Screen hacking is part of goldeneye strategy tho. I mean it would be an interestimg and different game without it.

Also: no oddjob, fuckers

I never had a problem fighting against Oddjob. One small tap on C-Up lines you up for headshots.

lol I dunno, my friend's house rules had banned him before I started playing. I'm not sure I ever bought the game. That was the amazing thing about split screen multiplayer, though. When you're a kid and the games are 60 bucks and you can't get that many.

Agree

Doesn't stop you from camping the body armor either, which is pretty much the main strat.

I'm honestly ok with this. Not because I frown on "screen looking," but because it's a cool concept. I wonder what kind of tv screens they are, considering the game plays better on tube tvs.
I had no idea there was an unreleased remaster for the 360. Quite upset I can't play it.

Hardware to split it on four screens, as in the thing that's been done for decades with a matrix of monitors? That tech is probably dirt cheap now.

Back in the day my friends and I put two pieces of cardboard to form a cross and affixed that to the screen, and saw so we could only see our quadrant.

There are I believe N64 emulators modified to render in high resolution, with an overclocked CPU so the game runs at 60 FPS, and possibly with texture packs. . I'm not a graphics snob so that looks pretty damn good, without it feeling like a different game.

Ya I was about to say can’t Linux do this out of the box? $10k isn’t much for a consultant and equipment though.

I think the headline is kind of needlessly provocative too. The quote was that it took about $10k in hardware to achieve it, not that they spent that much. They may have had a bunch of that equipment laying around, accumulated over years.

Well that was a waste. They could've just used the open source version (GoldenEye: Source) on various computers with N64 controllers connected.

Relax. It was someone's pet project that probably got some Grant from some college to have some college kids do something that was purposeful with their money..

Fucking waste of money. Shouldn't people be playing it how people used to play it when it was first released? I mean, fuck, it's a museum, isn't it? Historically accurate is wrong now?

How exactly does what amounts to a 4-way splitter with cropping cost 10K? It wouldn't even take a day to make a software solution for that
