Descent 2 [Full Playthrough]

[@gatzad]

I remember that intro cinematic being cool as a kid but seeing it all these years later, I’m really impressed with how well it holds up.

[@gallosuelto]

I use to love this game as a kid. It disappeared into my memories and I COULD NOT REMEMBER THE NAME. I searched and searched and after a year and a half, i was able to scrap together enough data from my memory bank to put together a list of descriptions to find this game... Never knew there was a mission to this and I honestly just loved the control you had and the awesome visuals. Oh how I have missed this game.

[@stephenpaget1517]

eph mijo you can buy it on Steam, if you want to play it again.

[@FredericoPagotto]

NIce to see you finally found you childhood game... i know how´s the feeling. I strongly recommend you visit the GOG.com website (Good Old Games) and search much more !! You can buy DESCENT there too (today was 2$ bucks!)

[@haileyscomet9800]

I grew up on this game among others. I now have been playing an MMO called Vendetta Online for about 6 years now, it uses the same 6DoF controls in an open galaxy space sim. Quake, in space, we call it lol. Descent II had me ready:)

Descent 2 intro movie was so amazing back then. My StarCraft name was ZetaAquilae lol, named after the planet.

[@MrAdam802]

I KNOW!!! The Pyro-GX ship looked SOOOO great in that opening cinematic!!... I actually have a 3d printed pyro-gx lol its such a cool design.

[@oglej]

@DroehnIng that redbook soundtrack was amazing, especially for a game from the mid 90's, i've considered uploading a playthough with the redbook audio because there don't seem to be any with it, nothing like having gunner down or are you descent start playing as you jump into the fray

[@pip5528]

@@oglej Indeed. Most people use MIDI with stock soft synth like Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, which sounds most like SC-55 but is distinctly different, and SC-55 sounds better, even dry. Also, I have seen a few people use Redbook, but only Infinite Abyss/Definitive Collection Redbook, which is nice, but not as expansive as the original release. Nobody has done playthroughs of Descent II with the original 1996 12-track tracklisting that I have seen.

[@danwentz]

This intro never gets old for me!!

[@von.3d]

so true

[@ThePrimith]

I'm not the only one? Gave me goosebumps as a kid. Still does.

[@skullkandy12]

It's about time this game gets a remastered edition

[@chainz456]

Love this game !! PLayed it over and over. Loved to park my ship and launch a missle and go by my ship watching it sit there. There were/are many killer user made levels. I remember playing in Kali. Really fond memories. I am going to buy the new Descent game that is about to be launched when it is released.

[@Kaizen777]

Wouldn't advise it.. That game is just Descent: Underground, which failed horribly even after gaining the $600k from their kickstarter they wasted trying to develop the game. Not to mention it's not made by the original developers what so ever, unlike Overload, which is an unofficial but true Descent 4.

[@chainz456]

@@Kaizen777 Just played it and it's great. It's rolling toward launch. descendentstudios.com/community/blog/31/entry-451-descent-rolls-towards-the-launch-pad/ There are former players helping with the game. Testing and reporting bugs. Overload looks great but it is dead. There is no more support or updates. Here's a link about it descendentstudios.com/community/topic/5255-just-saw-that-revival-studio-is-shutting-down/#entry45687

Oh yeah. I remember Kali. We played over IRC before that but I forgot the name of actual application that did IPX-TCP-IP convert.

[@PlutoTheGod]

It’s taken me YEARS to find this game again. Still looking for a few others from my childhood, this honestly is just as cool and confusing as I remember.

[@aceofblades4279]

Do you remember some key points of the games? I grew up with a lot of dos games

Where can this game be downloaded....... Me and some workers were in a clan, would love to play it again

[@Kaizen777]

Thanks

[@PunmasterSTP]

I only played the first Descent, and that was years after it came out, but after starting to come to terms with the controls I just loved the sense of speed so much. This playthrough was really fun to watch; thanks for uploading!

[@Act.Random]

aaaah.. raised on this game. every day after school :D

[@functionform]

Damn just as cool as I remember it. I remember getting stuck for hours occasionally unable to find an exit in this game.

[@MrTheZMAI]

Call me 'a rookie' but I always release The Guide

[@CptMagnus]

The gameplay, music, sound and atmosphere is real, but I think it's the mod that really makes it look and feel as cool as I remember it. That's what I love about people who do these kind of things. Awesome mod, awesome gameplay and awesome piloting.

[@ThCreativeVideoGroup]

Thank you for posting these! You brought me back to my childhood, playing D1 and D2 on my Mac PowerPC tower. Seriously awesome piloting! ✌️ Please do a Descent 3 video!!! 🙏

[@awizard2006]

My friend, you and I had a similar childhood LOL. I remember being kind of bummed (initially) back then in the 90s when my Mom and Dad opted for a Mac PowerPC instead of a Windows PC due to the jobs they both had which had them using Apple and Macintosh computers daily in the workplace. I remember the beastly machine came with 32 MB of RAM too, LOL. I remember flipping through the included MacOS Software that came with the computer the very first night we got it home and set up, and included in those endless pages of CD-ROMs was a game I had never played before nor heard of before, called Descent 2. I installed it, started playing it, and was literally blown away at how badass it was. Descent 2 caused a shift in my gaming habits, from casual to full-fledged sweatlord (or gaming god, as my friends and I called it back then). I became addicted to this masterpiece of the FPS genre. Friends of mine would come over during the summer, and WATCH me play this game, hoping to get their own turn on the keyboard and mouse, which they did, well, sometimes. Watching this gameplay brought back so many good memories of my childhood. When I saw your comment about the Mac PowerPC, I was like "Hey another rare PowerPC gamer" and I just had to add my story. We were few in numbers, but we were just as dedicated if not more so than our Windows PC counterparts. Your comment literally made my weekend LOL. Thanks man.

[@kilroy987]

3:29 System 1 - Rock 26:44 System 2 - Water 48:01 System 3 - Lava 1:45:22 System 4 - Ice 2:38:27 System 5 - Gold 3:30:37 System 6 - Emerald 4:07:52 System 7 - Final Boss Best game in the series, I think. I hated the minigun and missile robots of Descent 1 - they usually spelled instant death for me. Descent 2 calmed that down by replacing the minigun robots with gauss cannon robots, and the situations created with any missile shooters allowed more of a response. Descent 3 was just bleh to me. Hee, even in Descent 2, huge bases explode like a moon does in Star Trek 6. 2:40 With my interest in computer graphics and knowing what they could do, I always took notice of how perfectly the ship comes to a stop in relation to the background. I like it when the composition of a scene expresses some technical credence instead of just keeping things moving in an offseting way for a mood.

[@pauls4522]

I agree, and descent 3s ship mechanics actually always felt worst than the first two games to me. Did you ever have the issue where the ship always wants to re-oriented its position to actually being more like standing on the ground?

[@MattFloridaMan]

The SOUND the Vulcan robots made in D1… I hated it so.

[@solventtrapdotcom6676]

I like how hard Descent I was....

[@bigchunk1]

This game was incredible. I just love how this guy knows exactly where to go. When I was a kid, I thought the part at 2:35:50 was impossible. I had to get my Dad to help me figure it out, but we did end up beating it.

[@terif8285]

So glad that I found this! I remember playing Descent 2 in the late 90s, and for the longest time I couldn't figure out what the name was. Thanks for the nostalgia. :D

[@bormisha]

It's a pleasure to see such a professional play. Man, you must love Descent 2 so much that you studied every aspect of each level! The "Hot shot" difficulty seems to easy for you. It's also nice that you played the soundtrack with a great variety of sound fonts, making it entertaining. Really well done.

[@Scaithule]

If this looks professional to you then you must really suck. It’s not even on max difficulty.

[@Scaithule]

It’s basically normal.

[@3May]

@@Scaithule this is a clunky run for sure. it's good for nostalgia.

[@davemuckeye1516]

Your excellent execution makes the game so much more intense... it's going to be a shame to reach the end of level 30 lol...

[@jimsalmon5158]

I remember playing this game with my friends in high school. We set up a network game in the school’s computer lab, put the game on Insane mode, and proceeded to blow each other up! One of the highlights of my childhood!

[@internetuser6602]

Wow! I had forgotten this masterpiece. Reminds me when I play with my uncle when I'm a child. This game is so good

[@kenhenderson4750]

Thank you for making this. Thought you'd like to know someone is still using it. Without it, I'd probably give up. Me and my buddies played hooky from work and bought it when it first came out in the nineties. I did play through it but I don't remember anything from when I first played it.

[@Streetsy]

I bought a really expensive joystick so I could play this game. I beat it too. The 360 flying, the map system and the rushed exits… great game.

[@colinjones5379]

hahahaha that kill on the ice boss was hilarious. Especially after he turned around to look at the incoming missile right before it killed him XD

[@АндрейГришенко-д7к]

That was a pleasure to watch. You don't use plasma cannon much. It is better on energy than laser, good damage and faster fire rate (obviously). It is really the most optimal weapon in the game. Flairs are a waste of energy. Better to turn on headlight. Vulcan cannon is useful in lava levels. Laser is good against medium slow moving bots. Helix is a killer on large bots. Same as me on missile use, I always end up with a pile of unused missiles but I hardly ever used fusion cannon. Omega is useful against pesky swarmers. It was really funny when thief actually managed to steal something. Poor bot signed its death warrant. This game was a beast to play online and single player, even on hardest difficulty seemed boring. I remember toying for hours with the last boss before putting out of its misery.

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

I've beat all four versions but not at this rate. In D1 the the level 7 Boss was the worst of all the Bosses is all the versions, it was bastard to beat ! Highest difficulty I could go was hotshot and it took hours to beat each level and I had to use the guide bot in D2. In D3 the room where the exhaust jets force you back to the floor took a long time to figure out, I think that was level 10. D4 was pretty good too though I was never able to play the game with this level of proficiency. Also played the user designed levels which came on the D1 or D2 disc, can't remember which. Thankfully I beat them all but it took a lot of time and frustration. You sir, are the THE pilot ! My hat is off to you !

Yes cockpit games, and joystick and thrust levers for steering and input were liked during these times, beginning with Descent, Falcon 4.0 the Flight Simulator series and dozens of other flight sims.... before these kind of games rapidly died off to almost ZERO in 2006 or so. Now we have new stuff, Ace Combat 7 for VR and a new Flight Simulator will arrive soon.

Dude you played this like a boss. I was never this good. I usually got lost and frustrated and gave up, lol.

Awesome memories! I used to play this game so much as a kid! Highlights would be using mines to kill the Thiefbot @ 6:15 , using a guided missile to finish the ice boss at 2:37:30 My only critique would be MORE MISSILES! (smart and mega missiles in particular) But your gauss cannon shots, in particular, were so accurate it didn't really matter; that weapon is definitely a strength of yours, wow! I personally loved to use the Phoenix canon to bank shots around corners. Also, @Kaizen Kitsune I'm not sure why, but it seems you don't like the Omega cannon or Helix?

[@Kaizen777]

I mean, Omega's cool and all.. but it eats too much energy. Helix is really powerful but like the Omega and Phoenix, your energy is gonna get depleted so fast lol

[@АндрейГришенко-д7к]

@@Kaizen777 Yep. Phoenix is good for tactical applications, not as a main weapon.

Descent 2 is my favorite game from the 1990s. I still love my Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 at the tail end of the 1999, but Descent 2 is my goto game when I think of prime 1990s shooters.

[@Terensworth]

I still go back to your Descent 1 longplay every once in a while so it goes without saying that I'll enjoy the sequel. And hey, Gauss is just glorious to use, only problem is ammo... Sometimes...

[@kilroy987]

Yeah, I remember the level where absolutely no gauss ammo was provided, and I had to manage my energy stores. Whenever I could, I tried to keep my energy at 100 so I could juice my shields when I picked up more energy fragments. I tried to remember which level came before it so that I could conserve the ammo in case I needed the gun in the next level.

[@w3pa]

Damn, this really brings back memories!

[@BlindRobotDragon]

These games are awesome. I first heard of Descent when I was 7, and instantly liked the ideas and concept, then immediately thought the sound effects were really cool when I heard them for the first time. I never got much experience with Descent 3, but based on things I've read about it over the years, the response to it seems to be rather mixed. Some people like it, some hate it, and there are even those who can take it or leave it. I have no vision, so playing D1 or 2 on my own was off the table, but I could play with my dad or a buddy of mine. Playing with my friend was always more fun, because my dad would get dizzy and nauseous, then turn into a real jerk, yelling and screaming and cursing at everyone and everything around him, myself included, yet he would keep on going in spite of what it was doing to his eyes and his mood. I can't count how many times he threatened to uninstall/delete the demo versions, or throw the disks of the full versions in the trash. How it worked was I did the shooting of the primary weapon, and the sighted person, either my dad or my friend, would handle all the rest. When I heard the word "fire!" I held down the left control key until I was told I could let go of the key. Over the years, I've occasionally watched Descent 1 and 2 videos on KZbin, just for fond childhood memories. Even though I'll never be able to play this, it's like I'm playing vicariously through whomever is posting the videos. Hell, if I knew someone in my area who had it installed and set up in a way where I could do the shooting, I'd probably play it again... I guess I can't say "play," more like assist lol.

[@Oblitee]

Perhaps a dumb question, but how do you apply the newer game patches to D2X Rebirth? I've installed the latest from Dxx-Rebirth homesite, but ingame it says my game version is still 0.61 beta or something. I've tried applying patch 1.3a and also this 1.4.x3 (that is in this video), but without any success. Always the same error, telling "SDL_mixer.dll was not found", if I'm trying to run the game using either of these patch files. The reason I'd like to update is that the game crashes too often at this moment. Anyone know the solution for this?

[@Kaizen777]

So, the retro executables aren't actually patches. You're supposed to throw them into your rebirth directory and use them instead of D1x/D2x-rebirth.exe Hope that helps. ^^

[@Oblitee]

@@Kaizen777 Oops, my bad. I was using wrong terminology here. But yes, this is what I've tried. Even renaming the executables and replacing the original d2x-rebirth.exe (just like oldschool cracks were operated with). This is where I'm getting the error message. Seems nothing is working.

[@Oblitee]

Ok, solved the issue. Just to inform anyone else having the same problem; It seems you need to install the old version of Dxx-Rebirth, namely the 0.58.1. Only then are you able to run these versions 1.3a and 1.4.x3. Too bad this isn't mentioned in the Dxx Rebirth's homepage, so it isn't obvious on the get-go. :/ However, I'm having problems to get my savegames from that previous version working. I wonder if it even is possible to move pilot-data and savegames successfully. I've tried a bunch of things, and failed every time... EDIT: Might have solved it.

Back in 1996 graphics cards and the first 3D accelerators on the market were not that powerful as today, so the game ran slower. Nowadays the gameplay looks very smooth and enjoyable at 60 fps in max resolutions!
