BOOM! That was the sound of Serious Sam 3: BFE news dropping. Croteam’s Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom. Serving as a prequel to the original indie sensation, Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam 3: BFE takes place during the Earth’s final struggle against Mental’s invading legions of beasts and mercenaries.

Set against the collapsing temples of an ancient civilization and the crumbling cities of 22nd century Egypt, Serious Sam 3: BFE is an exhilarating fusion of classic twitch shooters and modern gameplay features. "Serious Sam 3 is about pure fun and unfiltered action,” said Davor Hunski, chief creative officer of developer Croteam. “We wanted to expand on everything gamers love about the series while adding some genuinely unique new features to really enhance the mayhem Serious Sam is known for.”

All well and good but in your excitement you forgot to include a proper link or links the screenshots correctly
 
a no-nonsense shoot em up game is always fun to play. I might check this one out when it launches.

BTW Steve, you misspelled Sam in your title.
 
Serious Sam is easily one of my favorite shooters, and has been since I played the original demo way back when. You just can't beat it for good run and gun fun. :)
 
Same Steve? Seriously? Fail...

Although, like Oldie said easily one of my all time favorite just run and gun shooters.
 
Mass amounts of enemies with updated graphics. I want it!
 
SS was a great...for about 20 mins. of game play. I hope the latest SS has some strategy, a story or some direction/purpose.
 
I wonder if people on the forums are looking forward to this more than COD3 or whatever the fuck theyre on this year. I know I am.

Hell yes I am. COD is garbage i want to get Serious! Lol at those thinking this game requires strategy. If they keep to the originals $20 launvh prices i will definitely be happier
 
I played a little of 2? I think it was... didn't like it and don' get the hype... anyone care to explain why it's so good?
 
These screen shots look pretty sharp! What awesome news. Had not expected this level of detail :D

Coop is where this game shines. If you're playing this solo for a storyline or anything, you're doing it wrong.
 
Might have to get some goods for my gaming rig to play that. It's been a long time since I played Serious Sam. What some people forget was 2's coop mode. THAT was what made the game fun. Man, I might have to dig around and see if I can find it.
 
Ah, okay. I don't play too many multiplayer games... save something like Diablo.

This +1 million. I had a blast playing both of these co-op. Exciting news.
 
Are they designing this game first for the PC then the console? Curious to know if the screenshots are the product of the PC?
 
I AM. I love the way theres a storm brewing in the industry. Seems we're doing a little throwback to the original goodies, run and gun fps games. Duke Forever, SS3, Bulletstorm.....now we need a nice new totally brand new Painkiller built on a new engine. :)
 
I dont give a flyingF for COD 7, 8, or which ever is next.

Seriously :p I don't.

As for Serious Sam 3, I am really excited.

Apart from being phenomenal old style Run'n gun, this was the game that actually tried to move the industry further by using a very scalable engine with enormous amount of graphical settings, capable of rendering huge number of creatures in a big open world, something rare even today with all these foggy shooters, limiting visibility distance.

And looking at these screenies, I'd say we're in for a treat. Textures are top notch and lightning looks on par with Call of Pripyat.
 
hell yeah croteam is a great dev. fun games that are bug free and lots of cool video options to play around with
