Is it coincidence that the crosshairs on that screenshot are aiming at the demon’s crotch?

“I hope they go for a little more interesting enemy behaviour and maybe some basic AI.”

If you ever had to take cover, flank, or flush people out with grenades, it wouldn’t be Serious Sam. There are plenty of games tickling those particular neurons; leave Sam to the “run at things while brandishing a minigun the size of Latvia” ones. At a co-op LAN party with speakers, you can get some really cool phase effects going. DAKKADAKKADAKKA.

I like the Ritual Entertainment quote at the top of the page.

Left 4 Dead’s AI director using Serious Sam’s combat mechanics.

Each level you advance brings slowly throws new enemies into the mix as you play on.

Come on Croteam, that’s what SS3 needs.

SS2 was decent, but not quite as good as the first 1.5/2. With the Insamnity mod, it’s absolutely top drawer when it comes to LAN play though.

huh? I never knew there was a serious sam 2. I thought it was just first and second encounter? So is SS2 worth playing?

(loved first and second encounter btw.)

Long sight lines, short range weapons, not quite enough ammo, vast waves of screaming enemies, herds of *massive* beasts, doors that lock behind you plus a piss-taking, gamers in-joke sense of humour = shitting + lol-ing yourself :D

(its the most ‘Robotron: 2084′-style fps imo)

Sorry that was atrocious. My apologies.

Gamecock? They were screwed from the beginning. Sounds like they’re onto a winnar with new publisher GameFaeces.

I never played SS2, but had the gold edition of the first one which I believe included second encounter?

It was really good fun, and it was good to get to use one’s Doom circle strafing skills once more.

Let’s hope the next one does not go all Doom 3.

I loved the first and second encounters. Brilliantly silly. and the headless kamikaze were just stupid. I just couldn’t get into the second one for some reason. i should retry with the Insamity mod, definitely!
