Serious Sam 3

I don’t know if you guys have seen the press stuff for this. Fork Parker, ostensibly the CFO of Devolver Digital:

The Best Press Release Ever posted:

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.

[b] “Holy crap, I am going to make a boatload of cash off 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.”[/b]

I made my own Serious Sam 3 promo video and it is better than intercourse. http://youtu.be/MRrvZD_VImQ?hd=1

Has anyone found an easy way for dealing with the helicopters? I can’t seem to get a hit on them without being exposed to their fire and I’m at a level that I have to kill 2 without any real cover.

I preordered this way back when Steam was running a promo for it. I played maybe a half an hour over the weekend, but couldn’t tear myself away from Skyrim and then TOR enough to play it any more than that. I will say that even in the short time I played I got lost a couple of times. The large opening level really has only one path, but the thing is so spread out, I found it easy to get lost and without any sort of map or helpful arrow pointing the way, I did feel a little frustrated.

Any tips on the second boss? It destroys me.

I have purchased this from Get Games and they sent me an email with the activation key which steam is saying is invalid.

Steam says you can’t activate it on steam. Emailed both Steam and get Games but nothign so far, anyone have any thoughts?

If you own any of the SAM’s check out your steam page.

They’ve added Serious Sam Fusion.

Trying to bring all the SAM’s into the same game engine (64-bit, Vulkan, Multithreaded, 3D-sound!, +++).
Good stuff!

Everyone who owned a SAM gets a Fusion.(except for the taliban).
