GoldenEye Source BETA3 Released!

http://www.goldeneyesource.net/

If you loved GoldenEye on the N64 your gonna love this game. Basically a cleaned up version on the Source engine. I had a lot of fun on this a few years back, there were some servers with PerfectDark maps. It really captures GoldeneEye and is a lot of fun to play. All you need is one Source game and your good to go. Hope to meet some of you folks on LTK server.

 

ah Golden Eye classic game played that all the time when i was younger
i dont have any source game, but i will get around to getting The Orange Box at some point

might check it out when i get TOB

 

Downloaded it randomly the day it was released (beat 3) and I really like it, not a fan of the larger servers, but the smaller ones (2-8) players are really fun. The soundtrack is AMAZING

 

Is it free?

 

Yes (10char)

 

Downloading it now!

 

Its free as long as you have a (1) Source engine game on Steam I believe. Please feel free to correct me. You can get a Source engine game off of steam for about $5-$10 (Half life 2: Deathmatch or Half life Source: Deathmatch).

 

maybe its possible to get Half Life 2 Lost Coast which was a "demo" of sorts for free somewhere.

thats a source game

 

Could someone enlighten me on what a source-game is? I loved Goldeneye!

 

http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/ <- gets you some free stuff, and LCM99 Source games are games built on the source engine (hence the name) and include Couter Strike: Source, Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and so on.

 

Amazing, but whats the difference in this new release??, I remember playing the mod several years ago. Goldeneye is my favorite FPS, so anything close to the real game is great.

 

I played GE:Source a few months back and loved it. Downloading Beta 3 now!

 

Sweet, thanks for the info and the link!

 

So I need to buy a steam game t oget this to work?

 

Firstly some people seemed to be confused. You need the original full version game first before you can install the "mod." Not the demo. It is modded for Half-Life 2 if you read their mission statement. Games having the same engine does not mean this mod will be compatible with others.

The mod is free as any other mods, the game itself (HL2) is not, unless noted otherwise

 

I had this back in it's alpha stages, but I haven't played it in a while. I'll have to check it out.

 

Wow i didnt even know this existed!!!! +rep

 

Check out the theme song the remade:

Its towards the bottom.

 

this is not true.
i didnt own Half Life 2 and i was playing this mod months ago.
just own anything Source.
NVIDIA users go get the free Lost Coast and Half Life 2 Deathmatch from the link at the bottom of page one and it should work...

 

I just downloaded it! I'll try it either tonight or tomorrow.

 

It's fantastic. Movement can be a little bugged at time, but I'm not complaining.

It stays pretty true to the original (which I just played a little while ago ).

 

Crash, I think I'm playing with you right now...name's Ash Williams.

 

Haha yup! Saw you a little while ago

The mod is pretty well done.. brings back some good memories Ok, now back to studying

 

Thank alot for this

I think I remember playing this ages ago, back when i was a little kid
I definately remember playing the re-make on the PS2, and can't wait to play this

Thanks alot

Thanks alot man
I never knew I could could get half life 2: deathmatch for free
This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
And Lost Coast

 

Downloading now.

 

great find thanks. downloading now.
i didnt seem to get peggle extreme for some reason. ive finnishe the orange box so its great to get some add ons.

 

im having problems
its loaded fine but it just wont open. got the orange box loaded so thats my source game.
ahh,hang on a minute. ive got the orange box on disc. does the orange box have to be downloaded from steam for the golden eye to run???

 

You need...

open steam > tools > source SDK orange box (needs to be the OB version) > restart steam.

 

cool, downloading it as well...

i seriously doubt it can get me off of TF2 though

 

thanks Johnny T
trying it now.

looks like im outa luck.
cant find source SDK orange box.
im loading the source dedicated server now to try that.
nope still no good.it only gives the option to load counter strike source and half life 2 deathmatch.
sorry for being thick but above you stated needs to be the OB version,what does that actually mean.
ive got all the orange box games loaded from disc but there is no mention of them in steam.

shall i just give up now while im loosing

 

You're not missing much, that game was weak.

it's exponentially worse than golden eye. only thing it shares is it's name....

it feels like counter stike with golden eye weapons and bad controls

 

I liked it a lot... and what do you mean bad controls? you can change them to whatever you want, personally the soundtrack is more than enough to play.

 

Extremely simple and extremely fun. Every map was a trip down memory lane. I can't wait till next week, some friends and I are setting up a LTK server.

No PerfectDark maps up yet, I want my Grid (Matrix rip off map)

 

the way the characters move

 

exactly i will make a petition to let this thing win mod of 2009 haha i had alot of fun playing this last night i couldnt go to sleep i had to throw myself off the chair to stop really really fun. The golden gun is ticking me off though haha

 

yeah, thanks for the heads up on this! Played some this afternoon, and loved it! Absolutely loved Goldeneye back in the day, this is great!

Now I just wish they could throw in the singleplayer story mode... i can't even count how many times I played through that!

 

The fun of the original was the small number of players and the fact that you could see the other guys screens.

This is a whole different game style with so many guys, and I don't like it. It could be any random crappy PC shooter.

 

Since when is cheating fun? My friends and I collectively got pissed off when screen watching happens.

 

Played this today for a bit. I had only ever played Beta 1, which was good but it certainly needed a ton of work. This new Beta 3 is an enormous step forward. Everything seems to function beautifully! There were some lighting issues for me in the caverns map (the whole level would go black sometimes, but the flashlight worked until it reverted to normal). The proximity mines are impossible to spot if your graphics are blasted. Truly an awesome mod.

 

I guess you're not an old-school gamer with a comment like that. So you wouldn't understand.

There was no camping in my day, or hiding in a corner of the map. But I guess kids these days get 'pissed off' if they can't camp..

 

I'm fairly certain there was a crosshair in goldeneye... Or was that only in perfect dark?

 

I'm pretty sure you could manually aim with a crosshair in the N64 version of Goldeneye.

 

You could manually aim with R, but you would never use it in the multiplayer, it wasnt necessary. The screen was such low resolution (and auto-aim) that it was easy to line up shots without the cross hair. With a low resolution, its easy to get a guy 'in the middle' of the screen.

On Goldeneye source, it seems much harder to line up shots. Its faster, and with such a high res and no auto-aim, I found myself using the crosshair a lot. But its just no good, while it is authentic to the original, with a mouse its unintuitive and not really suited for a fast flowing game. Also there seems to be a delay between zooming in and the crosshair actually appearing.

 

Yea, I don't remember ever using it in multiplayer, but I remember that you could if you wanted to. The auto-aim was just too good though

Yea, I found my self always using the crosshair to shoot people, which slowed down my character drastically. I could almost never kill anybody without manually aiming.

 

I tried playing with the 360 controller and while it was flawless theres no button on the controller to aim....huh?!!

 

Well, excuse me. I guess owning the original since it came out doesn't make me an "old school gamer."

 

You didn't play the original then.

Kids these days, you don't appreciate anything.

 

Orange box games use a different source engine. It's the new upgraded source engine. You need a game with the older source game. Aka, HL:2 CSS etc.

 

GoldenEye 007 was a very fun game on the N64. I think I've used Beta 2 a long long time ago and I think I'll try this one out later.

 

Just last little bit from me - this is a mod people, and it is free (more or less, you need a newer source game) and we should appreciate the work people put into it
