A Few Good G-Men News
PC News by Ellie Gibson
Ever thought what a good idea it would be to remake a scene from classic military flick A Few Good Men as if it was actually a scene in Half-Life 2?
No, we haven't either. But a Mr R. Glass of Seattle not only considered this possibility, but went so far as to spend two months of his life making it a reality - and now you can watch the results.
A Few Good G-Men takes the voices of Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise, gives them to new characters and resets the scene in a HL2-style courtroom, essentially. It's all rather nicely done, if a little pointless.
But we're excited by the prospect of future game-movie hybrids, however... How about Sam Fisher as Mahoney in Police Academy? Or Master Chief in Kindergarten Cop? Or Chun Li and Nina Williams in something where girls kiss in it? The possibilities are endless...
Are you excited about Half-Life 2 on Xbox?

Wow. I had to double check that it wasn't Tom writing this. Ellie's fitted right in hasn't she? Video is awesomely pointless by the way. |

Agreed, it's a little pointless... But you have to respect the work that has been put in. Shows what can be done with good vocal work!!

I call discrimination! Ellie is obviously being asked to write for a male demographic, which is hardly the kind of professional journalism we should expect from Eurogamer given that the games industry should be more appealing to females as well as males in this difficult time. I demand reformatting to include "Sephiroth and Cloud in something where boys do more with swords than just fight".

I didn't realize that took two months to make when I first saw it. Hmm. Thought it might've taken a day if I'm honest.

Um. Have you actually seen it? How on earth would it be possible to do that in one day?
I've seen it three times now. I know nothing about how it was made but it seemed to me to be done in a very similar way to how the Red Vs Blue vids were done. I thought the engine would've done all the lip syncing itself. Making the courtroom might've taken a while I'll concede, I just don't know where the majority of the two months were spent, that's all. |

while i'm guessing he didn't put 24/7 into it for the whole 2 months ... i could understand it taking a while.
guess it all depends on fluet he is at making maps (or rooms in this case) and how quickly he picked up the 3dsmax animation (guessing this was the time consuming bit). the engine does all the lip-synching for him tho which will have been a massive timesaver. |
