SS4 was announced in 2013. However it was delayed endlessly because Croteam took on other games. Talos, Scum, other SS VR stuff. Don't take SS4 summary from this video though. It was a review code before the 43GB (day one, or one day before release) patch. Croteam shot themselves in the foot with that. SS4 is doing 80% positive on Steam. Great looking game and great fun to play.

The french countryside in The Saboteur (2009) looked better.

They literally went to France took pictures and tried to make it as real-world accurate as possible. Which while impressive does not fit with the gameplay of Serious Sam which requires flat open arenas.

So you never played SS3? :)

That's insulting to Serious Sam 3.

Hard to think this came out from CroTeam

Like another person said, they're an indie studio trying to pass themselves off as a AAA studio

@Lord Skeletor 3 was awesome...

@Lord Skeletor 3 had great weapons, a supreme soundtrack, the best one liners and felt badass to play. The level design was hit or miss (people complain about the early game but its definitely levels 10 and 11 that bother me) and some monsters were bad like the witch bride and technopolips but for the most part in was a very good entry in the series.

@Lord Skeletor Sam 2 had some rough edges but was still good for the most part. 3 had some good parts.

They wanted realistic because it's easier to develop

@@jpetras16 And how does that make any sense from design wise???

@@finkamain1621 Requires less effort :)

@@jpetras16 But if the game is cartooney and not realistic, it's easier for PCs to run...........

Not necessarily. Cartoony looking games with high rez graphics are still gonna be resource intense I think the main point isn’t that it will be technically less demanding, but less demanding creativity/design wise. Fantasy weird ass games require all sorts of thinking, new designs and revisions to make sure everything flows well with each other to make a coherent world. If you’re using realistic design it’s ‘easier’ to pull off. They can just look at real life, other games and even the previous SS game for examples/assets, rather than creating entirely new things.

I remember when first part was totally new

@@CyrilViXP First one was great, it didn't really get with the times after that

well thats good to hear.

@@romanplays1 it’s just a video game series my dude, and a pretty bad one at that, no need to get violent

SS 2, for sure. SS the second encounter, that is true for some enemies. But SS1 was pretty much realistic. It has goofy moments, the rest is realistic.

@@kofola9145 Umm... the graphics and scenarios kinda are, but it had much more charisma and personality, things that the franchise lost since Serious Sam 3. Serious Sam 2 was a pile of dogshit too.

@DoomestosYT I dunno. I found some of SS 3 scenes kinda funny until I noticed it took itself too seriously and that the parts I found funny were actually meant to be serious. "Growing up"... well, that's like saying Max Payne 3 grew up since Max Payne 1/2 just because it became hyper-violent. In any case, I haven't played SS 4 yet but hooooly fuck does it look horrible with the direction it has taken. Combat looks kinda fun but all those characters and dialogue and upgrades and stuff... just no.

It was never cartoony. it was a throwback shooter, not fucking garbage Star Command cartoon show

1st/2nd Encounter were fine with no cinematics beyond showing Sam walking in or out of some room.

For the kind of game that heavily relies on heavy adrenal action, cinematics pretty much ruins everything and breaks the flow. Except for Serious Sam 2. The cinematics are welcoming and joke around more than covering an event taking place. Some of the cinematics just sums up what you're up against. Like the flying alcoholic witch that smashes into a train, which can also happen naturally while playing. ;)

@@muffinman2546 Personally I felt SS2 was heavily improved by playing in co-op, because the cutscenes don't play in co-op. I really like SS2, but I do hate the cutscenes.

@@todesziege Yeah. They are kinda nice the very first time but really irritating the second time and onwards. + Co-op actually let's you customize the difficulty to irrational extremes like 500% enemy strength and health multiplier but with infinite ammo. ;)

@@muffinman2546 There are lots of benefits with playing co-op -- it's the best way to enjoy Sam in general I'd say -- but I didn't go into anything else since the thread really only was about cutscenes.

you mean down

Yes... SERIOUSly up

That was a SERIOUSLY bad pun... ah damn it!!!!!

The game looks exactly like the "alpha test" back from 2018. It feels really rushed, and no core mechanic is completely finished. They seriously messed up on the terrain, it looks like a rejected COD game.

And only showing the best parts and talking about that legion thing, they're obviously aiming for that eazy pre-order ca$h

It seems like talos principle was a really good fluke or something.

@@DukeoftheAges well the OG serious Sam games are rock solid too and the remasters were done well. There's some questionable stuff in SS3 already thoogh. They've had a few good games but it's been many years since they released a totally new quality game outside of Talos Principal and some remasters.

Probably they knew they are making a stinker, but had to publish something to either fullfill contractual obligations or keep the trademark. Or some other such nonsense

@@lysytoszef nah, they have been developing this for 6 years. If that was the intention, they could had just developed a shitty mobile game. I literally can't come up with a hypothesis to explain this disaster. There was no plausible reason for this to happen. They had the technology. They had the experience. They had the time. The only thing I can think is that they blew the entire fortune they made with Talos Principle in hookers and coke.

@@SGtMarkIV Maybe. But it's as possible that they realized mid-way that the game will simply not work but instead of postponing/suspending/re-doing it they just crap it out cause they simply had to

And for a lower MSRP! Lol

The EDF deploys

Too much content, too little time. Too bad, if only they got more time.

Nice rhyme.

Or never released.

@Amadeus Eisenberg Evidently, the publisher just wanted money. That'll obviously be most (if not all) publishers' top priority, but when it's this bad, it's straight-up greed.

I personally like SS3, especially its DLC (Jewel of the nile), also played through TFE HD, TSE HD and SS2. (Didn't play the next encounter, but seems to be great as well). indeed TFE, TSE are the bests however SS3 is close up right there. SS2 is good, the cartoony stuff is way too much, however the rest of the game is great. SS4 has its moments but, this is the first game which actually felt like more of a cod, doom, nukem, mix than an actual serious sam game. (Next to the bugs and graphics problems, which are obviously problems). SS3 managed to capture the serious sam feeling at least. (Many people hate it for valid reasons, but it is still a serious sam game, the desert levels capture everything what SS is about imho). SS4 indeed needed more time, it could have been way much better. Also time to stop with the prequels and develop a sequel in which Mental can be seen finally at least. (If not fought)

i mean they said it: its a TRICK. idk why people expected something else lel

And it's not even anything new. Assuming that the background NPCs don't actually possess any AI (which seemed to be implied), numerous games have done this. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, for example, had dozens and dozens (if not hundreds) of NPCs on the Omaha Beach level. However, virtually all of them had no AI, and were just there to add to the atmosphere. It's not a tactic that we should need to rely on anymore; developers should be able to have tons of AI NPCs on screen simultaneously.

@@googlewolly Hell even first and second encounter had awe inspiring number of enemies on screen at a time. For what it was worth back in the day. And it was fabulous! Compared to that, this one looks more like a corridor shooter.

@@TG-ge1oh Agreed. I can't recall if I played the older ones, but I agree with your claim/sentiment. This game looks rushed.

They prefer to be called "un-lit"

You almost can't do a realistic art style as a small studio because it will end up looking like a game from 2007, the texturing and other things take too much time and money. They were fools to use this art style

@@elperronimo My take on this is because they used photogrammetry to scan in (like how RE7 and other RE Engine games use it). Just because you have the means, doesn't really ensure it'll suit your game.

Thing is, back when they did cartoony, that eas the only style available. And even so, it looked briliant and super realistic due to great lighting.

@@RQUKOfficial just look weapons like M4 modern tactical stuff not for sam. Sam used Thompson SMG in SSFE damn croteam why u made CoD from SS

Developers should just own their art style choice they started with just like how others do it (like gearbox with borderlands)

DNF was a masterpiece compared to this

And on top of that an asset flip. In a way, that is. They used old assets of an unreleased Doom game they made.

This was evident in Serious Sam BFE from 2011 too. They tried to make a modern military shooter so the first few hours of the game take place in some war-ravaged urban environments that were suitable for another COD MW game. Well ok they made the assets so why not use them, but these assets do not match with SS theme at all. Same with those massive open world areas that contain nothing.

A bad mistake to be on the bandwagon of AAA game

Ss was always like that that's why I never liked it.

Yeah.. I don't think I've ever really enjoyed their cinematics in their games. The gunplay and the enemies has always been the point of the series for me, while the cutscenes tended to feel quite boring to watch.

@@Dregomz02 I've been waiting for a good ss game since the second encounter. i thought i enjoyed serious sam 3 but it was just bland. and i was excited when serious sam 4 was announced..noww, I'm just disappointed

I get that it's a serious sam game and that's kinda their schtick to be big and bombastic but truthfully I don't need all that AAA fluff, I just want fun encounter design in a scale that is reachable within the developer's budget. Cutscenes aren't even necessary in a serious sam game in my opinion, just have a little text blurb about why you're there then let the player loose. If you need further lore, add little diary entries you can find in secret areas. Ambition is how the best video games are made, but if you don't have the means, work around limitations and polish what you _can_ do.

EDF and Dynasty Warriors say otherwise. Hell, Devil May Cry 5 is getting a new mode that fills the screen with enemies.

Two people have mentioned EDF and dynasty warriors. I'm going to add with: samurai warriors, warriors orochi, dawn of war, ninety nine nights and many more. It's not a struggle to put hundreds or thousands of enemies on a screen at one time whatsoever

This is the second health option in this game, first one being the health bars, second being crosshair colour and the third is not showing enemy health at all. I chose second because that’s how it was in TFE and TSE

or maybe that way they could get more time for the console versions. think about it, they get the stadia money to finish the game and once a new year of extra time has passed, the complete game is delivered to at least some people.

Fallout 76 doesnt really have an end though

If I'm being honest that's what most of this series looks like to someone like me who isn't actually familiar with it - a bunch of enemy assets plopped into example maps from a level creator kit. It's why I never bothered with them.

@@ViralOutbreak89 That's honestly kind of what the series is about. What made it a stellar series (the older titles) was the gunplay, the humor on the level of Duke, and the extremely varied locations. But the main selling point was each encounter was a huge arena where you fought tons of enemies. Even on the very first title. The encounters were a scaled back version of Doom slaughterfest wads. But instead of just placing 100x of one enemy on a map and calling it a day. The encounters with serious sam have always been balanced. Each unit brings a unique challenge so when you have them all in a group fighting them, it becomes an adrenaline fueled slaughterfest. Similar to PainKiller. As Painkiller was known for that as well. (But Pain killer took the theme and used gothic levels and enemy types, plus super natural powers instead of just pure gunplay.)

@@ViralOutbreak89 It is... Kinda. The first and second encounter had. a REALLY good level design, combined with music, sound design, humour... This game lacks everything that the other ones had. The previous title may seems like "Gmod arenas" but they were personalised, they had a soul, they had that Serious Sam feeling. The enemies were unique, you had to face each enemy in a single way (kinda like what Doom started doing recently), the game had a soul, an interesting gameplay and a immersive world. This title has none of that, so it literally is a G mod map filled with random enemies... Unfortunately. :(

Yeah, especially considering other studios are releasing full, complete games right now it is a bullshit excuse.

yeah i doubt covid had anything to do with like 50% of the game just not feeling well and not being done to release, they released it way too soon

@@smugplush It was only an excuse for maybe a couple months, at most. But other companies are pretty much acting perfectly normal now. That's why I don't consider it that much of a good excuse. I don't think the game would have been ready, Covid or not.

@@smugplush It's a lot more efficient to work from home if you are in the creative business. Have a quick skype call about the project, coordinate your efforts, and then do your part from the comfort of your sofa with your cat sitting on your lap. I can understand a lot of businesses going to shit from this whole thing, but I honestly can't imagine how game development could be made easier by working out of an office. That kind of thing made sense in the infant days of the internet, but now that you can send 100s of megabytes of data in a couple of minutes at worst, there's no reason for the creative types to shave and shower, commute and put on something that isn't a PJ or t-shirt and shorts. The Serious Sam franchise was always about low-budget, high-octane entertainment. If they can't deliver at least half of that, the flu isn't their biggest problem. After all the great games Croteam have created, the only valid excuse they have for this cock-up is: *"We done fxxked up."* Personally, I am not holding out any hope for a Serious Sam 2 2, so at this point, I'm willing to let it die. Sad, because I used to really love the series.

That's the problem, with the sucess of Doom they probably decided that their game needs upgradable weapons and skills too.

Maybe because they are a fucking indie company in Croatia and they worked on other useless projects like vr sam games and talks principle?

@@crouchjump5787 and second encounter. those two are the only great serious sam games. everything else...they just don't have that magic

If you haven't had the chance yet, you should try your best to get your hands onto the original Xbox version of Serious Sam. It's the best possible version you can play imo. First and second encounters combined, weapons from both strewn throughout all the levels, serious bombs, the best cartoon version of the artstyle, and added cutscenes that fit in pretty well

Honestly the overly cartoon style would be better than this overly realistic one if I had to choose

@@netherwolf3012 Indeed, "realistic" ones are plain and forgettable. Cartoonish graphics will be remembered for a long time and will age way, way better.

@@auroriasolaris Yeah, even if overdone. Especially now, with all the bland shooters it doesn't even take that much to really stand out. Not as bad as the late 2000 and early 2010 though.
