G-Man = Gordon Freeman?

For some reason the G-Man look with a beard and some glasses a bit like Gordon Freeman...

Could be possible or? Maybe Gordon just surmise that there is the G-Man. Maybe Gordon is a schizophrenic and the G-Man is his other side.

Woah...you just blew my mind. They do look somewhat alike.

Maybe the G-Man is gordon freeman from the future...he came back to guide his younger self to fight the aliens?

Argh. 15 of these threads at once on every single HL2 forum is enough. :mad: *hits head on wall*

Yea, and there was also a huge discussion on here about it... And I think I remember G-Man actually posting in that thread... I could be wrong though.

Well, the theory that the G-man is a future version of Freeman guiding himself through it all has been around for a while.

Someone erased Gordon's glasses, and compared the picture to a picture of G-Man. They looked incredibly similar. If anyone has that picture, post it.

He could be Freemans own personal Tyler Durden.

I always thought Genki had a slight similarity to Gordon. ;)

Hahahaha... I forgot about that part.

Apart from the "dying at the end of HL1" inconsistancy, I think that that's quite a valid theory.

So, the fact that the G-Man's receeding hairline is still slightly lower than Gordon's normal hairline has been completely missed?

Shephard didn't die at the end of OpFor. He was detained. Speculation is that since the Gman already had Gordon, he didn't need another dude, but as explained in his ending speech he didn't want to see Shephards potential go to waste. So the speculation is that the Gman is keeping him as a "backup", in case Gordon fails or something.

As for all the "Gman is Gordon", "Gman is Gordon's father", "Gman is Gordon from another dimension", "Gman is Gordon's step-uncle's second cousin twice removed" or what have you theories, the only evidence to support it is that they look slightly similar (and honestly, I don't see it myself)

There's also the issue of Gordon never speaking. That's kinda been one of the main gimmicks of the HL series in that the main character never speaks. If the Gman were Gordon, and you obviously hear the Gman speak quite a bit, it would just be weird.

Personally I don't think we'll ever really know who or what the Gman is. I have my own theories, but I wouldn't be surprised if valve never told us for sure.
Moo.

G-Man talks. Gordon Freeman doesn't talk. The End. It's a Mini™ Adventure.

(Edit: Damn Cow beat me to it. Better post an acknowledgement before some moron points out that I was posting something that had already been posted.


DISCLAIMER: I am aware of the fact that A_Big_Fat_CoW posted this observation before me. However being that it was only two minutes before my post, and that it took me longer than that to read this thread, and that I didn't bother to refresh the page before replying, and taking into account the time it takes for me to write my reply, I was simply unaware that this had been previously pointed out. Please refrain from pointing out that I had posted useless, old, previously posted information. Thank you.)

So what if Gordon never speaks but the Gman does? Gordon could sound exactly like the Gman (because he is the Gman), but he never speaks in game so as to mystify the audiences even more, and so they don't figure it out! Just specualting. ;)
DO NOT WANT.
2005-02-23, 12:03 PM #27
yeah maybe Gordon is.....
