I'm of the opinion that we could always use more fast-paced, over-the-top first-person shooters, which is something I cannot talk about without mentioning Serious Sam 3 and to some extent Painkiller: Resurrection.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Croteam head honcho Roman Ribaric dropped two hints related to Sam's next adventure. "First, Serious Sam 3 will play like the original Serious Sam." Thank goodness for that -- I imagine 99% of the people who play the series aren't playing it for the art style (no offense!).
Not exactly "news," I know, but here's where it gets interesting. Ribaric also mentions that Croteam will "leave the cartoony look behind" for some undisclosed reason. I had sort of become acustomed to the way the Serious Sam games always looked, but perhaps it is time for some change.
Either way, I can't really complain until we see what Serious Sam 3's fresh new style is like, now can I? Unfortunately, it's sounding like that won't be until sometime after Serious Sam HD for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC is finished.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

So will it look like this really old engine demonstration by Croteam?
This is disappointing.
i'm kind of put back at this news, but again, nothing but words at this point.
so long as it still has style to it (which i'm sure it will), i'll be happy.
