- GoldenEye 25 was a fan remake made in Unreal Engine 4 that aimed to release for the 25th anniversary of GoldenEye N64 exactly a year ago from posting this video, in 2022. This game still had two years of development ahead when it was hit by a cease & desist from MGM in 2020.
Ben Colclough is a 3D artist expert, so he focused the first part of development on recreating all the environments with a breathtaking amount of detail from the original sets and designs in Unreal Engine 4, moving from his past work in GoldenEye: Source. Yannick Zennhäusern worked on the audio design and music, creating a dynamic music system using Wwise to make the music unique to your own play style, giving a great cinematic feel to the already movie-accurate environments.
You can listen to the five hours and half long soundtrack produced by Yannick here - • The Janus Files - An E...
There's no download for the game itself. It's unfinished, and MGM could put Ben and Yannick in legal danger if anyone were to share this. There's also no point to share it since it has no gameplay value as shown in the video. No level plays from start to finish.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not involved in the development of GoldenEye 25. GoldenEye 25 is not in development since 2020 after being shut down by MGM's C&D letter. I'm just sharing these videos for historical value and appreciation of fan art.

MGM cancelled this and there's no way this will ever see the light. The developers obviously moved on from this.
Ben Colclough is working on a much simpler project called "Final Transmission", which aims to be a faithful recreation of the classic gameplay features of GoldenEye.
Yannick Zennhäusern is working on another project that will be announced in the next few months.

Thank you a lot!
Good luck to Ben on his newest project and pray it doesn't get the C&D slap like G25 did, thanks for sharing this and good luck on your next mission 00G!
@@alexgeorge501It's an original IP, it cannot get C&D'd.
Why did they gun for them? Wasn't the game supposed to be free?
@@ronaldwoofer5024 Because they're silly.
MGM execs are the kind of bad guys Bond would go after
MGM probably one of the most pettiest companies. And they wondered why their company was failing
They sound like it too.
MGM are kinda like Activision
Kinda sucks that MGM shut down this project, it just goes to show that modders and people of the community can make a better version or better game of the old classics
Yeah, and it's because those people trying to make stuff like this are doing it out of raw passion, talent and creativity. That's exactly where the original Goldeneye 64 came from also, and why it became the biggest, most popular fps ever made and even made the already great movie go beyond popular Bond movie into cultural phenomenon territory. Businesses these days have not got a clue, they are utterly backwards and just lazy profiteers that do not understand anything, especially when it comes to creative media, art and craft. They don't even understand business really, only one little basic aspect of it... They'd sell a cow to buy a truckload of milk these days and think they were really clever and ahead of the game too.
how can they down a project if they dont know where its being made ? the developer can move to any location and develop it and then " leak " it onto the net , there is no stopping leaks and distribution
@@girlsdrinkfeck Good point actually, but maybe the real guy wants credit for his masterpiece, so they can take the credit away from him, since he'll get sued.
This is how the N64 version looked like inside our heads back in the day
I remember 1v1 with my dad when it came out. My mum walked in the room and made a comment about how real it looked
So true.
Fuckin way overused
haha yeah exactly but even better!
No. Not at all.
The bastards at MGM...they killed what could've been the perfect remake of an already near perfect video game of it's time. Thank you Gras for showing this to us.
yeap,stupid MGM 🤮🖕🏻
They only did that cause they weren't gonna make any money off of it.
What tools.
MGM can't be bastards. They are motherless. 🙂
As a consumer, I will avoid MGM productions. I already watched almost everything from them, so better is not buy or subscribe anything from them.
How faithful the bottling room alone looks to the film is a testament to the passion and love Ben and Yannick have for GoldenEye.
One many people around the world share. I’m still not over the fact that this was taken away from a generation of fans.
This would have been the biggest remake in the history of gaming. I wish Jandaq and MGM saw this potential and came in to reawaking this classic masterpiece. Ben and Yannick did a good job. Goldeneye fans and new ones would have been happier. I love what I saw thus far and thank you Graslu00 for your effort in making this video. Regards
I can't fathom why anyone would have a problem with a tribute video game being released about a movie from 1995! Coming up on 30 years here shortly!
I feel very lucky to witness the hard work these folks put in at last. Thank you for sharing!
Es increíble, yo le tengo bastante amor a la música clásica pero esa música usada, es perfecta además que se mira asombroso! Gracias por traernos este video, Gras!
Thank you for bringing this to us!!! This is incredible!
The OG Facility music was insanely good but I have to say, this version is equally as good! What a shame this could never be finished :(
the fact they were ordered a cease order from MGM and the other company shows how much heart they lack!!! this is the remake that the fans wanted
The music is so accurate
This is art. Beautiful work. I love how the soundtrack blends the film and the game. Amazing, even just being able to see this in action is something
I love the ammo charge sound. It is similar to.
Shadow of empire N64.
Amazing 🤩
Wow this is amazing. Such a shame it was shut down. There was so much potential here. GoldenEye 007 on N64 is one of the best games ever made. I wish it would get made just like it was originally with todays graphics and mechanics. Looks like that is what this was. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible. The fact that this was shut down is tragic.
The set dressing in this level really makes the Facility feel like a real place. Fantastic attention to detail!
I wonder if it would ever be possible to just release the walkable environments - I know that an MGS remake which got shut down was able to do a similar thing.
big corporations like MGM are just bored with their lives, so they go after people for their own amusement. it was a fan project, not a blatant upload of the movie.
I swear, sometimes it really does feel like all the good things are being opinioneered on social media, then cancelled and history in general even being subtly distorted so everyone thinks everything in the past was just bad and everything corporations feed us now is amazing. The Bond movies have just been systematically dismantled, made into some bizarre depression-fuel that's utterly disrespectful to it's own legacy and then stomped on and sold off to Jeff Bezos... Seriously, what is going on. Cheap, tacky and soulless profiteering is becoming not just the normal business MO but the only big business MO.
This looks awesome and exactly how it should be remade.
That soundtrack is spot on from the movie. Cannot believe they would cancel this project.
This looks beautiful
I imagine the composer behind this was the same person behind that other Far Cry 5 project, isn't it? If so, dude, if you're reading this, your work is astonishing!!! I told it before and I remember you saw my comment on one of the Far Cry 5 GoldenEye Remake videos, but I'll say this again. I wish I had 1% of your talent, because I LOVE how Eric Serra composes his scores and just how insanely precise you match his unique style; and I can see you've also worked with Stems here (I believe that's what's called the feature that allows you to individually make some parts of the composition play accordingly to the gameplay), that's brilliant.
(Thank you for the gameplay, by the way, Mr. Graslu00! As always, you do a lot to keep the legacy of this game alive!).
Same music, the one used on my Far Cry 5 videos is from GoldenEye 25, Yannick made it, yes. I'll forward this message to him :)
@@Graslu00 THANKS A LOT! I KNEW, HAHA!
Man i’d have paid good money to play this just for the nostalgia
Looks almost a bit scary new, great stuff
Man this was on the verge of greatness. If only MGM had let em cook. 😔
This is EXACTLY how a remake should be done! The same animations, mechanics and sounds, but looking absolutely beautiful! One new mechanic id like added optionally would be to be able to shoot out lights and use stealth splinter cell style 😎 we need this game
I love how the guns sounds here
The mini AK sound is exactly like in the movie. THUKATHUKATHUKATHUKA!
This is such a perfectionist work!
I'm mad the first guys in the bathroom didn't have hats.
This is sick tho, good job!
It would have been a perfect REMAKE
Oh my god that music is AMAZING. This would have been incredible if MGM hadn't decided to be assholes and kill it in the crib.
I know I commented on this video the other day, but I just thought of some thing that MGM missed out on. Yes, they had every right to shut it down but this just came to my mind. What if they didn’t shut it down and helped the creators. I’ve been following, the remake of this game before it was shut down and I just thought to myself if MGM helped the creators finish the project this game would bring in probably more money than the call of duty games. It is this game that we have to think for the Call of Duty® games and other first person shooters. This game could’ve been on PC and every other Consol. PlayStation Xbox and more. This game would’ve made so much money if MGM would help the creators finish it. It looks so realistic and exactly like the movie every minor detail. The tanks are the same, the bombs are exactly the same. And not only that the bond character has a shadow. MGM is greedy. This would’ve been a great game for the fans of this game. I remember when I got the game for Christmas. I was so happy. One of the greatest games to ever be created and this remake could’ve been even better.
a TON of work went into this for sure. Looks great, sounds incredible, but my brain really is having a hard time accepting the different damage engine/animations lol
The animations were really early. Ben had a motion capture suit to replicate the originals.
No scientists were harmed in the making of this video.
F*CK!!!! This is ultimately balanced between the movie atmosphere and the N64 game atmosphere!!! Also, CONGRATULATIONS on the movie OST remake!!!
I hate it when these fan projects get the C&D from the studios, at least we get a taste of "What could of been" in this level anyway
Can we petition them to make this for real like real life??!!! This looks great!!
Looks excellent
Very cool soundtrack
damn. wish they would have hired the dev team who made this, and make it an official licensed product. they barely spend anything, and they have a pretty much finished game on hand. like, it would be easy money!
You forgot the first rule of mass media MGM, give the people what they want!
What a beautiful game!
I remember achievement hunter playing this back a couple of years sad to see it had to be scrapped was a super ambitious project and would have been super nostalgic
You're thinking of GoldenEye: Source, that's still active.
@@Graslu00 ohh that was the one! Was trying to figure out how too get it to play with some homies thanks man
This is wonderful!
This bastards from MGM ruined all.
That would be the remake what we need.
I don't get why fan projects don't keep it hushed until the game is actually released, it's happened so many times before with so many fan remakes and the cease and desist crap.
I understand theres legal stuff in between but the games are not being sold, in my opinion it's like covering a song.
Companies could also work with fans and maybe help them sell it while getting a percentage instead of flat out canceling hard work that they are not doing and not giving us what we ask for in many cases.
1- Mental health. You don't simply work on something you love for years on your own without discussing it with anyone. Studios have dozens of people to discuss and have feedback with, fans would have nobody. It's human nature.
2- GoldenEye / Bond never had issues with fan games until this. Both Yannick and Ben came from working on GoldenEye: Source, a multiplayer game that has been available and is still available since 2005, with many updates and releases that went viral, never taken down.
3- Motivation. Again, getting feedback from followers is a great reason to keep you going or know if what you're doing is good or bad.
@@Graslu00 Well it's sad to see all that work for nothing, hopefully one day these corporations work out a way to allow fan games.
Well that was fast, but at least we got a look at what could've been... So why doesn't MGM just hire you guys?
They're scared of making money and respecting the original GoldenEye game & movie.
Sick of greed ruining gaming. I've given up on new releases and do not spend money on the industry anymore. They've lost my respect and my money. I downloaded Final Transmission. Hope to see something happen there.
The hammer never strikes😂, and all the guards are bald.
They should hire those guys to create a remake for the new Nintendo console and xbox.
the music is so fkin good
wow he did better then the wii version
The name is Bald. James Bald
I'm heart broken this has brought back memories and I still have my n64 and goldeneye original, MGM sucks for shutting this down I'm sick of call of duty taking all the fame for being the same game over and over smh
thanks for sharing this big gras.
Gary’s mod has come a long way 😅
It's shit like this that makes me against IP Copyright and corporate ownership of art; art fosters community, the community has the impulse to build upon that art to further the community, and the corporations go "Mine!" and shut down that social community's ability to further itself.
"for England James"
Killer soundtrack
(Background): MGM refuses to let fans be creative with "their" work.
Corporate greed and lack of creativity on their part is the downfall of video games.
Our mission to send the message to these corporations LOUD and CLEAR that we gamers are fed up.
M:
Remember you are to get TH-cam to unsubscibe from MGM's various channels, and media platforms.
Write them a letter but I bet your wallets would be better against these pen pushing snarky bunch.
Q:
Honestly, how many games must we try and be creative with before MGM breaks it?
Money Penny:
I was obviously made from the love of MGM for Money and not for you, TH-cam.
Try not to get caught in negotiations that make strange bed fellows. ❤
oh my god. I need this.
So we got bamboozled of this, for what reason now please someone fill me in .
Because MGM is scared of making money
The shadow of Bond has 4 arms
Fans want this, MGM need to get a life.
This is amazing work. Why do all the guards look like Jack Packard from RedLetterMedia?
The guards are Yannick Zennhäusern, the composer of this game. As explained at the start it's all WIP.
I bet you're a lot of fun at parties...
@@Shagohod1897 Very, why you ask?
Nuts to mgm...this is a masterpiece
I know what you're thinking,
"dum diddle dee dum dee deedee dum diddle dee dum dee deedee
DUH DUUUUUHHHH, DUUH DUH DUUUH
Goldeneye meets Resident Evil vibes
AMAAAAAZZZZZZING
Why do these fan made games always have that… you know, fan made vibe?
How do you not shoot the breakers in the room with two enemies in jt
What a waste of ammo! 😮 Back in my day we did it all with a snorkel and a pair of flip flops. 😂
Are we playing 007 or Time Splitters? XD
This was such a joy to make. The most fun I've ever had doing game dev. Yannick's soundtrack is stunning. He's surely the best in the world at recreating the GoldenEye movie OST feel. Also I want to shout out the real Dr. Doak who was very supportive of us during development.
I still wish it was possible to remake this game and I hope somehow the GoldenEye remake we all want happens someday.
As for me I took a long break from game dev for various reasons. Seeing all your support in the comments makes me want to get back into it though. Thank you. And thanks to Graslu for all his support as well. ❤
Hey to you too. Shame that Spies Don't Die never made it. Godspeed with your new project.
Man this gameplay looked amazing and the music was great!!
Your work on this was incredible. Thank you for trying to give us what every Goldeneye 64 fan wanted all our lives. I wonder if it's worth it for you and Yannick to try negotiating a contract and get the project back up and running. Especially now that Amazon has ownership.
I would happily follow your next project. For an unfinished alpha this looks wonderful, fuck the cucks at MGM. They're just mad you made a better prototype than their last several bond games.
Remember that atrocity Goldeneye Reloaded?
Were yall working on the Goldeneye HD remake that never released?
I will never forgive MGM for ruining this project. I was so hyped for it. Yannick nailed the music. It sounds straight out of the movie but with that game twist to it.
also other projects too...
Ironic as well cause they could’ve saved themselves from being bought if they helped with this project but nope they had to be assholes.
@@lewisgrant7622 because nobody must be allowed to play with their Intellectual Property™
And nobody is allowed to play with YOUR intellectual property.
It's called having rights and should be celebrated daily.
An adult wanted his own Goldeneye so, he created Agent 64. See? There's a lot of benefit into dropping your childish behaviour and get sh!t done like a man! Of course MGM shut down those projects! Only children would believe that anything else would happen
@@brianfordhamm2740
Nintendo are assholes ... and its run by hypercapitalist trash.
“You’ll never know how it feels to be so close and be denied” Well Tina, now we know 😔
💔❤️ Do true now indeed, great lyrics but such a sad end to what would have been a revisited masterpiece
Bono wrote that lol
@@TheChaosLupin except, it has nothing to do with cumming
God this is exactly what I wanted, I used to keep a close eye on the project before it got cancelled. The music was done by Yannick Zenhäusern, who did a terrific job emulating Eric Serra's original score.
Edit: Wow upon watching the actual gameplay footage, it is an understatement that Ben and Yannick were passionate about this. The mission select menu with the mi6 office as a backdrop, subtle hints of the goldeneye theme playing in the background, that “bong” sound effect. This game was a love letter to not just the fans of goldeneye but James Bond fans as well.
I dunno if you know this but Far Cry 5 multiplayer has all these maps available for gameplay. It's pretty cool.
Fun fact: Eric Serra also did the music scores for _Leon The Professional_ and _The Fifth Element._
Wasn't terrible it was gold
Why wouldn't you just watch the video before commenting? Just so you could say "::eDiT::"
Yeah this was a nice touch also the Mi6 backdrop - More attention could of been provided and changed around however for a base concept definitely a great start - Also looked like the map/level/stages were left for maybe 3 or 4 new stages to potentially be secret of found to be added to the level document - This project had alot of potential and hope to see it revived in the future
Better than nothing. No animosity towards you, Graslu. Only the ones responsible for denying us the pleasure of experiencing this as a full game. I truly mean it when I say, Thank you for bringing this to us.
It makes me sad that Ben and Yannick put so much effort into a project and then out of nowhere comes a horde of greedy bureaucrats tearing down something like the GE 25.
I love how the OST is like a mix of the game and movie OST
Oh my gawd zaddy chill!!
Its dope af
Like bro in legit impressed. This is my first time seeing this. Of course there are a few things I could complain about like the ragdolls need to be more like the OG game but with official backing I would imagine that would have been done.
why would MGM tell them to stoppppp.... this looks awesome!!!!!!!! I love that you love goldeneye as much as I do! love your videos
Greed, pure and simple, MGM should have worked with these guys, maybe even hired them like Microsoft used to with guys who made viruses and found loopholes in their systems
Of course, because they weren't getting paid! They should hire these guys, not pull a cease and desist. Shame, the fans always know what the fan base wants. Well MGM can go play with monopoly money, because I won't be giving them a cent after this.
@@ljaproductions07 i'd go incognito and just spread it for them doing that lol.
@@ItsJustAdrean HOW IS THAT AN OFCOURSE ?
IT SHOULD NEVER BE AN OFCOURSE
It's not even their fucking creation .
I love how it looks and feels like the original Goldeneye from 1997 but at the same is clearly modernised. The care and attention to detail in this are unbelievable, the music sounds both like the game and the film, the gameplay itself seems to be a faithful re-creation. It's a shame that a project which clarly has so much love and passion behind it can be stopped due to some Janus at MGM
So incredible, the music the feel, this is like how GoldenEye felt to me as a kid haha!
Same I watched the movie before playing the game and was slightly disappointed at the time with the OST on the game, amazing now though :) just love the movie OST
Same I watched the movie before playing the game and was slightly disappointed at the time with the OST on the game, amazing now though :) just love the movie OST
@@mattjcwig Yeah the movie had a very good OST
Should have kept quiet about it and released it to the world like a bond villain. Ain't no one stopping it then.
I hope the MGM Lawyers know how much money they passed on by shutting down GoldenEye 25 instead of just officially backing it.
They could've easily sold this for $60 & people would've been talking about this remake for years instead of just a month like the actual anniversary.
Thank you Ben Colclough & Yannick Zenhäusern for the work you put into this, it might not be playable but (almost) everyone appreciates the passion you put into it.
I guess to be fair, it's not as simple as I'm making it sound because GoldenEye has a notoriously complicated licensing deal between multiple companies along with paying all the Movie Actors whose faces were used in the game.
But I believe it would've been worth it.
No one lost any money but the developers for wasting their time trying to steal IP instead of just making their own product. This is trash lol.
They could have just developed it in secret and then released it when it was done
The original Goldeneye was published by Nintendo and developed by Rare, who are now owned by Microsoft. That's already two game publishers in the loop one of which stubbornly release almost nothing outside of it's own hardware. Then there's James Bond IP itself, which is an even more spectacular legal mess. The IP is owned by Danjaq and MGM but the latter has been juggled around multiple different parent companies for decades, the latest (I think) being Amazon. Let's not forget that the stores (both digital and physical) need their slice of the pie as well.
The sad truth is a Goldenye remake is quite simply... unpublishable. Each of those $60 sales has to be split between so many parties that's not worth it for any them to do it. I agree it sucks and I would love to see a Remake but it's legally to cumbersome to do.
This is how goldeneye looked to our eyes when it was released 😌
I know right?
13 year old me playing Goldeneye for the first time: "graphics can't possibly look any better than this!!"
CRT scanlines were a hell of a drug.
Wow! what an insane amount of detail. This is the remake we needed. Such a shame it couldn't get released. At least we have this video to watch.
I must admit- the fact that the crosshair actually moves around the screen when in aiming mode really does elevate this above a remake made in any other game's mission builder. I didn't realise it had that feature preserved.
IOI interactive please take notes, this is the remake all Goldeneye fans deserves.
I love Goldeneye more than the next guy, but I want IOI's James Bond game to be nothing like this.
How satisfying it is to see the weapon move freely when aiming like the original!
Imagining what it would be like if it were complete. Graslu, it is possible that what will be presented here can cause a huge commotion in the GE community and also in James Bond and old FPS fans, to the point that MGM gives in to it, or even gives in to giant pressure of the fans to give their approval for the continuation of this project?
I highly doubt it, sadly.
@@Graslu00I believe that with the leak of GoldenEye XBLA in February 2021, the procedures began for the launch of GoldenEye GamePass (which is rubbish) which came to our misfortune, and also had the issue of Project 007 that was announced in the same year in that GE25 received the C&D. So, I believe that these manifestations of GoldenEye can make me think of something in the franchise, however, I understand and agree with your point of view when it comes to MGM.
I would pay for this! Hope more people keep coming up with These remasters like the Black Mesa one…
That's not golden eye if the lamp and calculator don't blow up! 😂
It broke my heart to see this notification and know that we will never see this release. Graslu00, will you show a level per premiere???
I'll have this premiere for Facility and then another one showcasing every level. The game doesn't have any fully playable level, so I couldn't do that even if I wanted unless they just were walk-arounds. The second premiere with every level will focus on the details of each map and a fly-through to show all the areas.
@@Graslu00Got it, even with the unfinished levels, I will be delighted to see these premieres. I hope they are relevant enough to show the GoldenEye fan community what MGM took from us.
@@Graslu00Do you plan on doing that premiere any time soon? Whilst the game is very unfinished it would be nice to see the areas that are complete in detail.
Watching this is an absolute testament that passion and talent makes a good video game, and not how much of a budget you have.
It's a real shame this was never fully realised. The music is absolutely outstanding, can definitely see that this was a labour of love.
This is incredible... disappoints me. We could get a much better remake from passionate fans, than licensed ones, but it'll never happen for legal reasons.
Imagine having this amazing remake with some extras and the possibility to play matches online with other players in different modes and levels as it happens in the original game. Sometimes, big companies really fail to see the potential on letting something like this treasure become reality.
Man, this project looks and sounds amazing! Even though we'll never get this, it definitely peaks the interest of their other projects.
Thank you to the creators for this and to you Graslu for showcasing it!
piques* the interest
That's exactly how I thought video games would look like in the future back in the day, thinking something like GoldenEye II would come up 😃...😀...🙂...😶...🙄...😑
You thought they would look like Perfect Dark Zero? Weird... that game is bad.
