Quick Look: Serious Sam: The Random Encounter

Super serious!

why so serious?

not serious enough

Seriously?

That name is awesome.

Superfly? Wrong hairstyle. More like Black Dynamite.

This is awesome. Very wink and nudge. Random Encounter... get it? lol Love it

@nohthink: No

Looks like fun!

Too M-many Quick Looks! *head explodes*

*Mr. Caffeine Bew Bew Bew Bew noise and wavy hands*

Why can't i find this on Steam? Where is it GAH!!!

Seriously excited about this.

Why does patrick keep calling his items "weapons"?

Seriously awesome pun hidden in this one.

Pretty interesting combat mechanic. Five bucks seems like the right price.

I don't care about Serious Sam at all, but this looks neat!

You say all those kamikazes are like a GIANT BOMB, Patrick? Every time a staff member says something like that and doesn't acknowledge it I feel like I'm watching for a Pepsi contest code or something.

Anyway, these ghetto Serious Sam games are such a neat way to generate some hype for the new, real game. I can't wait to co-op blast some hordes with a buddy.

Vlambeer game = day 1 purchase for me.

Game called "random encounter" has way too many random encounters.
 
Shocker.

All games companies should market their big games with neat games like this.

For Battlefield 3, I'd like a take on iCopter where you maneuver a mini-UAV strapped with C4 onto an M-COM crate, dodging tank shells and homing missiles on the way.

This quicklook kinda served as a prognosis for Ryan and Patrick's upcoming endurance run.

Good job Patrick.

VLAMBEER are my heroes!! They have very quickly become my favorite dev.

How about a Super Crate Box Endurance Run?? Callin it!

This looks better than DD.

What? Another crappy SS game that is nothing like the other and also looks like crap. Why?

The Second Encounter I thought was the peak. Then it fell apart, SS 2 just didn't have it in gameplay and suprisingly in the art.

I've been looking forward to this since I first saw gameplay footage. Before that, I assumed it was just a Final Fantasy 1 clone with Serious Sam sprites, which seemed neat but nowhere near as interesting as this.

whaaaaaaaaaa???

Website title drop!

I finally got why it's called The Random Encounter

What? Another crappy SS game that is nothing like the other and also looks like crap. Why?

This game looks amazing, seriously. What a brave, bold concept done to near-perfection.

Looks great! I will be picking this up for sure. Interests me much more than BFE itself.

A giant bomb, eh...? Anyway, game looks neat! I'd play it!

This is really weird but awesome, just like Double D was. I wonder what the third of these games will be like. A Serious Sam fighting game?

This is so awesome and weird :)

Sold by the clever name.  I'm simple.

This is so stupid, but so clever.

i am oddly interested in this game

Whoever came up with this is a god damn genius. It's so true that in normal SS you are just running backwards and deciding which enemy you need to kill first.

Ooh, pretty sprites

Interesting little game. Nice to see something left of field from Serious Sam.

Giant bombs. Weeeeoooeee.

That is actually kind of interesting

They did a pretty good job of turning Serious Sam into a turn based like game. Looks like a fun time waster.

"it's basically this giant bomb"

boom

This does actually look pretty cool. The encounter rate seems horrendous, but then I got the impression the game's made up of relatively small areas, so it makes more sense if that's the case. If I do get it, it'll be the first Serious Sam game I've ever played, oddly enough.
