It all makes sense!

But why does he hate running backwards

That, is a serious question

It wasn't even a question.

@@kaldo_kaldo r/whoosh

I laughed so hard at that part :D

The inverse of Crash Bandicoot.

Sam said it himself: I hate crates.

This made me give Serious Sam 3 another go - lo and behold the first crates appear around 2 seconds in, as soon as you walk out of the room you spawn in. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

@@Nohiro.3D Ya that sounds true

No crates, no capes!

To be honest, when I had a chance to play Serious Sam at a LAN party the complete lack of crates threw off my usual play style to the max in a GOOD way that's stuck with me all these years.

Seeing preorders with "year one season pass" makes me sick, i rather buy it with all dlc few years later for less than a half original price. Heck, here in Russia ubi was selling division 2 for 2$, and i heard it was 5$ in US, if i was day 1 player i would have been pissed...

Only entitled incel manbabies expect to be able to try a game out before spending $60 on it. /s

@@tartrazine5 wow, you're so fluent in the current buzzwords. I suppose we shouldn't be able try on a pair of shoes before we buy them?

actually you can return a steam game within a few hours after buying them, so you CAN actually try them out to see whether you like them.

That is true but sadly only on Steam. Consoles suffer.

I remember too !!! I was only 10 years old and my father had to go to the cashier with me so I could get it , as it was rated 16 , which means for people age 16 and up. :D Haha good times !!!

I remember it vividly as well. I had just bought a new computer when it came out, but i kept my old pentium 2 with voodoo 3 in it. And i remember i was shocked when serious sam could actually run on that old computer, and that i also could play it in single player coop with a friend, and with hundreds of enemies on the screen. It was sorcery tbh, i had no idea it could be done. And it was a blast playing it.

It's a mind blowing game.

I picked it up for a bargain price at a large general store. I had no idea what it was and had never heard of it before.

@@storerestore That sounds great, enjoy it and let us know if you like it! Happy fragging the hordes!

Some of the smaller studios do it on occasion. When Dear Esther Landmark Edition was released owners of the original got it for free. More often though you usually get a 50+% discount to a remake/remaster. Not so good, but it oftentimes sums up with seasonal/weekend sales, so you get like 70+% actual discount. There are some devs though, usually AAA or high-budget ones, who just spit right into you face with full price for that remaster (not even a remake with loads of added stuff, I mean, a Black Mesa style of remake deserves to be priced at it's $30-40 for the sheer community effort in development and the details added). The only kinda stuff that saves the situation is the abundance of pre-release trailers with actual gameplay, like DooM Eternal has, for example, and the fact that many of high-budget projects are parts of series where you sorta kinda may know what to expect, like CoD, Assassin's Creed and a few others.

Facts - and I feel like you reach the highest level of creativity when you are pushed to the extreme. It like you either sink or swim!

Dude...yeah you missed out, I'm so sorry lol I'm 38, and the mid-90's and early 2000's was really interesting. Lots of advances made, but seeing the games evolve was really cool. I started on Wolfenstein 3D, then went to Doom, then to Quake, Half-Life, etc. But demos and shareware were exceedingly common back then, especially in the 90's. My brother and I would occasionally get demos from somewhere, I think mostly from his subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly (EMG, a magazine) but it would sometimes include CD's or 3.5" floppy disks. Then I remember this one time we picked up this 2 CD set, called "1000 games in 1" (2 discs) and there were literally 1000 games on it, all shareware or demos from all over the place. Amazing time for PC's.

Lo so Ludo, lo so. È uno dei migliori.

@Bore96TheGaming mi guardo quanto erano sfigghi croteam

@Bore96TheGaming hehe

Pure ioooh :) Cmq ciao ludo :)

That's how it was done back in the day when daddy didn't pay for everything and google could add most of the knowledge. and people this day and age are looking everything up and playing copycat think they are ''CREATIVE''

@@michael2305 and publishers these days are turning away indie teams that are not working on either Unreal Engine or Unity because they think developing and maintaining a full game code base is too much effort for one team to handle. For some innovations, it is still the path of best end result.

So... Eastern Europe after the cold war?

@@KawaiianArgument ROFL lets keep my sex life out of this!

HAHAHAHAHHA i remember that line. It's when you find your 2nd weapon or something i think

George Daravigkas I think it's when you're finding the "secret crate bus".

I am refering to Serious Sam 2...

@@LeorioSusano ..Even though the OP talked about TSE?

Yeah nevermind. I was wrong either way. I thought he was saying the line when you found the first Shotgun on SS2 but he wasnt, i just checked it. I dont remember where i heard now but i am sure i have

I didn't know serious same existed until i played the talos principle and kept finding easter eggs referencing some sam "Serious" stoned dude. Got the hd remaster for less than a dollar i think.

Never late to play them. Play classic and HD, not just HD ones.

Nookie Nookie I agree, unfortunately the variable gravity doesn't work in the new engine, so there's still reason to play the original. For the time, it was a very impressive engine. Not just because of the enormous number of enemies that could be on screen with no slowdown, it just legit looked good.

@Sam A3 You may be surprised, but Sam has a huge stprytelling and lore potential.

@@irllcd13 both it and the Doom 2 engine are phenomenal engines. If you've ever watched some of the slaughter maps from Doom 2, it's mind-blowing how many monsters can be on the screen at the same time with zero slow down. Same with Serious Sam. A+ engines.

they care about customers/gamers in their homecountry too, where salaries are low and therefore people can hardly afford high-end gaming machines.

Yeah, Serious Sam is one of the most optimized games I have ever seen. It's Unreal. Pun intended.

Low end is the most people... and if you want everyone to play it... You need to build it also, and just a few people in a few rooms, not the latest hardware again.

@@wobblysauce There's no more common GPU architecture than Intel HD... ...sadly...

TSE options are insane, there are like 50 options at least to configure the game to run as best as possible (as long you took the time to tweak everything)

Well when I saw the trailer, it wasn't exactly mind blowing, but I felt safe about the future of the game, the series, and Croteam. They just need to make sure Damjan Mravunac writes their soundtrack, and that's a game many will love.

Yeah, but a trailer is only a trailer. And the gameplay trailers are only to showcase the power of the engine + it says that this is not the final version. But still, i am so hyped for the next serious sam! Especially when you are hanging out with friends and pass the controller around after dying.

I'm kind of sad that you don't have any replies on this Comment, even tho you look like a die hard SS fan.

@@FR4M3Sharma im kinda sad you got no comments on your reply to the original comment

Based!

here is my childhood CDs thgtr.com/wp-content/uploads/eski/graphic/20030706/images/cdler.jpg

Serious Sam 2 as well, all 3 games were awesome! I hope they continue the plotline with Mental

too bad 4 is yet another prequel, i mean i will play it but i would really want to see the final encounter with Mental

I spent hundreds of hours on the Starsiege:tribes demo. I can relate.

the problem with talos is that it had good story, but the puzzles didnt backed it up 15+hours of lazer connecting isnt really fun, even with adding many items that made things complicated. Portal's level felt new even in the later stages due to physics and moving rooms

As someone who only ever cared about the story in Fallout 3 and already believe that life is a shared dream/simulation by a single consciousness (because quantum mechanics proves that indirectly), I really dislike Talos. It's boring, unimaginative and forcibly drawn out, making me feel like I'm wasting time at the expense of the game artificially extending it's empty lifeless self. The game is incognito insulting throughout, terminals not excluded.

Say whatever you want about Talos, but that soundtrack is god-tier.

underrated wat. Overwhelmingly positive on steam, multiple awards and critical praise. noot underrated man

Biased against what?

That is a serious matter that we need to discuss Bleubleu81.

I’m not a game a developer, and I agree 100%.

Well crash Bandicoot was amazing.. soooo

now it's milliseconds to microtransactions

Yeah I was like "Wha?" He said it like going from 2d to 2.5d to 3d was as simple as changing your socks.

This is trivial, because vertical look feature in Duke3D is fake. Hovertank 3D, the game that preceded Wolf3D, had vertical camera wobble.

another game that evolved by simply adding features to Wolf3D-like engine is Chasm: The Rift

@@noop9k and that was a freakin awesome game!!!! i still remember for me it was the first game where i was able to shoot body parts off my enemies. so nice

Hazardeur Yeah, Impressed me too, but flat Wolf3D-like level design took some points off :) This is a bit insane- take improved 2.5 Wolf3D engine, add polygonal decorations and enemies that look more complex than Quake, but the game is still flat 2.5D and you can’t look up or down too high.

just like applying for a job

publishers weren't historically all that savvy and neither are HR departments, to be frank

@PeePee2000 You were using 3DFX cards up until 2015?

me and my neighbour played the first level from First Encounter, we accidentally found the secret room with the big headed fans, and the palm tree in the distance, since we noticed there were no barriers and we were (me in particular) curious how far you could go out, then the 4 Biomechs spawned

"BLING! Secret Sexy Bush has been found!" Had to look up if I remembered that right after posting. Sure enough. These games were so special they completely ingrained themselves in my memory, but to be fair I played a few times. Absolutely nostalgic.

2:36 he is really wrong, showing DooM footage was a mistake
