Any clue if "Underworld II" from UT99 relates to the beta track "Underworld"?

Post by スマイル・ドラゴン »

I can't really hear anything in UNWORLD2.IT that sounds remotely like anything from UNREAL.S3M or UNDRWRLD.S3M from the 95 and 98 beta demo's to Unreal 1.

Was there any indication that UNWORLD2.IT was supposed to be related to this previous song at all? I find it really odd how it's even called "Underworld II" to begin with.

Yeah Underworld II is great but I never did see the link with the original Underworld. It's by the same author (Siren), that's all I can say.

For me, Underworld II is forever associated with Tomb of Sesmar! Good memories :)

There were many versions of the original song, also the macintosh version of unreal had this song but updated since the 1998 demo and properly playing...(I used it on scorched castle)

But underworld 2 specificaly was not even made for botpack but for the original expansion pack instead...it was probably supposed to be in crypt maps and not in egyptian tomb of sesmar though both do fit...

Does Aliens have the same horror feel as Alien? Nope. It's an action movie. And yet, it is a sequel to Alien.

Same case applies here. Underworld II seems to have the same ancienty theme as Underworld but it's like another track in a series, with a different pacing and purpose.

Sort of like the "mystique" series of modules that was seen used in Uplink? I suppose that makes sense.


Though now I wonder about what Leo said, how this track would fit in a Unreal map.
