Gordon Death Animations

[vorinoch]

Sorry if this has been discussed before. So, at the end of the new trailer at the official HL2 website, when the Strider charges up that blast that apparantly bends space-time or something, Gordon ostensibly gets killed by it, and from what I can tell the game then switches to a 3rd person view and you watch Freeman go flying. (I'm not totally sure about this, I only watched the video once, alcohol was indeed involved, and I'm currently posting this from a 56k machine and don't feel like redownloading it.)

This isn't neccesarily a complaint... just wondering if VALVe removed the death "sequence" from HL1 where you'd just stay in 1st person, hit the ground and listen to your heart stop. Because, seriously, that was the best thing ever.

Actually if you go frame by frame, you will see that it is a person in front of him who gets fried. So dont worry about it.

The general opinion is that the body was someone else´s. I guess there was some proof too.

 

[Biozeminade]

I believe the dead body you saw was a scientist.

You never EVER see Gordon in third person. NEVER.

You ARE Gordon.

I don't know if it was the best thing ever, but I guess it was pretty cool.

There wasn't much proof, but one of the players allies starts running towards you before the player dies. When the player dies, he's blown backwards and you end up being this ally.

f|uke : Right, that's what I was a little worried about. If they had a few moments of cutscenes, even in death animations, it'd feel just a little like blasphemy. Suspension of disbelief and suchlike.

Right,. I remember one of the first single player HL1 mods that tried to continue the HL storyline.. It started out with a cutscene showing gordon talking to gman ( i believe ). I lost interest immediatly. Blasphemy.

Fluke, you are strange.

Thank god, for a moment there I thought I was going to have sleepless nights. Thanks for clearing that up, its really appreciated. Thanks again. I'm sorry.

I believe that was Todes Angst. Or maybe Redemption, since that shipped with Counter-Strike retail.

I dunno. I found both to be quite enjoyable.

 

[KagePrototype]

It was probably Half-Life: Invasion, I remember that cut scene dragging on a bit.

It was Redemption.

The strider shot bends light. This must be what confused people.
