Wasn't there a serious sam mod that replaced all the textures with huge ass textures and essentially made this game HD?

Serious Sam was the shit back in the day, and it still holds pretty well IMO.

Halo fanboys take note: THIS is an FPS game. I still regularly play The Second Encounter.
 
God damn it, this got my hopes up that this was out. Only the PC version is, I want it for the 360.

The game is great, but some of those early levels (as seen in this QL) aren't the best.

The reticule looks like it reacts to how far the thing you're pointing at is. That kinda trips me out.
 
Anyway, as much as I love Serious Sam, I think Painkiller has given me my fill of point at this thing and shoot it gameplay. I might check this out though, if only because I still love how awesome(bad) Serious Sam's enemy designs are.

Man, so pumped for this game yet I have no money. :(
 
As a side note, I'm glad they highlighted the PC version - I can't imagine how horrible this game would be on consoles. A PC game through and through.

Looks great!  I am drowning in great games right now, so this one has to wait, but I am glad to see it is the awesome of the original mixed with Steam support and better graphics... that's all I wanted.

I didn't like Doom 3. This was the true inheritor of the Doom II crown. Man, I played the poop outta this game at the time.

I remember my Serious Sam LAN parties back in the day. Such great memories. I'm kinda surprised Jeff didn't use the knife on anyone. If I remember correctly, it was a one hit kill on most enemies. One at least being those jumping skeleton guys.
