The original Serious Sam remains one of our most beloved Croatian-developed FPS games of all time. So, when we heard that Croteam was working on a third game in the franchise, we had to pay attention. Roman Ribaric, CEO of Croteam, wrote on the team's official site: "We have also recently started the development on two games, one of which is the next Serious Sam FPS game. Here, we are pretty close in signing the publishing deal."
The sequel will be powered by the team's in-development Serious Engine 3, which will probably render a three gazillion enemies on screen at once. That's about two gazillion more enemies than the first Serious Sam was able to render.

Draw - Earth is destroyed however, and the fabric of time itself is left damaged beyond repair.

I'll think of it as a consolation prize after losing Duke. :(

Three gazillion kamikaze bombers would present a problem.

GLEE! Sam was the king of overkill. All they have to do is give us cool weapons and an ungodly amount of enemies on screen to point them at, and I'll be happy!

Loved playing this co-op on PC. Hours of mindless fun.

Serious Sam is how a FPS is meant to be - it's a real test of skill and endurance.
Gears of War 2 seems child-like in comparison.

Is Serious Sam supposed to look like Trent Reznor or did Trent just happen to start looking like him?

Hopefully it's more like Serious Sam episodes 1 and 2 and not the misstep that was Serious Sam 2.

Serious Same 2 (actually that was a typo, but perhaps a Freudian Typo) was actually pretty good, though there was a bit of "where the eff am I supposed to go know?!" to it.
There's always room for a serious sam game - I'd like to see them do something really cool with all those next-gen shaders, and not have that "filthy" look of most games today.

I'm not much of a PC gamer but Serious Sam would be an instant buy from me considering the amount of fun I had with the first two killing hoards of aliens.

They supposedly announced it back in 2005. There were even some screens and all. http://www.nofrag.com/images/002d82.jpg
Anyway, I hope it's better than SS2.

Does anyone else think that these would be the ideal guys to pick up Duke Nukem Forever? The Serious Sam games have always been similar in humour, if not game design as a whole to Duke Nukem. And didn't they just say they started development of TWO games? Interesting, very interesting.

SQEEEE! Oh man, YES! Seems like many of us missed SS2, but I remember SS and SS:SE being just the coolest thing in the history of ever. SO distinctive and fun.

Damn I miss both Serious Sam Games - I cannot stand most FPS's today.
If you liked Serious try another cheapo Jap Monster Shooter called EDF 2017 - in the mold of StarShip Troopers and Giant Ants, Spiders, Alien Robots and humorous to boot. Spent 4 months getting to 100% 176 weapons and completion on all 53 levels at five degree's of difficulty without double controller cheating. Best $20 I've spent.
Been waiting for years for a Serious Sam follow-up on 360 and EDF 2017 helps but that old Elvis Sam and constant enemies and Monsters and vastness of play and size is far better than most FPS today.
