Serious Slop

 

[Gonzito]

Sad

 

[TintoConCasera]

Co-op Serious Sam could be serious fun.

But damn son do I hate the artstyle they went with. Even Serious Sam 2 looks better imo.

 

[Hudo]

It's not even made by Croteam.

 

[winjer]

Serious Shit.
WTF is this crap.

 

[KyoZz]

Looks terrible

 

[GrayChild]

First Painkiller, now this. When will they ever learn?

Can we get at least one AA/AAA old-school FPS that's not Doom?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

But why?

 

[Roman Empire]

They killed Serious Sam with this artstyle and direction.

Co-op is the only positive of this game.

 

[MMaRsu]

Serious Sam but lame af

 

[MMaRsu]

Not to mention the whopping one and two enemies on screen at all times

What is this fucking garbage man

 

[Timberwolf25]

Seems to have a serious lack of animation in a lot of areas

 

[freemandos]

It looks terrible in many levels. And being co-op is a full of nothing, previous entries already have co-op.

 

[Futaleufu]

It could be fun, I've played First/Second Encounter HD with 20 other players rushing thru levels at hardest difficulty, better balanced and you could have a game.

Painkiller and now this. I really don't understand returning to old IPs and doing enough to them that it won't appeal to the original fans. I get trying to "reboot" something, but man, if it strays so far from the original, why even bother? Especially when they weren't gigantic IPs in the first place?

Its just moneygrabs

 

[DAHGAMING]

I thought this was going to be that big fat heffer bitch from Concord for a moment.

 

[MrCunningham]

I don't hate the concept of a multiverse of Serious Sam variations. It actually seems like an interesting idea for a five player co-op horde shooter.

 

[ahtlas7]

A mobile game?

 

[RavageX]

A mobile game?

Looks like it should be to me.

What horde? The game trailer has one or two enemies on screen at all times

I remember playing the first game on my 2002 Sony Viao... I'm old

 

[DeepEnigma]

That's not Serious Sam.

That's a pretender.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Hahaha hell yeah. I remember being a barely a teenager and watching my older brother playing it and looking super fun.

 

[JusticeForAll]

Why even release this under the serious sam brand?

 

[Signalis]

That looks absolutely fucking shit

 

[MrRibeye]

 

[John Bilbo]

Yeah it's dead.

 

[Matt_Fox]

Serious Shit: Shitterverse

 

[John Bilbo]

Through modding anything is possible.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Its just moneygrabs

Of course, but when it's an almost niche IP, why even bother? Lmao.

 

[ReasonBeing]

They are referring to this,

It only shows the hordes during the cinematics, but presumably they are in the game considering they are directly referenced.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Sorry, is it even possible to not piss all over a competent franchise anymore? What the fuck are developers doing?

The absolute state of this fucking industry, man.

Marathon aswell...

Reminds me a lot of the upcoming Halo remake. These idiot execs don't realize that the ADHD kids of today don't want to play games that are slower paced, aren't social, or isn't streamer friendly crap. It's pathetic and one of many fucking reasons why I'm just done with most Western studios outside of random AA or indie devs.

First Painkiller was so cool. Serious Sam First/Second encounter was also cool.

 

[MrCunningham]

Basically this. The trailer did say that there will be dynamic hordes of enemies. But it is interesting that the trailer only really focused on boss battles and in-game cutscenes. The game is being developed by Behaviour Entertainment, same people who worked on Dead by Daylight. Shaterverse is running on UE5, which comes as no surprise at all. It remains to be seen how well they can pull off a large scale number of hordes at one time. Serious Sam 4 was the last game to use the Serious Engine, and that build could thrown around a lot of enemies on screen at once using its 'legion system'.

This isn't a reboot, Serious Sam 4 was released a few years ago.

 

[mdkirby]

Yikes. How does this still keep happening. Have they not seen the graveyard?

These devs feel like Russia soldiers looking at one of them many many roads of death in Ukraine with untold rotting corpses and thinking "yep, we'll make it"

Like how?

Are companies just allergic to money? Is it all just one big troll, bored billionaires footing the bill on a silly who can lose money in the games industry the fastest contest?

I just don't get it.

 

[Generic]

Each character have its own powers.

 

[MacReady13]

Looks like garbage. Who in their right minds thinks this is what is needed in gaming today?

 

[CamHostage]

Of course, but when it's an almost niche IP, why even bother? Lmao.

Serious Sam has done a number of spinoffs over the years (primarily in the X360 years.) I'd be happier if this was another something from MamasBestGames or whomever, but so be it, I'll skip this bus and catch the next one...

 

[MiguelItUp]

Believe me, I know. I was saying when this happens in general, not specifically this game/instance.

 

[Nelly_Nel_7.1.3]

No thank you.

Let see what the Sony, Nintendo, and Steam game lounge down the street game menu have to play.
