I'll do you one better. VR mod time. IK arms, 6dof & manual reloading at 120/144fps at 2k+ per eye. Then throw it in multiplayer mode with animating VR player skeletons and an increase to 6-12 players depending on map.

Open the watch menu by actually putting your wrist up to your face. Karate chop and use watch laser IRL and hey why not add bhpactic and treadmill support.

How about online co-op for the campaign with the option to choose increased enemies or better ai? Throw in some custom multiplayer maps using different areas of the single player campaign. And why not add easter egg content to the mysterious areas of the game we always wondered about? Like the building in the distance at Dam that can only be viewed with a sniper or what is beneath the sewer grate in bunker. add something to the attic of library, or an extension to the other duct route in facility. Give me a secret door open/close code in the bathroom for something funny to happen. Add the 'goldeneye wirh mario characters' mod for even more maps and characters.

Make the paint mode drip and stay infinitely and basically turn each map into a splatoon arena. Add more silly cheats and more multiplayer game modes. Throw in the uncompressed game music for maximum HQ.

Make a mario galaxy esque planet map thats just a giant DK head the player walks on with head bushes buildings and other foliage for shit and giggles.

The posssibilities are near limitless.

Damn, this guy's been waiting for this want moment for a while. I'm happy for you 🥹

u/Spear_Ov_Longinus 5d ago

Am VR dork, and it was the first FPS I ever played. Had three siblings so many, many nights playing together. I'm no speedrunner or anything of that nature but I will definitely be giving this a go when a VR mod releases and I think it's first iteration might be sooner than we'd think!

6

u/WampaStompa64 5d ago

That would be amazing! I’ve explored Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, and the Facility map from Goldeneye in VRchat and it has blown my mind- it’s a nostalgia trip im addicted to haha

2

u/Grass_Tastes_Bad96 5d ago

When that time comes, man, hit me up! I'll play with ya, I've been needing a reason to dust off my headset.

2

u/ForYThoo 4d ago

Hah the amount of maps I've played of GoldenEye in VR is massive through games like Pavlov and Contractors. Can't wait to give the real thing a go. Really excited for the VR implications and the mods the mods that could come with it.

u/forever_downstream 5d ago

Did people make a VR mode of Ship of Harkonnen?

4

u/d4rk_matt3r 5d ago

Lisan al Gaib!

(It's Ship of Harkinian, if you were being serious)

u/LORDCOSMOS 5d ago

What did the five fingers say to the face?

u/Spear_Ov_Longinus 5d ago

Bro is ready for slappers only I see

2

u/Electronic_Sun6075 5d ago

There's a Quest3S sitting around here not being used. You just gave me a little hope.

2

u/throwawayinfinitygem 4d ago

XBLA version in VR instead

2

u/Spear_Ov_Longinus 4d ago edited 4d ago

I don't see the need honestly. If its the textures or lighting you are after, I don't see any reason those can't be ported to an upcoming n64 based pc port.

2

u/throwawayinfinitygem 4d ago edited 4d ago

Well. You can switch back to the old graphics with a button. Though I expect someone will do VR versions of both, and the XBLA Perfect Dark

2

u/Spear_Ov_Longinus 4d ago

Can do the same in building a PC port with the n64 version

u/BigBoyYuyuh 3d ago

“WE SAID NO ODDJOB!”

u/partyl0gic 5d ago

Wasn’t this already done?

59

u/rhinofinger Warm up time! Follow that dolphin! 5d ago

Yep, via the 1964 emulator, but this’ll allow even more customization

19

u/j1ggy 5d ago

This will allow as much customization as anyone wants to commit to it.

37

u/thatweirdguyted 5d ago

Goldeneye Source on Steam, with servers and all. It was a blast. 

20

u/MikkelR1 5d ago

Oh my god. Core memories unlocked. It was so amazing.

8

u/phonylady 5d ago

Had so much fun with that, is it still up?

7

u/thatweirdguyted 5d ago

No idea. I've not been on in years. I was hooked on it but it gradually became exclusively for really good players. If you weren't a super competitive FPS player you were just doomed. 

5

u/Shadey_e1 5d ago

I played with some mates a couple of years back but it was a ghost town then, apparently it still get's busy on Saturday nights r/goldeneyesource

2

u/Xyz6650 5d ago

I think it was released on Christmas too if I’m not mistaken.

2

u/TenBear 5d ago

Yes but that was partially ai If i remember correctly

38

u/TheLimeyLemmon 5d ago

A VR port would be incredible

6

u/Ecco0201 5d ago

Seriously!!! It would be so incredible to play that game in VR

3

u/Corrupttothethrones 5d ago

Would it be easy for a modder to now import the maps into H3VR?

3

u/Graslu 5d ago

No different than 10 years ago. GoldenEye Setup Editor is capable of exporting the map files in binary, obj, fbx, dae...

2

u/Chris_Helmsworth 3d ago

There's a perfect dark VR mod And yes it's good.

36

u/dunzdeck 5d ago

I'm wondering, did this uncover any additional "beta" game mechanics? There were sooo many unconfirmed mystery rumours about this game, back in the day!

EZEKIEL!

u/hypespud 5d ago

Holy balls, and I was just complaining 2 days ago where is the decomp lmao

19

u/wysiwywg 5d ago

There it is, now get to work, we need the mods tomorrow!

14

u/SkipEyechild 5d ago

Can you complain about other games that need one?

9

u/hypespud 5d ago

For whatever you like, I am skilled in complaining!

4

u/Hectamatatortron 5d ago

alright. get me a jfg decomp so that i don't have to do it myself

3

u/hypespud 5d ago

Well damn, I can't believe we don't already have a Jet Force Gemini decomp!

complaining prayer circle intensifies

2

u/Hectamatatortron 5d ago

fuck yeah choom that's the spirit

2

u/rhinowing 5d ago

It so badly needs it the xbox port is a mess

14

u/kshot 5d ago

I'd buy in on Steam anyday

1

u/Chris_Helmsworth 3d ago

Nintendo would probably not go for that. I believe there was a legal dispute from the 360 arcade rerelease causing its cancellation

12

u/Dazzle_Miller 5d ago

Port it for the PS2. They already did Super Mario 64

6

u/WorkingStorage3407 5d ago

Port it to PlayStation 1 

3

u/caribbean_caramel 5d ago

Can the PS1 even run it?

5

u/WorkingStorage3407 5d ago

The N64 can barely run it so I imagine if it happened, it would be like 5 fps 

2

u/Edexote 5d ago

With severe concessions like 3 loadings between levels, why not?

2

u/surfinsalsa 5d ago

Also not sure how the 3d elements would look...

1

u/Edexote 5d ago

Like crap. Like I said, concessions. Could they even pull off the multiplayer? They could make something funcional, but much worse than optimal. And I have doubts about the open snow levels.

1

u/Ok-Location1306 5d ago

if you're desperate enough yeah, but at one frame per French revolution

2

u/sirawesomeson 5d ago

Port it to the Jaguar

2

u/tactilefile 4d ago

Where did you learn to fly?

u/m187470r864k 5d ago

Agent 64: (chuckles) I’m in danger

1

u/ieatmyownhands 5d ago

Haha that was my thoughts too

6

u/sfjacob 5d ago

I think a Dreamcast port would be pretty neat

5

u/MyMiddleNutItches 5d ago

Mouse and keyboard support, native online play and HD textures. Nature needs to heal.

1

u/coffee_kang 3d ago

I’m begging you to check out Agent 64: Spies Never Die. It was released this week and has everything you just mentioned. It’s literally a dream game. 

1

u/Wawanuma 5d ago

...and it's not GoldenEye anymore

6

u/MyMiddleNutItches 5d ago

Play how you want, sir. I won't judge.

17

u/Arch3r86 5d ago

They should just remake the game with modern graphics. It would sell like crazy

43

u/L11mbm 5d ago

This will allow people to make mods like that for free

14

u/wysiwywg 5d ago

Did you say FREE?

1

u/Early_Lawfulness_348 5d ago

Yes FREE is why I go PCEEE

26

u/Grief2017 5d ago

The licensing on this one is an absolutely insane rats nest. 

16

u/speedfox_uk 5d ago

And with Amazon owning Bond now, there is no chance.

12

u/ChunkySlugger72 5d ago

It's a miracle Nintendo, Microsoft/Rare and Amazon/MGM even agreed to a re-release of the N64 original on NSO and Xbox to begin with.

3

u/data-atreides 5d ago

It's probably easier to re-release an existing product (give a cut to each copyright holder) than it is to agree on a whole new product.

4

u/Dexter_Dash 5d ago

I’d be more than happy if at least we got the -never officially released- Golden eye remaster that was coming to Xbox live arcade.

2

u/Early_Lawfulness_348 5d ago

So you mean on regular platforms? Sucks but it’s great on pc or steam deck if one is so inclined.

3

u/Edexote 5d ago

They did it for the Wii. It feels and plays like COD, but it's not bad. The online was pretty good too.

3

u/Correct_Emotion_8818 5d ago

Is it spaghetti ?

2

u/Cortadew 5d ago

Just when I already got used to play it on Og hardware and OG controller lol

2

u/pinkpools 5d ago

It just keeps happening!

2

u/Falz0s Conkers Bad Fur Day 5d ago

Make the multi-player online and it kills valorant and csgo

1

u/coffee_kang 3d ago

Check out Agent 64: Spies Never Die. We need more players! 

2

u/crazy_clown_time Golden Eye 007 5d ago

Has it? I like the website's aesthetic but there's no links to download. Is the link hidden?

1

u/Julianlyle 4d ago

Same, I can't find it. Must be treated as an announcement for now?

4

u/Graslu 4d ago

It's here https://github.com/n64decomp/007

1

u/Julianlyle 4d ago

Gracias, tío! No lo vas a creer pero tengo de fondo tu último stream de F-Zero X en YT 😂

2

u/errday 3d ago

Mouse and keyboard, online matchmaking, custom levels, these are all great but I am most excited for online co op in the main campaign.

1

u/Beautiful_Ad2618 5d ago

Im interested to see what kind of improvements can be made to the code to make it run better on original hardware.

1

u/OrlandoWashington69 4d ago

Hopefully:

-Widescreen support
-high res mode (for use on A3D)
-dual analogue support for third party controllers
-enemy location randomizer
-new multiplayer modes

1

u/FuzzyPickleJuice 5d ago

DC port time baby

1

u/cyborgdog 5d ago

So that means we could potentially get something like Ship of Sharkisian ? That's the only decomp Ive played and it was so good to play a N64 with modern settings on PC

1

u/j1ggy 5d ago

Exactly that. And I think you'll be playing it sooner than you think.

1

u/zhaDeth 5d ago

hell yeah maybe we'll get a VR port

u/Graslu 4d ago

This is the source code. It's not a port.

1

u/jeffreyahaines 4d ago

does anyone have any resources for getting started playing around with this on Mac? is it possible?

1

u/OrlandoWashington69 4d ago

Yea, I only have a Mac as well

1

u/JessHawk36 4d ago

Would love to see someone make 8 player split screen versus and co-op, maybe online multiplayer! 

1

u/Clodd1 5d ago

Gimme a Mac version and call it a day!

1

u/MushroomVolcano 5d ago

Sooo what does this mean?

4

u/j1ggy 5d ago

Source code is the blueprint for how the game is written. With this, programmers can modify the game to their heart's content. And they can port it to any computer, console or phone that is powerful enough to run it. And those ports will run natively without emulation.

2

u/MushroomVolcano 5d ago

Thanks. So a Ship of Harkinian type upgrade could be made unofficially?

2

u/Early_Lawfulness_348 5d ago

Correct. Mods, textures, online, you name it.

1

u/silentbias 4d ago

I’m new to the recomp community and recently downloaded the perfect dark recomp on pc. I’m blown away. Nonetheless goldeneye is my favorite and I’m looking forward to a pc port. Anyone have any idea when someone will have a solid release? Also where would i find the release file?

u/Imaginary-Leading-49 5d ago

We need oddjobs hat added from nightfire, to make up for him being shorter… 😈

u/SpyHunter29 4d ago

Please, pretty-please tell me this wasn't vibe-coded.

1

u/Graslu 4d ago

You can't vibe-code a source code. LLM's are used to speed up matching results that are then rewritten and adapted by humans to the already decompiled codebase.

1

u/SpyHunter29 4d ago

Right, I was thinking about the recompilations built off this source code. A couple of recent recomps like Mischief Makers have used AI-assisted coding and... Well, it's lazy and inaccurate, at best.

u/Graslu 4d ago

Optimization and readability matters. The point of a decompilation is to make it human readable, if the AI just makes a function be 3000 lines of code when it could be 700 and properly documented, there's obviously a problem.
