While the title has been on the radar since November, Majesco has now confirmed that Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is headed to Xbox Live Arcade in addition to the PC. Previously relegated to the more nebulous "home console," the HD remake is officially coming to XBLA with some new features in toe. There is no release date mentioned, though the Steam version is currently listed for April 28. The game includes a new deathmatch mode along with co-op, capture the flag and survival modes. It also includes lots and lots of enemies.
For those interested in the PC version, Steam is currently offering pre-purchases on the game for $17.99, two bucks off the normal $19.99 price. Pre-orders will also get an extra multiplayer and co-op character: Ugh-zan, the boss of The First Encounter. Check out a new trailer after the break.
If you have an appreciation for over-the-top humor and stuff that is just so ridiculous it's amusing while still presenting a decent game, then serious sam is the greatest game of all time. I've never been so pissed while being so amused as while I was playing these games.
I've payed for it once before, I don't see why I would pay again for a high res version. These re-releases are great for people new to the series but not so much for people who have already played them.
You only played it once? The reason people buy these re-releases, like me, is because its a flange-tastic game, worthy of a title such as Game of the Decade.
''no story, reptitive gunplay, boring level design'' It's called SERIOUS SAM. The enemies have bombs for hands, no heads and still manage to scream. You can get a CANNON. The final boss is bigger than the Great Pyramid.
I think you were looking for the wrong things while you played it. The fun is just killing stupid monsters repeatedly.
