System Shock (2023 Remake) Soundtrack 

This game deserves WAY more attention and praise than it has currently. One of my absolute favorites.

At first I thought they had gone for a more ambient soundtrack (which actually makes sense, the ambient music improves the creepy mood of System Shock), and I was a bit sad because I enjoyed the electronic midis of the original, but then I got to the combat soundtrack... Holy crap it goes pretty hard. I like how they managed to do both.

Executive track is a masterpiece.

I really love how as the game progresses and the hacker gets closer to challenging Shodan the guitar becomes a stronger and stronger part of the tracks, beginning to overpower the electronic instruments that dominated the early game tracks. The clash and struggle between the hacker represented by the guitar and Shodan represented by the electronic instruments reflects the games progress in a really beautiful and interesting way. The differences between the combat and base tracks of each area really highlight this as during downtime the guitar is more present, the hacker has room to breathe, prepare and improve. Whereas in the combat tracks deep bassy synths, overpowering synth leads and electric drums completely swamp the guitar. Combat is where Shodan exerts control and it isn't until later tracks where the guitar begins to fight for an even footing in the mixing. In combat tracks the guitar lingers under and sweeps in and out with gasping breaths while caught in the wave of synthetic instruments until Flight Deck, Executive and Systems Engineering when the guitar begins to find a powerful voice. Stellar soundtrack. Just wish it's what we had on spotify.

Definitely been a great year for me playing these remakes (System Shock, Black Mesa, Resi 4) but System Shock was something truly special. No handholding, no direction, just dropped straight in with nothing but your own wits and intuition to get through it. How video games are SUPPOSED TO BE! 👏

I love how everyone unanimously loves the executive themes because I remember being SHOOK when I was playing through the game hearing these themes. Like it’s the kind of music that makes you really feel like some shit is going down. Glad everyone else feels the same way. Opulence and Ostentation is just the kind of track that really makes you feel like you’re progressing.

I love the Executive themes

Although it seemed to me that this game was somehow difficult in terms of goals, but after finishing it completely I was so upset that it ended. One of the best games this year

system shock 94 system reshock 🤝 exec being the best track in the ost

Freaking great soundtrack imo and I absolutely love the use of the guitars in a lot of the tracks. So sick. I swear when that Mantis Cyborg first appeared I did almost shit myself

Been waiting for someone to upload the full OST as it doesn’t shine much in the game for some reason. Thanks a ton, man!

I love the subtle references to the original soundtrack.

I actually extracted all the music from the game and was going to do something similar to this myself. Thank GOD someone else did it because due to how the music is constructed in layers and meters internally with the dynamic music system. it would have taken a day or two of me in FL Studio to put this all together from just the audio files. Thanks for saving me the work lol.

Low-G Experiments (Reactor) is an amazing low key tense atmosphere builder. Love it!

Has a kind of Starcraft 1 vibe to it. Old school, but more fitting and still pretty damn good.

guitar sounds on Reactor BMG is so good.

For better or worse, that damn elevator music is what you'll remember most!

I'm playing this now.. I'm a huge fan of the original looking glass game as well as the 1999 sequel.. its been years since I played games on the PC.. the tension & atmosphere is very intense..

I really like how the cyberspace music sorta harks that synth tone used a lot in the SS2 OST.

Containment Failure Warning really sounds like H.U.V.A. Network I love it.

52:20 One of the best.

This is my personal game of the year, and I absolutely love its soundtrack. I like how each track incorporates bits from the OG game's soundtrack. I ESPECIALLY like how the music gets more aggressive as you progress through the game -- it's as if the music unleashes itself in parallel to the Hacker's progress.

the intro is a masterpiece

Burgeoning empire of steel is great, executive level is great... this entire games soundtrack is great.

The combat music is like the perfect blend of the modern ambiant tracks during exploration, with haunting tones and a unique retro-futuristic feel, and System Shock 2's more extreme electronic style. It's literally blending the best of both worlds. Very difficult to pull off properly, so happy it works well!

Never heard anything like this before, the atmosphere created by some of these tracks are especially spine tingling to me

Who is composer? This full soundtrack is incredible

I'm playing through System Shock for the first time and I love the music! I've heard it's different from the original, but still it's sooo good 😍.

Gives me some veeeery slight Prey'17 vibes with the guitar in some spots.

awesome soundtrack, the first one after intro (Medical) really sets the tone, it creates an amazing atmosphere right away. One of my favourite from the OST beside Executive :)

Very deep and atmospheric. It harmonizes well with the setting of the game.

Thanks so much for this! Great soundtrack, I wish it featured more noticeably during gameplay.

Cybernetic Canopy is genuinely one of the best tracks in the game, the ambience as you explore the groves is... perfect

"This is what you want, this is what you get" - Ancient Corporate Motto

Not gonna lie, I spent a solid 10 minutes just jamming to the Reactor music when I finally had enough time between hopper spawns to get to the melody.

damn, wish there were boss variants here, with the electric guitar

Thanks for uploading, been looking for these legit everywhere.

Throne Room of a God goes hard and I wish it was twice as long as it is. Should have been the final boss theme.

Thanks for uploading this, boyo. There's one track in there I might be able to use a portion of for an upcoming video...

Groves combat and executive are SLAPPIN'

best remake ever

Executive theme goes hardddd, my favorite level for sure.

Intro goes fucking hard. Dope remaster of the og intro song

Ss is remake masterpiece.

For some reason I'm listening to this and imagining Frank Herbert's Dune. This ost is such deep diverse masterpiece for me.

Strange to hear that the cyberspace track is GOOD remix of original, but others don`t give a damn about past. Man, original reactor remix would be a great, but something go wrong.... Hope there will be mods for music.

man what an excellent soundtrack! Reminds me of Prey

I have no nostalgic connection to the original, some tracks in that are absolutely marvelous, like Research and then the Security/Bridge, but this is more fitting. Very atmospheric, very much helps the setting of Citadel Station to be even more creepy than it is. The dynamic music works very well for combat, nothing else to say really. A job well done.

"Domain linked" tunes well with my endorphine injectors.

Pretty incredible! Thanks for uploading this

This is surprisingly good!

never noticed how much of the original soundtrack they preserved, loved that one

Its a great synthwave/80s feeling soundtrack.

reactor combat hits it as it used to be

01:29:53 That elevator music are give me more chilling and preparing :)

Absolutely fantastic score. As catchy and iconic as the original tracks are, this new sound fits the isolated tone of the game so much better.

This is missing some of the Doom Eternal style combat music that plays in Security.

This is a certified hood classic

good music is a good sign of a good game good.

ngl that intro music with the drone POV got me headbanging hard

i love how some of the elements from previous levels join the steady bass guitar in security, the leitmotif in this game goes deeper than people realize.

I loved walking around in game when the combat soundtrack wouldnt stop but I couldnt see anything trying to kill me.

Medical theme is literally perfect

Interesting how a lot of the melodies from the original peek through, most distinct on the Reactor & Executive floors... Although imo, the Reactor floor's industrial robot-rock was iconic & a great fit, and they should've leaned into for the remake

Don't know why everyone loves Executive so much but my favourites are Security and Bridge

Itsounds like Michael Mccann's Deus Ex HR soundtrack

I don't understand why people are sleeping on this soundtrack so much. Obviously it's apples to oranges with the original, there's no crazy live multichannel procedural MIDI blending thing going on, but it's a REALLY great soundtrack. The NIN influence is really strong in both versions; the 1994 one is just more "Pretty Hate Machine" where the 2023 one is a bit more Berlin-era Bowie, Tangerine Dream, "Ghosts I-IV", Dragon Tattoo soundtrack type shit. and the composer makes nice, nuanced use of a handful of themes from the original soundtrack. idk, I just hear a lot of folks talk about this game like there's no music at all or that what's there is bad and literally neither of those things are true. I love the sort of "Steve Vai, ebow in space" thing, it very much gives early 90s cyberpunk. I like the way it takes on djentier, Doom 2016-ish elements without becoming really tacky, overdone dubstep that many composers tend to score contemporary cyberpunk stuff with. It's just a straightforward soundtrack as opposed to a fancy interactive thing, but it's a damn good soundtrack that matches the updated game perfectly.

This OST...It's like portal 1+2 mixed with no mans sky ambience, Doom, and Time splitters. Weird but awesome :)

Incredible soundtrack. Great game!!

36:18 Certified Banger.

Track 1 giving me goosebumps. Also interesting how some of the old sound effects are mixed in with the tracks.

Cyberpunk 2077,Ghostrunner & System Shock. I be eating good

the ost reminded me alot of the prey soundtrack

Weirdly enough I haven't encountered like half of this stuff. For example in the medical I only heard those synths bells, but never the bass line... Also for me usually battle music consisted only from one synth proggression, which sounded pretty clumsy

Brain-meltingly amazing soundtrack.

Really like the low G experiments theme. Having the synthesized steel drums sounds cool !

Sounds like Front Line Assembly.

Reactor is 🔥

some of these like Groves are a massive improvement, though the OG Executive and Security themes were too hard to top.

Very solid score. I'm glad they hired decent composer for a decent remake.

The best game of 2023 year

Thanks for the upload

Sooo where can I buy this soundtrack 🥲

I always listen this playlist when i debbug with mess code

Well First of all, that ost performed rly good. I especially like smooth transition from non-combat themes to combat. But if feels pretty... generic. Like most of the idle themes can fit in other games and settings. Like you can put It into something like R6 Siedge menu or Battletech game and they will fit just fine So, ost dont feel that It belongs to sci-fi game. Olny in some combat themes you can hear electronic bits like bips, clicks, beats, etc. Im comparing It with SS2 ost, and SS2's one completely obliterate this in terms of sci-fi atmosphere, combat tension, feel of unsettle. SSR ost feels mostly relaxing, even combat themes gives you feel like "oh, thats combat music, oh, thats an enemy" Aaaand SS2 ost speaks clearly: you gonna suffer and there's no cover Again, its not bad ost, at all, but not exactly sci-fi one, not distinctable like SS2 ost

Masterpiece

To take that original soundtrack and make this out of it, seriously fantastic.

The elevator music - in the midst of the most atmospheric, nerve wracking game of all time you then step into the lift and... Damn if this isn't the single greatest piece of lounge music ever written.

Awesome soundtrack, definitely a huge contributor in how good the game is.

It's a genuine travesty that the audio for in-game music is so quiet even when set to 100%. It's fine if the music doesn't sound like a 24/7 rave party like the original but man, it's like the audio designer had it out for the composer.

So grove does have a track just it is bugged and dont play during the stage.

this shit is so funky

While the Elevator music is about as perfect as it can be, I wonder what happened here with the rest of the System Shock music? The original game had such a catchy and iconic soundtrack and it's mostly absent throughout the game. It's not that the music is bad but it's just holding itself back and even barely there during most of the game play. The music playback is also heavily leaning on the ambient tracks. The choice to go with ambient music is what I have most problem with as instead of creating scary or oppressive atmosphere most of the time the music just kind of is there minding its own thing in the background. System Shock 2 pulled the ambient tracks so incredibly well that playing a any of the tracks instantly sets the mood. Here I get... nothing.

I loved original sshk soundtrack, i also loved enhanced remix. This one through out the game went a bit unnoticed by me. During game play i really missed the original tune. Not that this one is bad, but came a bit too ambient for my taste. Only 3 tracks really got my attention elevator, executive and cyberspace. Though reactor main theme was ok, could have been more darker. But soundtrack was overal good, other sounds were very poor in game - mutants, mutated animals , robots they didn`t gave me thirlls like the original Sshk

Most of the tracks that play in the game don't sound anything like what's being shown here.

I honestly prefer the original soundtrack because it had such a beat

I don't get the hate for this

Nah

451

the battle music in security sounds nothing like it does in game. there's no guitar like in game.
