Serious Sam 3 @ Ars

I walked through a series of Egyptian buildings in one of the levels included in my preview build of Serious Sam 3, and everywhere I looked sat pieces of armor and rounds of ammunition. In this game, that's a very bad sign. Soon enemies began warping in and the gunfire began. My assault rifle ran out of bullets first. I switched to the shotgun, but that meant I had to get close to my targets. Waves upon waves of enemies crashed into the walls of fire I threw at them, but I was soon overwhelmed by their numbers and died before restarting at the last save point.

HAHHHAHAHAHA:ROTF:

I watched the trailer and read the review.

1. trailer is not the best and his movements were like in ss1 and ss2
2. like the classic versions, its all carnage
3. the weapons :D
4. pc platform first, then consoles..woooooooooooo

[Philip_J_Fry]

There are no solid announced plans for a console version yet, because the team wanted to focus on the PC version.

wow an actual PC game!! must buy

[STEvil]

Did I mention that there is no cover system? And your health will not regenerate?

Fortunately, Sam can carry every gun in the game at the same time, so you can switch between them at will. How can he do this? Shut up, that's how.

yaaaaay :D

Split screen co-op! Should be great on a projector. Thanks for the new trailer.

If you haven't played Serious Sam or SS Second Encounter or the HD versions (good stuff) then these are Serious Spoilers. If you have played SS before there are a few SPOILERS too!

That's what's great about this game. You hear them, you know what's behind the door/wall and still they will eat you alive ha ha.

waaa no revolver + i hope that was set to easy

Nice gameplay video. Experienced player on "yawn, when does the game start" setting. ha ha ha.
SS always had great positional audio. With good speaker placement you knew exactly where and how close enemies were coming from which is real handy because they come at you from all directions. You can hear 1 or a few kamikazis running up behind you but you're already overloaded from the horde in front of you and you know what will happen if you don't turn and deal with them ha ha. Seems like I only used the forward key to pick up ammo because the rest of the time I was running sideways, backwards or sideways and backwards while spinning around!
Can't wait!

new vid 9minutes

[Hondacity]

3minutes into it....f*ing crazy, only a sledgehammer :ROTF:

[cowie]

I think thats the first section when he first gets his guns.
More like a cod pardy map.
even thuo i might miss the cartoony colorfull maps/bosses/clowns/rino's and spiders of SSII.. i do like how its more like the first two games.

hippie mode set on "no %&*$*&^ way" with a few friends is looking really good...


I wonder if they still have double the fun with the hand gun and uzi?

Screw the Dailymotion login requirement. You should have mentioned that.

Thanks cowie. The graphics look greatly improved over the originals, but sadly the gameplay hasn't evolved much along with it. I might give it a go, but I have a feeling it's going to feel like a glorified repeat of the first 2.

[Philip_J_Fry]

just saw this, graphics option low according to the guy who posted
