DF Retro EX: Shadow Man Remastered - Inside The Brand New Remaster + All Versions Compared!

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.
