Click, click boom.
In 2001, the original Serious Sam was already late to the first-person shooter party id Software started, but its gameplay was still familiar because id's classics such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake were still fresh memories. In 2012, Serious Sam 3: BFE is a complete anomaly, following neither the artsy nor military styles which now pervade the genre.
Serious Sam 3 DLC is on the way.
Recently, DLC was announced for Serious Sam 3. Titled Jewel of the Nile, Devolver Digital is bolstering the game's story with new missions plopped into the middle of the plot.
You just got DRM'D!!!
Developer Croteam has come up with an interesting way to prevent their game, Serious Sam 3: BFE, from being pirated. Some games use key codes, secure-ROM, or online validation. Serious Sam 3 doesn't use any of this.
Sam now getting serious in November.
Today brings some bad news for fans awaiting the October 18 release of Serious Sam 3. Alen Ladavac of Croteam made the announcement earlier today in the SeriousZone.com forums:
It's a blast from the past, until you forget to save your game.
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter hearkens back to the first person shooters of yesteryear. There's no real attempt at story, objectives aren't included, and players need only focus on killing everything in sight and moving on to the next room to do it again. Of course, the title is a remake of the 2002 game with the same name, this time with upgraded visuals and an additional mode, Co-Op Tournament. While many staples of modern day shooter design aren't present here, that doesn't mean it isn't an enjoyable romp.
With the recent release of The First Encounter, Croteam has announced that the next title in the series is receiving similar treatment.
Serious Sam: The First Encounter was recently released in HD on both PC and XBLA. Apparently, a single helping of Sam was not enough for the creators, Croteam.
