Half-Life 2 - Golden Eye: Source

In lizza per la vittoria nel contest annuale di ModDB troviamo anche Golden Eye: Source, total conversion per Half-Life 2 (o meglio per il Source Engine, dato ogni titolo basato su questo motore può essere usato per usufruire del mod), di cui proprio ieri è stata rilasciata l'attesissima versione 4.1 ed uscendo finalmente dalla fase beta che durava da febbraio.

Come il nome stesso indica, questa total conversion ha come scopo la ricreazione di Golden Eye per N64, ma lasciamo la presentazione alle parole stesse degli autori: http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source

GoldenEye: Source is a total conversion modification of Half-Life 2. It is a fan made artistic recreation, released for free, with only one goal in mind; to bring the memories and experiences from the original GoldenEye64 back to life using Source Technology. We want you to look at this mod and remember the first best multiplayer first-person shooter ever made. We are doing our best to bring in the opinions of the community to create a game that everyone is going to enjoy. But, we are not here to recreate the game exactly how it was in GE64, a lot of things have changed since they first designed that game, mainly in technology and gamers experiences. We are here to take the game even further but at the same time provide a lot of those fun elements that hardcore GE64 fans will enjoy. We've got experienced team members all across the board, from professional level, to amateurs looking to make it into the business working hard to make this dream a reality.


We focus on a daily basis to keep the original feel for the game that we all know and love. Adding new and fun game play features is our secondary mission, along with new maps and weapons that will keep the game feeling new. We do this by getting together with all of our development team, and asking ourselves "What are the things we always wanted.

Il lavoro, come i lettori potranno facilmente immaginare, è stato a dir poco mastodontico (considerando anche che il progetto è alla sua quarta incarnazione): ci troviamo di fronte ad un'eccellenza nel vasto campo di mod per il Source Engine, eccellenza che invitiamo tutti i fan di Golden Ey a toccare con mano, scaricando il server/client a questo indirizzo: http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source/downloads/ges-v41-full-install-exe
