What if GLaDOS were male?

[Lucky]

After listening to the J.C Still Alive mix on the Portal 2 soundtrack, I began wondering what Portal would have been like if GLaDOS had a normal, male voice. Imagine what the game would have been like if the player had believed that this 'GLaDOS' character talking to them throughout the game was an actual human being. What if a romantic interest would have developed between the player, a female, and a mysterious, charismatic male voice? Imagine the heartbreak when he tried to kill you or you found out that he was a robot the whole time , and then you had to kill him!

Interesting idea! I don't know if you knew this, but Cave Johnson's assistant was originaly a male called Greg. They reused the concept for the PTI chambers, but if Greg was in the main game, story wise, it would have been Greg that was put into GLaDOS. But who knows? Maybe they already did that and Greg became the Announcer...oh my God...Greg is the Announcer!

Not Valve's style.

why does a romance between the player and the robot have to be dependent on their gender

[BurningCakeDoesAche]

I... interesting concept. Why would GLaDOS' gender have to change, though?

So basically HAL 9000?

Sad cringe right here.

Why is this thread still being replied to, it's eight years old.
If I remember correctly the reason I was speculating about this was because there's a specific song on the Portal OST that's a cover of Still Alive with a regular guy's voice

Interesting idea, but I think it wouldn't fit the tone of the game. If it were the same gender, yes.
