliant. Love the music in the game, and the general atmosphere. While RO2 is about your dude being scared as shit and miles from home, RS is about being a fanatical bayonet charging, suicide grenading mentalist.
I am sure some of the vets already waiting us there to join them, and we will join them soon enough after an enduring and hard fight through life. R.i.p Plupp and all others who fell before their time. Won't reply desactivated notifs for comments.
Does anyone know who made the soundtracks of Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2? They all sound so fucking good. Are it people inside Tripwire Interactive who made it? Or is it an orchestra somewhere that got hired?
Red orchestra is referring to the russians "red army" not germans. I would definitely say the games theme is surrounding the russians more than germans.
I hate the soundtrack for the Americans; it sounds like it belongs in an HBO drama. For the Yanks it should be dark and still Asiatic - with a gear to causing a grim and fearful feeling. RO2 vanilla captures that so well; just a general feeling of despair. Rising Storm by contrast, going on the soundtrack alone, is almost SOOTHING.
