First images of Croteam's Serious Engine 3 are all serious and stuff

Still the communists I remember.

"DEVELOPED BY CROTEAM IN CROATIA OMFGZ!"

Yes, we know. I don't see Epic Games screaming; "OMFG UNREAL 3 ENGINE IS DEVELOPED IN THE UNITED STATES!"

Nationalistic masturbation aside, that engine kicks ass from those images. Let's hope it's put to good use.

I have never been so creeped out in my entire life.

Impressive...most impressive.

More hard evidence that PC gaming is the elephant in the room of home consoles, the PC will always be able to outperform the most powerful console, which is why trying to make a home console an expensive PC is missing the point entirely. PS3, I'm talking about you.

Still waiting for all the Gears complainers who compain about everything being "brownish" in color. I personally like it. Nice shots

I agree with your agreement, the 360 is a reasonably priced home console but a conservative estimate of £400+ for a PS3 and a game is a joke, add another £100 and I could get a decent PC with all the trimmings.

I remember when Kingpin came out for the PC, my mate had the latest graphics card, TV, surround sound and so on, I went round his place to check it out and I was blown away, I had to return home to a blurry N64 with slow motion Goldeneye multiplayer...but it was still fun. A console presents an entirley different game dynamic, this is it's strength not it's weakness. Sony seem to think that a home console is sitting there going "If only I could be more expensive and just like a high end PC." Yeah, why don't we apply this logic to PC gaming "If only a PC could be cheaper and graphically crapper." It's madness.

My point is that PC gaming and console gaming are two different beasts, Sony have confused themselves with the PS3, they are trying to compete with specialist high end PC hardware for hardcore PC gamers, and they will fail. Consoles are meant to be affordable and fun, at least Microsoft seem to be learning as they go along and making progress and finding that right balance. Sony started off with a great console with the Playstation, and in three generations they have lost the plot.

I love Croteam. Ever since sitting down and playing the original Serious Sam and hearing the headless bomb guys charge at you I have been a fan. That sound kinda haunts you forever anyway.

You know that big monster reminds me of...

I just hope that they go crazy and just release hordes of enemies on you. I don't really want anything challenging out of my serious sam games, just mind numbing action and lots'o'killin.

Well, we do love our goats :) In fact, for a two goats you can get a nice woman to mate with so she can give birth to more workforce. O' Yeah, good times are up in Croatia. :))

Anyway, never been a big fan of FPS but SS was one the rare that I could loose a couple of hours into.

I loved SS1 and the second encounter, number 2 was a little to cartooney and wasn't nearly as fun as the first 2 games. Never played the console versions. This one looks to return the games to their roots, looks like crysis might have a rival in the graphics department.
