Serious Sam 2!

Funny how developers seem to shoot themselves in the foot by releasing demos like that.

It's so-so, I like the feel of the weapons though.

Definately a better demo of the game, but there are still some things that I'll need to get used to:

1. Sam's slower movement. In the other games he's pretty much running all the time, now it's only a jog at best. It makes things more difficult but the gameplay feels slower because of this.
2. The audio. Wow, these recordings sound horrible. Sam's voice is really distorted all the time, and in this demo, it felt like some of the sounds were missing entirely (i.e. the Kamikaze screams). The weapons seem muted too. Where's the punch that comes from firing a shotgun or shooting off a cannon? Anyone else with these problems?
3. Levels that just end abruptly (although this is probably only beacuse it's a demo version).
4. Annoying cutscenes. The first cutscene of the new level was painfully bad. And I also had to watch the last cutscene again because I didn't get the "joke" the first time. The middle cutscene though, was awsome.


It would appear that most of the games shortcomings stem from the audio department. If the recordings were a lot better then I would have purchased this game already. I'm a huge fan of the series too.

I'll have to play this demo again at home, on the better PC to get a better read on this, but it's unfortunate that so far this game has been underwhelming.

About the sound. Im getting most of the sound you mentioned. Dunno what the problem is.

I will say tho, the cutscenes are horrible.

The missing sounds are probably from me using headphones to play the demo. Which makes sense because they're not of great quality. :frog:


I hope the cutscenes will improve once we understand the plot arc. From what I can gather so far: Sam made it to Mental's dimension and is searching for him on the different planets in the system. How the big-headed, high-pitched voice people factor in, I don't know...

I thought this game had already come out

 

[bam23]

It did.

I miss those bulls.

Played the original demo, and was bored, bored, bored. Only played it for a few minutes, and it is not a patch on the first game - it's lost the fun, there was no humour, and I was just so bored :dozey:

For anyone in the UK, Play (UK) are doin it for £17.99 (that includes delivery, as Play customers will know ), that makes it a more tempting buy...
