G-man - the observer

[A.I.]

Do you think that G-man will be watching us through the game like in HL1?

Seems like a harder task to do in City 17, since it's so large and you'll be travelling across huge landscapes (beaches, lakes etc.)

G-man just makes a phonecall and he gets a personal portal...

Nah, he likes to run it, he wants to keep in shape.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

It would definitely be cool. Maybe you'll see him interrogating a citizen looking through a hole in a prison door or something, but I expect him to pop up in various places, just as in HL1 / OF

 

[Feath]

Hmm, I didn't think of that. I hope he is. In certain sections.

 

[aku ankka]

Probably even more since they´re good friends and all that now.

(Didn´t Valve mention at some point that they were going to get into the relationship between gordon and Gman more thoroughly this time?)

 

[Crusader]

I wonder if bullets will still bounce off him...

From an interview at hl2.gamingsource.co.uk

Q:Hoaxer(nickname of interviewer): Weird question, but...will the G-Man be invulnerable again?

A:Gabe Newell: Do not shoot the G-Man. Bad bad idea.

Then I intend to shoot him with a very big gun.

I will test what will happen when I shoot at G-Man.
I think he wont die, but you will die in 1,5sec.

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Should be interesting to find out what happens if you do shoot him...




Did I say when, I meant if!


Nar I probably wont, I wana fully appeciate this game...

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

I'm guessing he will warp out...and you'd get flooded with 10000+ enemies...

or better yet...he warps you back to fight those grunts from hL1(if you declined his offer)

 

[Dead-Inside]

I guess it's back to using all the tricks in the book (Satchel n' nades anyone?).

 

[Wilco]

Err Marksman did you mean "Did I say if? I meant when!"...

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Heh, shhh purhaps no one else will notice!

 

[el Chi]

Mmmm, certainly is tempting.
I imagine he'll send you to a room/area similar to the one which was full of beasties if you declined his offer of employment. I don't see the G-Man as the sort of fellow to his hands particularly messy.

 

[monkeydust]

I bet he would kill you after deleting all of your saved games if you tried to shoot him.

 

[slicktick]

No you back up your saved games, and then shoot him, that way they cant delete your saved games, mokeydust. But i definatly think he will be watching you, if he doesnt, maybe Breen or someone else will watch you.

lol character* character*

 

[Bio]

If you shoot the g-man he will poke you in the eye with a stick.

 

[Triggerhappy41]

he will morph into the alien that he truly is. The ass kicking of gordon will be prompt. Other than that, the teleport idea is a good one.

 

[A.I.]

I think the way Gabe said "bad, bad idea" gives me the creeps. It's just like in those b-movies when a retarded guy warns the main character not to poke his nose where he shouldn't. And then bad, bad things happen...

 

[KagePrototype]

Funny, because Gabe saying bad bad idea just seems like him making a joke to me.
