Serious Engine 3 unveiled by Croteam
Gamecock has announced that it will publish the upcoming "military tactical-action shooter" from Croteam, developers of the Serious Sam series. The game is heading to PC and "specific next-gen consoles." Lets hope the Xbox 360 is "specific" enough to warrant a port.Along side the announcement is the unveiling of Croteam's Serious Engine 3. A handful of screenshots of the engine in motion have been released, and they do look mighty impressive. We'll have to agree with Joystiq though, we're waiting to see the game in motion before we call it good. Besides, these shots showcase a serious lack of enemies with bombs for heads. What's the deal with that? Check out the Serious Engine 3 gallery below.%Gallery-3139%
Gamecock teams with Croteam, shows off Serious Engine 3
Independent publisher Gamecock has announced that they will be publishing Serious Sam developer Croteam's as-of-yet untitled "military tactical-action shooter" for PC and "specific next-gen consoles" in 2009, according to the press release.Croteam also released three pictures showcasing Serious Engine 3. The screenshots look impressive, but we'll reserve judgment until we see the engine in motion. The Serious Engine's greatest aspects have always been its draw distance and ability to smoothly throw a plethora of bad guys in your path.Croteam has previously worked with the Gamecock crew before, when the former Gathering of Developers executives published the first Serious Sam in North America. There is no word on who will publish Serious Sam 3 in North America; the second game was released by G.O.D. remnant and Take-Two subsidiary 2K Games.%Gallery-3138%
Serious Sam shoots for three, dev talks new IP
The spiritual descendant of Duke Nukem, living vicariously in his extended absence, is back for more. Croatian developer Croteam announced in their native gaming magazine GamePlay that they are currently working on Serious Sam 3.Fan site Seriously! has obtained a copy of the magazine and posted the highlights from the interview with the developer. Also discussed is a new IP, a "military tactical-action shooter" powered by the Serious Engine 3. "The game is set in the present; with 'in your face' action and requiring gamers to think before shooting," they said. Sounds like a pretty serious title for the makers of the not-so-serious Serious Sam series. (Go on, say that three times fast.)Croteam COO Davor Hunski said that an official announcement for Serious Sam 3 will be coming soon from the publisher. "I honestly hope it will see the light of day soon," he said.[Via Blue's News]
