I made a username here just so I could say this. Goldeneye 64 was my favorite game back in the day. Me and 3 friends spent the better part of 2 years gathering almost every day to play the game into the wee hours of the morning, and loved every minute of it. After all that, the one thing that has always stuck in my head the most were the catchy, Bond-like tunes, and the sound effects. You guys have absolutely nailed most of the sound effects, but what you've done with the music...it's almost a transcendent experience. You have taken these themes that I will always be familiar with and masterfully remade them. I love every single one of them, and I listen to them just for fun. They invoke a sense of nostalgia, whilst offering up something new for my listening enjoyment. Well done.

<- Grammar Nazi Approves. Lavish choice of words you have there.
I agree with you of course, Seeing as they could not use any original sounds and had to re-create them.

First of all, welcome to the forums. Hope you like your stay here!
Thank you for praising the music; it is really well done.
You might want to wait for the "music and sound department" to post here and thank you for saying it is a nice work.
One thing: since you joined the forum, stick around and post on the other topics. Who knows i your suggestions will come in handy.
I can also say, as you might notice, that the current build of GE:S is not the final release, so there will be needed a lot of feedback from the community in order to really polish it up for the final one and a lot of community contribution with ideas and things like those.
BTW, I'm not one of the moderators nor part of the dev team; I'm just a GoldenEye fan like you and most people here who really want this project to move forward. I too still have my copy of GE007 and still play it with friends.
EDIT: Damn Sp1nn3y, you beat me to it. Me and my habit of making welcome wall-texts. :D

Being something of a Grammar Nazi myself, I always try to one up my last post by introducing something new. And let me tell you, when I screw up and misspell something, it's like I've slapped myself in the face.
-
Is this a grammar Nazi's thread? 'Cause I'm one myself too. I'm always on the lookout for any errors I might have committed, even on my older posts; when I see one, I edit the crap out of him 'till it's correct. ;)

Right. Well, as I mentioned, I've only just made a username here, but I've been playing this since the first beta release. For some reason, I hadn't been privy to this forum until just the other day, when I downloaded the new version of GE: Source.
Anyway, that's why I'm here. To provide feedback. And while we're on the subject, I think I'll nip off to the topic I saw about spawning with weapons. PP7's all around!!!

Hey, I'm all for it. I'll sit here listening to this fantastic music in the meantime.

That is one way of seeing it, although that was not my intention. Kudos for looking from a different angle.
Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor) by Robert Palmer; that was my intention.

I overlooked this in my original post, but I wanted to add that in the Janus Control Base song, the insertion of the funky elevator theme at 3:20 is brilliant. I love seeing (or hearing) these little departures in the music.
-
Cheers man. Glad you like our music. I bet I had more fun making my tracks than you do listening to them. :)
Thanks for the specific mention of the Control song with the elevator theme; at the time I was running out of ideas for how to make the track longer and its good to hear that it worked well.

Well, while I'm inflating your ego, let me also mention how much I love the new Cradle theme. I always loved that song, and the new version has a techno like vibe to it, which makes me feel like I'm playing a Bond themed version of Unreal Tournament, which is totally a good thing, since Unreal Tournament's soundtrack was amazing as well. I hadn't actually listened to that song before, and when I jumped into a game on Cradle, I just sat in the spawn point and listened for awhile. It really speaks volumes that at times, I would rather listen to the music than play the game.

Freakin'.......Awesome......

and the sound effects. You guys have absolutely nailed most of the sound effects
Why thank you. I will be doing a pass on all the guns for beta 4 stage. That will be a few months though, but expect them to be even better and the problem ones see a big redo :D
Thanks for bigging up the music too, a lot of us agree. Music is absolutely amazing the way is it designed in this mod.

This is awesome.. when silo came up .. i am just befuddled at how much i like that techno sound mixed into it
-
Holy crap! That video was amazing! Silo was an unexpected surprise. I could watch that over and over I think. Fullscreen.
-
Hey I'm glad you guys like both the music and the video. I regret not having more time to contribute more to the current soundtrack, as there were really only three new tracks that I had done (Silo, Runway, and Shaken, Not Stirred). I haven't had as much free time since I started my fourth year in Electrical Engineering... also a job in the film industry eats up a lot of it too. But hey, now that we've got Audix, there will always be plenty of good, new music :)
Anyway, thank you for the kind words.
-
I have a newfound passion for video game music ever since I listened to the GE:S music. I've taken the whole soundtrack and put it on my Zune, followed by the MGS4 soundtrack.
By the way, I LOVE the GE:S music!
-
i loved the n64 music and i like this music not as much as the 64 but it was still very very good
but a lot of people have their own opinions so why not make a option that allows you to switch between the n64s music and yours?
that would be really sweet :D
-
The GE:S music is lovely. The only original tune I prefer was the Silo theme.
