None of those techniques were thought to be "impossible" on the Wii, because Factor 5 had done them on the Gamecube 6 years previously.
I'd also LOVE to know where you're getting those sales figures. NPD isn't available 'till the 12th, as anyone betting on the sales figures at GAF knows. Reply-1
I'm not convinced with the tech TBH. I completed RFG and enjoyed it loads, but most of the time I found the physics doesn't actually work as it should (floating floors, whole buildings held up with a couple of sticks, ladders in mid-air etc)
Looks great when everything's exploding, but the whole ''take out the structural supports and watch the building collapse realistically' doesn't really work in practice.
Almost seems like a step back from the original geomod by being limited to just structures as well.
From my experience I tend to only buy MS points when I've got something particular to buy in mind, and maybe spend the left over on a XBLA game or a bit of cheaper DLC.
There's so much content on the marketplace I've not even had the chance to buy and play all the things I do want a look at, nevermind spending those points on an unknown quantity.
I don't think advertising will make much difference when these little games are competing against proper DLC and XBLA for your points. Reply+1
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.

Xbox Serious Sam was a combo of the first and second PC games. It also got The PC version of SS2.
Other consoles got the "Next Encounter" spinoff. Reply0
Serious Sam II proper did actually get an xbox release before the format was dropped.
It was easier on Xbox by miles due to generous autoaim and less/slower baddies, the PC version was brutally difficult in the later stages. Reply+1
It's definitely been re-jigged. The original was nice, but those screens look like they've ported the old game on to the engine they used for Serious Sam 2 (which still looks fantastic) Reply0
Strange there's no performance difference between the two resolutions, surprised that it's actually 1080 native too.
Interesting you should ask about PC-style graphics options as well. I say devs should go for it.
People will always moan about tearing, graphics and framerate. If a game can't provide all three, give the gamer a choice over what they prefer. Reply+3

The console version of SS was a hybrid of the PC original and second encounter, I'm guessing it's that version they've redone. Reply +1

Make a nice change from the constant re-hashes of SvR.
I liked TNA, the controls were bang-on, but it was a bit feature-light.
Should do us until they release a new Firepro or get FPW D on digi distro. Reply +2
