Here’s something you’re seeing here first. A new trailer for Serious Sam 3 BFE, following the life of one of the game’s many headless kamikazes. Because that’s the correct way to trail an old-school shooter – a documentary about a headless man with bombs for hands. We’re all agreed on that. So head below to take a world exclusive peek at the new video.
A leaked document explains the purpose of the video:
“In preparation for the launch of Serious Sam 3: BFE, Mental’s Horde (NYSE: MNTL) has announced a plan to fill over five billion henchmen positions that have opened up since the release of Serious Sam HD. While admitting company morale is low after a decade of defeat at the hands of Serious Sam representatives, the Horde have confirmed that the organization will be redoubling their efforts to take down their longtime nemesis.”
The company’s HR director apparently said,
“We’re seeking recruits for every division from Headless Kamikazes and Scrapjacks, to accounting and risk management. But honestly we’ll accept anyone with a high school education and the willingness to have their head surgically removed.”
Fork hinted at this last night on Twitter. All must follow him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa, yourself!

Uh-oh…

It’s all fun & games until someone loses an eye.
report
..then it’s fun and games you can’t see.
report
Seriously, kind of a big deal.
report
Yeah, Brett looks like he has many leather-bound books in his library.
report
I bet his apartment smells of rich mahogany…

+1

Brett was a good man. Knew him personally, used to have a really big nose that we made fun of in the office before he joined up.
report
Is anyone else getting a major Modern Family feel to that trailer? I don’t really know much about that show, but from seeing it on in the background it looks pretty similar.
Also yay Sam!
report
I hope they do more House of Sam trailers for Serious Sam 3
report
You know… I’ve never actually considered how the kami’s yell AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA without a head until now o_0
report
“Surely you can’t be serious?”
report
I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley
report
Also talk, and how they do normal stuff w/o hands.
report
If I remember correctly, the AI in your head database thing in the first game said something along the lines of “don’t ask”.
report
This is the kind of marketing I can get behind, I just hope the game can live up to it.
They can’t really fail can they. Can they?
report
2 gun limit, QTE’s and a four hour campaign. And no quicksave. Blood on eyes injury, rooms of waist high walls, regening health. NPC companions that invariably get in the way and do nothing or do everything. Either one is bad.
Not saying they’ll do any of this though, just… I’m fucking jaded. But I have faith in Serious Sam.
report
But how can it survive this modern shooter led market without those game enhancing features?
Well strike this one off my to buy list.
report
Well given the games tag line is “No cover. All man” I’d say chest high walls will be banished.
report
They’ll make up for it all with 6005 polygons per krundle.
report
Darkelp: because you seem to have missed the joke, I’ll go ahead and ruin it lest you mistakenly avoid this game: he’s talking about Duke Nukem, not Serious Sam 3.
report
Thank you Mwoody, however I must admit my response was in a sarcastic tone and I will be buying this game.
report
*sigh* Sorry ’bout that, I’ll get my sarcasm detector adjusted.
report
No need to apologise my friend, I didn’t take offence. It’s all good.
report
Always bet on Sam.
report
That was actually pretty funny. Really like Serious Sam’s retarded brand of humor
report
Serious Sam has the best promotional material. Magicka is good, but still only manages second place.
report
Serious Sam will save us all. From what I have no idea but Serious Sam will save us. Yeah. That sounds good. This is the kind of idea I can get behind. But not behind Serious Sam. Like not standing behind Serious Sam. ‘Cause that’s kinda weird and it would probably make him nervous.
….
I should get back to work.
report
If only we could talk to… oh… ok…
report
But how do they smell?
report
Terribl(y sulphuric)!
report
Do you know?
85% of headless kamikazes used to work in telemarketing.
It’s true!
report
And them moving to headless kamikaze was both a promotion AND made them less annoying.
FACT!
report
More of this kind of thing, please1

“So head below…” I get it. Haha! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
report
Croteam, I love you.
report
This is silly PR done right, not by introducing every video with farts and pissing noises.
report
Excellently, excellently done. Well done Croteam
