Oh please don't do this. Giving Gordon a voice defeats one of the most intuitive gameplay elements that makes HL and HL2 so unique: Allowing the player to connect/fill the roll of Gordon Freeman. As soon as you give him a voice, you separate the player from the character, and the overall experience becomes less immersive.
Even if they did do this, (which they're not) all you would have to do is find Freeman's voice audio files and delete them. There, you have a mute Freeman again.
Bahahaha. I thought they were actually being serious and I was thinking "Oh dear... this is going to turn out shit..." until the annotation came up xD
There should be an option as to whether or not enabling the voice of Dr. Freeman. I would much more enjoy the first person silence. Maybe, if there are cutscenes in this one, you could add a voice, but only in cutscenes, otherwise, it just ruins the game. I mean, he sounds like the stereotyped nerd from most cartoons. -_-
I don't wish to hear a annoying voice when I play a game like this...
It worked for duke nukem because it was made to be funny half life was made to be intense and If you are going to give him a voice at least let some of us have the option to turn it off.
Actually, I would like to see, this kind of version of Half-Life, that would be hilarious hours of play :D. Well, machinima Freeman's Mind comes to hours of fun. I just hope, he'll go through all game.
And the Podcast idea is superb, sadly, it won't happen :)
Just have a look at what date this was posted. I gotta admit I took it for real at first as well and wondered where the announced "three times a week podcast" was...
Sweet. Finally some news of BMS again :P. I don't know if this ideay is going to work. Because the big power of dr freeman was that he didn't say a word. But I really hope it is going to work :)
Just to make things clear, the podcast including it's content was an april fools joke. There will be no talking from Gordon's side, neither will there be anymore podcasts.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why the fuck are they giving Gordon a voice like what are they thinking. To me thats like half the appear of half life is that he doesnt talk alot. And the voice they give him is like "Wow" what a fuckin nerd. Everytime i envision gordon talkin hes just some regular guy not some damn high pitched version of kleiner. Im fuckin angry.
I get the voice track was an April Fools joke but is the Podcast and April Fools joke? at the end he says " See you in two days" I hope the podcast idea wasn't a joke since truthfully that would be the best idea ever to get out their new info and as just a way to keep our hype wanting sated.
three times a frickin week?!!? o_o
