Gordon Freeman... in the flesh

BlazeKun · Jun 6, 2003

Edit> Changed the whole post as original pictures are no longer valid and served no real purpose. Enjoy.

As you can see in the first image, the Camera is pointing directly at Gordon. Note that the TV does not actually show Gordon. Also note that this frame of the video was exactly 1 frame before the Gordon picture. Might be cause of video lag? strange in any case.

The second image contains the picture of Gordon, Unretouched.

The third image is the same as the second, except I've outlined him.
I suck at drawing. Tracing on another hand is a different story. As you can see the outline LOOKS human. This is because I traced it.

What do you all think?

So you gunna pass that joint or what?

SpuD · Jun 6, 2003

..... what the hell are you on?

aohus · Jun 6, 2003

HAHAHA

HAHAHAH urseus, youre feckin hilarious, and by the way, what the **** did you do with that joint, you utterly destroyed it.

BlazeKun · Jun 6, 2003

Ok enough. Time for details. This was the part in the tech demo where Gordon picked up the camera and shot it at the TVs. This is what the camera is seeing after it bounces away from the TV. I have very good reason to believe that this IS Gordon. In the picture you can see the fire room clearly which is to Gordons right. When Gordon shoots the TV the camera clearly goes to the left of Gordon. Thus if the camera is spinning, and taking crystal clean pictures even after being shot at a TV, it might possibly point at Gordon at some point in time.

The fire room shows that the camera WAS pointing in his general direction. And the blob looks mysteriously like Gordon if you look at it carefully.

Thoughts?

SpuD · Jun 6, 2003

oooh, thanks blaze, you cleared it up a lot.

Mr. Redundant · Jun 6, 2003

use the brightness/gamma controls on your vidcard/monitor and you will notice the picture is upside down (Im looking at the video with my 9800 pro's overlay, its not gordon, just the cam slightly catching an obscure angle of the "fire room" the brownish part at the top being the ground.

I'm not going to reply to this...

...wait a minute, but I just did

simmo · Jun 6, 2003

ub3rbr0k3 · Jun 6, 2003

to me it looks like a floating grav gun...

BlazeKun · Jun 13, 2003

Better pictures

Ok ok digging up a slightly old thread here. But I just found out the fileplanet video is "new and improved" or something and redownloaded it. Thus I have better pictures of what I believe to be Gordon!

ValVed RaY · Jun 13, 2003

wow it is the hero

i saw the video again thnx for pointing it out

JunkieXL · Jun 13, 2003

OMG ITS GOD

tokin · Jun 13, 2003

damn nice work.

BlazeKun · Jun 13, 2003

Now when anyone asks if the game will have reflections of Gordon... The answer is yes!!!

Farrowlesparrow · Jun 13, 2003

Man some people ahve alot fo time. Me included i just dont spend it usefully working out stuff in hl2

Idolon · Jun 13, 2003

shouldn't he be looking up?
the outline you made looks a little to bent over.
the glowing thing should be the manipulator.
and maybe the bulge to the right of it the head...
but i don't know...

BlazeKun · Jun 13, 2003

Henrik, the camera is right side up and tilted. So yeah my outline is a little bent over. The legs were nearly impossible to trace because it is a lot darker closer to the ground.

Edit> Oh and about the glow of the manipulator. The in game model for the manipulator most likely isn't finished. It's probobly just a placeholder. The visible to you and visible to others weapons models were different in HL1. Maybe this will be the same in HL2?

Idolon · Jun 13, 2003

yeah thats true..
didn't notice that

good job

JunkieXL · Jun 13, 2003

better seen, I think.

SidewinderX · Jun 13, 2003

wow....

this is going to shut down by a swarm of special ops worms.

/me is really really tired

Mr.Reak · Jun 13, 2003

Amazing guys! Is it fire on background? I guess it if from last room. Anyway, now one more question, will we see him in water

?

ValVed RaY · Jun 13, 2003

actually gordon is really BARNEY!!!

JunkieXL · Jun 13, 2003

OMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFJ

ValVed RaY · Jun 13, 2003

i guess most people missed my find

this is a *BUMP*

Mr.Reak · Jun 13, 2003

What do you want us, to laugh?

Here: HA HA

ValVed RaY · Jun 13, 2003

Wesisapie · Jun 14, 2003

Yeah, spend more time so you can be a complete loser spending over 5 minutes on a joke.

Wait no, don't. Keep it how it is.

Dile · Jun 15, 2003

Oh, I found out, that it isn't Gordon. But It's too early now, I'll prove it later...

Dux · Jun 15, 2003

Whens the last time some of you saw daylight?

Its a thread about a camera seeing Gordon on the Video screen from an incomeplete build of Half-life 2. In the time you did all that maybe you could have done something more worthwhile with the time that was given to you?

simmo · Jun 15, 2003

god...that picture freaked me out, i cant believe we are seeing godon in the flesh before the games released...shame bout the quality tho

It has been confirmed by Valve that because this is a recorded demo and not played in real time, slight timeing problems occur. They said this in response when someone e-mailed them about the fact that the combine who is crushed by a dumpster starts to die before the dumpster actually hits him. I think this is a similar thing.

Lordblackadder · Jun 15, 2003

I suppose if one looks hard enough they'll see Gordon.

Me, I like to watch my dog smile.

Dile · Jun 15, 2003

OK, its proving time!

Look closely on the first picture, no comment...

http://www.tar.hu/dile/FRAME1.jpg

The second and the third picture is to understand what we can see on the screen. One is upside down, just as the camera could have been.

http://www.tar.hu/dile/FRAME2.jpg
http://www.tar.hu/dile/FRAME3.jpg

I think the object we thought was gordon is a shade, or something too dark(maybe a boiler and its shadow), and is marked by a red circle on each pic. Considering the angle of the camera's view, this is more than possible.

Lordblackadder · Jun 15, 2003

My dog just winked at me.

I'll bet he's thinking about bacon, cause he's smiling so brightly.

LOL

Murray_H · Jun 15, 2003

I went out my back gate once, and my dog followed me to it. He put his nose through the bars so i sadi to him "you aint seen me, right" and he winked at me

I love dogs
