Next Half-Life Won't Change Gordon Freeman

[jimmysmitty]

Freeman needs no word. Just a crowbar to speak for him.

 

[pojih]

honestly, the only franchise that I have loved every minute of is/was half life.

Something about everyone talking to YOU - thats what its about, if I wanted the person I'm playing to talk, I'd rather watch a movie

Oh come on... remember DeusEx maybe?

This is obviously a sly dig at Duke Nukem and his repertoire of witty observations. Probably a good idea they leave the talking to the man who kicks ass and chews bubble gum.

I agree... the player is "Gordon Freeman"
Maybe Valve could put voice recognition software in the next installment so the players could vocally interact... then we would truly be "Gordon Freeman"

 

[Steven Bancroft]

I really hope Gordon never does get a voice. That being said, who would be the best voice (at least what you image he sounds like in your head)?

I always think of Tom Hanks

CSSS??

Counter-strike Super Source

Has anyone gotten HL2 to work on Windows 7? I can't seem to get it to load.

 

[JohnnyLucky]

I guess you could say he is the strong silent type!

I stopped playing Half Life 2 when I realized you couldn't shoot the cops or your friends. Not that I do that, but I want the option to be there. I like the environment a interactive as possible.

I was playing it the other day, it seems to work fine

Does it give you an error?

Yup, I installed it from the orange box, steam did its thing and it works fine, all episodes.

What version is it?

[citation][nom]aethm[/nom]I usually don't like it when they give protagonists voices. How about a silent, but choice based communication system, like Dragon Age.[/citation]Sounds like it would work pretty well although I think it would put too many twists into an already twisty game. Don't you think?

 

[david714]

I just hope that they also update Counter Strike!

 

[FrPSh]

As everyone else seems to agree, the player becomes Gordon Freeman. A big part of what made this game so immersive was having Gordon be the silent scientist he was. I think this is probably my favorite game ever. I can't wait for Episode 3.

 

[isamuelson]

Nope. Leave Freeman alone. No need to change him now. It would just ruin it completely.

You can shoot the cops, and shooting your friends would ruin the... heroicness and narrative of Half-Life. I mean seriously, I don't think they'd be worshipping this guy if he went killing them all. Its not an RPG where you can just do whatever you like, its Half-Life.
