Things you would like to see in Shadowman: Darque Legacy

Post by TronNerd82 »

What are some things, be it characters, references, items, or anything else, that you would like to see appear in Shadowman: Darque Legacy whenever it comes out?

Personally, I'd like to see Blowfish Studios implement alternate costumes based on Shadowman's past outfits. Even if it doesn't tie into the actual story, it'd still be kind of cool to play through the game in one of the VH1 outfits, or even a costume based on the 1999 Shadowman game for Dreamcast, N64 and PS1.

Just some things to wonder about.

That would be awesome. Which VH-1 costume? The spandex one or the leather jacket one? I'd prefer the latter.

I'd much rather see the leather jacket one, but both costumes would be good.

Different outfits would be good. I've always felt Shadowman was kind of a tough IP because technically by far the most popular version is the original video game version, which is obviously not the version from the comics or the version that most comics fans want. You're gonna go to market with a game that disappoints either the comics audience or the gaming audience unless you thread that needle just perfectly.

(As a comics guy I have zero problem with a game that is 100% Jack Boniface.)

A Michael Leroi variant skin for people who want to play with that version...

It'd be especially cool if they could even throw in a low-poly Michael LeRoi skin, perhaps as a hard-to-find Easter egg or DLC or something

Something like this:
