If you wanted to not die, you either had to shoot better or move faster (rarely did jumping do you any good). Don't you just duck behind stuff?īack in the day of Quake-style FPS games, you could do three things: move, jump, and shoot. I never really understood how cover systems worked anyway. We had one last question: at a time when even Duke Nukem can only carry a few guns at a time, how does Sam carry every weapon in the game at once? "Pockets," Ribaric explained. "Steam is not just bringing them back to life, but it's also giving them extra blood, via good royalties, to make them stronger to stay alive and compete for a long, long time." "'Middle class' games were almost dead, but luckily, Valve's Steam came to rescue," he told Ars. Ribaric thinks the criticism is misguided. It almost seemed as if he was taking a shot at games like Serious Sam 3 and Hard Reset. "I'm going to go on the record and say that I believe the middle class game is dead," Bleszinski said during his talk at GDC. Serious Sam 3 will initially appear for $39.99, and earlier this year Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski had harsh words for games that weren't either big-name event launches or quirky indie games. The game also occupies an odd space in the industry as a digital-only release that's more expensive than many games that launch on services like Steam. People may describe Serious Sam as being big and dumb, but it takes a whole bunch of smarts to make something this crazy. This isn't a simple task, as everything from enemy counts, item placement, and width of the game's corridors needs to be taken into account when you scale up to that many players. "These quick moves, along with the sledgehammer weapon, come in very handy when the player is overwhelmed by a large group of enemies and needs to make a little room." Advertisement

"The first gameplay update fans will notice are the new melee attacks that can be used against small to medium sized enemies," he explained. Having said that, Ribaric also pointed out the changes made to the new game. This sort of frenzied assault makes a Serious Sam game special, he said adding anything else to the core mechanic would be doing the franchise a disservice.
This must be done quickly, as there is little room to hide and the enemies certainly aren't taking cover either."
"In Serious Sam 3: BFE, the player's decisions are based on quickly assessing a situation where there are dozens of different enemies charging your position and the player has to prioritize targets and choose the most effective weapon from the arsenal. "The strategy found in a cover-based game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Gears of War is completely different from the strategy at play in Serious Sam games," Ribaric said. " Serious Sam 3: BFE is a culmination of everything we’ve learned from developing the previous games in the series, while also adding in some of the things that just weren't possible back in 2001 or 2002," he told Ars. I recently had the chance to chat with Croteam CEO Roman Ribaric about the game's design, and it would be hard to find a man more at peace with the game his studio is creating. Croteam, the game's developer, knows what works within the Serious Sam formula, and these are aspects of the game that won't be changed. Spot a pile of ammunition in the middle of a calm street? Get ready for a swarm of enemies.
Serious Sam 3 looks like a throwback to the action games of my youth: no cover system, huge levels, and an emphasis on all-out action.
