New Serious Sam HD trailer is anything but serious

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 9th 2009 at 8:30PM }

If you were to ask us to what sort of modes we expected to see in Serious Sam HD, "Super Happy Fun Time Mode" wouldn't even be on the list. Much like the first time you heard the bewildered Mortal Kombat announcer utter the word "Friendship," the video above is likely to fill you with unexpected glee. Don't be surprised if you emit giggles, chuckles or maybe even a guffaw or two. Of course, we still have to wait and see if Serious Sam's punishing gameplay has withstood the test of time.

For now, just enjoy the video.

Amazing, must have this game.

Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Oct 9th 2009 8:34PM

I picked this song just for you Spartan.

Your Pal,

If only all men were princes like you...

tygerr_nitemare @ Oct 9th 2009 8:40PM

You fucking shoot flowers, lollipops, and pumpkins at monsters?

WANT.

Frostblade10 @ Oct 9th 2009 8:43PM

I think they are actually bleeding those happy things.

You forgot candy canes, and dont try to pass candy canes as "lollipops", Buster.

iHavepants {SteamPSN: Arkanti} @ Oct 10th 2009 2:11AM

I'd rather Valve did this to Australian Left4Dead 2 rather then simply removing gore. That would be almost as good while at the same time being a big fuck you to the OFLC.

OWENR22 @ Oct 9th 2009 8:42PM

Stop teasing us, Croteam. When the hell is this game coming out?

Einhanderkiller @ Oct 9th 2009 9:02PM

Last I heard, early October 2009 for Xbox 360, soon after for PC.

Alex @ Oct 10th 2009 9:38AM

I check the website almost daily, and even have the page that says 'Coming Soon' clipped to my dashboard...

Shagittarius @ Oct 9th 2009 8:48PM

What an annoying song. I really can't see buying this since I already have the original.

Rawg @ Oct 9th 2009 8:54PM

This is a week old at least?
Does look cool though it'll be nice to relive the original.

Marco le Polo @ Oct 9th 2009 8:55PM

I wish I could enjoy the

silence?

That's a great song.

Shadow Hog @ Oct 9th 2009 8:55PM

So basically, it's TF2's silly gibs mode. But with the usual Serious Sam twist. Cool!

As usual, this remains the Pasgetti's killer app.

The Novemberist @ Oct 9th 2009 9:23PM

No...Basically it's Serious Sam. They did it in this game way before TF2 did it.

Shadow Hog @ Oct 9th 2009 9:31PM

Since when did Serious Sam have a silly gibs mode? I was never aware of that.

Adeese @ Oct 9th 2009 11:02PM

I'm pretty sure that if you turned the gore all the way down, it would turn cause all of the enemies to bleed flowers, or something like that.

RiccochetJ @ Oct 10th 2009 12:07AM

On the XBox version the Gore setting had 'Hippie Mode' which spurt out a bunch of flowers if I recall correctly...

All I care about though is that they keep the same music from the XBox version (not sure if it's the same music from the PC). I still feel damn heroic when that music is blaring and all hell is breaking loose around me. My favorite is the Jingle Bells song from episode 2. I was grinning ear to ear listening to that.

sleepypersons @ Oct 9th 2009 8:56PM

Really doesn't look like they did anything other then upgrade the graphics.
I have to say that I won't be buying this I will stick with the original because of that.

MDV @ Oct 9th 2009 8:58PM

I seem to remember this being in the original PC game already.

dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Oct 10th 2009 2:14AM

Yup, it's been there since the very first.

Einhanderkiller @ Oct 9th 2009 9:00PM

Krundle.

Deadpool @ Oct 9th 2009 9:01PM

Wow! Was game made just for me? I see that stuff all the time! 0_0

Obie @ Oct 9th 2009 9:02PM

Heh, you guys were right, that did make me smile.

Silicon Siren @ Oct 9th 2009 9:32PM

Haha WOW, this has been on gametrailers in HD for good while now, like two weeks maybe?

SAM I AM @ Oct 9th 2009 9:50PM

Oh hail internet sage! We fall to our knees at the sight of your awesome knowledge of, internet!

BovineDeath @ Oct 9th 2009 10:25PM

Is this the version being submitted to the Australian classification board? I think they've just done the same thing with L4D2...

Mr.ESC @ Oct 9th 2009 9:44PM

It Is like playing with the Grunt birthday skull active,cool.

Stevetrop @ Oct 9th 2009 9:55PM

Serious Sam is serious business.

Rainbows, lollipops, pumpkins, happiness, and glee are unacceptable.

Asmerom (PSN: neon6plz) @ Oct 9th 2009 10:11PM

Most violent game without blood ever?

Smoke_me_a_Kipper @ Oct 9th 2009 11:13PM

I think this game gives cavities. Remember to floss and brush after playing.

snakegriffin @ Oct 9th 2009 11:20PM

Can. Not. Wait.

Tracy @ Oct 10th 2009 12:52AM

"SUPER HAPPY FUN TIME!!!!!"

PhydeWice @ Oct 10th 2009 1:16AM

They took the Halo 3 Grunt Birthday Party Skull and kicked it into overdrive. DO WANT!!!

shrecknet @ Oct 10th 2009 1:27AM

Ah, so this is the Australian version of Left 4 Dead 2?

Alex @ Oct 10th 2009 5:39AM

Ahahahahaha awesome call!

xetuseer @ Oct 10th 2009 2:35AM

love serious sam! you spend so much time running backwards they should make you play the game in reverse.

Eggy @ Oct 10th 2009 5:21AM

I'll just install Serious Sam again if I want to play it. Not going to fork out money for what is basicly the same game.

MonKENy @ Oct 10th 2009 12:19PM

this is an XBLA game or a full disc release?

CAMEL CARCASS @ Oct 11th 2009 5:56AM

XBLA

Terbert @ Oct 10th 2009 2:43PM

It's nice to see that some games still have a sense of humour, even if it is just an update of an old game. The REALISM IS GOD crowd far outweigh fun developers nowadays and it's getting pretty boring. This and the darkest of days trailer are the only trailers that made me actually want to buy the game in recent memory.

SHFTS Fan @ Oct 10th 2009 4:12PM

Those bastards totally got the name for this mode from PAX when they met two of the guys from the SuperHappyFuntimeShow for a press interview. Those guys at SHFTS should sue.

marklar @ Oct 13th 2009 1:06PM

or they just copied South Park's "Super Phun Thyme"

fuzzynyanko @ Oct 10th 2009 6:56PM

There was just something about that trailer that makes me want to play that game, and I'm not that into FPS games

CAMEL CARCASS @ Oct 11th 2009 5:47AM

Any advancement on the release date further than 'fall' yet?

MonKENy @ Oct 11th 2009 12:39PM

sweetness

Nutsy @ Oct 12th 2009 3:31PM

Im probebly wrong but isnt the game made in germany?

I think this vid was made to take the piss out of the recent law changes regarding violent games :p
