Bulletstorm, Duke Nukem Forever and now this. Should be a great year for fans of mindless FPS action.

More screens coming tomorrow

And I could see this being the best for mindless action! Hopefully it'll be more like the first game(s) than the SS2, though SS2 is probably pretty good actually, I just haven't had chance to play it properly.

[Party boy]

The graphics possibly look a bit too detailed for a SS game though, we want loads of enemies and a good frame rate!

[mekanor]

Wooooo!

Should be fantastic! I'm hoping after this is out they redo serious sam 2 like they did the first and second encounter.

[Party boy]

I went back to it recently and thought the graphics still hold up pretty well to be honest.

RPS have the details and screen shots that were just released.

The trouble with the second game was it was exactly like parts 1 and 2 of the first game, it just had better graphics (though i remember reading that the Xbox version had a horrible framerate or somthing like that).

This will probabaly be much the same again, they cant really do anything else with a Serious Sam game than have hundreds of enemies run at you while screaming, and then have you kill them all by shooting them in the face. Ive played through them all and they are all fun diversions but they all just seem to meld into one giant long level that features you killing rabid alien creatures in a giant open space.

Ummmm.....16 player coop through the whole campaign.

Bought.

The waves of enemies will have to be epic to make that worthwhile. Here's hoping!

[Party boy]

Good point, it'll probably turn into a turkey shoot with that many people... We can, but hope... Can't see them using anywhere near 16 times the enemies for that many people though!

Perhaps they'll make the enemies 16 times bigger


honestly, 16 player co-op is just ridiculous. The amount of carnage going on will probably make Left 4 Dead look slow-paced.


It also guarantees that the narrowest part of every level will be as wide as an airport runway. Although I guess this is Serious Sam we're talking about here

yeah, it's pretty much just Geometry Wars with a y-axis. The best they could do really is add more enemy types with interesting movement patterns, and a pile of silly weapons which combine in interesting ways.

I still can't wait to play it though

“Holy crap, I am going to make a boatload of cash of this game,” said Fork Parker, chief financial officer at Devolver Digital, the Serious Sam 3: BFE publisher. “I mean that’s what this is all about, right? If this thing comes out in the summer my wife is totally getting the tit job she’s been asking for.”

Serious Sam 3 will bring the boom to PC and game consoles this summer.

When asked for further comment, Fork replied, “Bam. Tit job.”

I want a long corridor level with 1000's of chompy chops running at you and just a minigun for defence.

Roman Ribaric: Cover system??? Regenerating health??? You can't be Serious!

[prinnysquad]

Haha looks like a blast! Co-op madness. Plus, it features the chompy chops and bulls in revamped visual goodness.
