MarketTantrik Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 CroTeam answers some questions After the announcement of Serious Sam HD and the fan frenzy that followed, Alen Ladavac, Croteam's CTO, posted on Seriously!'s forums and answered many questions asked by fans regarding Serious Sam HD and Serious Sam 3. Here are some of the highlights: Q: Will we see the return of many of the features from Serious Sam 1 that were absent in Serious Sam 2 like Mental mode, custom gravity and saturation/colour bias sliders? A: Mostly yes, plus, SSHD holds some more improvements that are in line with where SSFE was, and SS3 adds some more specific stuff to gameplay and options. But custom gravities, unfortunately, not yet. Q: Will there be an achievements/unlock/rewards system for superior gaming skills? A: Yes, there already is in SSHD. Q: Will the sound engine have more extensive support for integrated sound cards and soundchips? Will the engine include support for OpenAL implementation as an alternative to Creative EAX? A: SE3 supports DirectSound W&W/O EAX, OpenAL, and XAudio2. But XAudio2 rocks so much, you won't want to use anything else. That will be the default, and there probably won't be a menu option to use the other two at all (only through the console). XAudio2 works perfectly, no matter which chip you have. We were never able to get this much reliablity in reproducing the same sound effects with other APIs before, ever since our old software mixer (which has not been used for quite some time). Effectively, XAudio2 _is_ a software mixer, and that is why it works so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 New trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusiv...rious-sam/54243 (don't know how to embed - sorry) Doesn't look too shabby for an XBLA game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^^ They simply ported the original over to Serious Engine 3. Might have been a bit too much to ask, but I was hoping for a remake on Serious Engine 3. Still, a must buy, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Most definitely dude. We gotta co-op this bitch up as soon as it's out. For sure. Although I'm kinda worried about how the frantic action will hold up with a gaming controller versus a KB/mouse combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Maybe they'll just dumb the difficulty down to make it more controller friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
