Here's How to Make Serious Sam 3: BFE Look Extra Apocalyptic

So pumped for this s***, motherf****ers!

The only two options should be Vivid and Noir. I feel sorry for the developer who had to waste his time adding in those other options.

@Meatsim: yes

Rich Knuckles needs to be banished from this dimension along with Mr Caffeine.

I like the Children of Men reference.

False advertising, there aren't a million colour scheme options, nore is spelled wrong and Michael Bay doesn't burst in from the wall with Will Smith and 1.2 Trillion explosions for Apocalyptic mode. /bitch

Just messing, but yea, that announcer needs to find a new job yesterday. Or atleast a new jokes writer.

Pretty good. Love the announcer. Spices things up for me.

Coughing blood? Is that a reference to The Road, by any chance?

I thought the same thing.

cringe worthy

Bright just needs more tactical flashlights, sunrays, and laser pointers.

Have to admit to liking a game studio that puts options like this in the game at launch.

They should totally have a trailer about the advanced performance options in the game to show that these guys are one of the last few developers to give a shit about their PC fanbase.

Next week he is going to make a video about how you can change the controls, including any key on the keyboard!

In all seriousness though, what was the point of this video and why is it on Giant Bomb? He was not funny. I do not think he could have picked a worse subject to try, and fail, to be funny about. The writing was especially poor. He acknowledged at the beginning of the video that he was saying "options" too much and then goes on to do it everywhere else with other phrases.

They should've done black and white with red only.

I was wondering why the game didn't look quite right. Vivid is definitely more in line with the previous SS games, and thus the way to go.

Rich Knuckles, I hate you.

Rich Knuckles is right, I did wish LA Noir had more rocket launchers.

Devolver Digital is the best publisher on the planet. Have you seen their CFO's twitter account? It's delightful.

@Lazyaza: Dunno if you have the PC version of GTA4 or not, but on the PC they do come with the option to increase color saturation and such, and actually can make GTA4 look a lot like the previous GTA games in terms of colors.

You damn Europeans need to shut up.

Croteam has probrably the best PR in the industry by far.

Oh and the game is amazing too :P

I thought the video was funny. The jokes were quick enough not to be annoying if they were bad (but most weren't) and the videos main point was still clear. Love Croteam for all the options.

Yeah, who hasn't played LA NOR, I mean nor films are so interesting to watch. I'm glad I can give SS3 a nor color scheme

I can't see using anything but vivid for that classic Serious Sam feel, but it's nice of them to include the options.

literally the most pointless video god that was a waist of time

@Knigge: I believe he was a man fairly popular years ago, a feller you may call a hip-hopper or a rap man. Either that or it's an old old wooden ship used by the Spanish to colonize America.

Is this guy Croatian?

Jeeze, did they hire Mr. Caffeine to do this?

No colours anymore I want them to turn...?

I think it's actually pretty cool that they've included something like this. I'm not sure that it really needed to be a Rich Knuckles trailer, but good on them though for writing jokes about colour correction though =|

I wish more games had a vivid option, I'm a sucker for bright and colourful games.

Also it's not "nor" it's "no-are".

Nvidia might, maybe have a reason to put out a video like this to show people how to work the control panel.

If a game developer feels the need to showcase their graphics options menu for lack of anything more interesting to tout, they've got other things to worry about.

So I see you didn't get the joke.

I guess not. I'm also not spending the $40 they're asking for this game, so hopefully that sense of satisfaction is enough for them.

vivid looks awesome :D

Some dude just talked to me about the brightness and contrast settings in a videogame for almost three minutes.

I lead a strange life.

If only more games had options like these, I could make Fear 2; a game that was way too colorful, more desaturated as is far more suiting of its bleak dark tone and stuff like GTA4 which was god damn horrifically brown and needed color desperately so a vivid setting would have done wonders.

I hate every thing about the announcer in this video

Vivid is what the game should look like normally.

This is truth.

This is as well.

Hit the tagline, Jeff.

Vivid seems right.

Ok.... doesn't make the game better.

Yeah I was just about to say that Vivid looks like what the old Sam games looked like palette-wise. Good thing there's the option I suppose.

What the fuck is "Nore?"

You have to give credit to Croteam for making a trailer about the options menu

Oh. It's meant to be ironic right?

The LA Noir ribbing was actually kind of funny.
