Excuse me, but I was wondering something about one of the characters in Half Life, known mostly as the G-Man.
Was influence gained for the creation of G-Man from a book released in 1938 called G-Man on Lightning Island?
The synopsis of the book is as follows:
The story takes place in a shadowy, spooky mansion on an isolated island. A diamond is stolen and the G-man, who is visiting the island, solves the mystery.
The similarities are rather prevalent, both have a similar facial structure, (similar curvature of the lips, blue eyes, chin structure and slightly sagged cheeks) both wear suits and perhaps the most obvious thing that connects these facts is that they?re both known as G-Man.
I'm almost convinced that Half Life 2's G-Man is directly modelled from this old character. I'm not calling them on it or anything, I just find it very interesting.
From what little I can gather, G-Man on Lightning Island is an Investigator, whether he?s a psychopathic, master manipulating deity like Half Life's G-Man, is beyond me.
Anyone have any ideas?
