Love Shadow Man! Such a unique visual style with the crazy Voodoo themes. Some genuinely creepy moments.

The voice acting is crazy good. I wasn't expecting it to be so good.

This is the game that scared the shit out of me the most when i was a kid, the atmosphere was not just dark but very eerie and unsettling specially on some of the serial killers levels, and the Asylum was one of the creepiest places just listen to the Playrooms soundtrack, it's probably the most disturbing game song i've heard.

Shadow Man, Shadow Man, does whatever a shadow can

When you realise Zack from the Dead or Alive games had Shadowman as a unlockable costume.

3:35 "And where might I build this cathedral of yours?" "Michigan." Well, it will be close to Hell at least, yeah?

god this looks so much better then the PS1 version, I can actually tell what things are.

Matt I love you, please understand that I love you and your videos, but "search-action" is NEVER going to get over. Ever. I'm sorry.

“Idk if Jesus can take Legion” *me laughing bc I know what he did to legion*😂

Remember how hard magazines pushed this game.

As a kid I remember seeing this game at Blockbuster with a big ol' "For mature audiences only" warning and Naturally we HAD to rent it! I think it mostly confused me and my brothers more than anything just trying to figure out what the hell we were supposed to be doing. It wasn't until years later when I got the GOG version when I realized it's basically Banjo Kazooie, just dark sould instead of jiggies. Surprisingly enough, the GOG version is still very playable, full wide screen resolution, runs smooth as butter, and you can set the controls very comfortably to work with an Xbox controller. I think it's $5 so... yeah. My main gripe with it however is the combat. it's boring and repetitive. You're basically just circle strafing and shooting until the thing is dead. Also the Gun sound is terrible! The best part is just the exploration and story. for a late 90's game it's pretty interesting. Literally real serial killers and psychopaths join together to destroy the world under the guide of Legion, you know, from the Bible (with obvious liberties taken)! Not the best story but... interesting. I find the most fun part is just exploring the levels and searching every area for collectibles and secrets.

Soul Reaver AND Shadowman?! You are spoiling my moody teenage nostalgia.

Me: [googles "search action"] Also me: "is this search action?"

Loved this game. Lovely art design, reminded me of the Medievil games on ps1

"Hey you know those preview pics behind the box with headless guys shooting you?" -Yeah? "Yeah well, that's actually in the real world, not in deadside." -Sweet.

I wanted to like this game so much as a kid but holy crap I could just never figure out what to do in Deadside. I'm almost positive that in this short video you got further than I ever got despite multiple attempts

I remember playing this game with my cousin on N64. I think he owned it, and maybe I borrowed it. I enjoyed it from what I remember, but I was 10 in '99 so most of it probably went over my head. Never played the sequel thankfully but I would like to see at least a couple more of these vids.

Matt you just took me to my N64 days and sparked a memory..... Hybrid Heaven Matt, I know you want to dig that gem up.

Really like the setting for this game, I can only describe it as "Bayou Noire", but sadly I find controls and some level dsign a bit questionable. I still really like it's unique world though

Wowzers in my trousers. This was posted 4 days ago. That's uber. And to know that a remaster is on the way just wow... This is incredible. Also not sure if many other Shadowman players know this but there are ways to get Govis and accessing areas of the game where you cheat many levels of shadow power. Basically bypassing areas of the maps to get govis and leveling up the shadow power much much faster even getting ahold of some weapons early in the game. :)

One of my favourite Dreamcast games.

Wow I'm genuinely surprised shadowman was popular enough to get a game. Cool

Matt, you absolute madlad! You might as well do Akuji the Heartless at this point.

You know with all these playthroughs of Dreamcast ports being played recently on the channel, I think it's time to revisit Omikron: The Nomad Soul for Dreamcast hahahahaha

So excited for the Nightdive Rerelease. One of my all time loved Games. Countless nights were i was so afraid playing this as a kid.

“What am I, a Dark Souls travel guide now?”

Good God! I've been waiting for a video like this for many thousands of years. I LOVE SHADOW MAN!

Played this game on PC back in the day.. nice seeing it again.. memories.. and.. makes me think of Heretic 1 & 2.. Played those around the same time if I remember correctly

after hearing about this referenced in several let's plays, it's very welcome. thanks matt you shadow turok child baby man

One of my all time favorite games. Very underrated

I remember this game when i was kid on first PC i forgot about it for many years

My favourite game of all time. I'm so glad they're remastering it and adding the cut content.

This game was so awesome for the time, still enjoy plauing it!

Bro I played this game when I was 4 back in 2003. One of my favorite games of all time.

Used to love the valiant comics growing up

You can charge your gun when you have dark souls. Just hold the fire button down and it increases the power of your blasts

Yes finally someone played this!!

We a Legion and we many...💓 Love that Red Dwarf reference.

Not only could Jesus take Legion. Legion is from a story in which Jesus divided all of it's mind into a swarm of pigs.

I still own a Dreamcast Sports Edition & this is the game I always play nonstop! The remastered is also pretty good! Overall 1 of the best Dreamcast games!💯

Voodoo Vince is the superior voodoo themed game

Still have this one in the collection deserves a remake for sure

I think that's strange, lol. I downloaded a set of DreamCast games for later to play (I never owned a DreamCast before) and I started Shadow Man on the exact same day that this was uploaded lol

I loved the original comic. I found this different take on the story to be interesting. Please play more.

Action-Exploration seems more fitting but you do you boo.

i spent all the video yelling: charge the F shadowgun! PD: waiting the ramaster with passion...

*Take a shot for every "Dark Soul"*

Jaunty is my favorite weird-looking Irish creature since Umbro Knacker from Fatal Deviation

I synced this video up with my N64 copy of shadowman from the intro cutscene and I think I summoned something

ive never played this but I want to now

i remember completing this game in a 9 hour marathon without saving on my dreamcast :D

Queen o' the Harpies

Back in the N64 days, I was only able to get to the level past the second soul gate and that was pretty much it; I had no controller pak so I was screwed. Then, when I bought it on Steam a few years ago, I took my time to to finish (and complete) it, finally.

Rented this for 64 one dreary weekend .Got to the crazy lava temple with the gems or whatever. And could not figure it out. It was cool, i think

HELL yea! I love this game :D

Nightdive should remaster Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver

29:40 Gotta love a cheeky OSW reference

Decent draw distance for 1999. Was Dreamcast known for being its gen’s ‘powerhouse’?

regardless of its age, it's still a fun game. once you get used to the controls...

12:58 - What did you call me? :D

The shadow gun does get better as you increase your shadow level by collecting dark souls. Charging the shadow meter by holding in fire like a mega buster will fire charged shots which does significantly increase dps. In the remaster, there's actually an endgame upgrade which has you fire max charged shots instantly.

Good times

This game looks sooo creepy...I love it

Lord Kickington's a busy man.

This game was dope!

I think I'm one of the few that loved this game as a kid. The sequel sucked though.

The case was mad scary when I was a kid

OMG the BACKTRACKING with this game. Played it as a kid and I couldn’t beat it, played it as a teenager and never finished it, played it as an adult and beat it but it was annoying AF.

I love Shadow Man my favorite game of all time I know it did not age well but that does not bother me because too many games nowadays are either too easy or hold your hand to much, but shadow man does not hold your hand which is why shadow man is my favorite game of all time in my opinion.

This was one of the few N64 games that looked way better with the expansion pack. The Dreamcast version is even better, the PS1 version is awful. The serial killer levels were the best part of this game, great blending of music & atmosphere. I always thought of it as a mature Tomb Raider clone with all the platforming

Still waiting for Nightdive Remaster, but until then I'm still playing on N64 and PC (Dreamcast I gave to a friend).

Yeah i remember this game, it looked awesome for its time, but i played it with a shitty localisation on my PC so i couldnt get far since i didnt understand what i had to do on a certain mission... Also if i remember correctly that woman was supposed to be totaly nude in that cutscene or the next. That blew my mind as a kid, although her geometry is crazy blocky she had a a nude texture map on top of it, hats off to devs for adding such a thing to a game during that time...

There's a pretty perfect Steam version of this already, I wonder how the new remaster will differ from that?

What the fuck is going on in this game? The breakneck pace of these exposition dumps is astounding.

Great game

I remember when this game was getting heaps of coverage in the Nintendo 64 magazines. It was the "mature" serious title to fight off those calling Nintendo's console too family friendly. The PS1 did have a lot more mature titles in general, so I understand why this was pushed to fill that void. Never got to try it but the promo art looked really cool

"Fuck it, that's a vibe!" XD

me and my cousin used to try and play this when we were like 10 but we always got killed by the alligators in the beginning and could never ever progress we were to scared this game was a trip lol

You say "Search Action" I say "Progressive Adventure" :p

How did they fit so much audio on one cartridge?

aw, that thumbnail made me think this was a Riddick game

Come on slowpoke!

WoW

Jaunty is just Matthewmatosis

More por favor!

That almost sound like Optimus Prime??

remaster? Cool

@Matt McMuscles do you notice shadowman twisted/bent model is because of Di&sel jeans pants? shadowman is like an jeans model.

This was one of my favorite games as kid. I played the N64 version all the way through and eventually bought it on PC too. The sequel sucked... but I also didn't play it until about three years after it came out, so maybe it was better when it was released?

Teenage me was playing this game and other girls were watching and making fun of it and i was internally like "No stop making fun of it, it's super cool" and now that i'm older i regret my words and deeds (I still sorta appreciate how over the top and dumb it is though)

Petition to make a shadowman movie with vin diesel

For people who don't want to wait for the remake, you can buy the Game on GoG.com www.gog.com/game/shadow_man You can also Download HD Textures from moddb www.moddb.com/mods/na22920/addons/shadow-man-re-texture-by-arkup-updated-2015 After installing Game + Texture Pack, run D3DConfigUtility from the installation directory! Here enable Advanced Settings, set the Hooks to Dithering, Vsync, HQ Textures and Triple Buffering. Set also your desired Screen Resolution (up to 1080p). Ingame go to Options, Mouse Options, Enable Mouse and set X Axis to Rotate for Mouse Look. Go to Configure Controls, for WASD Keyboard Settings. That's it, Have Fun! Looks 1000 Times better than the shown Dreamcast Version from the Video!

Agree to disagree, the current Valliant's run is great and the current Shadow Man is pretty unique.

2:00 the same theme music for “Candy Man” if I’m correct lol

Wha happun with StormRise on the 360? Also, I've been adding SEARCH ACTION to my gamer vocab, just need more opportunities to use it in conversation.

Oh wow I’m early?I thought it said this was posted hours ago

nvm he answered my own question lol

THE REMASTER FUCKED UP THE HANDGUN SOUNDS THO. WATCH THE TRAILERS

I know I sound like a broken record, but another funny OSW reference hahaha :)

Fuck I've been trying to find a copy of this game again
