Why does Gordon Freeman look like a masculine hero in the Half-Life 2 art, but his Alyx model looks like a weak programmer?

Why does Gordon Freeman look like a masculine hero in the Half-Life 2 art, but his Alyx model looks like a weak programmer? Will the next Half-Life game make it even worse?

      This is the only Gordon I acknowledged

      True, he looks badass with a shotgun

      the only differences are his thin lips and blank facial expression

      I'm actually surprised how close he looks to his Half-Life 2 incarnation when they changed Alyx's appearance to such a degree.

      His lips are slightly different and he has a scowl in the first pic. Otherwise it's the same.

    the two aren't mutually exclusive, he's a weak programmer that was forced to become a masculine hero

    His model in HLA is seen for a few seconds from a distance in obscure lighting, I'm pretty sure they'll make him different in the next game

      This.
      Same with Alyx's model which you were only meant to see from a distance under specific lighting.

    One is promotional art for a game that didn't even have a player model for Freeman while the other is a fully rendered model in-game.

      It's literally a dolled-up cg model that was never released to the public until half life 2 survivor got datamined.

    >Next Half-Life game

    Anyway, I wish they would have made another expansion for the original Half-Life where you play as the Black Ops team. You have Opposing Force where you play as the Marines, and Blue Shift where you play as Barney, shit even in Decay you could play as Vortigaunts. Why not a stealthy one where you play as a Black Ops assassin? You could call it Dark Energy or something, keeping in theme with the science-based names that kind of match up to what the game actually is.

      Regardless of FoV? I get migraines from low FoV, frame drops and screen tearing. But as long as that's taken care of I have no problem

          Seems worth it if it would make it possible for you to play first-person games

    Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist who had hardly earned the distinction of his Ph.D at the time of the Black Mesa Incident
