Until I tried TFE HD Multiplayer ("network play", Fusion calls it) and accidentally joined a random session, which by chance was starting at the very first level. So away I gone with Steam downloads just to have my frustations refreshed with the Survival mode again, well over across 8 or 9 SS's variants (SS TFE/HD, SS TSE/HD, SS Classic TFE/TSE, plus Fusion '17 versions). Of course he starts off with the n00b's dumb kit. Of course the player awakes on the shoes of a rookie. Of course that lasted no longer than a minute of two. Hundreds of enemies, a few military fellows, an apocalyptic setting. Until last night, after watching a YouTuber's first play of SS4. Specially when I first bought The First Encounter and tried its Survival mode lasting the first minute, most of the times.Īvid R6's Vegas 2 headshooter, never cared to touch any SS title. Being a Tom Clancy's Rainbow/Ghost Recon long, long time fan, as well as SWAT 3/4, besides all things Unreal Tournament's related, the concept of having hundreds of creatures to shoot at, having to switch weapons often so each species would have its own "today's special" in the middle of their ugly faces always kept me at bay. I was ALWAYS reluctant about Serious Sam series. Oh, those times.As you can see, this is NOT a review (otherwise it'd be posted as one, obviously), more of an appeal to judge SS4 for the series' own merits, kind of. Reminds me of the id staffer models in Quake III. Also, if you preorder you get a Fork Parker avatar for multiplayer, which proves that meta-gag has far more legs than anyone might have guessed: November 22 and a better-quality game it is, then. And we’ll probably add some more enemies to the hordes to blow your mind.” “The game is playing wonderfully and looks great so we are going through to balance the difficulty and fine tune the code to eliminate any technical issues at launch.

"The team wants to take a little extra time to make it perfect for Serious Sam fans worldwide,” said Davor Hunski, Chief Creative Guy at Croteam. Wonder what crappy reason they're going to fob us off with? So they can add more DRM? Because some suit at Microsoft told them to? Because they're in a dark alliance with an evil retail chain? Or just because they're cold, mean-hearted bastards?

You're not going to be playing this on October 18 after all. Betrayal! Oh, the wound! Why, why, why? The eve of shamelessly excessive manshooting with a retro flavour but a hypermodern look was almost upon us, and then they only go and move the release date of Serious Sam 3: BFE back by a month.
