It's is very interesting. There are dozens of untextured tris arounds the level that can never be seen. It feels like a 90% finished map that got released.

We definitely weren't thinking of the consequences. IIRC 1st time I saw him, the model was done and in the game. I named him Hans in an attempt to make him more relatable. His 'outfit' has a bit of a Lederhosen look - if you squint, a lot. Better to close your eyes and look away.

If you don't mind answering more questions about Timesplitters character designs.... What was the thought process behind the creation of Hans?

The Klobb we could have had...
Graslu00@Graslu00May 10
The Klobb has had enough after all these years... Tonight I'm streaming The Klobbinator 9000 mod, which transforms it into the best weapon in the game! As this will most likely be a short for-fun stream, I'll be showcasing some stuff at the end as well! youtu.be/K15CmoutgYk

I agree. Great question. I think a lot of what is special about the hit react / 'stun' timing and rhythmic cadence of the gun play in GE007 evolved from Virtua Cop (SEGA) (which was Martin Hollis' initial direction for the game)

@drdoak real game design question here: what inspired the goldeneye team to create such amazing hitstun on the enemies? western shooters even now don't have such fantastic feeling hitstun and I think it's the secret sauce of goldeneye.

I should also say that this part of the design had little to do with me! It was all in place before I joined the team - although I obviously leaned into it in enemy placement in the level setups.

If you are unfamiliar with Virtua Cop this YT video is a good place to see the enemy animations in action (also notice the non-combatant civilians who surrender and run away !) youtube.com/watch?v=YT1NaFOi…
