Not really.... Its so overanimated it feels nothing like Gman should. He shouldnt be waving around so much with so excessive and quick expressions. He is meant to be eerily stoic and reserved with some slow and usually creepy expressions. It missed the mark completely. Look at ending in HL Alyx he is still like he is in HL2 in this regard. Slow expressions, some creepy expression from time to time with hallucinatory effects. He looks like he's on coke in these fan remakes

His lazy eye is so uncanny, let alone in VR

Heart to heart had this problem big time. I can take him more seriously in this one, because he is supposed to be philosophical alien being that we don't understand and we have to put the pieces back together. In the heart to heart animation for it it seemed like he isn't taking what he says seriously and just constantly smiles with no repercussions, even though we clearly knew before hand that he has problems with the vortigaunts, so he wants to make sure that Freeman does exactly what he wants so things can happen correctly. This one he isn't smiling as much which I really appreciate and you can clearly see moments where he doesn't want to screw himself at what he wants to say to Freeman.

I agree, I think Mike Shapiro or maybe Valve themselves (not sure) confirmed that G-man was voiced with a speech pattern that was intentionally misleading and hard to interpret. The older more static facial expressions of Half Life 2 are actually more befitting of G-man for that reason. G-mans facial expressions was the only thing that bothered me about the ending of Half Life Alyx. That and the fact that Alex Vance just talked way too much, she just kept on talking and asking questions and it annoyed me.

Holy shit, Gareth. After seeing the Source 2 remake of "Heart-to-heart" I've been searching for this particular scene for days. And then you just come along and deliver it to us. I love you, man. Thank you so much.

The little moments where he looks away from the camera are _so good._ Seriously impressive work!

You know, looking back at this same speech but at original animation, It almost felt to me he got lazy or drifted away when he took that several seconds pause. ( 0:36 ) Now I can see his expression changing, a process in his mind, as he continues with his monologue. That alone definitely would have improved the first impression from the game. Edit: Now that I look at him closely.. I actually think it almost looks like Gman hears Gordon's response and reacts to it, but follows up with a "reassuring" , famous quote we all know now, to make sure he doesn't doubt himself.

@chaosboss1033

Imo those several seconds are him trying to let what he just said sorta sink in. To be clear gman has little regard for humanity and likes using riddles and nonchalantly is describing the events of the seven hour hour in a way as if he’s toying with Gordon. But even he for a few seconds needed to serious and wipe the smile of his face because of how significant what he said was

He got a little tan between HL1 and Alyx and then he just kinda sat in the dark in a cold mountain top cabin for a while between Alyx and HL2 (I'm assuming Alyx takes place before HL2 because I've been avoiding all plot details for the game to go in blind, now I'm thinking about it I should probably avoide watching videos about Valve games in general unless they're spoiler free).

It's interesting seeing the different interpretations of the G-Man. In Coyote's remake of the EP 2 speech, the movements are more realistic (hell, the head was mocapped!), whereas in this one, G-Man moves like he did in Half Life 2.

Absolutely Amazing Work!

Actually in VR he's quite intimidating. You get a sense of his height and it's just on the hairy edge of being unnaturally tall (for example, I'm 6'2 and he's a few inches taller than me), and when he gets in your personal space it's kind of unnerving. Problem is, if you watch this all on a video instead of experiencing it inside of VR, it fucks with the newfound scale and presence he has. His more realistic looking appearance only enhances the creepiness when he makes an off kilter facial expression or does something odd.

Same could be said about the Half Life Source model, the HLS model makes Gman look just like a normal person in comparison to the Scientists and Guards, which may just be because of technical limitations and the fact the port was highly rushed.

He is a bit overanimated. Gman is meant to be really reserved, alien with how barely expressive he is. Having him so over animated just looses this important part of his presense. Look at Half life Alyx ending, he is just as reserved as in HL2, slow reactions, and few creepy expressions but mostly stoic and reserved.
