Yeah, it looks to be very much a remaster rather than a remake, Denster. The smoother gameplay and sharper presentation seem to be pretty nice. I guess there is always that tightrope of some folk thinking the graphics look a bit old whilst others are pleased it matches the original. Nightdive's remasters of the Turok games were generally well received and this one should play equally well.

No cost announced yet. The Turok games were each £15.99 at launch* on the PlayStation Store and I'd anticipate Shadowman being in the same ballpark.

* A double pack of both Turok games is currently £12.49 in the new year sale.

Id probably pay that. I've always had a keen interest in the Jack the Ripper crimes and that was a hook for me when i first bought it. That opening sequence was great.

The main pain point from what I've seen is the controls - they haven't been adapted for modern standards.

One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

I played the Steam version last year and the controls were noticeably better than the original. A surprising amount of restored content which was cut from the original game too.

Could be, less likely because Spelunky 2 and Anacrusis join the same day but they have shadow dropped (pun intended) games when other released...

When I played it they still hadn't patched in one of the new bosses so the grand finale to the new asylum level was a large empty room.
