Serious Sam HD also coming to PC News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360

CDV doing the honours this autumn.

German publisher CDV has announced a PC version of Serious Sam HD, which was revealed earlier today for Xbox Live Arcade.

The PC game will be released digitally and in shops this autumn, Eurogamer Germany reports. The console version, however, will be out this summer.

CDV also revealed that Serious Sam HD will be built on the Serious Engine 3, which was announced two years ago alongside a third Serious Sam game. We've heard little on either since.

Head over to our Serious Sam HD gallery for some screenshots.

Tis a bit strange considering SS has no problems running on modern PC's at all, but I guess horses for courses.

Good stuff.

I'm wondering now if this isn't going to be using the new Serous 3 engine. They've been working on it for yonks.
Croteam have got three games in the works right now apparently.

@cyacomini I agree. The PC release seems rather pointless.

Obviously you can play it in whatever res you like on PC but the original game has no shader support at all and the engine is getting creaky.

This version is obviously a bit of a re-boot with a new engine.

Bah! Doomguy invalidated my "hilarious" post by deleting his multi-posts.

I think I'll get this on PC then.

Yep, no disrespect to the 360 version but I think mouse+kb is the way to go for Serious Sam.

Serious Sam also borrowed somewhat from Duke.. clearly they like the idea of long development times too.

3 years for a complete engine is NOT a long time...

Thinking back in the days when i first got to play the first Serious Sam on the PC which was also the first game i played coop from my own PC with my buddy back then, it was just freaking awesome. Seeing him running infront of my screen with the suicide headless bombers all right after him.. Good times, good times... Wish they could bring all over again something that entertaining out for us. The thing is that a remake of the same with shiny graphics isnt going to help at this point at the requiered lvl unfortunately.

Hope ill enjoy it at least a bit playing the game all over though.

@NunianVonFuch It's not pointless for those of us who don't have or can't afford a 360... like me. and graphics-wise its not pointless because they've beefed up the graphics so much it's gonna be like playing a whole new game! have you seen the screenshots?!
