GoldeneEye:Source 4.1 hitting Friday and officially out of beta!
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
I remember trying the beta like 2 or 3 years ago and honestly I didn't quite like it back then. It just felt like counterstrike with a reskin pack attached to it.
I've been playing Goldeneye for 10 years now so I was kinda worried about the "feel" of the game. I must say, I'm pretty impressed. The weapons look nice (very nice touch of adding the phantom, though I'd say that the klobb looks a little more dangerous than the original), weapon respawn points seem accurate (for the few levels that I tried at least) and the most important part, the movement feels great; not too slow, not too fast, just right.
The one thing that I really REALLY like is the simplicity of the "Classic" maps. They didn't add shit that wasn't in the original and they kept the textures to a minimum. Very nice that they added invisible walls so you can't drop down and stuff.
As for improvements, I'd say weapon groups is kind of a pain in the ass. Having to type them instead of just selecting them is kinda hit or miss. I tried typing "Power Weapons" for example and it didn't work. Just a minor annoyance, but whatever, maybe I was doing something wrong. I messed around with the options a little bit and maybe I missed it but another thing that needs to be added is Licence to Kill. It's not a proper Goldeneye without that. Again, I may have missed it in the options.
And lastly, remove the jump, or at least for the classic maps (EDIT: Ok, it looks like you can
).
Other than that, I'm loving it. I can see myself spending many hours with the game.

LTK is supported
Just put the finishing touches on my server. making it reeeaaal retro. No jumping, no falling off ledges, etc.
Played a few rounds on my Pc this time. This game looks gorgeous.
First thing I did was to put the aim mode on the right click. I'm finding hard to aim properly without the crosshair (not a problem in N64 since you had auto aim) but right click will do just fine.
First match I ended up 3rd so it wasn't so bad, but maaaaaaan, some original maps weren't made for 16 players. In many occasions I literally died like half a second later I respawned. It was chaos :lol
Also, since I live in South America, I thought lag would be pretty bad, but honestly I didn't noticed it at all (260ms response).
Great fun though, I hope more gaffers give it a try.

This runs extremely poorly. I get 9fps in windowed (i think windowed is straight up broken) and around 30fps on fullscreen, about any settings.
I get around 30fps max settings on crysis by the way.

If you can run a Source game, your rig should handle this easily. Drivers possibly? It is still in beta.
8x still won't make that game look good.Nabs said:

This is actually really fun. Feels just like Goldeneye with a mouse.

You can add it like any other non-steam game, but nothing beyond that.
