[@maximdrake]

You should be the voice actor for the end segment with G-man in this game. They could use you.

[@DogsRNice]

They wanted it to be consistent with the original half life where gman and the barnies are voiced by the same person

[@maximdrake]

@@DogsRNiceThey're just denying themselves a better game at that point

[@GamePilLP]

@@DogsRNice That is reasoning beyond stupid. Using one actor for two voices is only viable if the person can do the voices you want. A game that tried this as well was Life is Strange and it made some scenes end up sounding like a person was talking to himself. The guy in Black Mesa just sounds like Barney got hit in the head by Freemans Crowbar one to many times. If you are doing a remake of something, at least get people that sound like the original guys. Especially when the characters voice is so iconic. The only exclusion in this case are the scientists and security guards since they are clearly not all supposed to be the same people like in the original. Getting the right voice for GMan is integral. If you are gonna take one thing from HDTF that was actually good, it was the GMan voice actor. Spot on performance.

[@DogsRNice]

GamePil first no need to be hostile Second Black missa

[@GamePilLP]

@@DogsRNice First Sorry if I came of as hostile. I wasn't trying to be. Second it was Black Messa and it realy isn't the voice actors fault when nobody tells him that he is pronouncing it wrong. There is a word in Spanish that is pronounced like that. Maybe he is from the UK and just didnt know what a Mesa was
