Cutscene skipping (is it possible?)

[NSaG_x3nt1s]

I figured other people would like to know this too btw thanks in advance my only guess is through the console commands or maybe a special button combo I really have no clue but seeing that face in the intro (you know who) is a little too much to handle for me. Apparently I can't possibly noclip out of the cutscene can I? I bet the console command has more then I could ever ask for.

You can't skip it, just enjoy Gman's little speech :)

Thanks for your reply regardless.

Although I have to say what a pittyful shame so his face on the horizon is forced down the road. No for real though how could they not implement a feature where this is possible? Especially after if you've already done it? Seems kind of normal to have that in games nowadays but I guess everybody has the right to forget though how does such a crucial thing not get added by our beloved company, just a little bit of a shame.

Do still old steam games like this get updated? I know it's over a decade old but the update downloads in my opinion aren't it (like it's just there to try and convince us that there is an update when not in fact I don't know what else to think about that)

It ain't what you think it is in terms of the pace I am playing with the game and actually I am the exact opposite, if it was recorded it would be called more of a longplay especially since I spend hours playing just the demo itself.:-D And referring back from heart to heart if you mean with my love for the game it's actually growing since I had the chance to play this game as a child but I didn't so now as an adult I still love these old graphics games and love exploring older games I might have not had the chance to play much, still rocking my "PS2 half life CD 1" over here I don't know if you guys remember those special editions of the game.

"Doctor Freeemaaaaaaaaan. I realize this moment may not be the most convenient for a 'heart-to-heart', but I had to wait until your... 'friends' were otherwise occupied. Mmm.
There was a time they cared nothing for Miss Vance... When their only experience of humanity was a crowbar coming at them down a steel corridor... When I plucked her from Black Mesa, I acted in the face of objections that she was a mere child and of no practical use to anyone. I have learned to ignore such naysayers when... quelling them...hm... was out of the question. Still, I am not one to squander my investments... and I remain confident she was worth far more than the initial... appraisal. That's why I must now extract... from you... some small repayment... owed for your own survival. See her safely to White Forest, Doctor Freeman. I wish I could do more than keep an eye on you, but I have agreed to abide by certain... restrictions. Mmm. Well... now... listen carefully, my dear. When you see your father relay these words: Prepare for unforeseen consequences."


Still his best speech in the whole series imo

I'll watch it I've decided thanks for the comments guys no worries

This game almost doesn't have any cutscenes. Listening to that blue suit guy wouldn't be too much.

Like I said if I can't do anything about it I am pretty sure I mentioned I'd just wait and so I've done it I did my part and waited

Topic closed guys no need for more replies and thanks so much for all the help!

Past the trainstation intro, just noclip through whatevers blocking you and forcing you to listen to their BS

Everything is ingame, you can open the console at any point because nothing is pre-rendered.

You can also create binds to do the following:

bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; host_timescale 6" (fast forward/skip things)
bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; host_timescale 1" (go back to normal)
bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; noclip" (explains itself)

And for a bit of fun or if you want to try experimenting with getting through other cutscenes or scripted sequences faster:
bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; impulse 203" (deletes whatever is in your crosshair)
