Acclaim's Shadow Man was an impressive 1999 tech showcase for N64, with decent PC and Dreamcast versions and a poor PlayStation port - but the game truly shines via its recent remaster thanks to Nightdive Studios. In this DF Retro EX, John Linneman takes us through the game's origins, what made it special and how the various ports compared. Then we go deep - *really* deep - into the creation of the remaster, where modern rendering technique merge with the original game aesthetic to create something exceptionally impressive. 00:00 - Introduction 01:22 - The Rise of Acclaim 02:31 - Shadow Man Begins Development 03:22 - What is this game about? 05:24 - The first four platforms 09:20 - Original Technical Comparisons 15:19 - Enter: Shadow Man Remastered 20:04 - Showcasing the Level Editor 31:34 - Remastered vs Originals 34:52 - Wrap-up Join the DF Patreon to support the team more directly and to get access to everything we do via pristine quality downloads: https://
