Half-Life 2's Intro with HL:Alyx's G-man [SFM] 

@Dick Thick'em prove that also do you really think they made this account when they were 3?

StrongAdel Dick is a 2005 kid projecting on others, that’s why he is getting so mad at others. Just ignore the troll lol

@@Xenomnipotent he doesn't seem like a troll to me at all, literally all he said is this is how he saw hl2 in 2004

@@PebsBeans he is refferring to dick thick'em

Not really.... Its so overanimated it feels nothing like Gman should. He shouldnt be waving around so much with so excessive and quick expressions. He is meant to be eerily stoic and reserved with some slow and usually creepy expressions. It missed the mark completely. Look at ending in HL Alyx he is still like he is in HL2 in this regard. Slow expressions, some creepy expression from time to time with hallucinatory effects. He looks like he's on coke in these fan remakes

Oh Christ, you're right. I never noticed that before. It's off *just* enough that it's hard for your brain to consciously register, but still noticeable enough that you can tell that there's something inherently *wrong.*

Tenia que ser SPEKA

I watched it 3 times now, cant notice anything

"heart to heart" looks good with Gman from source 2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XkzkFmn-a6s.html

Todd 200 Endings Howard it’s noticeable in the beginning because his right eye is slightly more to the right 0:15

I think he shows a lot of emotion in Ep1 and 2, even if it's mostly different variations of 'frustrated'. Also the old HL2 teaser video, but that's not canon...

Jack Pijjin ‘Frustrated’ as well as various forms of amusement- particularly towards the Vortigaunts and their willingness to help Freeman (smirking a bit when they begin blocking him off from Gordon at the start of Ep1, and then chuckling in Ep2 when he calls them his ‘friends’).

Heart to heart had this problem big time. I can take him more seriously in this one, because he is supposed to be philosophical alien being that we don't understand and we have to put the pieces back together. In the heart to heart animation for it it seemed like he isn't taking what he says seriously and just constantly smiles with no repercussions, even though we clearly knew before hand that he has problems with the vortigaunts, so he wants to make sure that Freeman does exactly what he wants so things can happen correctly. This one he isn't smiling as much which I really appreciate and you can clearly see moments where he doesn't want to screw himself at what he wants to say to Freeman.

yeah I agree, I actually thought in hla his face animations seemed a bit too emphasised like sometimes his eyes and mouth are way too wide

@@spengler2258 Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. :)

This isnt in the new engine

@@sparkie1j no one is implying that it is

@@timur5420 this dude literally is

@@sparkie1j maybe this dude is talking about how expressive he looks in the game, you can't tell

It's still the old engine. It's the just the new model imported into old Source.

that gman is a spy!

For me it looked like the Sniper lol

I thought it was the scout

@@kanoslayer2735 wot how?

@@mayethponce1190 That face/smile he makes around 0:23ish

Already happening but I don’t know the name of the project

Asta nvm it’s called “project quarantine “

That's the criticism I had with Gman in Black Mesa. He was way too expressive and excited to meet Freeman.

Half-Life: Source was actually a pretty bad port, which is why the crowbar collective made Black Mesa

@@F_I_J_I_W_A_T_E_R It was actually very good when it first came out, I'm not sure what happened to it, I think some updates messed it up and Valve never bothered fixing it

i see what you mean

I thought it was a parody when he said that 😂

Honestly what you wrote would be a great line for Gman if he ever got more corporeal. For instance in HL3VR if that ever happens

Freeman is an asset to Gman's employers....so he is valuable to them.

@@soundwave3092 I doubt they would make it in VR, it wouldn't sell well because most people don't have a VR and alot of Valve fans would be pretty upset at waiting more than decade for a game that they won't be able to play

Comparing both, This versions has his eyebrows moving and expressing WAYYYY too much but his upper cheeks/under eyes skin doesn't move AT ALL. The HL2 version has WAYYY less expressive eyebrows but MUCH more expression in the skins under the eyes/upper checks

It feels less realistic for me because G-Man himself looks more realistic with the new model, while the animation is a little too stiff for the new expressive and fluid G-Man.

Kind works for Gman

It kind of works to make him seem like he is trying to be human but subtly failing

I much prefer this old, stiff animation on this new model to the new animations on the new model. He's not supposed to be so fluid and natural, in my mind.

also, the animation is really good

He may not be that good at pretending to be human but he definitley got the teeth right

BEST TEETH IN THE FUCKING GAME

For a body that appears to be in maybe it's mid 50s, yeah he _does_ have good teeth...

According to Tyler, the same teeth model is used for every character in HL:A.

Different sort of "uncanniness" in "Alyx" - somewhat intended for the VR (with all its differences from flatscreen), and arguably - the same that was intended for HL2, but that wasn't achieved due to the technical limitations back at the time

*villainy

It's the wide eyes that doesn't really fit, but that's probably due to the animator and not the model.

@@gorgolyt Which word are you correcting? "He looks more 'villainy'" doesn't make much sense.

@@creeperhunterD villainesque

Same

Same

Not going to lie, yeah.

imo gman from HL: Alyx looks kinda wrong and weird. Not just in the HL2 Intro but in general, he doesnt look like hes G-Man...

As a home-sitter in quarantine time I aproove this message

@@sssprejer2831 my thanks good fellow

Yeah, it made him look more like a puppet. Like something was controlling him or he wasnt used to being in a human body. This just makes him look more normal

He looked great in HLA but every time someone else is doing facial animations with this new model they just don't get it quite right

I agree, I think Mike Shapiro or maybe Valve themselves (not sure) confirmed that G-man was voiced with a speech pattern that was intentionally misleading and hard to interpret. The older more static facial expressions of Half Life 2 are actually more befitting of G-man for that reason. G-mans facial expressions was the only thing that bothered me about the ending of Half Life Alyx. That and the fact that Alex Vance just talked way too much, she just kept on talking and asking questions and it annoyed me.

Yeah, if they want to make the expressions, they need to make them feel fake or give them a sense of being incorrect for a human.

You just use to it since it happened in 2004.

on source 2!

it is happening actually

Someone is already working on that.

@@rougephynox wait really? Whos doing it?

It's already perfect my friend

No

HL1 anti-mass spectrometer sound > every machinery generator reactory sound ever

I'm confident at saying that pretty much all sounds from HL1 are better. BM is pretty great, tho.

yeah I really love bm but a lot of hl1 sounds are nicer

The compression they used HL was iconic, but I really love the sounds from BM. It's a lot easier on the ears.

Are you waiting for modders to be able to make the game compatible with the average controller or keyboard?

''combine em'' hahahaha.. hahaha.. haha

@@hamhasmech5893 "Pick up that can".

**gunship crashes into video** already did

You're one of the eDiT : idiots? Shame on you.

@@southcarolinianentertainment what's wrong with edits

Freeman: I never got off...

Imo those several seconds are him trying to let what he just said sorta sink in. To be clear gman has little regard for humanity and likes using riddles and nonchalantly is describing the events of the seven hour hour in a way as if he’s toying with Gordon. But even he for a few seconds needed to serious and wipe the smile of his face because of how significant what he said was

Please someone make this a custom mod in hl2

He got a little tan between HL1 and Alyx and then he just kinda sat in the dark in a cold mountain top cabin for a while between Alyx and HL2 (I'm assuming Alyx takes place before HL2 because I've been avoiding all plot details for the game to go in blind, now I'm thinking about it I should probably avoide watching videos about Valve games in general unless they're spoiler free).

Its mostly in reference to original HL2's sequences, and to a lesser degree EP2 compared to this. In HL2 in particular he doesn't emote very much at all, only showing slight amusement at the end of both his speeches. Its why his very visibly frustration at the Vortigaunts in EP1 was a particularly notable moment. Similarly in EP2 his face doesn't really show much besides amusement and some hints of frustration. Not a critique against HL:Alyx tho, mind. He still feels uncanny there, just in a much different sort of way than what we've seen. His face does all sorts of expressions, but he still speaks in the same monotone voice - large disconnect between the emotion of his face and the emotion of his voice. His grins are also really unnerving - his lips are smiling but his eyes arent, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, he's too handsome

Actually in VR he's quite intimidating. You get a sense of his height and it's just on the hairy edge of being unnaturally tall (for example, I'm 6'2 and he's a few inches taller than me), and when he gets in your personal space it's kind of unnerving. Problem is, if you watch this all on a video instead of experiencing it inside of VR, it fucks with the newfound scale and presence he has. His more realistic looking appearance only enhances the creepiness when he makes an off kilter facial expression or does something odd.

I don’t think that’s entirely fair. The uncanny irregularities are a little more subtle, but I think they’re still present. The movements of his eyebrows and the luminescent eyes being the most obvious. The way his face is lit also helps sell the effect beyond just his character model.

WMan37 I agree it’s different in vr

There's a part in hl Alyx, in the end, when he teleports you to the space, that he becomes grayish, and there you can see the real gman

Oh, fancy seeing you here, I loved Azeroth roleplay! Yeah, I agree with you, I think it's mostly in the eyebrows and head movement. Would be a great animation for anybody other than Gman lol.

@@mr.nazareth4501 Glad You enjoyed it, sadly people dont host it to often anymore especially on...."Reforged". Stil cant flrgive Blizzard for what they have done to the game... As for Gman animations Coreyladdo animates HLA Gman much better, even in more memey videos 😅 Tbh he animates everything very well. He even was chosen to make cinematics to that Levitation mod for HLA. Komegatze is also really good. PS. Sorry for late reply 😅

I heard some people say that in VR he is very imposing and is very tall I guess.

Same could be said about the Half Life Source model, the HLS model makes Gman look just like a normal person in comparison to the Scientists and Guards, which may just be because of technical limitations and the fact the port was highly rushed.

But the voice

Oh my god Fade to black = hey you, you're finally awake Fade to white = I didn't see you get on
