Is this a sequel to that old N64 game of the same name?

[PH4T3 <*.*>]

I might be wrong .. but I seem to recall a Nintendo 64 title eons ago that looks similar to this title, including it appears to have if not the same name, something very close.

This is not the same game like on N64. I have the N64 Version outplayed very often and on the PC Version, there are some dialoges and scenes, that are missing on the N64 version.

..he was asking if it was the same game. which it is.

[Rockefeller]

It is exactly the same game BUT there are major differences between the N64 and the PC/Dreamcast version, mainly the audio and video quality. N64 features hyper compressed textures and sound files; I suggest you play the PC version in order to experience Shadowman as the developers intended.

Shadow Man was released with the Nintendo 64, Playstation 1, PC, and the Sega Dreamcast, however the Dreamcast version was released later due to the Dreamcasts official system release date.

Did you bother to read the thread before posting this, as we've been over this MANY times?

It was a sequel, but all the characters looked different and overall the game was a huge disappointment.

it was also on dreamcast and pc.. but yea another recycled game. you know its time to start looking into other hobbies when the industry is so completely creatively bankrupt that they resort to re-releasing 20 year old games because all contemporary releases are easymode piles of ♥♥♥♥.

Not all of us had the luxury of playing these games when they were first released. And it isn't "creatively bankrupt" to see a company like Night Dive Studios try to re-release games whose intellectual property rights now resort to licensing hell (*cough*System Shock 2*cough*).

Shadow Man's current owners could either be Valiant Entertainment (company that spun-off from Acclaim and has had recent Shadow Man memorabilia) or Throwback Entertainment (a Canadian company who bought up all of Acclaim's IPs) or a mixture of both. To see Night Dive Studios go out of their way to make these games widely available is a godsend.

its not about the quality of the games they are re-releasing.. fact is most of them didnt even need a re-release since they ran on xp anyways (i guess im the target audience too since most of them are sitting on my shelf already..), it has been a ♥♥♥♥ year for gaming! i was filling out the entry form for the golden joysticks and i thought to myself "what was this years GOTY?".. there wasnt one. i mean if i have to pick president style (lesser of evils) sure i could come up with something, but there was nothing mindblowing.. nothing "new" (a whole lot of sequels=a whole lot of the same old ♥♥♥♥). what would be nice is if they were properly re-releasing them with HD textures and such.. but NAH they cant be assed (for the most part). knowing full well they are tearing out our nostalgic heart strings and that we can never go home. you load these games up now and they look like ♥♥♥♥! theres no really nice way to say it, as much as i love for example neverwinter nights and think it was an awesome game (same with shadowman really) it looks like absolute crap now.

we as gamers have evolved, apparently the industry hasnt come with us.

and only a complete idiot has trouble "finding" old pc games, sorry.

Sure it may look like absolute crap now, but how does that stop it from being awsome? Its still worth playing today. What 3d adventure games do we have nowadays that are actually challenging? lengthy? crafted with time and passion? Not many...Shadowman is a difficult and complex 3d adventure game that doesnt hold your hand at all and requires some serious observational skills and a prestine gaming sense that barely any games made today require. They dont make games with this type of challenge anymore. Glad to see these old games are still being sold and appreciated.

If you refuse to play this game because it came out in 1999, you're missing out on a great game. Graphics do not, will not and CAN ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NOT make a great game- great GAMEPLAY can make a great game. Not story, not graphics, not the platform it is on or the controls it uses, GAMEPLAY, the way it plays.

Shadow Man was not an exclusive console game it was released on pc Aug 27, 1999...
so this is nothing new folks,Shadow Man 2 would be a nice release"never played it"

yeah I'd like to find that one, it was on PS2. I remember him holding a sword on the cover of it and wondering what the gameplay would be like compared to the original. I hadn't picked it up since I was heavily into EQOA for a few years and didn't take too many breaks for other games. Except for RE4 , Area 51, and Gladius that I recall. Besides a little GTA on the side

This game had some of my favorite environments for a game of it's time. to this day still, to some degree this one and EQOA have some of my favorite environments in a game I've played. It was fun going through this game, and looking for those Loa things to. I think eventually I managed to get all of them. iirc there were about a couple hundred Loa souls or whatever they were.I think they had something to do with fighting the endgame boss too, but it's been so long I'm not sure about that now. it made hidden packages in vice city look like nothing lol.
