I used to hold a personal theory that Gordon is to Black Mesa as Chell is to Aperture: their brains being all discombobulated and Scienced-up by their respective employers, and made into superhumans against their will. This is only true for Chell. Gordon is an excellent foil to the both the Combine and Aperture; He is ABSOLUTELY, without a doubt, 100% human. YES, he would have attempted to meet Alyx's hand. And HELL YES, he would be denied such an intimate gesture by the sudden lurch of unfeeling machinery. Such is life. Gorgeous animation.
Dude the way you are animating Gordon is giving a lot of emotion to him in a way that still Valve would do in my eyes. Please do a project that we see the half life animations in episodes like series.
From what I'm told, both Alyx and Gordon's in-game models are unfinished due to the fact that apparently you don't really see them much. Basically, they just had to look good enough from a distance.
It’s funny, I replayed HL2 in VR a few months ago, and thinking back, that scene is just breathtaking. It gives me chills and a rush of adrenaline. You can really feel everything Gordon went through to get here, to the top of the Citadel. The fact that the music kicks in right after Alyx’s dialogue makes it all clear, no need for anything more. Honestly, keep it up, thank you.
My favorite part of Breen's rant when you get into the portal chamber is when he says you'll be destroyed in every way it's possible to be destroyed AND a few which are "effectively impossible"
Very nice animation mate, looks good and not too "over acted" if that makes sense. Well done. As an aside, I forgot how fantastic Dr Breen's voice is, his writing, the performance, everything
I always loved the idle animation of the supercharged gravity gun being in rhythmic sync in the little charged jerks it makes when descending in the elevator "Warning: 3 minutes to singularity"
The final product arrived This is honestly amazing each time i watch it but Unfortunately I couldn’t see full stream my internet slow as sanils although i was able to see and help in some part of the elevator going down and I enjoyed it thanks for creating these cinematic animations hope you’re doing well
I remember hearing this as a kid the first time i finished HL2, at like 10 years old. And this track just gave me this indomitable "let's get down to business" feeling, like, you knew this is the final stretch.
Breen: When the singularity collapses, I will be far away from here. In another universe, as a matter of fact. You, on the other hand, will be destroyed in every way it is possible to be destroyed-and even in some which are essentially impossible. Alyx: Great! :D
This one is really good. Great job! Btw where did this Gordon model came from? Its very well done, especially the face. Its not from hl:alyx i can tell and it looks very close to the hl2 promo art, which is the best depiction of him, imo.
It's a heavily modified version fo the hl2 survivor and hla gordon model made by Brusstrigger with some assistance from THG and I. You can find it on the Half-Life: Alyx workshop
That little hand gesture Gordon does to match with Alyx’s hand on the window is such a nice touch
Agree and Nice profile picture 😂
no. just no
I love the humanizing of Gordon Freeman
@@regularjoe027yes
This is how I always pictured Gordon responding to Alyx there in my head.
Breen: Doctor Freeman, you really should-
Freeman: *falls into the void because of unsuccessful jump*
That MIT education really paid for itself.
All hell breaks loose when Breen starts his Ascent
Most people _descend_ into Hell, Breen _ascended_ to it!
0:37 holy shit this pose goes hard asf
2day Gordon looks exeptionally handsome
reminds me of the hl 1 promo art of cicero with the shotgun
@@christhefirst hello cicero, looks like there is slow today.
hes mewing
it's a mirror of the Half Life 1 art of him (at least I think that's the intention)
gordon may be a ball of concentrated PTSD, but he also knows when it's time to be a big damn hero
The time is always. The one free man doesn't get to rest.
I really love the Metroid Prime style camera switch at the end
YES! It's so goooooood!!!
Goldeneye moment
Real I did not notice
Time for Gordon to Lock in
Props man this is amazing Gordon raising his hand as the elevator starts moving it’s just genuinely awesome

This new HL2 based model for Gordon is just excellent, much better than HL:A model for him.
From what I'm told, both Alyx and Gordon's in-game models are unfinished due to the fact that apparently you don't really see them much.
Basically, they just had to look good enough from a distance.
@@GetsugaTensho85yeah, they look damn good in the cutscenes but anywhere else is kinda yikes
nice touch of the weight shift jolt when the elevator started, wonderfully animated!
love how Gordan's body jolts as the elevator starts to move and again when it stops. totally didn't have to do that but it added so much. Good work!
Even being slowed down Dark Energy, this track gives great sense of *THE FINAL* fight

"Warning: 3 minutes to singularity"
Absolute Cinema.
"Do your worst, Gordon... but, be careful..."
EXACTLY how I felt playing this moment for the first time as a kid. You captured it perfectly.
just like a previous sfm animation of yours, the transition back to first person perspective is an awesome touch
I remember playing this for the first time, it was amazing! The animation is also top tier 👌
every new video you post increases my need for a full length animated halflife movie
I need to be constantly reminded how much i love half life
I've been hopelessly addicted for over a year now
I absolutely adore this.
Great job, Komegatze.
Half life 2 music hits hard af 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The way it starts with the elevator going down is so badass.
The return of Komegatze goes so hard
This is amazing!
amazing work as always my man
Holy shit this was phenomenal. all the hair on my body stood straight up as the elevator stopped. Master of the half life vibe, I salute you.
we need a mod with cinematics like this one for the game
That animation with camera going in through the back of the head to give control to the player in first person reminds me of Perfect Dark for the N64
With the music i was getting the feeling to lock in rather then sadness
with these sorts of camera movements, moving from an external third person to first, would have worked so well in moments like these
I like to think this is the actual combine theme song
Something special about seeing a CoreyLaddo and Komegatze upload at the same time on the homepage
Holding the upgraded gravity gun always feels badass on top of that.
Love this moment, it indeed feels like this
The final product arrived
This is honestly amazing each time i watch it but Unfortunately I couldn’t see full stream my internet slow as sanils although i was able to see and help in some part of the elevator going down and I enjoyed it thanks for creating these cinematic animations hope you’re doing well

Ha! I remember you reacting to my brief version of this in the SFM Discord.
"But be careful"
Literally the moment where even the coldest Half Life player went "Awwww she does care for him"
Gordon gives no mercy
Not gonna lie, first time I played this level, I was HYPED!!!!
you would be the person to hire for an animated half-life movie. holy crap this filmmaking is top notch
Exactly how I felt when playing this as a teen. Really sold the weight of the situation with Kelly's music.
Beyond jealous his glasses are effectively invincible
Seeing a different model of gordon freeman after always seeing sfm with source 2's version of him feels so weird, great animation btw
Great animation, it really does capture the feeling that I imagine Valve intended.
he prepares for the worst, but stooping breen turns out to be a walk in the park
personally cp violation gets me fired up
When I found out Pulse Phrase is just Dark Energy slowed down it blew my mind
This is too good.
The locking in soundtrack (tbh pretty much all HL score is "locking in soundtrack")
hits different
"Alright. Let's do this"
Allright.... time for a replay
Gordon with the manliest jaw in existance and the morphine eyes
Bro Freeman got roasted at the end
PEAK ONCE AGAIN
Time to lock in and kick some ass!
livestream watchers are sadge that theres no kissing. clear time vampire intervention
whenever i hear this track i always think of elevators
HEV suit without damage, magic
This really reminds me of Doom 3's cutscenes fr
Breening rn
Gordon if he locked TF in
Getting ready to kick breens ass music.
It’s done let’s goooooooooo
Reminder: Dark Energy and Puyse Phase are the same music only Pulse Phase is slowed down
WE LOVE KOMEGATZE WE ALL SAY IN UNISON!! 🗣
How it feels to see Komegatze upload again.
that gravgun looks sexy af.
Breen: When the singularity collapses, I will be far away from here. In another universe, as a matter of fact. You, on the other hand, will be destroyed in every way it is possible to be destroyed-and even in some which are essentially impossible.
Alyx: Great! :D
I really need to learn how to animate because this is the type of stuff I want to do
I remember this track was also used in the E3 presentation of the game in 2003
Amazing
I hope HL3 explores more of Gordon's psychological aspects like his trauma from BM and what not
I would say Pulse Phase is *perfect* for this scene in the game. It really makes me think of the words, "This is it. Let's finish this...for now."
sooo cooool
NO! ...You neeed me...
the aura you make gordon have
This one is really good. Great job!
Btw where did this Gordon model came from? Its very well done, especially the face. Its not from hl:alyx i can tell and it looks very close to the hl2 promo art, which is the best depiction of him, imo.
It's a heavily modified version fo the hl2 survivor and hla gordon model made by Brusstrigger with some assistance from THG and I. You can find it on the Half-Life: Alyx workshop
Very nice
Dr. Brian
Slowed dark energy
HL3 HYPE
Like that you use undamaged HEV model in this
Nice Bro
I can't wait for RTX
Almost ws epic as john wick music
bro wanted to hold hands so badlyyyy
Awesome
You have captured the moment Extremally well. I say GREAT JOB

How it feels to be forklift certified.
