(English below) Gampelay de la primer hora de Shadow Man Rematered, efectivamente remaster de Shadow Man, juego de acción y aventuras en 3ª persona con desarrollo de estilo metroidvania 3D lanzado en 1999, desarrollado por Acclaim Studios y con este remaster a cargo de Nightdive Studios que se lanzó en 2021.

Todos sabemos que Nightdive Studios está especializada en remasterizar y traer de vuelta clásicos, y yo creo que normalmente hacen un buen trabajo. Sin embargo, creo que también en algunos casos podrían hacer más. Por ejemplo, haberle puesto mejoraa de texturas a juegos como los Turok 1 y 2 y Forsaken remasterizados, que en cuanto a texturas se han quedado muy anticuados. Pues en este sí las han mejorado, y mucho más.

Han dotado al juego de numerosas mejoras gráficas: texturas, sombras, oclusión ambiental, mejoras en los decorados (55:25 por ejemplo), etc. El juego se ve fantástico a 4K. Además de eso, han restaurado cosas que fueron eliminadas del juego original. Por ejemplo, diría que los gusanos que te atacan en la 2ª zona de los muertos no estaban, el jefe en 43:11 tampoco estaba en el juego original si no recuerdo mal, han añadido zonas nuevas, etc. Además, el control está muy mejorado, pues en el original era bastante tosco. También el sonido del arma principal está suavizado, pues llegaba a ser un poco molesto en el original. En fin, un montón de cambios a mejor.

Para mi es un juego muy especial, pues lo jugué en su día en Nintendo 64 y me encantó, llegando a conseguir el 100% del juego, lo cual me llevó muchas horas por sus intrincados y enormes escenarios. Shadow Man es un metroidvania (antes de que se pusieran de moda) fascinante por su ambientación, extensión, diseño de niveles, historia... Creo que es de lo más ambicioso que llegó a hacer Acclaim Studios. Una auténtica joya, oculta diría, porque no es tan conocido. Un juego totalmente recomendado y más aun con este remaster.

Gampelay from the first hour of Shadow Man Rematered, effectively a remaster of Shadow Man, a 3rd person action adventure game with 3D metroidvania style gameplay released in 1999, developed by Acclaim Studios and with this remaster by Nightdive Studios released in 2021.

We all know that Nightdive Studios specializes in remastering and bringing back classics, and I think they usually do a good job. However, I think that also in some cases they could do more. For example, they could have improved textures in games like the remastered Turok 1 and 2 and Forsaken, which in terms of textures are very outdated. Well, in this one they have improved them, and much more.

They have provided the game with numerous graphical improvements: textures, shadows, ambient occlusion, improvements in decoration (55:25 for example), etc. The game looks fantastic at 4K. On top of that, they have restored things that were removed from the original game. For example, I'd say the worms that attack you in the 2nd dead zone were missing, the boss in 43:11 wasn't in the original game either if I'm not mistaken, they've added new zones, etc. Also, the control is much improved, as it was quite clunky in the original. Also the sound of the main weapon is softened, as it was a bit annoying in the original. In short, a lot of changes for the better.

For me it is a very special game, because I played it in its day on Nintendo 64 and I loved it, reaching 100% of the game, which took me many hours for its intricate and huge scenarios. Shadow Man is a metroidvania (before they became popular) fascinating for its atmosphere, extension, level design, story... I think it's one of the most ambitious things Acclaim Studios ever made. A real gem, hidden I would say, because it is not so well known. A totally recommended game and even more with this remaster.
