Dead Gord'o'n?

Sorry for the silly subject title but if you look on this picture taken from the clip where the Strider kills the player you clearly see a dead person floating like they do when shot...is this Gord'o'n? All the other dead bodies had disappeared by the time he gets killed...

DeadGordan


And also something else weird...

Just as the strider fires you suddenly get a glimpse of the player holding the 357??? Weird...

357n
 
You'll get banned for misspelling Gordon, and no that's a citizen rebel guy.
 
Actually, as the strider hits you directly, I think that is your dead body....
 
If he was dead how come the guy playing could run around the map some more....
 
You can even see the body in the second picture that gets disintegrated. So it's not Gordon.

(Or Gordan)
 
That's the impression i got from that scene as well. It zoomed out to show Gordons dead body, which would totally break the rule of not seeing Gordon.

So i guess it's not his body but someone else.

What do you mean? Theres nobody near the player anymore when he dies and everyone that was shot vanish shortly after. You see that when he looks around...

P.s check the time on the second picture.....Its a second 'or less' before the first picture was taken :P

You watching the wrong strider clip...Isn't the fact that I put the time in not a big enough help?
 
I agree with the "never see gordon so can't be gordon" theory, but where did that guy come from. I'm sure there wasn't a rebel next to you.....
 
It looks like bodies that are already dead disintegrate as well.
 
Personally I'm of the belief that were going to be seeing a lot more of Gord'o'n ( :E )

As in mirrors, reflections, pictures...

I'm saying that they are the same body. And it doesn't look like it's wearing an HEV suit does it?

I think there was probably a rebel just out of site that got blasted into your field of view.

There are no mirrors, and therefore will be no reflections of Gordon in the game.
 
You should also note that when you die your shotgun flys off to the right side of the screen starting right next to the floating player model.
 
You look to your left a few seconds before you get shot. There's a guy with a rocket launcher who starts running towards you. I think it's him.
 
Unfortunately :(

I was going to mod in a mini-skirt wearing a cheerleader and i'd use the water to look up her skirt.

I dare anyone to think up something sadder than that. :bounce:

Yup also note Cameras = tv footage as well. Who's to say there won't be mirrors in the game anyways? Its certainly not impossible, most games using directx9 features have this implemented. Its not faked like it used to be anymore.

Check out max payne 2 , hitman contracts...both have perfectly mirrored enviroments.
 
I didn't say there wouldn't be mirrrors because Source can't implement them, I said there probably wouldn't be any because we're not going to be seeing Gordon's reflection in the game at all. They may be there, but you won't see him in the mirror.

But in orginal SP what VALVe is doing you cant see Gordon from mirror or like that. So I am understanded it...

Must....fix...spelling and...writing! :borg:
 
*waves* Hi I usually lurk around here and don't post but I thought I'd chip in my 2 cents on this one.

After the shot from the strider, you can see (only for a split second) that a gun is taken out. I forget the name of it at the moment but I have a SS for ya.

http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload5/NotDeadProof.jpg

So if the person died, why would a gun be taken out for? That doesn't make any sense. Granted it does disappear half a second later but, that's not the point. :cheese:

I think it's someone else other than gordon. And if you think about it, why didn't they do the 'zoom out' of Gordon's body in the second strider movie (where he's in the hole with the fire)
 
I personally think the reflection thing's ridiculous. If they've done so much to make the game realistic, it seems stupid to make you invisible in reflections just to stick to the "you are gordon" effect. Surely if you WERE Gordon, you'd look in the mirror occasionally.
I agree with the lack of 3rd person, but surely with reflections, you still are gordon.
 
Yeah its most probably the guy with the rocket launcher that runs towards the area u die at... Shame though.

Its annoying, but true I guess, that Valve will be limiting themselves with what they can add to the game (not the engine) in terms of the player. I'd love to see perfect reflections by mirrors but yeah, your right, thats not Valves style.
It bugs me that, with all the magazine covers and picture art, you see Gordon fighting combine and Xen aliens but yet the second you get in the game your supposed to be yourself...who's called Gordon :/


The way I see it if Valve include the original Halflife multiplayer deathmatch then they'll have to include player models and who else would be the default model other than Gordon Freeman? Personally I can't wait to see how good he looks and I'm keeping my fingers crossed he's used in singleplayer as well.
 
There are cameras in the game with screens. If you look at the screen of the camera aiming at you... itll show nothing.
 
Why? I really don't understand why you can't see yourself. I understand that YOU ARE GORDON, but what is being achieved by being invisible to cameras and mirrors? Is this even confirmed?
 
You'd See Your Cam Flip Over. You'd Never See Your Body And Float Out Of It. It Doesn't Happen, Period.
 
if were reflections we just see a person that move like a robot
like in HL1 multiplayer, the players move like stupid robots
in my opinion there are not mirrors for that
 
Here's the bottom line. Gordon/Gordan/Hordon is a vampire. That's why you don't see his reflection.
 
Yes....that would explain it.
I guess we'll have to wait and see, but it's going to look pretty stupid if you go up to a reflective surface and see no reflection. I doubt it's anything to do with how the characters move, as the animations seem excellent.

You make one little mistake......




:dozey:
 
Gordon is got some sideeffects from all the teleporting and explosions and stuff, so he lost his reflection... :p

Hell, maybe he isn't even there... all some kind of lucid dream implemented by the G-Dude

Maybe its like 6th sense and the Gman is the grown up kid?

Everyone else just has a habit of talking to themeselves whilst looking in a pointless direction...
