Please, god.
Do this with Jedi Knight.
I will pay 60$.

I accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

This may finally convince me to buy or build a new computer.

The requirements aren't really that high -- Pentium 4 3Ghz and a 7600 will run it.

It's not on an entirely new engine.

Sith2 would be more like it.

Meh, the gameplay isn't good enough to suck me in again.
It's mostly fun the first time through, but nowadays I get co-op fixes from other games.
(BORDERLANDS RAWKS)

Mine has downloaded...I will play & post some screenshots

I always liked the first Serious Sam better than the others. Though Serious Sam 2 (Not Serious Sam: SE) did have its moments.

Its pretty fun, but I haven't tried co-op yet.

After replaying them recently, I got less excited about the remake. The first one was a lot better, and a new game would've been a bit more welcomed.

No AA - I'll have to turn it on and take some more.

They're working on a Serious Sam 3 as well, I believe.

yeah this is one of those "play this prettied up version to get excited about the next one" type of things

sony did the same thing on a lesser scale (just a resolution bump) with the god of war games

Yeah to me that's sending the wrong message.
Same old game, just shiny new graphics? pass.
They better be more inventive with SS3

Hey now, some of us like the 'same old game'! They didn't advertise it as anything other than that..

Well, I would pay out the nose if they did that with JK.

JK with prettier graphics, decent physics and an adequate netcode would be pretty cool!

JK is a much better game though.
Serious Sam was a fun novelty, but it's appeal is short lived. It's hard to find a game more repetitive then Serious Sam

Tetris. Quake series. Unreal Tournament series (though they have CTF/etc).

I find the primary appeal of SS to be in the co-op mode. It's an absolute blast.

I love serious sam. My computer can't play it, but I'll get a new one within a few months. Likely will not buy it on steam though. I may end up getting it through xbox live so we can play split screen coop.

I loved Serious Sam and Serious Sam: Second Encounter, but I didn't like Serious Sam 2, I thought it was lame.

There is no splitscreen mode on xbox live. Very sad, I know.

I thought Serious Sam 2 was very well done. What didn't you like about it? I thought SE was just a lame, hasty expansion personally.

Well I can't remember anymore. I think I played the demo for a while and all the enemies were flying, annoying enemies that were more frustrating than fun. But it was a really long time ago so I honestly can't remember.

Ah yeah, the demo was terrible compared to the actual game. They chose the worst level by far to use as a demo.

Yes? Those are examples of games where it's appeal is -not- short lived.




Me too, I'm just saying it's appeal got very old for me quite quickly. Even the first play through there was several boring times, because it just keeps sending large waves of enemies, there is little skill needed to finish the game on any difficulty, you just stand back and shoot (most of the time).

I finished it two player, then a few weeks later tried to play it again with some other people, but meh.

Then, quite a few years later, there was an x-box handy with serious sam and a friend and I thought what the hell, game was fun, let's give it another shot. But still, no. I'm all for nostalgia, I'm all for classic gaming, but to me at least, Serious Sam is one of those games you play and enjoy but once.

On the contrary, I've played through Serious Sam a number of times, and it's satisfying each time through. Granted, some of the cooler "wow" areas aren't as "wow" after the first time (waves of were-bulls running circles around me, the size of the final boss, etc.).

Looks good. Might buy this, but chances are my game for December will be Borderlands (and my wife wanted to buy me Assassin's Creed 2 for my birthday, but didn't know it wasn't released on PC at the time yet - so that too, possibly). Is there a demo of this coming out?

My copy of Borderlands will be here tomorrow!

I am so far behind on games...I have a few days off and the weather is going to be crappy, so I will have to catch up.

Borderlands is awesome, I'm really having fun with it. It's a bit jarring at first, with the leveling concept, but it's like Fallout 3 with more focus on action than story and items.

I never really got into Fallout 3...maybe I didn't get far enough in to get hooked. It seemed way too slow.

If you thought Fallout 3 was too slow, Borderlands should be perfect. It's definitely faster.
