Resonance Cascade Effects

Just an idea i thought of. During the beginning of the Resosnece Cascade in the Anti mass spectrometer chamber, before you get knocked out cold, when all the sprites are gathering at the crystal sample, you see a glimpse of the G-Mans face in front of you, but transparent like in the beginning of HL2. So thoughts, comments, flaming, go ahead.

Hi there, welcome to the forums. Your idea is an interesting one, but for future reference you might want to post minor suggestions in this thread.

Oh, heh, sorry bout that…

not a bad idea, I reccomend it to the devs. it would have to be a very quick glimpse of his face though, such as in the light when you teleport.

exactly

Sounds neat, but I don’t think it would seem right. If gman were to make an apperance I would rather see him standing somwhere in the chaos instead.

Yeah, like while all of it is happening, you can look into the window overseeing the chamber and see him standing there.

And have him be all like, :facepalm: cause’ of them not listening to his warning.

Gman should also say “Gordon, I am your father”.

It’s not a terrible idea, but they aren’t tampering with the events of Half-Life 1. That almost certainly includes adding additional appearences of Gman, even if it is hallucinatory.

I’m not sure about new appearences since we’ll see him plenty of times already

Resonance Casserole Effects :smiley:

Since this thread is called “Resonance Cascade Effects” and not “G-man appearance during Resonance Cascade,” I think this thread could be useful in discussing particulars of the actual incident. Visuals, sounds, etc. How about some neat sort of expanding orb effect right at the start where it looks like a shockwave spreading from the point of contact between the sample and the beam? Something like that. Discuss?

I like the idea of a very faint image of GMan’s face in the flashes, but I also like the idea of him standing, watching, from the observation chamber. Although the faq does say no suggesting alternate appearances of G-man… I think. :frowning:

A very faint image of GMan’s face in the flashes sounds good, but I’m not sure about the other one. I don’t know why, but that sounds a bit too Opposing Force-like, in my opinion.

Lmao!

I don’t think I like the idea of the Gman’s head appearing in anything of the sort. :meh:
Best to keep it to what it already is; because the devs have already made this part of the mod. Well I assume they have completed it to perfection. :slight_smile:

I would think it very cool if the Resonance Cascade in BM somehow blended the original effect, the supposedly upgraded effect at the start of HL2, and the “portal storms” from Ep 2.

ok it should go like this: if you look up to the observation window as you enter the chamber you see Gman standing there, he then performs the usual ritual of the tie straigtening and suit brushing before walking from the scene. whether you see him or not, he always leaves before the experiment begins. then later you see him again in the flash of the teleport but almost too quickly for you to see.

It’sn ot a direct recreation, then we’d just end up with HL: Source. With how much each map has already been modified (HUGE amounts) I guarantee we’re not going to bee seeing G-Man in all the exact same places, especially since many of those places no longer even exist.

although it sounds cool, i dont like the idea. going thru the game and being like wtf who is this guy and what the hell is he doing here all nice and calm yet never offering me help/conversation/cup of tea, until the end when your like oh… no wonder he was all stalker like. i think his face popping up would provide too much of a connection with him and the ‘accident’

That was what i was kind of pointing at.
