Played it earlier.

Soooooooooooooo much improvement over the last one that I almost ejaculated.
In terms of fixes, the main big thing would have to be the netcode/hit detection. Then of course you have all of your new stuff like guns levels etc. The gameplay has been fine tuned in one way or another, as well as the UI is now awesome.

[Limited]

Hell yes I'll play it.

[Syuusuke]

Does the awesome 007 music play while you're playing?

[Rentafence]

Looks great. I only wish they had death animations like the original game.

[n00b1n8R]

Have they fixed the frame-rate issues?

Yes.

I'm getting alot of latency probably due to me being in UK, its pretty fun though :D

[Heathen]

Had one of the older ones back in the gap.

Loved it.

[Pooky]

Oh right I forgot about this. DL'ing.

You can download the OST too. (http://ryanlobbins.com/mods/goldeneye/downloads/GES_Beta3_OST.zip)

Played some of this earlier, was pretty awesome. Cradle is still the worst map ever conceived. Frame rate is good for the most part, but the outdoor area on runway is pretty harsh. Someone needs to get on so I can play this with non randoms :(

[Rentafence]

Soundtrack sounds like something more fitting for perfect dark, as it's way to techno-y.

[p0lar_bear]

Ehhh...

I played a few rounds and it just doesn't feel right. Something's missing... or something idk.

I'm just not feeling the same fun I had with GE64. vOv

[Lex1337]

Do I need anything to play this beta?

It's too fast and it needs the original gun sounds from the N64 version.

The added jumping ability and mouse look makes a lot of the maps not quite work right. Other than that, idk.

Source SDK Base - Orange Box.

[Lex1337]

Aw, I thought this was a stand alone beta.

[ultama121]

Uh it is. The Source SDK is needed for every single mod on steam.

Unless of course you were wondering if this didn't require anything... That isn't very likely to ever happen with a Source Mod. :p

[p0lar_bear]

Aw, I thought this was a stand alone beta.

It's still a Source mod though, and thus gains the requirements of all other Source mods.

Sourceforts didn't.
At least not the version I started on (and I don't think Dystopia did either.. I think I first got it for Empires)

[ultama121]

Hmm... didn't know that.

[Pooky]

Sourceforts didn't.

They don't all require SDK base but they do all require one source engine game.

[SnaFuBAR]

higher res models would've been nice, along with better textures and animations. The whole thing looks really mediocre. IMO they had a chance to do something better than Goldeneye with all the abilities of the source engine and modern pc hardware, and they totally blew it.

[ultama121]

I agree on all of the visuals there Snaf... I found the gameplay pretty outstanding though.

I felt like the gameplay and sound design made up for that. Seriously, some of the music tracks are incredibly epic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8koYngC9ls).

THis is great, Downloading from firefront

In-fucking-credible. I still prefer the N64 tracks though.

[Dr Pepper]

I need help, I installed it and i said not to create shortcuts and now I can't open it!

The problem here is that they're "updating" such a dated and limited game. All of the puristfags are crying to keep some elements of the game there that were forced due to hardware limitations on the N64, like the simple reload method, while pushing for better grafix.

In hindsight, I really think GE64 shouldn't have been ported tbqh. You can't make it into a great Source-powered experience without essentially making it into a whole new game. Look what happened with GoldenEye: Rogue Agent. It was nothing at ALL like GE64, yet tried to pass itself off as such, and failed.

However, this game is still in development. I wouldn't discount it as a failure quite yet, at least until it hits RC builds.

That reminds me, there was another 007 title for GCN that I played and thoroughly enjoyed with my friends. I forget the title, but I remember hopping around the multiplayer levels with a "Q-Claw" and dropping Prox Mines everywhere.
