Freeman's Mind 2

[Pinkie Pie]

I know this has been asked a lot, but I wanted to know what fans have to say about the possibility of an FM sequel series. (or Season 2 in light of Machinima)

[Heera]

I keep dreaming of that <<3

[Trickiert]

I'm pretty sure Ross said he might do BMS whenever it gets done.

[DaftMink]

The fans say yes!.

I think he said it was possible. Some guy on Youtube said he'd do it...but I don't think that'd work. BMS is supposed to have more areas, so more dialogue makes sense.

Seeing that makes me want to have a Freeman soundboard.

It would be amazing.

 

That said, yeah, it would be awesome to see Freeman's Mind for Half Life 2.

I wonder what will happen first. Ross getting to the end of Episode 2, or Episode 3 getting released?

It's kinda a tough call...

[Calendar]

That would be greet, more dialogues, more quotes, more t-shirt ideas, more awesomeness... *dreaming*

He has said in past interviews that as long as his fans stay interested he'd probably do it. I'm curious as to how he'd handle Freeman's personality as the character goes from being an unlucky observer to a full on revolutionary. I wonder if Freeman would get just a little more serious about his job of liberating the future.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I doubt it would come any time soon. He still has to finish the first Half-Life.

[MakoVlazkov]

I can only imagine that he would if the fans wished it so, as he has said before; I too wonder how Freeman will respond to the new and rather alien world he would find himself in, it is my opinion that Half Life 2 is a bit silly when compared to Half Life 1, which has a more serious tone, the Combine are quite silly and weak when compared to the Xen creatures and HECU Marines, it may be because the weapons in Half Life 2 are rather cartoon-like, unlike the robust military equipment, humorous yet frightening biological weapons, and advanced scientific devices of Half Life 1.

Although I must seem like a critic, I would not be adverse to a Freeman's Mind 2, quite the opposite, but I do not think I will like it more than Freeman's Mind, but only time, and Ross Scott's talent, will tell.

I agree. As much as I love HL2, the silliness did grate on me a bit. That and how they turned npc models from the first game into actual characters in the second. "Hey Gordon, it's me, Dr. Kleiner! You remember me, I was all of those 50+ balding and bespectacled scientists you encountered on your last adventure!"

It's a good thing in BMS they're going to make every scientist look different, and have Dr. Kleiner look like Dr. Kleiner, and everyone else. Though, it is pretty funny seeing these few characters who represented EVERY ONE ELSE in Half Life. Barney was all the guards, Kleiner was all the balding guys, Eli was all the black scientists...I sure wish there was an Einstein hair character. XD

I don't see how Half Life 2 is sillier though. I mean, yeah it's a far stretch from the first game, but I wouldn't call it silly. Just more sci-fi-ish.

[Zomborgon]

It would be awesome for a new one in HL2- I can see a LOT of awesome lines in the whole first section (before combat), vehicle sections and during the urban war.

I think Freeman would be like Mike from Civil Protection, he'd probably want to join Civil Protection to save himself, but he can't because CP tries to kill him for his actions in HL, so he HAS to join with the rebels.

I dunno, I find the scenes with Lamar or Dog to be pretty silly.

[jumpyed]

*points to the FAQ*

 

As for silliness, I see it more as people trying to cope then directly trying to be silly.

That's where Ross (Freeman) can make these parts very funny.

 

But if he will start FM2 then Freeman should change a little because it takes some years after the incident.

But from Freeman's perspetive it's the blink of an eye.

[Pinkie Pie]

True, but he should change a bit after the supernatural experience in the Zen :S

No he shouldn't. He shouldn't change at all. Not even mature. That's not the Freeman we know! I know what you're getting at, but if he were to change, it wouldn't be Freeman's Mind! Like I said before, Freeman would probably have joined CP if they weren't trying to kill him. In Half Life 2, joining the rebels is like just trying to survive for him, which is gonna cause him to complain and scream more about how he didn't do anything wrong. One thing I'm wondering is how he's going to treat Alyx. Be kinda've funny if she likes him, but he just acts like a douche to her. Then again, Alyx isn't bad looking, and Freeman obviously likes women...hmm...

[S.Eagle]

Why are we blathering about FM2 while the main priority should be getting FM1 done first?
