Has The G-Man Aged?

[Operational]

This might have been discussed before but I searched to no avail so...

It goes without saying that all the characters in HL2 have aged since HL1 except for Gordon. But what about the G-Man - has he aged? It is hard to tell, HL graphics being what they are, but I do think that it is possible.

Pics (Eli for comparison)

Since the G-Man is almost certain not to be human, I don't think his human form has aged.

The second picture of the HL2 version of the G-Man looks younger than the first picture of the HL2 version of the G-Man.

But no, I think he looks about the same. As for Eli, he does indeed look older.

 

[Asknoone]

As a human, no.

 

[kingkuttar]

I think he has, but probably very slowly (his human form has aged slightly and as a potential alien he could age slowly). He can manipulate time but he does not have complete control over it.

you cant really tell from low resolution textures to high resolution lol.

I think the hair (colour and thickness) gives the best indication that he hasn't aged much.

 

[Cheomesh]

No, he hasn't aged.

Thread fails.

He even looks younger to me in the second picture...

 

[Barnz]

That's a pre-release image.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Nope.

 

[Saltpeter]

He rejuvenates. You know. Plastic surgery. I heard he's gonna have a buttoned down 80s shirt with chest hair coming out of it in Episode 2. Teh sexeh.

 

[Asknoone]

Seems pretty doubtful for a guy who flits outside of time and space when he wants.

 

[Lobster]

All that power and influence on the universe, and he still finds time to change his Tie at least once.

Has Mario aged?

 

[Barnz]

Nope.

First image (it's from Wiki) shows the retail G-Man. Second image (for the first time) appeared on the PC Gamer USA, Half-Life 2 preview back in 2K3.

Edit: Oh wait, you were referring to poll question, right? Damn!

mario

He has gotten, if anything, less wrinkly in his old age.

Yep

 

[Azner]

He has grown YOUNGER

Srisly

 

[Sloth]

Not a gray hair on him! He lives within Time and Space, somehow doubt that he has aged.

Kleiner's aged incredibly well. He doesn't look any different to how he looked at Black Mesa(15 years previous?)

Was wondering about that myself.

 

[Robert-]

Wow, Mario's overalls actually look like JEANS! :O

 

[Animontius]

G-man had such smooth features at black mesa.

Especially considering its a picture of Eli Vance.

He's certainly changed from the knees down at least.
