I was wondering where the terrifying, brain-hurting ads were for the Serious Sam: Second Encounter HD update. It may have been out a month already, but there’s no way I can resist posting this trailer. It’s… unsettling.
We are all brothers and sisters here, under Sam.
Here’s last month’s first part of this nonsense:
And here’s the new second part:
I’m sorry.
What the shitting dick nipples?
report
Sam save us all…
report
That shirt and haircut are spot on.
report
Now that. That. That is how you do a trailer! Yes.
report
Must have sound great on paper…
report
To hell with Sam.
Let’s see a game featuring THIS guy.
report
wonderful trailer. But the games STILL do not need a remake. I can’t see this as anything but a sleazy attempt to make some cash. I’d accept a sleazy attempt to make some cash if the remade game actually….YOU KNOW, needed to be remade.
They should do a non-shit serious sam 2, not make the good ones prettier.
report
Couldn’t disagree more. I LOVE the fact that they revisited the first two games and gave them a little more polish. They were instant purchases for me.
report
Am I supposed to start crying during or after the video?
report
Both maybe?
report
Crying during, Oedipus style eye gouging after.
report
I approves absolutelly this videos. Theres truth on this.
But on the other hand, I have buy the first encounter, and I have not played it. Maybe, only maybe, some games have out-SAM-sam. Thinks like achievements, and unlockables are ridiculous. why Serius Sam is soo serius? It needs more ridiculous things. I don’t know, a Bomber Man map, or a tetris map, or something really wierd. I know is just a high-def enough, but has that is not enough for me. Other than, welll.. 2 or 3 hours of nostalgia in high-def.
report
Holy crap.
This was a “maybe if I have time and am bored” purchase, but I HAVE to support that awesome trailer. Perhaps those who didn’t grow up before cable TV missed all those TV preachers with their own local shows, but this really resonates with those of us who did.
Support imaginative trailers! BUY THIS GAME!
report
Amazing.
report
Played the old ones, Was great fun. Feel no need to re-visit.
report
Serious Sam 2 HD is nothing compared to Bulletstorm!!!
report
I have too much emotional attachment NOT to buy these games, waiting for all 3 before i buy them all at once
report
The SD version looks better to me. The HD remake isn’t just higher definition, but also “next-gen”, as in “next-gen is brown”. Or in this case, grey.
report
@Miko
Apparently there are several colour settings in the HD releases – the “vivid” setting gives you back the old SS SD feel.
report
Thats awesome. Sadly I just got a free copy of Painkiller from Green Man Games so all my loony monster stomping time is full…
report
It hurts.
report
looks like something from the minds of Tim and Eric
GREAT JOB!
report
Hey isn’t that Kieron with the white beard? So finally making the move to hollywood eh? SPLITTER.
report
Pure genius, I’d have bought this game after seeing that trailer if I hadn’t bought it already.
report
M’brain-meats hurt.
report
Did anyone catch the “Cover systems are for heathens” on the news ticker? Heh, that made me laugh.
report
OK what are they playing the SD version on? Are they playing it on an Amstrad or something? A pocket calculator?
I’ve just finished replaying the first game and it looked nothing like that.
report
Excellent trailers. Very funny. Also reminds me of the recent mtv awards with Tom Cruise playing his character Les Grossman:

I love these trailers. If any more come out definately post them!
report
These trailers are pure gold! Loved them!
report
Serious sam HD will be serious, seriously.
Sorry couldn’t resist, serious
report
I’m disappointed that the developers decided to mock TV preachers. Some of them can come of seeming silly, but to accomplish this the developers ended up mocking God. Yeah, they were aiming for the ridiculous seeming religious emotionalism, but they still ended up ridiculing the Holy Spirit, the Bible, etc.
I like CroTeam. They’re good developers, and their demo for Serious Sam HD was really good stuff. They just choose a really poor way to attract attention this time.
report
umm.. no. troll?
report
Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus.
report
Amen, Mark.
report
Though they could’ve got even bigger publicity if they’d gone down a line involving Mohammed and the beheaded kamikazes . . .
report
that….
that is the greatest fucking thing i have ever seen in my life. i’m indifferent to more serious sam, but i do want more of that.
report
Aw, this was a really quality post. air max In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
