Shadow Man: Remastered Playthrough - Part 10 Asylum Playrooms 

The playrooms creeped me out as a kid when this first came out. Looking forward to getting there in the remaster. 👊

Everyone I know who played this game remembers the playrooms fondly. It's weird to think people don't like it!

just did this level and was missing 2 souls, but i spent nearly 3 hours just getting through the stage and trying to search every nook and cranny. It was so confusing but the more exploring got me me more souls...but was just a brain overload trying to remember the map in the end + the music on loop drove me nuts while i kept revisiting parts of the playroom over and over again.

One thing i love with this game is that you need a very good memory to remember which way you must take. NO map ! It’s hell; DeadSide is a labyrinth for your mind. A lot of players were complaining about it. In my opinion it’s a ‘’casual state of mind’’

I kept on dying in the same places as you did😂 those violators thou! Thanks for sharing👍

Thanx for posting this mate i been turning this place over all day looking for them souls. ❤ 😃👍

That playrooms music really gave me the creeps as a kid. Had nightmares of that soundtrack back in the day. Still nostalgic though.

I absolutely loved this level as a kid. For the music of course 🤭

I'm watching your videos while playing, thank you very much I got stuck because I didn't know why there were two levers in the nursing home hahaha and now I'm here

Thanks would never of found those blood waterfalls in those pipes

Thank you for your knowledge I'm currently playing through this game and when I'm stuck I use your walkthrough great job your videos are so easy to follow dude

Thanks JMM! I really appricate you posting these! Like you, I enjoyed this game when it came out on the 64. It's so fun to go back in time and play this! I never made it through the first time, but this time, I plan on going all the way through. I really like the remaster. Thanks again for doing these. I will be using them as reference. Cheers! Well done.

This video helped me so much! The playrooms was nightmarishly difficult to navigate. Trying my best to not resort to using a guide for every step, but it's so hard for a new player like me to fully grasp what I'm supposed to do next or where I should go. I have not encountered such unapologetically nonlinear game design before. The navigation/sense of direction can be punishing at times. Great guides.

Great horor game. Success for your channel 🔥

thank you so much bro, had no idea about the second bloodfall, ur a real one :)

Dude the flesh walls and that big door are so gross. Love the design of this game. It's amazing how it holds up all these years. And the soundtrack to this level makes zero sense yet is perfect for the level. Keep these vids coming @JMMREVIEW. Really enjoy watching this. I have the original PS1 version which does suck but I still feel tempted to pull it out as I watch these. Maybe I will. I bought it on Steam a few years back but it's obviously not there now, which sucks.

Playrooms and cageways really frustrated me on my first time through, but now on my second run I've found them quite enjoyable. Particularly cageways was frustrating as it was very confusing to me hunting down cadeaux without Marcher! I loved the atmosphere of playrooms since the first time :)

Can we expect more of these videos? I really enjoy the commentary and the explanations. Pretty high quality and informative playthrough if I may say so.

awesome work my man hav been following your progress-played this years ago with my son and great memories here .

So in the room where there is the ram skulls painted in blood, im sure its a puzzle involving blood and fire. Ram=Fire in the occult, im damn sure its a puzzle. Ill keep you updated. Maybe im just crazy.

Personally found trying to take those surgeons and the sniper enemies at long range got me killed/wasted a lot of health, mainly because the shots have to be charged to hit at long range (killing shot especially taking too long to charge up and the enemy recovers during the charging time or while the projectile is in motion), your voodoo weapons can't hit that far away and if fighting multiple you end up accidentally strafing into shots. Found it easier to zig-zag towards them and fully charged shot + flamebeau for an instant kill, they are scary and can kill you very quickly but fighting them at medium to close range felt faster and safer to me.

See new upload = Day is Made. Also, make your uploads however long. I’ll sit and watch shadow man content for over an hr at a time. There’s a charm to your commentary and your play style. I’m liking seeing the remaster through the lens of your play through. Keep it up!

really enjoyed the walkthrough. i found this on 2007 i think. i only played up to asylum. i was a scaredy cat. but now i get to see more of the game through you. thank you for ur time that's been spent on this game. eagerly waiting for the next upload.

Very good videos,

In playrooms it's really hard to navigate, when you 1st time playing at least, would be a lot cooler to have resident evil style map or something. And another thing is music, its not creepy, but damn, cant listen to that whole lot, when i was collecting remaining cadeux, i just disable music in this lvl.

Just wanted to thank the uploader for creating this playthrough with commentary, for years, ever since I was a child, this game has been extremely confusing, I still to this day don't know how to get all the dark souls in asylum gateways, even after 15 years, used to play on n64, this game is a childhood favorite, and with the new remaster, and your playthrough, it has made the game a bit more easier to play, so thank you,jmmedia

Really appreciated all the coverage you've had on the remaster. Do you know if Nightdive changed the number of Retractors to 5? I can't tell if I missed one, or if one of my schisms is glitched.

4:15 Excited to let you know that the car crusher button is now functional!!! i just tested it, so cool!!!!

Never played the game but I heard the soundtrack like 3 or 4 years ago, that shiet just fcuked me up

This is my least favorite level because I suck at swimming w Xbox controller! I need to get last 3 remaining dark souls to reach 120 and of course they are in the playrooms! Will rewatch play through again😂 it’s quite confusing in parts but I figured it out and got the last 3 souls😉 thanks for all the great PTh 🤩🤩 now on to secret level in fogometers😉

In a room/lab where a huge mutant is located, if you only take a machine gun (without ammunition), then (in some barrels) ammunition for it will start to appear in the game. But if you take the ammo from the lab, then the character in the game will be unhappy if you use those ammo ahead of time. In the original game, it was. Perhaps in "Remaster" you can also use a machine gun without taking ammunition from that lab. You can come back for ammo later when you need it.

On one hand The Playrooms is the most disturbing and creepy which is great in atmosphere. The music there really adds alot. But it can also get to be a bit much and can be insanity inducing so the second time when I backtracked back to the playrooms I used the disco music (from the secret) instead.

I think you need marcher gads to get to the trueform in playrooms there are also 2 powerful secrets one of them is in the war veteran serial killer area maze and lets you use guns in deadside the other is FPS mode you get that by walking into the fan on the side that pushes you in the experimentation rooms

Couldnt have done this without you man .. purely orientational . Im really severely directionally challenged. Thats my kriptonite IRL and in video games. I have no clue how i got so far into this as a kid without the guidance. Maybe the fact i had mates to bounce off and magazines helped. You've made it a pleasure though. Ps. No clue how you managed it without lock on either. Thats some AIDS on toast tryna hit em without the lock on

So I played a bit ahead cause I was eager. Long story short, I’ve completed jack the rippers part & have made it to the controls for the second piston. But the second piston does in fact seem to have a specific combination that I cannot figure out. Please help lol

buzzin x didn't even know a remastered existed. The orginal Dark Souls

do 1 hour epsiodes ,don t cut ,it s better

If you want a trip then look at art for the hookmen. They're not green-skinned monsters in white outfits, they're fat guys with pierced nipples in green gloves and boots, and gimp masks.

If you stand on top of the pool table with four cue sticks in it for like 10 seconds you get transported to a secret platform with a second teddy bear on it. Still have no idea what it does because it doesn't trigger a secret. Also doesn't show up in the menu but it does display a warp icon.

hello, I have played this game many times it is wonderful, but I noticed a strange thing about this level of the game, when you take the two souls prave where at minute 18:41 of the video You jump on an imaginary platform and then kill the two red monsters and take the two prave souls, in the versions that I played that platform does not exist,You have to go a whole other way and have the power to walk on fire to get to that area too. How did you create that platform to get there first? In the Italian version There is no game ...

I both love and hate the Playrooms. I find all of the Asylum levels frustrating though I do enjoy completing them. Playrooms is a BIG Asylum stage that comes at the end of a gauntlet of Asylum stages and its like getting back on a roller coaster after you've puked your funnel cake out --- roller coasters are fun but after your head has been rattled enough and you've got a migraine you don't really want to hop back on. The music in Playrooms is comedically brilliant, but after a time you find yourself lost and confused in the stage and then the music isn't funny anymore, it rather feels like it's laughing at you. The first time I beat the stage I felt I had scoured it and I didn't feel like going back to find Dark Souls and Cadeaux when I got new abilities later. In general I don't prefer Metroid designs in games, though I do love Shadow Man, I much prefer game design that has levels that you are meant to play through once per run, like Tomb Raider on PS1, with secrets that can be unlocked with the abilities and items you've already obtained. In a game like that I think Playrooms could really stand out, but all of the frustrating aspects of Shadow Man are brought out with Playrooms because it isn't the first Asylum stage that you visit and you're not going to see it all in your first go.

A lot of people hate the playroom level but it's personally one of my favorites of the game

I can't find the location for the 5th retractor. I think I miss one, but I don't know where.

15:15 - that part is the worst thing in this game IMO. At least 1/3 of this level is only accessible through that pipe and it's very easy to miss. I just had to look up how to get those unreachable souls I had seen earlier. A very enjoyable game otherwise.

You got great content your vids are good but the game is so dark... Wish you would remake these make it less dark with your tv graphics card and game settings. This way people can see the way. Again its not you the game is dark meant to confuse but when filming something like this for walkthrough purposes it just be better.

shooting the blockage 15min made me mad. I hve been running all over the place for hours and had 0 idea that was a thing. COnfusing, maze like, areas I'm fine with but not obscure mechanics that are never explained.

Is this remastered a full release?

The new textures in the Playrooms is the only level that I don't like how it looks in HD, because the textures are screwed up, and it looks ugly to see the textures repeated in large areas of the level, and it is a lot.

25:37: Toy Story

24:00 You mention rams' heads. What if those aren't rams' heads. what if they're ovaries ? Analyze This is a reference to psychology. Early psychologists thought hysterectomies cured hysteria.

Believe me or not it's the easiest level

24:14 Those aren't rams, they are female anatomy --- ovaries, uterus, vagina

God this game ia such a fucking slog
