As much as I prefer Breen over the unfinished concept of "The consul", I still do not get why they could not give him a proper uniform. Breen is the literal leader of Earth, yet still runs around dressed like a middle school principal
Anyone not dressed in 1984 style blue collar uniforms is de facto very important, regardless of how the clothes would look to us in reality. The whole point of the final release was to realistically show what 20 years after the world ended would look like. Combine wouldn't waste a dime on proper uniforms and would probably just throw something they found at Kmart in their VIPs wardrobes.
What I mean is that they could have given him some sort of military-style uniform. Or maybe even a Red or Black Version of the citizen clothing, like the party leaders in 1984
I wish there were mods to have that sort of lighting on Dr Breen's little room outside the map that's used for the breencasts, or something that would communicate the anger and stress he's going thru during the end of the game
i came back after HL2 Siggraph demo, this video nailed the unerving dreadful 1984 atmostphere Siggraph demo had, this is Valve when were very ambitious about the dystopian vibe of City 17, sad they deemed it too dreadful so they scrapped the idea.
You can still hear cars speed by.
A dying society; a twisted mirror. One Consul.

I guess he wants to come off as refined and dignified compared to the trashy citizens and rebels, hence the fancy suit.

He's a puppet, not a leader

it was to "humanze" Breen while on Breencast
HL2 Beta is something truly special
this actually looks so unnerving, and mostly dark and gritty
good job
Dark and griddy

Terrific (in both meanings of the word) editing job! I love the shake blur.
Gordon, who are you? get out of the Citadel!
i LOVE this SO DAMN MUCH WELL DONE MAAANNN
The true citizen likes and appreciates this.
This is really cool! I'm interested in how you decided on Breen speaking another language, with the English being a "dub" of sorts.
You can hear two different voices in the original. Wouldn't it be kind of obvious?
It's natural from my part, here dubs from documentaries are common to overlap the original language to the national languages like that.
