looks fantastic.

Screens are too big to link and I'm too lazy to resize or set x and y (if it's allowed here).


TIME AND PLACE ARE SUBJECTIVE – 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.”

Trademark features such as relentless hordes of spectacular enemies and expansive outdoor battlefields return in Serious Sam 3: BFE at full force. Other features include:

Frantic Arcade-Style Action – The calling card of the Serious Sam series, hold down the trigger and lay waste to a never-ending onslaught of attackers or face being overrun by Mental’s savage beasts. No cover systems, no camping – it’s just you and them. All of them.

Mental’s Fearsome Legions – A new battalion of unforgettable minions including the rumbling Scrapjack and towering Khnum join the legendary Headless Kamikaze, Gnaar and Sirian Werebull. Your days of mowing down zombie Nazi space pirates are over.

Serious Melee Attacks – When an enemy slips by your wall of lead and pain, use one of the all-new innovative melee moves to drop an enemy right where they stand in the most violent way possible.

Pure Multiplayer Mayhem – Play through the full campaign mode with up to 16 players or drop the gauntlet and let the heavy ordinance fly in versus modes like Deathmatch and Beast Hunt. This is the next level of Serious Sam multiplayer and all hell is about to break loose.

“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.”

LOL, so even a fantasy [edit: uh, I meant sci-fi] setting needs to be set in the Middle East these days..

..I never really played the games.

The mix of cartoon-ish monsters with realistic rendering is quite interesting. It looks great, nice post-processing.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Looks really fantastic.

The DoF or motion blur in the second to last pic looks kind of awkward, methinks a doctored shot.

Otherwise, very nice pictures. If they can deliver along with the frenetic action familiar from the previous games, look out

The first took place in stereotypical Egypt. The second took place in Central America/Mayan places.

Holy blur batman. Kind of overdone in the pics no?

Will get it day one anyway, as long as it keeps the old run-and-shoot-like-there-is-no-tomorrow gameplay. Year of the speed shooters.

You can never go wrong with more Serious Sam. Kind of like Kool-Aid.

Also, those screens are incredible.

Serious Sam remains my favorite online co-op experience ever. Can't wait to tackle this with a buddy.
Same here. Me and three friends back in high school would LAN party the shit out of Serious Sam all night long. So good.

Sweet Jesus. And hello, modern-day Egypt.

I am so ready to have a rocket launcher fight again.

Haha I bought SSHD through Steam but never really messed with it much online, unfortunately. So I haven't checked out the 16-man co-op yet, just the oldschool 4-man. Sounds nuts.
 
By the way, there was a Croteam feature in a Croatian gaming magazine a few years ago. It had some information about SS3 and the more serious (how is that even possible?) tactical shooter they were working on at the time. There were also some early SS3 screens, but the environments looked so weird stylistically that I thought they were actually taken from the other game, and then had SS monsters photoshopped in.

Looks like that might not have been the case. :)

It looks stupid. Please be stupid. I love stupid.

Yes, but SS1 stupid, NOT SS2 stupid. SS2 was trying way too hard and it ended up not being funny for the most part.

For people who can't read the Arabic signs. One of them say Om Al Nour' store for Embroidery and Stealing. The second is a Fanta ad.
There is nothing wrong with the others though they only mention it's taking place in Luxor, Egypt.
 
I have both SSes downloaded on Steam but my laptop is a piece of crap so I haven't been able to play them, even though I desperately want to. This looks so good, I have to play the first two before I get to this one.

Sam I am!

Was really diappointed with SS2, but the nature of the game makes me interested in future sequels - it's nice to just have a random blast with your brain idle. Screens look better than I expected, despite the overuse of DOF.

This must be one of the greatest press release quotes ever:

“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.”

Brings back good memories, the kind involving 16-player co-op on ridiculous difficulty settings, explosions and things dying everywhere!

Looks as great as expected, I am ready!
What's up with tentacle chopper though.
Do you mean the half-naked human body, thrown by the monster below, in front of a chopper further away?

Hmm I am not sure what I am seeing, hehe.
I really like the realistic style with the wicked monsters in it. Reminds me of killer tomatoes ;)
