Goldeneye: Source

This looks like it'll be a very cool mod if it gets finished. See their forum post http://forums.goldeneyesource.com/index.php/topic,2200.0.html for latest updates, including a gameplay video.

[freakdiablo]

Nice, I liked the n64 version, hope this ones just as good.

[Italidonian]

Wow this looks great....hopefully they don't over-complicate it and ruin the gameplay.

The Goldeneye mod based on the HL2 engine falls into the same category as the Jurassic Park Crysis mod (http://www.moddb.com/games/jurassic-park), Epic Sweetness!

[ziggo0]

It hasn't been updated for quite a while now...especially since they've been re-writing from scratch for the EP2 engine.

[Oc1Kenube]

It does look good but this is old old old news and i would probably put it in the duke nukem forever category

[Oni]

Every now-and-then somebody stumbles across this in a Google search and makes a new thread on it. I think there are about 3 or 4 threads regarding it here now. At any rate, while it looks cool, I doubt it'll ever be finished.

I've been wrong before though. I'm just not going to get my hopes up.

[Mr.Guvernment]

^^ yup, old old news and it is moving VERY VERY slowly.

this is when the Search can be useful

Actually it got a big update recently (Sept 27th) and I have been tracking it for a while, I didn't just stumble upon it.

That's why I said to look at their forum for latest updates :/

I was a huge fanatic of Goldeneye64 and really hope that they finish it. From the gameplay movie they have posted, it looks very much like the original, but with updated graphics and physics ofcourse.

Edit: Ok I changed the thread title to be more accurate, since there have been previous threads about this mod.

[Firey_chasm]

I playedthe beta version a while back, it was fun, and great if you loved the N64 version, but tbh there isnt much difference, and I found it more fun sat around the TV with an N64.

When I oplayed it it was basically identical to the N64 version buit with new graphics

[madhatter256]

The beta is just as good. Hardly anyone is in any of the open servers though...

[OldSkool]

Well, I went on like 4 times and saw 3 people..........

[Mr.Guvernment]

ya, problem is not enough people, it is fun to play for some memories and a great project but because of really bad and buggy early beta's people didnt stick around.

[don'tknow]

Would be even better if they add a single player mode to replay Goldeneye on the new engine. But yes they rushed on the beta releases a bit too much, I mean, not that they made them fast, but that they didn't fix the bugs well enough.

[Oni]

I'd probably be more apt to just play the single player campaign in all honesty rather than multiplayer. I never dug the multiplayer mode much in the original.

Not saying it's a bad game, but the MP just wasn't my thing. I've always preferred my deathmatch on the PC.

[don'tknow]

I never liked Multiplayer FPS with controllers... personally I'm very boggled why the hell 99% of the UT3 community prefers to play it on consoles, which kills the PC community (that's why this game is nearly dead on the PC, nobody online, only like 2-3 active servers), but that's another subject I guess.

It's one of the reasons I would really want to play it on the Source engine... not just improved graphics, but with keyboard+mouse too.

[Dodgexander]

Brings back memories, everytime i play goldeneye, i wanted to watch the movie, every time i watched the movie, i wanted to play the game! I swear if i had the time, it could go on for weeks!

Played source...really wish it would be more popular tho!!

I just wish i could brink back those days, when the n64 was new.

Turok, Goldeneye, extreem g, mario kart, lylat wars...

Goldeneye Source Beta 3 Released

http://www.goldeneyesource.net/

people are saying it makes it far more playable now..


The process all started with the switch to the new Source Orange Box Engine, and completely started our code from scratch


This could make the game look dam awsome now!

[Rick James]

DEF going to try it out

[usp8riot]

I just tried it and loved it. I remember playing it over a year ago and it was buggy but this version seems much improved. Single player campaign remake would be awesome.

[BackBreaker]

kinda dumb if u ask me, there is no cross hair unless u use it with a key and it slows you down and most of the weapons kill you without really having to aim as long as you spread the fire around with the damage being too much, also there are only 3 chars to choose from and not many maps.

Better than any game you've ever remade, I can tell you that.

[usp8riot]

There are no constant crosshairs, just like in the original Goldeneye. That's the point. I'm not sure what you're talking about but there's 9 players I know of and a bunch of maps. It's a faithful recreation of the original, so far, only with updated graphics.

[BackBreaker]

does it have the temple? (aka most played n64 map?) cause people in the server were claiming it didnt.

the original goldeneye had different physics, speed of movement and didnt have mouse aim either moron and you didnt die every 3 seconds in it for every shot of almost every weapon.

[BackBreaker]

it has bond and maybe 2 other character selections.

No personal attacks are allowed. So you need to edit your post. Also triple, even double posting is frowned upon. You can make all those into one solid post.

Same goes with you, there are no personal attacks. Lets keep this clean and on topic.

I'm downloading it now, but the no constant crosshair is just like the original. On the N64 there was no constant crosshairs. And when you used it, it was slow, and overall just not useful. In the previous beta they did have the temple map, and it was very well done. The weapons the original were a little weird, I remember I use to be pretty good against people with my ppk, because I had aiming now, while they relied on auto aim.

[usp8riot]

If you're dying every 3 seconds, it's probably a ltk (license to kill) server. Also, you can get your point out without the name-calling.

[BackBreaker]

the other problem is that there is only basic deathmatch not much in the way of objectives it seems what 007 game should really be like.

[wrxxx]

that looks so fun!!! i cant wait till it gets out of beta!!

[Cheator]

Its been in production for a long time. I played it since it was an HL1 mod and it was ok but never as fun as the real thing

[don'tknow]

Played the latest version the past few days and while the levels/music are well done, the hit detection/damage and weapons need a lot of work. There's tons of bugs with damage which are game-breaking. Like having full hp+armor, and shooting someone without armor about 50x in the face, they miraculously survive then finally shoot you once and it kills (not golden or silver gun either). The ~0.75 sec invincibility in the N64 version that happens between every time you take damage really does not work on PC (why the hell did they put this in) and is causing lots of bugs like this. And with sniper rifle shooting someone in the face 10 times, they still don't die for some reason.

Some weapons are also terribly inaccurate like the Klobb or whatever, it has never actually fired a bullet inside the crosshair... always spreads outside even when doing single shots to snipe with (not holding down fire). Mines are insanely annoying also, should be rebalanced for PC even though I actually like using them (super ezmode).

I thought the mod was petty much dead? The main guy behind it apparently killed himself some time ago.

Edit:


Nicholas "Nick" L. Bishop, 27, Bellevue, passed away on May 24, 2006, at his home. Nick was born December 5, 1978, in Milwaukee, Wis., to Donald and Susan (Davids) Bishop. He was a graduate of Shawano High School. He was employed with ShopKo in Green Bay. Nick enjoyed working with computers. He was also a video-game enthusiast. He worked on a large team that developed the mod Goldeneye Source. He also enjoyed writing, both stories and screenplays.


Nick will be sadly missed by his parents, Don (Deborah) Bishop, Milwaukee; and Susan Davids, Green Bay; stepfather, Bob Price, Wausau; one brother, Danny Bishop, and one sister, Eve Bishop. He is further survived by many aunts, uncles and other relatives and friends.


Friends may call at Proko-Wall Funeral Home, 1630 E. Mason St., on Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. Funeral 5 p.m. at the funeral home. Online condolences may be sent to Nick's family at www.proko wall.com.


In lieu of other expressions of sympathy a memorial fund is being established in Nick's name.

Yeah, he burned himself alive or something. Or maybe it was the toaster in the bathtub method. I don't know, bit morbid really.

But he also wrote this, which is even more strange:

And finally there is a part of me that is really looking forward to finding out the answer to one of life's great mysteries. Is there life after death? What is out there? So many people go about their daily lives unconcerned with the fact that they are nothing more than an ant upon a huge rock flying through a universe so large it can't even be imagined. The universe is so vast, what is my part to play in this thing called life? Nobody knows for sure what happens to our souls when we depart this plain of existence. I am going to find out. I think it's going to be something both unimaginable and great. I will see you on the other side.
Love,Nick

He was probably just depressed. Worked at a ShopKo and was 27.

Umm in my criticism I forgot to emphasize how good the music is in this mod. Some very well done remixes of the original N64 soundtrack:

Played it lastnight. Kinda gay

[Jizzzared]

It was homosexual?
