This is one seriously cool 3D engine

[OuTpaTienT]

This game is pretty awesome. Yeah, ok, they're gonna have to do something about the name, SERIOUS SAM. That's kinda corny. But this game is cool. And the levels are huge, no I mean H U G E ! The 3D engine that drives this game really rocks.

After you install it, start it up but don't jump right into a game...instead just let it run through the fly-by scenes...VERY impressive stuff.

Oh yeah, don't wanna forget the link:

You're right about it looking corny. Plus, the 45MB download for the test has scared me off.

Post some screenshots if you can.

i like the looks of it, dusted of get-right, and braved the download. i do so love these off the wall games. cant wait to play

[Brydon]

Well I agree with you that the graphics are really cool and it a cool intro from start to finish http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif.

[waferdog]

COuldn't get the game to work for me. Guess I'll have to fill out a bug report and send it in.

[OuTpaTienT]

There's plenty of screenshots at the site. And come'on, 45mb? That's nothing. Daikatana was 102mb and that royally sucked!

I downloaded it, the game is quite **** (a bit too dull, shoot guy here, shoot guy there and push a couple of buttons), but it is only a (tech)demo offcourse... The graphics are nice though. I like the detailed textures (and they even work, unlike UT's detailed textures they look **** on my TNT2U). But what caught my eye most of all was that great looking lense-flare. Man, although absolutely unrealistic, I really like those in games http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

For me, I felt it absolutely sucked.

But the intro was real cool. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

This is a fun game! The graphics are great and the comic style monsters are way too funny, I cant get enough of the screaming headless suicide bombers and the charging rhino/sabertooth things Hahaha....... And the Name suits the game too lets get Serious!

[OuTpaTienT]

I would say it certainly is fun. Kinda reminds me of Doom.

And those that didn't like that game, I remind you that it IS a "shooter". If you have trouble with that concept, it means you run around and shoot things. If you're looking for more of an intellectual challenge then go play a game of Chess.

i liked it alot i hope they make a real game out of it soon. i especially liked the liquid silver morphing doodad in the upside down water room. way too cool

[cyclone2]

They are looking at Q1 2001 for release date

[AuraEdge]

I gave it a shot...real neat engine...wow stages are HUGE! I was diggin the part where your running like crazy around the ankh shaped pool with the obelisk in the middle, running to the otherside to get the minigun so u can get rid of them pesky harpy things (they were never identified in the menu thing, but every other monster was, must be a bug or sumthin they left out).
There isnt much depth to the demo, but the engine is sweet....the level size is incredible! and no load screens for the most part.

[ck42866]

Well **** Outpatient, I just didn't like the game because it was BORING. But I LOVE Quake 1, 2 and 3 as well as Unreal and UT. So I know what SHOOTER games are and I CHALLENGE you to BEAT me at UT. Anyway, http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif And the engine is cool and very demanding. Thats why I like the beginning flyby. But other than that, well you know what I think and that is my opinion. Concepts, nonsheps.....anyway lets get another UT server up. And I dislike chess, it uses too many brain cells http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Well if you check out my original message, it was the engine I was impressed with and that's what I was telling everyone to check out.

Besides the game is not important. One good game is only one good game ...however... one good game engine should mean many good games.

About UT...well, I don't have it now but was considering getting it. Almost snagged it last weekend, but it was not on sale and $49.99 is just TOO much for any game. I'll let ya know when I'm UT enabled.

The only gaming challenge I'm currently in shape for would be a Quake 2 rail-only "insta-gib" (1 shot kills) match. But that would be completely unfair to you.

http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif Ok Outpatient, if that was your point well...then I understand. Your are right about the engine, but if you read your third post it just didn't sound like you were harping on the engine as much as the shooter concept which I adore. But hey, I'll play you in quake 2. No shame in my game, I lose, I lose. Who cares. For once I'd like to play some guys or gals over the Net that I know so when I win or lose I can reminisce later. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif Sounds like fun if we could get it to work. Or are you afraid hehe http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif LMK

I'm game. If you wanna try connecting directly to each other via the net, I'm willing...not exactly sure how to do it.

Or we could always just meet on a server sometime. Name a time & place. Where are you? I'm in California (ie PDT)

Here are some of the rail-only servers I visit and usually get good pings on:

206.135.44.98 : 27910 CommWerks Rail This
24.113.38.190 : 27910 ^DucK's Rails^
