Serious Sam 3 Announced

This isnt as good as the 1st 2 games. There is a lot of bugs as well (may have been fixed by now) the main one i got was level 5 the mouse just kept spinning and spinning. I reset, reloaded, uninstalled reinstalled and even skipped the level using cheat but no still got the mouse spin of death!

Its a throw back game but to be honest there is a reason why its a "throw back" as i think its dated now. Bit of fun while it lasted i guess.
 
Well, I finally started playing this. I've mainly been trying to crack the survival :)

I'm usually pretty good at these games, but I just can't manage to get the gold medal on Death Canyon... Google says 6 mins for the gold medal, but the best I've managed is 5:56 (I've had three or four attempts go past 5:50, but that second big wave of warebulls and Khnum just gets me when I have no cannon ammo left!). Normally I'd do a Leroy Jenkins to run out the last 30 seconds, but the warebulls are just too fast... Stand and fight seems to be the only option.

Very addictive stuff though!
 
Just got this in the sale for £8.99, the co-op in it is beautiful. I don't even want to know how insane it is with the full 16 players.
Made a vid of me and some mates on the co-op.
 
Anyone else getting the stuttering problem?

I have an i5 @4.6 and 5850, FPS is at 30+FPS constantly and CPU at 20% but it stutters all the time :(

Loving the game but it's getting on my nerves!
 
This game gets better and better.

Been playing with mates through co-op last few nights and it is AWESOME.

It pokes fun at the current FPS genre in a way which is hilarious in the earlier levels. Anyone who says "this game is not Sam" just has not played it long enough to get the joke.

There are times my jaw drops and I am laughing like a girl at all the carnage. Also, the weapon pacing seems to be perfect.

Croteam have done a fantastic job with the Serious Sam engine 3.5, it more than gets the job done.

The soundtrack is fantastic too.

All hail the new king :)

It's supposed to scale pretty well for lower cards. Do you at least meet the minimum specs?

This is my probably my favourite game of 2011 - released just in time. I got it at £15, just before learning there's been an £8.50 deal, and was giutted. but now I'm nearing the end of the campaign on Easy (I know, what a wimp), and looking forward to replaying it on a higher level while looking for secrets, so I've definitely got my money's worth.

The comments in this thread make me want to get this, but then the graphical requirements worry me. My PC is not top spec any more.

Minimum
Graphics: nVidia GeForce 7800/7900/8600 series, ATI/AMD Radeon HD2600/3600

Recommended
Graphics: nVidia GeForce 480/580 GTX, ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5870/6970

I think they are just honest regarding their "recommended" spec unlike almost everybody else in the industry. Recommended being to get a premium experience.

I game on a Radeon 4850 and is fine :)

rubbish, the game has no faults at all, it runs beautifully, but it is quite hard to play, you'll get killed loads of times in the last 2 levels.

it's wave after wave of AI..... Hundreds and Hundreds to kill all at once, the last level is the most intense shooting that i've ever done....

the final boss? can you remember how hard it was to kill Crawmerax from Borderlands ! ha ha ha, well be prepared, be very prepared!

yea SERIOUS SAM takes the **** out of other games, there's quite a few references and quite right too, because this game is miles harder than any other shooter, even on Tourist mode!

it's one drawback :- if you're feeling tired, then it has far too many AI to kill, it can drive you crazy, especially the ``screaming headless Kamikazes`` and the skeletons. i've never seen a game spawning so many enemies at once.

Duke Nukem ?...... that's crap compared to this, this is the best balls out shooter of the whole year !

i'd never even played a SS game before this, but now i feel like a die hard fan, i've downloaded their other games off steam, the games have a strong ``iconic cult `` feel to them, and the earlier games are quite odd and whacky, he walks into phone boxes and talks to himself from his other games, it's like Doctor WHO, very bloody odd and very hard to describe too !

LOL

Awesome game engine design, just jaw dropping when it all kicks off.

the skies look real to me, in fact they look like enhanced photos, the maps look about as good as FAR CRY 2, so they're good enough... the sunlight is blinding, the guns are great as are their effects too.

but SERIOUS SAM HD 1st and 2nd encounters look great too, these are definitely way better than Duke and almost as good as this latest game.

i'm surprised that i've never noticed these games before, but they're poorly marketed and the screenshots dont do them justice, but i do have to say that these games are only really for die hard shooters, dont get it if you're an RPG fan, because i've never sworn so much at a game in my life, on the last two levels; even on the easiest mode, i must have died about 80 times ha ha!

you literally scream with terror when you see all the AI comming down the canyon after you, it's like a tidal wave of death ! and this happens time and time again, after ever ammo drop, it totally exhausts you !

i had a ``fan mod`` for mass spawning with DOOM 3, but nothing like this.
