GoldenEye:Source

Posted by Zonk on from the no-skool-like-the-old-skool dept.

Might E. Mouse writes "What do you get when you combined the James Bond atmosphere and classic gameplay of GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64 with the cutting edge graphics of Half Life 2? GoldenEye: Source of course! I'm not sure how this one is going to avoid the lawyers shutting them down, but there is an army of volunteer modellers and level designers hoping to just have a bit of fun recreating their favourite game." Copious screenshots, nice looking.

  1. 4 Player Split Screen? by larsoncc · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hey, let me dream here for a second. I have enough USB ports, and enough friends (shocking, I know)... So, how about a 4 player split screen mode? Heh? Heh?!?!

    Oh, or... They could make a 4-player split screen mode where all your Internet buddies see your screen and visa versa.

    Ummm... Look-at-your-buddy's-screen cheating goodness!

    Oh come on. Don't act like you've never done that.

    You know, it seems odd how a group of random fanboys can recreate one of the greatest gaming experiences ever with just some spare time and donations...

    ...and yet, developers with their multi-million dollar budgets and years of development can't give gamers what they want.

    It just goes to show that corporate-folk are FRIGGIN-IDIOTS. (seriously, all we asked was for GE64 to be re-released with better graphics and maybe some extras. That's all. We didn't ask for this "Rogue Agent" crap. Do you hear us at all? EA? Nintendo? Rare? ANYONE? JUST TAKE 5 MINUTES TO REHASH AN OLD GAME AND WE WILL GIVE YOU MONEY! idiots...)

    If this project gets shut down, I vote for revolt...

      Rogue Agent was made by a completely different company from who made GoldenEye. The rights to the James Bond franchise were redistributed.

      For those who don't know, the spiritual successor to GoldenEye on the N64 was Perfect Dark, on the same system. The sequel to that is called Perfect Dark Zero and is a launch title for the XBox 360.

      I dont know about Perfect Dark Zero, but Perfect Dark (on the N64) was even better than GoldenEye.

      I agree, the Timesplitters games are definatley spiritual successors to Goldeneye.

      I'm surprised it hasn't had more kudos really. It's a fantastic deathmatch game, with tons of weapons, characters and game modes. Although TS2 (at least, I haven't played the others much) suffers from the console game problem of having to unlock stuff through single player play for multiplayer, which can grate a bit.

    The point of mods is that you can make whatever you want to. The fact that we can see some good-looking "shameless clones" on the horizon less than 9 months after the full SDK was released is a sign that a lot of things are possible. If you want to see such innovation, all these tools are openly avaiable to you and whoever shares your vision.
