Thread: Serious Sam: First Encounter "HD" remake

Second Encounter HD confirmed for early 2010 release . Also Deathmatch and dedicated servers are being patched into First Encounter HD. I'll get the first game once it's offered in a weekend deal.

Philistine. Like gunny, I can't imagine not playing a game at least twice if I like it enough. Hell, I've even dragged out my copy of Bioshock to install as soon as Stalker is done, just to see if I'm still pissed off at it.

Did you even read the rest of the post, about making a new game instead of a remake?

I know, I'm just saying I wouldn't buy it for a console. But it's good that it's there for the people who don't mind playing it with a gamepad or don't have a capable PC. I bet it will be harder to complete than with mouse&keyboard though, and Serious Sam is already a pretty tough game.
