GASP! G-Man finally using the gun that has been in his briefcase since the 90s!

[@MRTAZER]

He had a silenced handgun

[@CatsT.M]

@@MRTAZER _Shhhhhh,_ he probably just removed it.

[@oculartremors]

So he allowed himself to get captured even before being put into the Vault, just to set the injured Vort free (to help Alyx later on)? You have some interesting ideas. This was really well done, too.

[@KorianHUN]

It is so well animated too. You can see the elites being confused or straight up scared. The Overwatch announcer voice even sounds scared. It seems like the Combine know who that is and that they are bound by certain rules when interacting with them, but they know that a Gman being visible to them is a BIG thing as they only show up when they want to.

[@Hyde-dg7ef]

one theory involving gman is pretty much that: that for whatever reason(s) known only to gman or his employers (if such "employers" even exist in the first place), he was disappointed with how hl2 ep2 turned out with eli's death and dissatisfied with freeman's performance and wants to find a replacement. Then thats when gman notices alyx and sees something in her that makes her a worthy replacement. Knowing that her father dies in the future and that she rly cares for her father, he lets himself get captured and then waits for alyx to free him, so that when she does, he can lure her with "something you don't know that you want." ie: prevent her father from dying in hl2 ep2

[@manatipowa]

@@Hyde-dg7ef Which begs the question, did the vault really contain him? was he always capable of leaving if he wanted? like if things had gone wrong and Alyx failed to rescue him or Eli warned her, what then?

[@Hyde-dg7ef]

@@manatipowa who knows really. Gman had the ability to travel across the dimensions and has the ability to put things into stasis. While combine technology is nothing to be scoffed at, we have no idea if the prison was really capable of containing him

[@wolfcl0ck]

The concept of the Gman setting up the events of Alyx by capping a metro is really funny to me.

[@DeathcurseJR]

The metro cop probably didn’t know how big a aid too the rebellion he was

[@HydraDominatus_XX]

“Don’t mind me, just casually turning reality into my playground.” - Gman

[@elwetritsch3654]

In half life the gman has a black mesa suitcase maybe the g man is a human with time travel technology and is trying to play god. I think he maybe was an employee at black mesa and has stolen experimental portal tecnology.

[@BEANBOYOBEANITH]

@@elwetritsch3654 he had a black mesa suitcase to blend in as black mesa personnel. if he were human, he couldnt have all these powers?

[@elwetritsch3654]

@@BEANBOYOBEANITH Well it was just a theory i dont know who the gman is.

[@milan64982]

​@@elwetritsch3654i think the gmen are at war with the combine and there strategy consists of tricki g other people to do the work

[@OGSnoberry]

Gman: *lets himself be captured* Responding Combine & Guards: *nervously* "What the fuck?"

[@pocketrug1103]

I like how you are maintaining Gman's presence as a surgical tool rather than a force of nature, very well done.

[@Pikminiman]

You really have a way with composition and atmosphere.

[@HALFPEEPS]

tysm!

[@suzanamarkovic483]

[@barrythechopper]

I always wondered why an entity like him needs a gun in his briefcase.

[@goodfinity8432]

The level of cinematography in this is goddamn!

[@Zekiran]

I love how well thought out these things are. I can't play Alyx for a number of reasons, so I have my own headcanon (and aside from that my own very much not-canon AU stuff) so it's beautiful to see how you interpret and extrapolate what might have gone on. The lighting as usual is just ... jaw dropping. Amazingly well animated, and thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@thatonecrimsonecho]

Non-canon AU stuff? 👀 Sounds interesting!

[@Dicerollball]

It’s very clear he got himself captured on purpose to do two specific things. 1: Of course, save the Vort who will be important for future events… And 2: Attention. G-Man had to grab the Combine’s attention, so he made himself known and allowed them to see just what he was capable of. That way the Combine could focus on creating the vault in order to capture him later down the line. By itself it’s an odd string of events that those present at the time wouldnt be able to explain, but in the future it all makes sense and connects

[@BananawithJaundice]

Yeah that in total leads to him being able to soon meet Alyx when she tries breaking "Gordon" out of the vault and ending up having him employ Alyx

[@LCOfficerUNIT097]

Seeing the Elite soldiers in HD was really something.

[@vibes951]

Absolutely phenomenal! The fact films like this haven't blown up yet is astounding. You've gained a new subscriber.

[@HALFPEEPS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mergan2001]

I like to think since we have never seen the gman interact with directly/ kill a person that doing this resulted in him being punished by his superiors and his capture

[@debbiebernhardt5406]

He hadn’t annoyed the enemy enough, he had teleported there just to get them interested in finding out how he managed to cause that much damage in a short period.

[@Randomdu8e]

I love how mysterious gman is and how much free will

[@Zero-Creator]

Это потрясающая история, которая бы открыла действительный смысл действий G-Man. Я и не додумался сам, о том, что в серии Half-Life: Alyx G-Man сам мог сдался Альянсу, и это входило в его планы. В любом случае это интересная задумка и сам ролик вышел прикольный

[@m.o.r.d.o.r.]

Я об этом сразу же подумал.

[@debbiebernhardt5406]

Well he took a page out of freeman

[@wassim20027]

An amazing work thanks to everyone who made an efforts to make this movie ❤️

[@HALFPEEPS]

It's just me! And thank you

[@wassim20027]

It's just an amazing work keep going can't wait the film

[@concept5631]

Gman with a gun is terrifying

[@Alffraido]

i doubt elites would have existed. Alyx didnt encounter them so its very unlikely that elites were a thing until later. And the CItedal's alarm wasnt like that during HLA days. but still pretty good :)

[@LordVader1094]

You have no way of knowing. Why would they only be a thing post-Alyx?

[@Alffraido]

@@LordVader1094 I guess elites were probably only to protect breen like in hl2, but i can see how they wouldn’t have really been doing much outside the citadel before alyx causing problems

[@yannickkaeding1439]

Le résultat est toujours à la hauteur de l'attente. Un travail magnifique comme toujours. Je persiste à dire que cela mériterait de faire une série ou un film afin de nous plonger plus profondément dans l'univers d'Half-Life. Cette interprétation libre nous permet d'avoir les réponses aux questions qu'on se pose et c'est tout bonnement génial. Un grand bravo et merci. Vivement la suite!!!

[@thatonecrimsonecho]

This deserves so much more attention! The animation, the lighting, the story, everything about this is absolutely amazing! Your ideas at play here are incredibly interesting!

[@HALFPEEPS]

Thank you so much!

[@thatonecrimsonecho]

Of course! Probably one of the best first impressions I could’ve gotten from this channel!

[@CenturyRev]

You deserve your 100,000 subscribers goal!

[@HALFPEEPS]

That's super kind ❤️❤️❤️

[@Michi_Exiled]

Wow, that was actually very cool and cinematic Also, I'm in love with the visuals

[@cerofgmodmachinimas]

this looks amazing, specially with minecraft soundtrack going in the background

[@lambdarokh]

Very cool! Love the concept you made for the G-Man. Also upvote for Resistance Revenge 3 and Monomyth

[@SB-qm5wg]

G-man has great hair

[@RobertsSmoothieInstitute]

Look at that Gman. 👀

[@tiramicyG]

Ой, какой молодец. Столько работы, офигеть просто. Персонажи вообще отпад. Я не могу написать конструктивный комментарий, потому что мои эмоции просто такие:📈📈📈. Чувак, ты супер, продолжай в том же духе!!!💖💖💖

[@tiramicyG]

Кстати, твоя история по поводу этого просто прям очень хороша. Короче, блин, ты самый лучший аниматор sfm, как по мне. Пока одни снимают видео, где модельки просто корчат рожу, то ты просто над каждой мелочью работаешь. Обожаю тебя, бро💖.

[@DiversionDude]

Haven't checked your channel in a while. These are some serious improvements!

[@u82g73r9842tgs09he29]

Красота. Жаль нет полноценного фильма по Вселенной халвы.

[@silent0089]

kinda makes sense why G-Man is in the Vault but would've been quicker if he could just take Alyx away or is it just his way of a warning to the combine empire?

[@debbiebernhardt5406]

He took freeman weapon that made them think freeman did it.

[@LouliAdam]

​@@debbiebernhardt5406 what freeman weapon you talking about?

Really high-quality work. Just damn goosebumps...🥰🥰

[@Shadow-vg7pb]

Half life Alyx now got the Combine Elite?? NICEEE

[@devastater97]

Explains why Nova Prospekt looks like a bomb went off inside it.

[@codsterbroman8642]

Its so jarring to see GMan use a gun but at the same time he always has one in his briefcase

[@richardavelino7383]

Then he walked here. Then he walked there. Then he walked here again.

[@brauliorivera2564]

This short film took place in 2021 after the events of half life alyx in 2019 and before the events of half life 2 in 2024 and portal 2 in 2074.

[@Robloxplayer456-kk3wv]

I like the idea, I just don’t think the GMan would appear like that though, I have never thought of GMan going after a simple civil protection cop just to shoot them, get sent to a prison that later gets blown up by a scientist and all that, I think it’s just weird how it happened.

[@possiblyabear451]

Man, that poor CP at the start. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@elmartinos175]

This is masterpiece you deserve this.

[@HALFPEEPS]

Thank you so much

[@ukrofun2853]

Сюжет Half-Life: "Ох, сейчас как развернемся!!" G-Man : " Ну-ну, попробуй"

[@AustroStudios2003]

HL Fan content from the G-Man's perspective is not something I've seen yet. This is nice.

[@oskarlarsson8534]

Very nice work from a VFX standpoint, but the concept of G-man having to resort to such crude measures seem to run at odds with the near omnipotence of his character.

[@wakeup2.369]

очень круто!!! раньше думал что в UE5 делается это)))

[@p3p3k1]

Thank you for this masterpiece !

[@Shredderbox]

Beautifully done!

[@MorphingReality]

that was really good

[@tyskbulle]

I would guess G-man never intended to be captured at first That he was genuinely thankful to Vance for releasing him He must abide by his "restrictions" and cannot see all ends Keeping Eli alive in EP2 must have been crucial for his plans

[@romilgrapp]

This is amazing and really impressive! Well done! The only thing I didn't like is G-man using a gun and missing his signature suitcase. Seems out of character.

[@waffler-yz3gw]

cons: -gman doesnt have his suitcase (what the hell) pros: -anything else about this

[@KPril_]

Yessssss

[@blackninja738]

Waiting for this to come out to play

[@kethshan9833]

Ngl this could be an interesting mod

[@Frostwind]

This is a beautiful and well done animation, but I dont understand elites and a helicopter coming after a single person for killing a civil protection unit.. Much less the status of elites existing in this timeline or what they would canonically look like at this point in time. I don't want to bash it because it's SO WELL DONE!!! But at the same time it doesn't exactly click for me.

[@Charon_gmi]

At first it was a little silly but it turned out making sense

[@drods]

i never thought of gman having a gun in his hand

[@vispOVT]

Everything is perfect! But I had no clue what was going on tho/

[@NebKrahe]

So weird seeing Gman just shooting someone

[@Cpt_H00K911]

just the idea of gman carrying a gun feels like an insult he is way stronger than this

[@emyrr8638]

My eyes are so happy for seeing this.

[@SkilledNub]

EPic

[@yournamehere2093]

So basically gman gives a character an objective that the character doesn’t know he sets the vort free so that he can guide the character

[@aidentheonion]

i find it so funny that g-man just has G U N

[@flynneugene2675]

Gman wouldn't interfere if it wasn't for his own use

[@Cpt_H00K911]

so basically he is responsible for this only one free vortigaunt

[@tylen4ik1337]

I never thought I'd seen G-man with a gun

[@Mr.GigaChad]

Fucking incredible.

[@zgqqzhang4707]

W Gman. Average reality bending enjoyer.

[@d1ron613]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@pixelbot7161]

Круто

[@rgbforever4561]

Control your bloom mate

[@meemeleem]

it’s interesting seeing the elites here as opposed to some more metrocops or just soldiers for (to their knowledge at the time) just one guy who did one murder, was there any particular reason for that or do i just have my time messed up?

[@paulspencer2542]

Very Very well done

[@zefft.f4010]

As a transdimensional alien entity, it makes sense for the G-Man to have non-human hires, maybe this isn't the first time he places this Vortigaunt in the wrong place, at the right time. I really like that idea.

[@Sc0tt0187]

Awesome man

[@obi-potobi790]

Wow, really nice.

[@TakNGaming92]

Wow. This is really well done. So where does this take place, in the Half-Life series? I did notice that it said, 6 months, before the wreck of the citadel. So is this like a prequel, or something? I look forward, to seeing what happens next. :)

[@user-tk2jy8xr8b]

That's not how you "nudge" things

[@EatingWaffles]

Wow this was sick

[@EnigmaPixel-d7m]

you cant stop g-man

[@seaman83]

keep doing gut stuff very good

[@ledanoir1239]

nice animation and ambience. However, couldn't he just teleport to the vortigaunt without being taken prisoner first?

[@Cringe_Dispencer]

Why would he need to be delivered there by the Combine if the dude can just teleport in and out of there?

[@5postman_russian525]

i dont know man... for some reason i would be proud, if the most powerful creature in HL lore will shot me, and the same moment i will pissed off - know that my dead body plays only little piece of entire his plan

[@ertyremains2017]

You are the iniciator 🔥

[@InfernalNull]

cool take on what fucked up nova prospekt before freeman even arrived

[@g11operator]
