LOL Some of you guys whine over some of the dumbest shit. If you don't want to use iron sights then dont use it. Problem solved.

Are you serious? If a game has iron sights than it is normally balanced and designed with them in mind, meaning you have to use them. That said, it doesn't look like too much of an issue in this video, and it's only on 2 (maybe 3?) weapons, I'm more concerned about sprinting...Labombadog said:

Looks VERY early.
They wouldn't implement them if they didn't provide necessary benefits (better accuracy over long distances for instance) so you need to use ADS in certain instances. That's the concern I think - that it will change the flow of the game. Usually I don't have a lot of problem with ADS if it fits but if you opt for something that takes a lot from the predecessors why fix something that wasn't broken?Labombadog said:
It doesn't seem to be the case here, but a game having CoD-style iron sights generally means that the game was designed around the console-friendly stop 'n shoot style Call of Duty popularized. Some of us don't like that very much.Labombadog said:
From what we've heard so far, only some weapons will have iron-sights anyway, so I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like they CoDified the entire game, just a few aspects here and there.Phife Dawg said:
And yeah, this is definitely a low quality video. Nothing new, but it certainly isn't doing the game any favors.

Will there also be a Saturn port?

If I want to get into Serious Sam should I just buy the latest one, Second Encounter HD?

Buy First and Second Encounter, they are both worth it. They aren't that long either.Herbspicesoy said:

That didn't look particularly impressive. Hope it's an old as fuck build.
They get to axe a specific weapon and ammo type and free up the space for something new this way. TSE's sniper rifle encouraged (and because it did jack all unless you zoomed in, required) that sort of stop-and-aim gameplay, and that's gone now. The AR lets you run and gun and snipe a little all in one weapon. From an encounter design standpoint, not having a dedicated extreme range weapon will probably reel in the average monster spawn distance somewhat from TSE's insane ranges.Phife Dawg said:

I don't see those things making any difference as long as the enemy counts are where they need to be.Corky said:
But one recent shooter trend that I would actually like to see them borrow is specific vulnerabilities on the enemies. Headshots were fun in Orcs Must Die.

Okay, what?
That's not Serious Sam, that's Call of Duty with Serious Sam enemies D:
My list of complains about that video (apart from the laggy framerate):
- Too much grey/brown
- Generic weapons (what happened to the Tommy Gun? GIVE ME MY TOMMY GUN!!!)
- Weapons other than the Revolver (which is now an ordinary handgun) have to reload? That's stupid. When I play Serious Sam I wanna hold down my left mouse button and never let go of it for nonstop bullet action.
- Not a real complain but...Egypt again? We had that in First Encounter FOR THE WHOLE GAME.
My list of positive things:
- Serious Sam gameplay
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
- No health regen bullshit
- No limited weapon capacity bullshit
- At least some of the old weapons are in there (double barrel shotgun, Rocket Launcher of Yellowness)
Please, Croteam. Don't fuck that up. Make Serious Sam colorful and more cartoony like the other games. With many stupid jokes from Sam.
Grey and brown is NOT the way to go D:

Why are you? It's not like we'll be able to escape our enemies, I think.
And hopefully the game will ship (on PC) with saturation and contrast controls, like SS:HD and everyone will enjoy the game however they want

Devolver keeps going on about how awesome something called the Sirian Mutilator is. You'll get some crazy guns, don't worry.Bjoern the Smexy said:

Ugh I want to go through snow cities, lush forests, etc like Second Encounter. The biggest problem with the first SS was that the entire game was brown :/. I don't mind the more realistic style but variety is the big killer for me.
I even liked SS2 because at least there were a lot of weird locations.

- shitty framerate
- looks like Serious Sam alright!
- guy playing was not bad
- CoD sprint, lol
- iron sights seem pretty damn useless
- just as hectic as previous games
- Day One

Iron sights are only to be resorted to when the enemies are off in the distance. However, the fact that you'll spend most of your combat time at close-mid range makes me wonder why this particular aiming method is included at all. Even in the cases where enemies are too far away the instinctive act is to simply run towards them with guns blazing. This is Serious Sam, after all.

Really not impressed, I enjoyed 1 and 2 but seriously the only improvements look so small
Is this XBLA or Retail? Cant seem to find any info at all
Enemies on screen count is laughable (from whats shown)
Graphics are really sub-par
Environments are empty
22nd Century Egypt looks like Egypt now (boring)
Sprint and ADS looks sloppy
Biggest Bullshot award goes to

I don't have a problem unless it is required to advance, for instance by having too much spread when not ADS.Orayn said:
Could've just taken out the sniper rifle but I see your point and if they would've just taken it away others would've complained I guess. If it's not required it ain't a big deal (to me) anyway - see above.Sciz said:

Eh they implemented iron sights....whooptie fucking doo.
Im no COD fan at all. I despise it. But the game still seem to feel and look like Serious Sam. So I am at lost at why people are bitching. Gamers are highly spoiled.

The iron sights look like they are implemented well, and the sprint THANK GOD for it. I remember finishing areas in the previous Sam games and having to slooooooowly trundle my way to the exit. I also remember dodging to be pretty ridiculously hard to pull off at times because he moved so slowly.
Reloading, however. Ehhhhhhhhhh....

This looks amazing, wow. This is Serious Sam. Especially from 5:37 forward.
One thing I don't like is that trees are indestructible. Second is items highlighting. No big deal, though. Other than that it looks awesome!
