>Yes, there will be SSVR: The Second Encounter and Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE! >Yes, there will be The Talos Principle VR! Yes, Serious Sam 4 is still happening and our core team remains hard at work on this, while two much smaller VR teams will continue to grow and work on more VR projects. >No, we haven’t forgotten our “flat” games. We’re announcing Serious Sam Fusion 2017, a FREE update for all owners of Serious Sam games, both flat and VR versions. This update will be rolled out gradually, starting with The First Encounter, and then The Second Encounter and Serious Sam 3: BFE. >Serious Sam Fusion 2017 update will bring a common workshop for cross-game mods support, as well as enable multiplayer between “flat” and VR versions of games, among other things. So, if you have Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter and your friend has The First Encounter HD, you can connect and play coop or versus with one another – using Fusion 2017.

Josiah Adams

Jackson Morales
>VR

>Yes, Serious Sam 4 is still happening and our core team remains hard at work on this, while two much smaller VR teams will continue to grow and work on more VR projects. I can't wait to find out what it'll be like, it's been 6 years and they've worked on it for all that time, so you know they'll try to surpass 3.
Jacob Gomez
I just hope they paid attention to people's complaints and how Shadow Warrior 1-2 / NuDoom did things to carter old school shooters fans. I really want them to redeemn themselves of BFE
Robert Williams
Never understood why people hate on BFE, it was much better than nuDoom and especially new Shadow Warriors
Oliver Ward
BFE was great once you got past the first few levels though.
I just hope Serious Sam 4 will get more competent modders. Most Sam mods are fucking garbage
Tyler Bell
>reloading in a Serious Sam >Dogshit levels between the fun ones >that witch bitch which stops your movement >Helicopter enemy that totally sucks cock >Horrendous first chapters >Hitscanner enemies in open area
I agree, last segments were incredibly better, whole thing should have been like that.
I also wish great modders desu
Brandon Lopez
It was good, just not as good as TSE
Nicholas Ramirez
fucking based devs
James Peterson
Outside of Croteam, what other devs keep updating their old games? Running With Scissors is the only one I know
Leo Fisher
That's some seriously awesome shit they're doing there.
Andrew Reyes
I'm gonna play the shit out of all of them...love those games!
Cameron Williams
Which Serious Sam game had the best final level?
Owen Barnes
' Level; Grand Cathedral > Guardian of Time > Great Pyramid > Mental Institution
Theme: Mental Institution > Great Pyramid > Grand Cathedral > Guardian of Time
Discuss
Eli Butler
TSE, Grand Cathedral was great and has best music. Guardian of Time in BFE had a better boss fight, though.
Cooper Allen
BFE has a great theme in the final battle desu
Aaron Myers
Don't knock it until you try it. First Encounter in VR is the most fun I've had in a long time.
Benjamin Cooper
is this serious?
Xavier Young
based croteam
Lincoln Reyes
Very.
Daniel Carter
>common workshop for cross-game mods support
So what, mods for BFE will work for HD TFE/TSE or?
Jaxon Bennett
Hopefully it will mean that some TSE mods will work for BFE.
That Spas 12 mod for TSE is fucking god tier and I would love having it in BFE, though chances are it won't because fucking reload.
Michael Davis
I hope they do away with the new enemies from BFE and being back the color from TSE.
Kevin Russell
Yeah that's pretty much the single best mod I've seen. I don't think reloading would be a problem since there are already mods for that
Easton Williams
Well, they already did a test porting of SS3 on a motherfucking android phone and this was when Vulkan wasn't even announced.
Michael Morales
>VR players can co-op with regular players seriously cool they already supported vulkan with the talos principle so that was a given
Wyatt Cruz
VR actually works really well with Serious Sam.
James Watson
They're fucking magicians with their engine.
Grayson Allen
Croteam are optimization autist, every time I've purchased a Croteam game I've never had any problem with optimization.
Owen Cruz
>First and Second encounter HD get split screen I'm fucking diamonds.
