Shadow Man: Remastered Out Of A 4:3 Shadow
One of my favourite games on the Sega Dreamcast was Shadow Man – a comic book voodoo hero dealing with Jack the Ripper. Well, it gets a new lick of paint as it’s out now as Shadow Man: Remastered.
A very good-looking friend (definitely not me but the spitting image and even has the same name and birthdate), once downloaded an emulator that featured a copy of Shadow Man – deterred by the £30 ‘retro’ price online (it cost £20 when I – he bought it in the late 90s).
Despite the emulator folk doing a good job and all, it looked… shit. Shadow Man has aged, but the feeling is still there. Fortunately, Nightdive Studios has gone ahead and given it some 4K widescreen support, anti-aliasing and ‘other stunning improvements’.
Shadow Man Remastered will most likely appeal to people like my friend-who-isn’t-me, me, and perhaps comic book fans. Here are the features if you’re interested:
- 4K 60FPS visuals on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X
- Trophies and Achievements on PlayStation and Xbox consoles
- Gyro-aiming on Nintendo Switch
- Anti-aliasing and other post-processing magic
- A whole new visual experience with dynamic shadow mapping and per-pixel lighting
- Never-before-seen content previously cut from the original game
Here’s the shadow one:
Shadow Man: Remastered is out now on PS4/5 and Xbox One, and Series X/S. A Nintendo Switch version is in the works…
