Half-Life: Alyx mod creators are remaking GoldenEye 007 in Fri.
Several Half-Life: Alyx mod creators are working on a modification of GoldenEye 007 in the form of a remake of the classic Nintendo 64 shooter from 1997. The first two missions of the original GoldenEye have largely been released.
The creators of the mod called Goldeneye Alyx 007 have so far Dam and Facility released on Steam. Dam is the name of the first mission from the original GoldenEye 007 and was an introduction to the game. This mission has been released in two parts and part three is likely to follow soon. The Mission Facility was previously available on Steam; this was the second mission from GoldenEye 007. The original soundtrack is present and the mod’s various missions are released as add-ons for Half-Life: Alyx.
Goldeneye Alyx 007 is not an exact copy of the original; Half-Life: Alyx remains the foundation. Most elements such as the terrain and the playing fields are recreated based on GoldenEye 007, but the characters are still directly from Half-Life: Alyx. As a player you take on the role of Alyx Vance, even though her name is Alyx Bond. And the enemies are not Russian soldiers, but Combine soldiers. Furthermore, certain gameplay elements such as the interaction with the environment come from the Half-Life VR title. The creators of the mod say that they have built in a dynamic AI and that the level of difficulty is deliberately quite high. The graphics have also been significantly improved.
Incidentally, this modification is certainly not the first time that a modern adaptation of the original GoldenEye 007 has been made. GoldenEye Source, a remake of the multiplayer part. In addition, there is GoldenEye 25, a remaster of the single-player campaign based on the Unreal Engine, due to be completed by August 2022. The original GoldenEye 007 will exist for 25 years.
