How is this compared to the sequel?
I loved the idea of the sequel, but I just never really found it fun to play for some reason. Was it more of the same, or did they change stuff for the worse for 2econd Coming?

Changed for the worse I'm afraid. They dialled way down the exploration of a huge interconnected world aspect that was the best thing of the original, it was pretty linear and streamlined in comparison. Still a solid action adventure though.
Ah, OK. i Probably wasn't clear in my post, but I only played 2. This one sounds cooler, as the change s you mentioned were like my biggest problems with it.
Not specific to original owners - it's just a "standard" 25% launch discount available to everyone (lasts a week starting from release day).
Going by the DF video it seems more like PC > N64 > Dreamcast > PS1.
I played the PC version back in the 2000s myself.
Remember always wanting to play it since N64 era but never got around despite owning the PC version on Steam for years. After hearing early news for a possible remaster I didn't bother and decided to wait...now I finally bought it (12EUR seemed like a fair price).
12 hours in now with 80+ souls found.
Huge nostalgia bomb but you can tell the cut content is cut content. Outside of my memories of the base game it just feels less coherent with the rest of the game. Fantastic to have this kind of stuff added back in though.

It's great to be playing this finally, mom wouldn't let me back in the day(lol) and I remember my cousin having it
I'm having a bit of trouble with the controls (using an xbox one controller). Didn't this game used to use some sort of z targeting mechanic?
The remaster is neat, but man when it comes to lighting (and darkness) a lot of the mood has been ruined :/
The opening Jack the Ripper scene looks so much worse for example. The remaster is just way too bright.
I agree lol... I find its gritty-ass look to be more atmospheric, and just more appealing overall than the vaseline/smudged out "smooth" look of the other older versions. Though that framerate is obviously unacceptable hah.
(Obviously the remaster looks a lot better than all of them.)
At long last! It is releasing on Switch on January 17th.

Same! It'll be great to play the game closer to the PC/DC version. The major differences between each version is such a unique and nostalgic part of that era when Dreamcast was co-existing with the N64 and PS1, and the hardware capabilities of each console were so vastly different.
If you mean the new one, I think the new one is just a oddly configured Pro controller so I don't see why it wouldn't work with it. Oddly mapped cause is the right stick the C-buttons?
Extremely excited to see it coming to consoles this month. Interesting that it's hitting PS4 a full 5 days before the Switch - is that the case for the Xbox as well? I'll probably get it for Switch down the line for the portability, but I'd like to get it for my Series X first (especially if it's gonna be out at the same time as the PlayStation version).
Great memories playing this on psx back in the day, i remember i bought it on Christmas eve so holidays were spooky as hell, I was like 12 so I had no idea what to do but i had a blast doing it
the dogs at the beginning scared the crapt outta me

Finally!
I truly can't wait, remember loving this back in the day but barely remember anything these days.
Can't wait to get back into it.
It may have accidentally fired off based on my own timezone. The store front configurations aren't all that straight forward to understand if you aren't in America.
Bought. Glad we can download from ps application now
Edit: or not. Still not available... Norway PSN that is š

A quick question. Can we choose the spoken language without having to deal with censorship? The old PC game on Steam didn't allow the German dub to be used without the censored USK version (unless you replaced the voice files manually)
Would be lovely to play the uncensored version with German audio (which is absolutely stellar)

Was tempted to get it but then I remembered how unforgiving (sometimes frustrating) the game was and how much time I took me to complete it as there was no hand holding, maps, pointers, clues etc what do do next. The poor controls didn't help either and are supposed to be only slightly improved in the remaster. The gunplay was also very poor if I remember correctly. I don't think I could do it all again with slightly better graphics. Game was not very good then and I don't think it's much better now to justify a replay. Some games are simply better remembered than replayed and shadow man is one of them for me.

Wow the original music composer is back with new audio. That might does it for me! But I just want to know if it runs at 60fps (on PS5) before buying it.
Edit: The game is running at 60fps on PS4.

Same. I can find it in the app, but Sony seemingly won't let us Norwegians neither buy it nor even save it to the wishlist.
Weird. Thanks for the insight!
Either way, I'd have grabbed it whenever it was available. Thank you for your work on getting it out! Nightdive's never let me down.
I was able to wishlist it on PS5 but only there...
I wish it was available. Was excited to go home and try it.
