Shadow Man, being a PSX/N64-gen game, has some interesting hiccups around the seams. In a few spots of some of the levels, you can kind of glitch your way around geometry and end up in bizarre half loaded versions of the level through bypassing what would normally be zone swapping sectors, or by triggering zone swaps in unintended ways. This means you can go out of bounds on the map or climb up an untextured version of a normal structure, which basically always ends with your death because the floor doesn't exist anymore. It's neat to play with, but kind of inconsequential except maybe for clever speedrunners.

In Shadow Man Remastered, they not only kept those glitches in the game, they hid extra poo poo in them to find. :psyduck:

There's actually a secret weapon unlock for finding specific glitch spots in every map in the game. What the absolute hell.

Marvelous. That's how some of these OoB glitches should be handled, IMO. Fixing it's gonna take a lot of effort, won't affect most of the typical players, and will just make speedrunners play the unpatched version, let's just hide cool poo poo back there.

my theory is a group of players or playtesters pissed off the devs somehow

e: I just remembered the "angry dragon" thing (like hot carls, cleveland steamers, etc. which are also in the list), so that explains these I think. But wtf about "guppy"?

That owns. Halo 1 and 2 Anniversary did the same thing; it's just a fresh coat of paint on top of the old geometry so you could still get around, but if you toggled the new graphics on at the right time, you could find secret terminals, skulls, or collectibles. The speed run par times also generally assume you know where to leave the map and when, with one of the achievements even named after a speedrunner.

on investigating this it looks like luigi does in fact have a deviant mechanism by which he uses his legs for evil

presumably anything green in a nintendo game can ignore inertia, c.f. green koopa shells never slowing down when hitting something, or link being able to roll indefinitely

Alright, going to need an explanation or at least a best guess as to why that happens? Why would circling an NPC cause a background texture to distort in size?

If I had to guess, something fucky about LODs?

It looks like it happens specifically when you're directly south or west of the NPC. I haven't played Legends but I would hazard a guess that there's supposed to be a camera angle change that isn't working properly or something.

That's the best guess. For some reason, loading the full model from an LOD here makes part of the model bigger every time it happens.

The NPC they're running around is not needed, and in the replies people replicate it without her being there, it's just that she happens to be at exactly the right distance from these characters that running around her reliably causes the bug.

"That's what they all say!"
The latest patch notes for Star Wars: The Old Republic had this line: "Removed the shrunken and the invisible Tauntauns from the Republic Base on Hoth."

Most players didn't know about this bug, so they went to check it out before the patch went live.



I think it's safe to say that tauntaun is smaller than anyone expected (it's the tiny dot below the big tauntaun's head).
