Video: Here's Your First Look At The Shadow Man Remaster From Nightdive Studios

As a Valiant fan and a fan of the Turok remaster I’ll likely get this when it drops.

I hated this game back in the day, so this is a no for me.

I remember playing this, but I have the feeling that it became really confusing at some point and I don't think I actually reached the end... Or maybe I did... Anyway, I was very young and the whole story was probably a bit confusing for a teenager. Maybe I'll give it a try depending on reviews. From a technical point, this is a game that could have been remade, those 3D games looked better with washed out graphics than in 4K (that absolutely has no sense). So the Switch might be the way to go

Looking forward to it. I’ve still got my original copy

I still have my N64 cartridge. One of the best adventure games I’ve ever played. It had the collectathon element as well with 150 dark souls to find. It was also on PC and Dreamcast. I take it it’s the improved graphics from those versions that will be built upon.

Its one of my most favourite games ever.This version looks like Dreamcast version and nothing more.I was excited at first but now not so much.I own PSX,N64 and DC copy of the game.If there is no massive improvement or some changes in this one I think twice before buying it.

Never played the original (I remember it, though), but now I see it, it seems to me a never-ending Zelda OoT dungeon XD
Not for me, but I'm glad for those who played and loved the original.

I loved the intro FMV and Jaunty a stereotype Irish snake/skull thing. “Good day there Micheal, hows death treating you”? And “A drop of the hard stuff over a roaring peat fire”

The game itself seemed really confusing with maze like caves all looking the same.

@Mynemo Ditto. It does say it's alpha footage, so I'd remain hopeful. The thing I was most worried about, is that they'd mess with the open-ended design of the game. That's one of the main reasons why I like the game, as it doesn't hold your hand all the time.

I had this back in the day and remember liking it despite never getting far in to it. Saying that would be with my rose tinted glasses on tho as after that footage i wont be buying again.

@Shadow_Dancer The game can get a bit confusing at times, as it doesn't always hold your hand. Although, if you happen to get lost, you can always talk to Nettie and she tells what you're supposed to do, but doesn't really tell how.

I personally always thought the different locations in the game had a lot of variety.

I remember playing this to death back on the N64 and actually getting to the end. I found the levels way less confusing than the one in Turok 2 which I never managed to beat. N64 magazine called it Zelda's Evil Twin

I played it a lot and I remember never finding one of those souls so I was stuck as I couldn't open one of those @nus gates (😂).
However I found a place where you could jump from a hanging cable to another locked section of the stage where I was able to collect more souls and progress until the end.

@coleman83 loved that magazine, those were the days....

As much as I loved this game back then and I still have my N64 copy which I played last year I will hold off on considering getting it until there is a price as I felt the two Turok games on Switch were overpriced and even more so when Doom 64 was released at a fraction of that. I know the games and assets are being ported to a new engine and textures are being upscale and everything but for me it doesn't add enough to warrant a higher price point. That is just me though.

@Ricube yeah i got confused and bored really quick with this, a shame as it looked awesome back in the day.

I hated that game on the 64...

Never played this on N64. May give the remaster a try.

Put many hours into the game back in the day, I remember playing it for nearly a month after school in the evening, good times...

The original was good but lacking in graphics, so I definitely want this!

It actually look like it aged really well, in terms of the level design.

HUGE fan of this game! Can Not Wait to play this!

I remember getting a Dreamcast and deciding between this and Soul Reaver. Went with Soul Reaver, which I do not regret. Always figured I'd play Shadowman eventually, but never got around to it. If this port turns out well, maybe now is the time.

I thought the trailer was starting with the original game, and after a while, they would swipe to reveal the new version. But no...this is it.

even though i have a switch and xbox one x, i will still get the switch version, so i can play anywhere

I liked the game back when it came out. Although with the Legacy of Kain and Darksiders series coming after it, I'm not sure how well the remaster will hold up. Still, I'm willing to give it a go.

Man I'd love to see these guys redo the Soul Reaver games with HD ports.

Definitely looks underwhelming. I am not sure what they are thinking. It looks like a $9.99 remaster.

Wow pro controller support! 🤘🏼🤦‍♂️

@coleman83 I never saw it in motion, but the magazine had a whole walkthrough I read through... Curious if I could still use that walkthrough! xD

In my opinion, the less "remastered" the better. Just like crisp unfiltered pixels are best for retro 2D games, as an acolyte of the late 90s I want to be able to visually count each of the sweet polygons.

@UmbrageHill

Jeah!!! I loved the game back in N64!

@echoplex LOL
Sorry I've ruined that for you 😂
When I played it the first time someone told me exactly that and I could never forget it 😜

I remember playing this at a friend's house, back in the day, and finding it rather unremarkable and drab looking. I don't think a remaster will change that.
But hey, cool for those who enjoy the game!

Ohh boy this game looks like it has the right amount of jank to be fun!

@Dethmunk Yeah, I thought the same thing with Dark Souls Remastered. It’s a weird sales tactic to repackage basically the same thing. I guess this game is getting 4K support but for the Switches lackluster hardware it’s just a port.

Like most of the comments, it looks fairly underwhelming as remaster, and it looks like it still has the same horrible controls.

I remember the UK N64 magazine running quite a big article about it at the time, saying how impressively big it was and it was (at the time). It was quite enjoyable when you got into it, I must have sunk about 60hrs into then my cheap 3rd party memory card corrupted! Too much like hard work to start from the beginning.

May still pick it up but it'll have to impress a bit more than this.

used to have this on the dreamcast and ps1, never really completed it either and i don't think i ever really got into the game much back in the day but it's cool that they are remastering it i guess.

Great game.

One of my favourite on the N64. Can be a bit confusing though, one section of the game requires a certain tattoo to get past and it's an easy to miss one. Very annoying to find in the days of no guides.
