        Realism is only good when it can be used as an excuse to make things uglier.

      Gordon never seemed like the sort of badass type to me, but the left kinda looks cooler

        It's kind of a result of multiple things. A lot of it is just the higher resolution making details more apparent.

        But some of the loss of 'attitude' is just a slight amount of sneer in the lips, and the eyes of the right absolutely were botched.

        Frozen in stasis. Potentially he basically blinked looking at G-Man in the tram in Zen and opened his eyes to the train entering City 17.

    There is hl2 survivor model of gordon that is closer to the internal model valve used for promotional images. Also, it could be that this image uses different lens setting?

      Hey homosexuals. Here's what Gordon's model looked like around 2004. Now make comparisons.

        "buuh buh buh buuh" It wasn't used in Half-Life 2, rather the Arcade release, but the model was made by the same artists around the same time. Uses a combination of about 8 Valve employee's faces for the design. You want poopy diarrhea? Open wide, your disingenuous arguing over digital artwork compared to an actual model comes to an end under my brown sea

        That's not Gordon's model because Gordon didn't have an official ingame model created by Valve. That's fan made.

    The model on the right is firstly not to the quality of other characters in Alyx as it is only seen for a split second in the game and shrouded in darkness; secondly the screenshot of the model has clearly been ported to Source 1 which causes the facial textures/lighting to look like shit (grimy pores etc.); thirdly even given these detractions the model looks fine assuming that you’re ok with a Gordon looks like a scientist rather than some messianic badass.

        I mean it looks fine if you load it in source 2 as I said and don’t backport it to s1, as I said. Same happens with the g-man models which tends to look crusty as frick in most s1 sfm animations

    the picture on the left is a 2D illustration, a piece of crafted art.
    the picture on the right is a 3D model that you may actually find in game
    this is what the HL2 gordon model actually looked like.
