Considering the unlikeliness of recruiting the original voice actors (Russell, for example, is voiced by New Zealand actor Rhys Darby of Flight of the Conchords and Our Flag Means Death) the Levitation team instead looked for replacements. Levitation features some new characters, like Alyx's fellow resistance members Maya and Barry, but it also has those aforementioned familiar faces. While we don't yet know what the Combine were doing in Sector X, we can see some massive excavation machinery before the end of the gameplay trailer, indicating that in order to ascend to the floating apartment block, Alyx first might need to go deep underground. Shame.Īs Alyx reaches the construction site she battles more Combine along with manhacks, the flying buzzsaw drones, and without any heavy weaponry on hand she has to use cover to avoid getting pummeled by the strider's cannon. 'I thought I'd play it straight when animating for the mod.' We won't see G-Man performing any dance routines, in other words.

'It's definitely a breath of fresh air to animate a character completely as they are rather than for a meme,' says Laddo. In Levitation, however, while Russell is on-hand for some comic relief, Laddo is sticking with the serious, canon version of G-Man.

G-Man is no stranger to Corey Laddo, who has been animating him into bizarre and hilarious memes for years, whether it's making him dance in the Once In A Lifetime music video (opens in new tab), having him host a cooking show (opens in new tab), marvelling over High Fidelity 4K bread (opens in new tab) in the Source 2 engine, or just messing with Freeman (opens in new tab).
