Serious Sam II officially announced

[NikolaX]

2K Games (publishing label of Take 2) today officially announced Serious Sam II, the sequel to popular arcade first person shooter. Serious Sam II will be released for PC and Xbox in fall 2005, and will be showcased at 2K Games' booth at this year's E3 Expo. Look for the first details on the game in the June issue of Computer Games Magazine, featuring Serious Sam II as the cover story, on newsstands in early May.

"Our second generation Serious Engine allows us to create characters with over 100 times more detail than the last game," added Roman Ribaric, CEO of Croteam Ltd, developers of Serious Sam II. "This has allowed us to create huge, lush environments and even crazier enemies than before, without having to scale back the gameplay in any way. Gamers can rest assured that with the capabilities of our new engine, we're not only going to match the record we set with the first Serious Sam for the most enemies on screen at one time, we're going to surpass it."

Hmm they released a tech demo of a new engine last year, I wonder if they have changed anything

Hey come on, it was a fun mindless shooter like painkiller

I loved serious sam. Great co-op fun. I saw the tech demo year ago, it looked really good. Cant wait to blast away hundreds of more headless kamakazies.

Serious Same 1,2 was great part 2 being better.

But Painkiller was a classic. The weapons music environment was just great.

there were things without heads that were constantly screaming.....

all you had to do was backpedal while a whole bunch of stuff came charging at you, then you had to shoot each thing like 5 times.

little too mindless for me

WTF, I thought serious sam the second encounter was the second game. What the hell is going on, someone please clue me in.

I heard that the game was taking too long to make, so they cut the first game up into two parts. There was supposed to be a third part, but it looks like they're just cutting right to Serious Sam II instead.


...I think. :rolling:

Last level of The Second Encounter, Co-op, infinite ammo & all weapons, and infinite respawns, hardest difficulty.

Good, mindless fun.
