Ratchet & Clank - Aridia Outpost X11

Aridia Outpost X11
Ratchet & Clank OST
Music by David Bergeaud

[@rhager842]

I wish that they brought back David Bergeaud to make the music for the reboot.

[@rhager842]

@Smollie Gaming and vlogs Highly doubt that, but who knows.

[@maestrofeli4259]

he didn't come back for Rift apart, but the music in that game wasn't as forgetable as the other future games. Doesn't beat the ps2 games tho

[@rhager842]

@@maestrofeli4259 Agreed.

[@fagglebag]

@TicklingOscars Animation lol it wasn’t, the gameplay was a lot better

[@fagglebag]

@TicklingOscars Animation were you playing on easy lol the first one was definitely harder, largely due to being dated and clunkier but the remake wasn’t a walk in the park. For the most part it was on par with the sequels in terms of difficulty, at least on hard mode. Yes, the writing was lazy but that was somewhat excusable due to it being a non canon reimagining from qwarks imagination. the gameplay was much more refined than the original, though not as good personally as 2 & 3

[@wulfjager7553]

I love how every song perfectly matches the map they play in. The second i hear that first little bit my brain instantly thinks "factory, dark, muddy, industrial"

[@FlyingV555]

This sounds so 90s.

[@Ac-dk9ki]

it is very inspired on electronic music of the 90's like break beat, trip hop, downtempo, etc

[@musahaque2000]

Slow 90s G-funk synthesiser Hip-Hop, yeah basically what you said.

[@superlombax1561]

Indeed.

[@francismcalister7811]

Just wanted to say that almost every track in this game is done using an old 90's AKAI disc sample library named "X-static", so yeah it's bound to sound very 90's

[@thanksgoku]

this song is a BANGER

[@npc_blob1609]

You can't overstate how much of a BANGER it is

[@muttley4034]

This comment has aged well, but i feel like the proper term for it at the making of this comment is. It's a hood classic.

[@kaysenix2343]

It is and will always be a BANGER

[@AnaisIsAce]

I can just hear the flamethrower and slingshot sound effects in my head when I listen to this xD God the nostalgia is so powerful

[@grey4g]

For the sand sharks?

[@gamerguy425]

haha flamethrower go "AHHEEEEEEEEAAAT" and then all the dying sandsharks sound like they're saying "TODD!!"

[@Twocoolman115]

The flamethrower did make quick work of the sand sharks.

[@mengo329]

Aridia was way more visually interesting here than in UYA

[@space.gangsta1178]

Yeah, they barely had any structures or any industrial activity happening in the uya verson. It was just a bland warzone

[@BurninPhoenix]

Because nothing regarding the plot is happening in the planet?? And in this game Aridia was just a battleground for a 10 minute siege side mission only to obtain the warp pad which is rarely used in the game.

[@hsthatzo8063]

@@BurninPhoenix But it's still an elite game, better than the future titles.

[@BurninPhoenix]

@@hsthatzo8063 Of course it is. The first 3 games are my top 3 R&C games. I was just saying that Aridia wasn't made visually stunning or well made because it wasn't an important planet and had very little playtime. Why should the Devs spend time or money to design a planet that doesn't even have a thing to do with the plot .

[@shinkita3062]

What os UYA ?

[@theboldone1961]

I would always wake up from a nap to my mom playing this level and getting stuck on the sandshark part lol

[@marcoscabezolajr.8408]

Bro how that was ridiculously easy

[@offizon4797]

Sounds like a cool mom

[@xzipzang95]

man the original trilogy for ratchet and clank was unmatched. the music, atmosphere, characters, etc, i wish the other ratchet and clank games were like this too.

[@Weensx]

I used to wake up at 6 am as a kid with this song playing in my head.

[@TheGtracer1994]

I can still hear the Artillery Cannon firing in the background

[@elivaldez921]

[@dasnoivern]

I'm playing through this game for the first time and I immediately just had to stop and enjoy this song, it's so good!!

[@AldenDoble]

The bass line on this one goes hard 🔥

[@ULTRAtheCYBORG]

We Need More Music Like This In Ratchet And Clank Games

[@roberty.938]

That mood when the soundtrack went from bright, fast and happy Kerwan to this.

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

godlike soundtrack

[@triledink]

This song sounds like its straight out of Unreal Tournament 1999. I love the R&C series and the music so much.

[@Liquorice_Monster]

Some of the planets in the game feel a lot more familiar, like you could almost imagine places on Earth that are somewhat similar. Others are a lot more alien and surreal, and Aridia is one of the best examples. The soundtrack does a great job of conveying that feeling of otherworldly strangeness.

[@nashrarig4439]

Loved doing the swing shot section without touching the ground to get the Trespasser.

[@lazilylapis676]

You know what makes this song amazing to me? One of the background Sfx sounds exactly like the chomping enemies in this level, which makes it feel like some ambient sounds are included!!

[@malworld.5535]

[@onimasta3632]

One of the memorable OST of the game for me

Good old days

[@diegohoracio4955]

After completing the game thousands times, I used to jump off the elevator at the end of the swing part, doing a backflip.

[@Urrghhh]

The 2016 aridia song is beautiful but this one is just a banger. It reminds me of the 90s

[@RingsOfGeonosis]

Omg I love this

[@srex819]

Beautiful Ratchet and Clank track :D

[@jamesphilip9709]

01:37 Is the best fucking part

[@timtamtomuk283]

aridia was such a good level ngl i loved the swingshot part and the general atmosphere also its was better in rac 1 than rac 3

[@ethosaur]

Its such an eerie but cool track, really feels like you are lost in a weird alien industrial construction site.

[@goobydoo9278]

banger alert

[@lucasarnold6783]

This is how you create atmosphere

[@Chaos-bg3nn]

Best song in the OST!

[@rednax1774]

dude i was listening to the stereo version of this song and it's magical

[@kieranocity]

Ratchet 1 had such a rich atmosphere. Definitely the best thing about the first game that i think weren't in the other titles

[@JPDigital24]

So many memories have came back from me listening to this soundtrack. Banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@HeartlessValiumWhore]

Such a strange encounter on an equally strange alien planet.

[@Di-Immortal_V4]

Iconic

[@CommonNeon]

This game and it's soundtrack is such a banger. Why can't we get the old soundtrack back in the newer games?

[@Zomdra]

Sounds like menu music for one of those PS1 demo discs (that's 100% a compliment BTW).

[@naturesquad9174]

I've been jamming to this track since I was knee-high to a Sand mouse

[@CommanderWolf104th]

man the first few seconds everytime i relisten to this song i get teleported back playing this game the first time looong time ago

[@laurisaarinen1126]

This reminds me quite a bit of "Keep Hope Alive" by The Crystal Method at places

[@yourMALEVOLENCEmusic]

1:38 when this part of the soundtrack came up the first time I played this game I immediately stopped moving my character and thought to myself that this would make a really good riff for a nu metal type of song, I can just imagine it being played on guitar‼️ …I will make this my duty 🫡

[@Blackskies-b1z]

This song slaps as hard as the cello getting slapped.

[@llildrzpyllil5835]

[@sofiamuller9545]

My favorite track on the game!

[@user-dt6bo9zk2m]

[@gaminggladiator06]

some goals are a mere foot away, while the way to progress is more further off. (i'm breaking character here, but did you know that the massive turret in the background is actually firing off robots. take a good look at the ammunition that flies off.)

[@Zomdra]

Just heard this in the latest Guru Larry video ("Game Devs Who Begged you to Pirate their Games"), it took me ages to remember where I knew the track from, glad I managed to figure it out. I didn't recall this track as well as some others from the R&C1 OST like Metropolis, Blackwater City, Gemlik Base or Robot Plant but it is a great one.

[@LegionGeneralE1]

Bro what?!🔥🔥🔥🔥

This and Orxon are my favourites. Lava planet (Gaspar?) close second. When I think ratchet and clank I think these songs.

I know this is also from insomniac but this sounds heavily Spyro, like the sparx courses.
