3D semi-linear Action Adventure Platformer thread (3D Metroidvanias)Currently playing Shadow Man and I have to ask, is it possible to softlock yourself? I have 12 Dark Souls and I can open level 3 gates but everywhere leads to a dead end. I also explored the subway level and the voodoo lady wants me to find pieces of a weapon. Made it to the Temple of Fire and raised the platforms but nothing happened. Any tips?
>>736234176Are you at least using the map? You're not soft locked, you've just missed something
This game is absolutely garbage. Genuine garbage.
>>736235838nah it's great you're just a little bitch
>>736235838Faggot
>>736234176You really need to explore those levels, game will tell you how many souls there are in each level. You will have to pick all of them you cannot finish game without doing that.Layouts are often confusing so you will end up running in circles for long time because you missed something.
>>736235758I checked the map and it's not helping but I guess I'll keep poking around.>>736236319There's one dark souls in the fire temple that I can see but can't get to, hopefully that one will let me open level 4 doors.
>>736234176The only way to somewhat softlock yourself is to play the German version of the original release where living enemies (dogs, alligators, humans, etc.) became unkillable.
>>736237948You wont be getting that one for a while.
>>736234176You cannot get soft locked in this game.
>>736234176Didn't they add an option to show hints with the latest patch? That should tell you where to go
>>736237948Since you have all the platforms, did you traverse to the end to acquire "Touch of Fire"? You climb up that pyramid platform and it'll give you a quick travel checkpoint. Once you get there go through the door way and its straight through 2 long rooms with swinging blades and hammers. Once you get to the 3rd room its pushing like 4 or 5 buttons to get this alter accessible. You walk into it and it'll give you the 1st major power of the game, Touch of Fire. You can then go back to the Deadside checkpoint where you first find the book and push that block where you find that first dark soul.
>>736238990When I climb to the top nothing happens. If I touch the flames I die instantly. Guides say a fast travel point is supposed to activate but it doesnt for me.
>>736235838someone's only played the ps1 version
>>736235838FILTERED
>>736234176>softlockno. the bear guarantees it since you can always port out of a level and return to a fixed point designed to be never soft lockable
>>736240678You missed a switch, look harder. The checkpoint triggers once you pass the fire.
>>736234176>shadow man remastered did not, in fact, become the golden standard for remastersFUCK
>>736241128Here, Anon. Take this Remake of a Remaster of this movie game from 2019.That will be 79.99 plus tip.
The guy who made all the music and sound effects also made the main theme for Bloons TD6. According to an iceberg video I never personally verified.
>>736241128you have to wonder how many possible remasters could have done the same if assets were kept. shadow man specifically set out to restore cut content that didn't make it into the game original release.
>>736240950Thank you, I'll look harder>>736241128>gold standardYa, it's pretty good but the obvious AI upscaling is fucking awful and I can't look at any texture too closely or else it looks like smeared shit.
Yeah i remember that i couldnt progress because i couldnt find one missing soul
>>736234176i miss when the default game was an oot-like
>>736235838Pilgrims be like...
>>736241973Yeah if the flames are still at the top, which I attached a picture here, you missed a switch. When you get the last one that should be a single square platform, the flames disappear and you get the checkpoint once you climb up and walk past the T carved out passage way. Just to note, when you're in the room with the 2 waterfalls check the square spiral staircase doorways, they all have either an opening or its covered by a brown breakable door that has the pyramid symbol on it. Those passage ways will have a button to lift the platforms.
>>736234176>3D semi-linear Action Adventure Platformer thread (3D Metroidvanias)Does Hexen count?
>>736236319You only need 100 of 120 iirc. All the dark souls are only required for the secret gate at the beginning of the Dead side.
>>736234176Anyone have the Shadman edit
>>736244695You need all cadeaux for that.
>>736242975what do you mean? how many ootlikes were ever even like that?
>>736245703I guess he means 3D action adventure. Games like Shadow Man and Soul Reaver.
>>736244847Its different in the remaster. They moved that gate to the Undercity, which was also renamed to “Fogometers” for some reason.
>>736234176Never managed to beat it back in the PSX times, and got lost too in the remaster, fuck this game is so bad and good at the same time
>>736234176>is it possible to softlock yourself?No idea. It was ages since i played the game.
Tragic thing is, there's really no any other game like Shadow Man.>that themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKEHiCFflw8
>>736247316It's comfy, but I don't know how much of that is just Nostalgia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghSuER5Sgh0
>>736243919I spent hours on the n64 version trying to jump to those little platforms on the side. You can make it to the one on the right but not the one on the left. Super hard on consoles, prob easier on the pc remaster.That's what made this game so fun, was trying to get places you were not supposed to go and being amazed when you actually made it.
