Does GoldSource support that? Online multiplayer is quite fun.

It's currently possible, but forum rules prevent me talking about it further.

Getting home from school then running straight up to my bedroom with 3 school pals like a pack of wild elephants to play 4 player split screen a Sony Trinitron. Good times. Glory days.

Out on the 27th for both Xbox and Switch
It's a 25 year old game, not sure what you'd be expecting to see in a trailer to judge it not awful?
I've seen other 25 year old games like Quake have a remake and it didn't look awful to me, maybe my expectations are based on typically older games getting a full remake / remaster whereas this looks more like some basic upscaling / widescreen without really much else changing(?), I understand there is no online multiplayer on Xbox too which seems like a bit odd in the modern age. Higher framerate too apparently but should be taken for granted, no excuse for this running under 120fps. Achievements I don't care about.
...that's where your expectations aren't aligned then - these aren't remakes, they're just re-releases with some updated resolutions/widescreen and in the case of the Switch, multiplayer working online.
Edit - and I think the reason for the difference in online multiplayer is because they are literally re-releases, the Switch Online N64 emulator is what does the local to online multiplayer conversion work, not the games themselves.

Sure, as I said above my expectation is just based on what I normally see, I can think of hardly any 25 old games that just get a bog standard re-release, it's nearly always a significant remaster/remake. Quake got a remaster, old C&C games got a remaster, Diablo2 got a remaster etc.
I appreciate this is maybe a bit different in the sense that it was a Nintendo-only game rather than having a history on PC, but there's been plenty of games in the past that have had new networking implemented as part of a remaster.

'Bog standard re-release' is pretty much the entire scope of the Switch Online N64 Expansion package and the Rare Replay package on XBox.
I don't know about the Rare Replay stuff but the Switch Online is essentially nothing more than an official N64 emulator - it's never pretended to be providing remakes or anything of the sort.
