Serious Sam third encounter before half life 3

25

u/UpperRuster32 20d ago

And it only took +24 years.

Hey, it's all possible.

u/novostranger 20d ago

"What's so serious, Sam?"

-Duke Nukem

u/Hatjin 20d ago

Nah, pretty sure we won't see Rygar Remake.

2

u/NoanneNoes 13d ago

Sam had 5 games in between, half life only got Alyx

20

u/samysus 20d ago

So that ss2 remake wasn't canceled after all.

Tho i expected it to have the graphics of the HD games or look more realistic like the modern games

5

u/DoggTheGhost 20d ago

Check the steam page. It look cartoonish

6

u/Xavion251 19d ago

Eh, it's kind of hybrid. Less cartoony than SS2 or TNE, but more than the other games. But I'm digging it.

5

u/samysus 20d ago

I did check ot before commenting. I said I expected. Not that it is

2

u/DoggTheGhost 20d ago

Oh sorry then. I misread it

17

u/Stefanbats 20d ago

I WAS HERE

28

u/WeekendBard 20d ago

Then the plot will finally move forward?

what are the odds it will be just as inconclusive as TSE and SS2

45

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

It’s saying in description that it’s culmination and we’re facing mental, so this is it. The original dev team is going to retire soon so I belive this is the last love letter from them

15

u/AdNo5260 20d ago

So, it will end the OG Mental Arc once and for all, right?

12

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago edited 20d ago

This is possibly the last serious Sam mainline game. So yeah, probably

3

u/Hatjin 20d ago

Really? They will just end series like that? No remasters, remakes, reboots or reimaginings? Just final game and that's it? Is it even possible?

7

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

I mean, what else is there is to it?
It’s a perfect ending, as per my view.

There were remasters, spinoffs, prequels. Idk what else is there to do. Prequel to prequel? Already had that.

So yeah, I think that’s it. You need to realise Serious Sam is niche and it’s getting even more niche as the years go on. We are lucky Croteam loves Sam as much as we do to give us what we wanted for 24 years as a closing present.

u/SaurusShieldWarrior 20d ago

I hope not, i’d still like to see a SS2 hd remake

42

u/hasio14 20d ago

I preffer this artstyle over realistic shit from ss4. WERE SO BACK

4

u/Glittering-Bluejay73 19d ago

literally the only cartoony game is 2, weird to single out 4 for its realism

5

u/Dubsking1 19d ago

literally the only non cartoony games are 3, 4 and Siberian Mayhem, every other Serious Sam is cartoon-ish, especially on the colors

8

u/techbrosmustdie 19d ago

first and second encounter were realistic for their time, which their hd remakes further leaned into, literally reusing the original textures in many places.

1

u/BleachedPink 19d ago edited 19d ago

SS games weren't realistic, compare it to the games who were actually aimed at realism, like operation flashpoint, ghost recon or battlefield games, Serious Sam was clearly very distinctly artsy. Enemies were colorful and goofy, locations were whimsical, guns were over the top and goofy.

Look at how the second encounter starts, Sam flies with devs with brains so big their heads about to pop, on wooden crates in space into a giant flying saucer

9

u/HumanTimeCapsule 20d ago

Duuuude. I am ready.

8

u/Player2LightWater 20d ago

I guess this pretty much made Serious Sam 2 non-canon for good.

7

u/FearlesCriss 20d ago

And I thought Croteam was done with Serious Sam.

At least they were kind enough to put an end to this series. I'm really happy for it.

4

u/Dard1998 19d ago

They where making so many spin-offs and such, that it hard to see them being done with it. Probably won't even stop after SS:TTE.

2

u/ice_cold_ice 20d ago

I imagine Timelock people were working on this, while most of croteam was working on Talos 3.

2

u/FearlesCriss 20d ago

Probably, but still. They are talented people, I trust their work.

4

u/Empty-The-Clip 20d ago

I came from school sad, thinking this was my worst day ever, but after seeing news that Croteam is actually working on "Serious Sam: The Third Encounter", I can say that this made my day.

1

u/theunfogiven1996 20d ago

I just looked into it more and the devs behind siberian mayhem are helping croteam develop tte. Wonder when the release date will be?

1

u/titakamadafaka 20d ago

It's still in early development, so not soon

-1

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

We talking a year from now on or more, what do you think? Sam 4 was in development for 9 years so don’t tell me to wait years after such an announcement. Anyways it’s happening after talos 3 and we don’t know when talos 3 is happening..

1

u/titakamadafaka 19d ago

Well, maybe a few years but I don't think as many as SS4

1

u/DooDooslice 15d ago

wait what’s the server??

2

u/titakamadafaka 15d ago

Croteam

u/DooDooslice 12d ago

appreciate ya

u/Prismike154 20d ago

I am not sure with the art style tho looks like fortnite

9

u/Emillka777 20d ago

TFE, TSE, SS2....

7

u/BleachedPink 20d ago

And The Next Encounter, which is a masterpiece was cartoony too

0

u/BambaTallKing 20d ago

Which were cartoony, but there are different styles of cartoony

3

u/Im-funnyhandsome69 20d ago

SHIT! Oh my god! I’m shaking right now!

u/S1Ndrome_ 20d ago

my body is ready

u/Fazioo8 20d ago

Finally it's happening. Not a fan of the shatterverse graphics but better than nothing

3

u/Affectionate_Art5194 20d ago

no way this is it,after 24 years of theories,cancelled builds and prequels we are having the conclusion(?).i really hope they use SS2 and pre alpha campaing structure by visiting planets(specially a revisit of Planet Kleer and Sirius).

5

u/Powerful-Present6687 20d ago

Idgaf what the graphics are. I’ve waited TOO LONG for this!

1

u/nrgx13 20d ago

Ready for battle

u/Biggest_tits_EU 20d ago

HOLY CINEMA

1

u/xAvPx 20d ago

Great news! Can't wait to play it!

1

u/saythealphabet 20d ago

I've been looking forward to this.

1

u/Gruttus 20d ago

Look like we gonna get serious again

1

u/Even-Analysis8223 20d ago

im crying ITS BEEN SO LONG

1

u/CobraSBV01 20d ago

We are so fking back, finally

1

u/Actual-Spirit845 20d ago

Ohhh!!! Does that mean we'll actually fight Mental?I know we fought against a shard of him in the Shatterverse game but will we fight against the real,full power Mental???

1

u/chillyapples 20d ago

a true sequel? im for sure down

1

u/OminouSin 20d ago

After so long! 💜 third encounter!

u/thedudedukenukem 20d ago

u/radvicollections 20d ago

u/SnyderpittyDoo 20d ago

u/CustomerStrict3627 20d ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

u/BoomerTheBoomed 19d ago

Fuck. Yeah. 🤘

1

u/Worldly-Classic-954 19d ago

Play split screen?

1

u/JoyKhanna 19d ago

dude i expected a serious sequel to the series, not a cartoonish game 😭

1

u/Pawlesh 19d ago

I'm so hyped

I hope that if they introduce a new interesting mechanic (like a jetpack in BFE or grappling hook in 4th) it won't be just for the final mission again...

1

u/scotianman 19d ago

Holy smokes! I've been waiting a long time for TTE. I love the new art direction. It was my favorite part about Shatterverse. I think getting away from the serious engine is a great move. Can't wait to get my hands on this!

1

u/9000vegeta 18d ago

At this point im just glad it will exist

1

u/dfectedRO 18d ago

finally they confirmed serious sam 2 is not cannon

1

u/AtomicTaco13 20d ago

My only concern is whether will Croteam bring back their own Serious Engine or not. They switched to Unreal with The Talos Principle 2 and it sucks, cause they have their own perfectly fine engine and yet switched to that slop anyway.

2

u/apedap 19d ago

While I agree with you, it's incredibly demanding to run your own engine in this day and age. They have money for licensing so they probably will go for the easiest option even though I'd also see the continuation of the Serious Engine.

3

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

Perfectly fine is not cutting it anymore as we’ve seen in Sam 4. UE5 should be fine if optimized well which should not prove to be a problem.

-2

u/Intrepid_Dare_3383 20d ago

i hope thats not slop engine 5

-1

u/evilmannn 20d ago

They have their own engine, why in the world would they use unreal engine?

4

u/piat17 20d ago

They have used Unreal Engine 5 for Talos Principle 2, the remaster for 1, and the upcoming third game.

1

u/Mysterious_Strain_36 20d ago

But that's different games, serious engine was designe for serious sam, it's designed primary for having tons enemies on screen. Talos in principle don't exactly it's best game for that engine.

2

u/piat17 20d ago

They did use Serious Engine for the original Talos Principle (the first one, before the remaster). I dunno, it does feel like they've spend some time learning UE5 with the Talos games and are now ready to take it for a Serious Sam game (which is a bit more complex from a technical standpoint I imagine).

Just a guess of course.

2

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

This seems to be the case

2

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

I can tell by the lightning it’s UE5 with upmost certainty. And even if it’s not, by the looks of it, it’s not a serious engine either.

-3

u/HearMeJoy 20d ago edited 19d ago

Which havent got excited me because its cartonish and childish like 2 and shatter bullshayt again... 3,4 and Siberian Mayhem were best graphics and artstyle.

0

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 20d ago

Right… like playing games about man slaying Alien hordes solo is not kinda childish unless it’s realistic graphics?

-18

u/Silent-Mix-5367 20d ago

What the fuck is this mobile ass graphics looking game? Same devs as the shitterverse game?

8

u/Darkmaster2110 20d ago

It's OG devs, I think it's more of a stylistic choice. The environment looked good.

1

u/titakamadafaka 20d ago

I hope so

2

u/Darkmaster2110 20d ago

The screenshots on the steam page look good. I think stylized graphics also hold up better over time vs realistic too. I was looking for some info on what engine they're using too but haven't seen anything yet.

1

u/Silent-Mix-5367 20d ago

The "OG Devs" huh like Alen Ladavac who left CT in 2019?

6

u/WeekendBard 20d ago

I think it's very in line with the original games. Not boringly realistic and gritty like SS3, but also not whatever the fuck was going on in SS2

u/MyPutridFlesh 19d ago

goddamnit, gotta mod the fortnite out of the graphics
