This is the first trailer for the upcoming HD re-release of Serious Sam. As you’d expect, it’s very HD. And as you’d expect, it’s very silly. In a good way, of course.
Serious Sam developers Croteam have told Eurogamer that in many ways, the third game in the series will stay true to the series’ roots. Well, except for the series’ trademark “cartoon” graphics. Those have got to go.
Developer Croteam is bringing Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD to Xbox Live Arcade this summer and, eventually, the PC. But what about the other platform capable of handling the seriousness of this first-person shooter, the PlayStation 3?
Today’s announcement of Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD for Xbox Live Arcade had a hidden bonus announcement buried within, the existence of Devolver Digital. That’s the new production company from the founders of the extinct Gamecock and G.O.D.
Developer Croteam has worked up a new version of their CroTech Engine in order to deliver Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD to the Xbox Live Arcade.
When did we last hear about Serious Sam 3? 2007? Oh dear. Far too long. Long enough, even, to worry the game has been quietly given the arse.
