> Also, the pictures in that article made me feel nostalgic playing Golden Eye on the N64.

Recently a mate and I plugged in an n64 to play Golden Eye and spent way too long messing with the cables before realising that it was displaying correctly and that the graphics just weren’t that great. A 15 inch CRT hid a lot too.

We still had a great time - no Oddjob usage per house rules. Using him is cheating.



You'll be glad to know some modders are remaking the game using the Unreal Engine

Unfortunately, everything surrounding this remake implies that the project is dead and gone. The Twitter account and the IndieDB entry have both been deleted.


They were forced in to a rebrand a week ago due to legal threats on using the 007 licence. Dev work is still continuing though.


About 10 years ago I regularly played a multiplayer only source engine remake that was ok.


I'm guessing that was an earlier manifestation of Golden Eye: Source?

No - Goldeneye 25 was a completely different project, focusing on singleplayer. Just a couple of days ago it had a takedown notice and its twitter feed is now gone:

They are now Spies Don't Die, and are making it a 90s-themed shooter that will be reminiscent of, but not a remake of, Goldeneye: https://twitter.com/spiesdontdie


The comment I replied to said they were playing a multiplayer-only version. I'm not sure you're responding to the right comment?


I think I misread the replies, thinking the Source engine remake comment was referring to its parent comment (which was Goldeneye25, not Source.)


Gotcha. Hadn't heard of the projects you linked or the parent. Had no idea there were so many!


Seems likely. And did I really regularly play it? I don't think I actually did. Maybe I just did for like a week and remember it well.


Our rule was you could pick Oddjob, but if you did everyone got to punch you in the arm.


Glad to hear others used the same house rule. It's definitely cheating.
