Croteam confirms Serious Sam 3, new engine

Croteam has broken radio silence to confirm that yes, there is a new Serious Engine in the works and yes, there is a new Serious Sam title being worked on. Great news for a Friday morning.

F**K YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Sam I will be!

Shame about the other game though, I personally thought it could out do CoD.

Edit: Wait, work for hire? Well, on a related point, Duke Nukem Forever completion...these are the guys, if you ask me.

@edit

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking

Serious Sam 2 sucked, but I remember Serious Sam 1 on Xbox. The coop was amazing fun.

@Kigmal

Yeah, SS2 was disappointing...uninspired weapons, enemies, and levels, though it did have some great moments. I'd give it another playthrough, but it's not 360-compatible, and I sold my original Xbox.

But the first one is BC for 360, and I still fire it up from time to time. I also play with the level editor on the PC version.

(First and Second Encounter both)...and I actually enjoyed #2 as well (even on Xbox, though it took a bit of a turn in style from the PC's First and Second Encounters)...in actuality there were 3 standalone titles so far, the "first Serious Sam" game had two parts, called Encounters, so I wasn't sure if there'd be a following to that pattern or if it'd end. I could have sworn I've seen a screen shot or two of the new Serious Engine a couple months ago somewhere else, and it looked pretty slick.

I had so much fun with the Serious Editor making my own maps and all, creating warp points and building levels and adding lighting and changing the size of the enemies..

To anyone who only played the console games and written them off as poor, you haven't given the franchise its chance. That's like playing the Wii Far Cry and never playing another Far Cry game because you disliked the Wii version. The PC Serious Sam games were incredibly fun if you grew up on Quake and Doom and Duke Nukem, though the time I had personally with SS 2 on Xbox 1 was fun, except for a few frustrating parts.

YEAAAAAAH BABY!

Handheld cannons, headless screaming suicide bombers, charging bulls, and enemies the size of skyscrapers...can't wait for more Sam!

And with the demise of Duke Nukem Forever, this game is ripe for more Duke and FPS parodies.

[ElementX]

God I would hope they'd have a new engine, the other one is like 5 years old

[Cartesian3D]

I swear that I saw some magazine scans showing new serious sam screen shots . (may be 1 or 2 years ago or even more !)

I dont have a link atm.

EDIT 3: I found it.. here is a healthy link :P

whoa...you deserve bubbles for that. this looks a lot cooler than the old serious sams...

[Phantom_T]

There's jibes at Duke Nukem Forever plastered all the way through this.

[Gun_Senshi]

Old school manic fun!

[akaFullMetal]

mindless fun to be honest

[Halochampian]

Cant wait. I loved playing Serious Sam back on the Xbox. Enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would.

[somekindofmike]

I love Serious Sam on PC, I hope that this one is multiplatform, I need a game like a modern Serious Sam in my collection!

[tomdrum6]

this sounds so sick!!!!!!!!

and that screeny is incredible. Hope it brings back the feel of ss1, ss2 was good but didnt capture the originals spark

They announced Serious Sam 3 and a new Serious Engine in 2007, since then there hasn't been that much news on it.

screw Sam Fisher, we want Serious Sam
