    • Lane, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10on such as occasion that their is a legitimate TPB download id hope you would all seed
    • paulajohnw, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0I will seed for at least 2 days, but my DSL caps me at 40Kup. I know we have at least 10 complete DLs off this link. If we keep seeding DL times will improve quickly.
    • v0id, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I'm seeding it, already at 1GB transferred. pretty fun so far, looks beautiful @ 1680x1050 + full eyecandy.

  • Toothy1911, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1YAY! I have been waiting ages for this, looks very good indeed - the original Goldeneye on the 64 was awesome.
  • doubleblack, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5What my question was, what in the hell was doing all the delays? Have they been coding for a year straight, and haven't installed and played it once? All of a sudden a couple of hours before release, they install it and play and have 50 errors...

    But I've been downloading this for the last half an hour, hopefully the wait was worth it!
  • KillerLettuce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3On the forums they were saying the servers were really unstable. From the sound of it, near impossible to play.
  • allyant, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26This may be a n00b question but what is it?
    • pillfred, on 10/12/2007, -21/+3Um not sure if your serious but it's golden eye (james bond) redone independently on the source engine. They have been at it for quite some time. In case your still unclear Golden shower..er Eye, was considered to be one of the best games for the N64.
    • Ninjab3ar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8GoldenEye mod for Half-Life, I think.

      (I'm also a n00b)
    • somerandomnerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13A mod for the Source engine (Half life 2), recreating the classic Goldeneye N64 game.

      Looking forward to seeing it in action...
    • dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's a modification for Half Life 2 - A remake of Golden Eye (That was on the N64)

      [Yes yes, beaten by 3 comments, but this comment seems to be the first one to link directly to their site, which is slightly odd]
    • Lyanto, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Meh. Black Mesa Source is definitely better than this. Too bad it'll take like another 5 years for them to finish if it keeps going at this pace =(

    • spokenrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9So you need to own HL2 in order to apply the mod, correct?
    • Scyth3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That would be correct. (You need steam to play, or HL2, or CS:S, etc.)
    • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does this mod have single player or is it only multiplayer? I recall the original game had single player?
    • pillfred, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1yes im crying but your still a bunch of tools, i answer his question and get buried. lol
    • OutcastJiob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@spokenrope: You don't need full Half-Life 2. Half-Life 2: Deathmatch is sufficient, and it's only $10 on Steam. So if you don't want to cough up for HL2, you can just pick up Deathmatch.
    • bergur1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I know 60th comment to say this.

      It is a mod for HL2 that recreates Goldeneye for the N64. YOU DONT NEED HL2. You only need one game based off of it (CS:S DoD:S HL:S or HL2:S) and something called Source SDK Base which should be included with any of those.
  • jonathan4465, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I found a mirror last night around midnight and downloaded it. I played for about an hour and it seemed perfect to me! The weapons are VERY kick ass! I suggest you shut of the music while you play though, because it gets VERY annoying.
    • vartaxe, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1it was certainly not the beta! but alpha version for sure!
    • ThndrShk2k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So if the alpha was kickass, why not see if they fixed your problems in the beta?
  • joe90210, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6how is it that almost their entire dev team is composed of artists but the game visuals are so crappy? is that the best they could get out of the Source engine?
    • vartaxe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5maybee they want to keep the original feel and look from the n64 game!!!!! and i think its a good idea!
  • bart5986, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've been playing this for the past hour, very very fun :D
  • Pxtl, on 10/12/2007, -18/+1Umm, why? I don't get it. Goldeneye was fun simply because it was the first FPS for a console. It was hardly an impressive FPS in any other way.... I mean, the more unusual weapons were kinda cute, but otherwise I found it pretty forgettable. Why go to all the trouble to remake it as a fan-mod?

    Maybe I'm just an opensource nerd, but it seems to me that it's always better to use an OSS engine and avoid protected content - then you actually get to own your own game, instead of pouring work into the property of Valve and some movie company.
    • Cojawfee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Goldeneye was not the first FPS on a console, it is regarded as the best FPS on a console.
    • FunkstarDeLux, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2"the first FPS for a console"? What?!

      BLOCKED.


      And no, it's not regarded as the best console FPS. Perhaps the best N64 FPS...
    • Pxtl, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7Fine - the first FPS for a console that had all the proper Deathmatch and teamgame features. I realise that there were half-assed ports of Doom and crap like Faceball, but GoldenEye was the first one to actually get the normal Quake-features onto a console.
    • harusp3x, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Nah. It was definitely the best FPS.
    • LaPistola, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Not the first, nor the best.. just the first great one.

      Halo beats it hands down.
    • orientis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5No it doesn't. Halo is typical, mundane *****. It's just Xbox fanboys who think it is the bee's knees.
  • AmishJedi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3do you need to have source to play this?
    • Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yes...i just downloaded it (before reading the comments, so it was a waste of time for me). Looks cool too, so do enjoy, all those who can. :P
  • dbw42, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This may be a dumb question, but do you have to have Half-Life 2 in order for this to work?
  • bart5986, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if you have any kind of source game you can play it :)
    • TsirhCitna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Was that changed? When I tried to play the alpha with just CS:Source it didn't work.
  • dpk87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Its a beta, and thus very buggy. You've been warned.
  • supersonicdarky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2any screenshots?
  • nick2354, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4does it work for mac lol.
    • Kyderdog, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Yep.. but you have to be running parallels with the Crappy Windows OS
    • mattyG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9steam isnt available on a mac, unless you are running boot camp, etc.
  • KublaKhan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3No Mac version?
  • mikefitz2, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2so once its installed, how do i load the game up to play a map?
  • twisterX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is like the whole game with missions gonna be made or just multiplayer. It would be cool to use all those gadgets.
    • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It doesn't look like single player. :(
  • PR0NW4R, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0this mod sucks ,mindless deathmatch in new skins,weapons and maps. Fun to play for 10 minutes...then delete it to oblivion.
  • Brandondork, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2I don't mind gloating... but I am the greatest Goldeneye player of all time. The King shall return to his thrown.
    • cypherz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16yes, Brandondork, you're the King, of what, I'm not sure. thrown != throne
    • groceryheist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you, my friend, are aptly named.
  • ThESnooPCosby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2mikefitz, restart steam, and then join a server.
  • grinin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Can't wait to play!!!!!@!!!@#!@
  • haastyle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1played this before, on steam, it was mad flaky though, getting good speeds from the first mirror on the list, 1881kbps, capping out my FiOS
  • mikefitz2, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/1474/untitledbk7.png

    boy this was sure worth the wait.
    • jayhawk88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Now you know how your girlfriend feels.

      /Sorry couldn't resist
  • Decon89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Whatever mikefitz2, theres a lot of servers running to try it out on.
    It's quite good tbh, but there seems to be some problems when you wanna pick up weapons. Also the lag it's quite bad on the servers that properly are running on peoples desktop pcs.
  • mikefitz2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I understand this is just a BETA release, but man, there are somethings that should just work! I just got done playing in the facility for a few minutes, initial impressions:

    1. When my character dies, I would like to be able to right click to respawn. It took me 3 minutes to figure out I had to hold either WSAD, THEN right click to spawn.

    2. When I walked over a few guns laying on the ground, nothing would happen, they would not appear in my inventory screen.

    3. On occasion when the guns did appear, there was no crosshair!

    4. Also, when I had guns equipt, I couldn't use them most of the time!:
    http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/7436/untitledbs5.png
    See the Golden Gun? It would skip right over that during my attempts to select it!


    Few other minor problems, but I believe these are some fundamental issues that are critical to the game; this was meant to be constructive criticism, I appreciate your efforts!
    • kcchan1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10When your inventory item is red, that means you have no ammo!
  • imtigger2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Will this work with my Wiimote?


    I kid, I kid.... (althought, Goldeneye does seem like the perfect FPS for it)
  • ThESnooPCosby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1if you have drivers, you might be able to get it to work
  • Jackosx, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1This game is a big load of bug, this game has so many bugs that the bugs are going to run out of your usb ports and start looking for a job and then when they get a job they are going to do crap and move into a council house and then start selling drugs.
    • kcpwnsgman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this is a BETA, when was the last time beta software worked perfectly?
    • imtigger2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12 years ago, when Google Mail 'beta' was released...
  • Noctem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This is cool and all ... But to be honest, I'm still waiting with bated breath for Team Fortress Classic for the Source Engine.
  • lcmatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ah great, the mirrors are being hammered by Digg, and hardly anyone is seeding on the TPB torrent. (23 Seeds/46Peers)
  • jp007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4No cease and desists for this project yet? What is taking the copyright owners so long to shut yet another great fan mod down?
  • Warptaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This could be a really great mod if it had couple minute rounds like on cs source and people would stop shooting at their own team members..
  • TSSaloic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This is the first I've heard about Goldeneye:Source
    • imtigger2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1thanks for stopping by and letting us know! really.
  • ThESnooPCosby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0there are no teams in this mod.
  • aladin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sweet. I am unbeatable on the N64 version.
  • digitallysick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So if i dont have any HL games at all, are the HL files that are needed in the torrent?? where do i get them?
    • diggapleeeze, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1maybe you should go buy HL2 first.
  • omalika, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0You buy them. Like someone who isn't a pirate. Do those even exist anymore?
  • digitallysick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*wants to play goldeneye on pc , and not half life* how bout them apples?
  • parker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1anyone know how well the source engine runs on notebooks?

    my pentium-m and 512 megs of ram should be sufficient but i've doubts about the ati mobility radeon 9000. can a directX 8.1 gpu cut it?
  • Cowboy5995, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Halo beats it hands down."

    I am digging you down for not knowing anything about video games. The 64 game was released in 1997. While Halo was released in 2001 a full 4 years later and for an entire system. That's like saying "You know doom for my 386 CPU was okay but COD2 for my 360 beats the living crap out of it. Original Doom sucks"
  • SakisRakis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So...buggy
  • jonnyboy88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've played the mod, and it's fun, but it's just not the same as the original.
  • adiosk8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Fun mod, but very buggy...half of the time I would shoot the crap out of a person and blood would be on them...yet the would continue to show 100% health....a good beta, but still a very long way to go
    • gishnob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they may have had armor (The blue life bar), you would of had to deplete their armor first.
