Hi, I do not know how many of you have seen this, i just found it and was a little dumb founded. I can not read the site but I think it is saying that the Gman and Freeman is one in the same. I am guessing that the Gman is from the future or something.

Here the website: http://www.k-foren.de/showthread.php?t=78899

Here are the pic's to prove it:

The G-man's face looks much thinner. The ears are quite different too, but I suppose in the world of Half-Life 2 anything is possible.

You can tell they're not the same because they're wearing different clothes.

Seriously... it makes no sense that gordan would come back to watch gordan shoot the crap out of aliens in H1, but then again, some games have done stranger...

That would be very cool if the G-Man was Gordon in the future. I mean, his name is G-Man... What better evidence is there than that??

And he can't be Gordon Government Man, that would be GGMan.

You can't really pick out facial details, it's whatever the heck Valve wants to do with it.

i havnt played HL2 yet or anything (waiting for my copy to arrive ) but my guess would say that people are just being stupid and arnt realizing that the two guys were probably made by the same person(s).

This debate is all over the internet. It could be as simple as the real life guy that modeled for the characters are one in the same but the characters in the game are different.

Ahh, but in the above images, G-Man is a model where as Gordon is a piece of concept art! Da-dum!

H2 has it.... but I can't find a site that explains why

Only Gordon model in Half-Life 2 is the Half-Life 1 Gordon Model transferred as a test/place-marker while they were working on the MDL v2.0 Format. Hense why it has no textures.

Mis-heard. What he says at the end para-phrasing is
"Gordon, I'm sorry but your time here is up. But then there never does seem to be enough time for men like us. For now you will have to leave, perhaps you will return again when you are needed. Until then Gordon."

Something along those lines. A very Kryptic end to a very thin story. Your more taken in to thier world for half a day, just to cause hell. I'd love to know why 'The Free Man' became a legend.

[edit] The last blend image looks like Clark Kent. heh

The hl1 model is far too low-quality to discern any similarity/difference between gman and gordon.

And where is this Gordon HL2 model?
