Fallout: New Vegas Ambience - Sierra Madre Fountain

The screams of ancient songs, mingle with the howling warnings to get out of the area, for bombs are dropping. The Sierra Madre is frozen in time, forever.

The Sierra Madre went from my least liked DLC to being my favorite. Finding love for this DLC isn’t the hard part… it’s letting go

[relentlesschaos]

I should've never smoked that $hit.
Now I'm at the Sierra Madre

[mrnewvegas-nq]

dead money dlc is more haunting to me than any horror game. fallout usually isnt so creepy but something about the atmosphere actually makes you feel trapped and scared

[revoke]

It’s like our mental is trapped but physically we’re not. Scares the shit outta me

[sidmeisterwerk]

I left my Heart in the Sierra Madre ❤️

[sirfirebrand]

I would unironically love a recreation of this dlc as a standalone horror game, with tailored gameplay to match i think it would be an amazing experience

There is so something so particularly disconcerting about this background theme to me. The corrupted, ghostly wailing version of Begin Again really gets me.
There is just something spooky to me about, like, that has been playong since the bomb dropped. That speaker has been playing that song, on loop, to no one, for 200 years. The voice of the woman who the resort was built for, who is dead at the top of the casino. And you've just suddenly appeared, hearing something no human has heard in literal hundreds of years. The speaker is barely holding together, the song is almost entirely unrecognizeable, but it doesn't stop playing, echoing through the dead streets. I imagine it isn't a near speaker either. Just some lone, decrepit speaker, still choking out that song, in a forgotten corner of the resort that no one goes to and likely never will.
I dunno, that's the image this track puts in my head anyways. Something about it creeps me out a lot. Love this dlc to pieces. I love that they managed to fill the streets of a "City of the Dead" with ghostly wails without it actually being real ghosts. And it still feels unnatural. 10/10 dlc.

feeling chills, truly unnerving and immersive stuff. crazy how much you can remember from the game just from hearing this...

[midouban]

A place built for entertainment, fill with laughters and joys now abandoned and hidden by it's neurotoxic cloud, wasted away. Ocasionally you can hear a faint laugh as part of the ambience in the distant; was it came from a Hologram or haunted ghostly echoing from the past of a by-gone era.

Even though its a game, I still find it strange how a sound system in a fountain and a bunch of wall speakers that where originally alarms in the Sierra Madre still work even after having been left on for so many years. Real speakers would last a good 20-50 years, but ones that are constantly exposed the Cloud which I've learned is corrosive those speakers would never work. Plus, if you found a very old speaker and tried to power it, I guarantee it would explode. But yikes, to hear that damaged music playing in the fountain sends chills everywhere.

There are no ghosts in Dead Money; no paranormal sightings, not even a single mention in a note.

So why do I find it all so haunting?

[thehalomaster]

this dlc has such crazy atmosphere to it, almost feels like a fallout inspired horror game at times with the ghost people lurking n shuffling around in the streets. meeting dean domino and seeing him turn out to be one stone cold mfer, and interacting with dog/god presents a very interesting dilemma morally and ethically wise. every year i get older the more i appreciate how well done this dlc was. say what you want about the gameplay and the alarms (didn't mind it personally), but the themes and overarching story of dead money was spot on. 5/5 writing and story telling

[davemac]

This is one of those examples where a games hardware limitations can be used as an advantage to make a truly captivating and gritty horror vibe. It’s also about style and the little details that uphold an atmosphere like the music and background noises.

[vokunrogue]

This sound, if it appears, its the only actual sound that i hear in my dreams. I used to only hear my dream NPCs conversations before, but every time i have a dream about a creepy place i hear this ambiance...

[Blancherive]

I think that is the most dangerous place in all the wasteland that we know

[someonestoenail]

I remember getting so used to this ambiance I used to get freaked out 2 am creeping around the house for water

[muffinman]

I dunno what's scarier in this DLC. The weird, crooked enemies, creeping around corners, tryna hunt you down, or the dark, friendly neighborhood, gorilla mutant that runs as fast as a train towards you from a distance in this foggy labyrinth of a township. Anyone else who experienced "The Joy of Creation"'s alpha gameplay that involved SUPER heavy & meaty metal footsteps runnin' behind you as you run from inevitable death? That's how that mutant runs towards you, except without the heavy footsteps but rather a massive shadowy figure aggressively approaching you.
I HATE that mission because of that, lmao ;D

[Cnw]

I seriously want to add this to 7 Days to Die's soundtrack. Imagine hearing Vera's distorted ambient voice in the middle of one of the cities during horde night!

[captainpelmenientertainment]

casually the sierra madre ambiance songs also sound in vegas strip
