Serious Sam HD has seriously gone gold photo

Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter has gone gold, and is now up for pre-purchase over on Steam. Doing so will allow you to keep a few extra dollars in hand as you wait for the game to unlock on November 24.

Now it's obvious Serious Sam HD is a mighty step up in the visuals department, but I didn't truly appreciate the work that's been done until Devolver Digital linked to this super old Serious Sam announcement video created by Croteam. Talk about a trip.

I still say those screaming bomb-headed guys were ridiculously silly even from the very moment the original release of Serious Sam took place so many years ago.

Wow... Quite interesting. I never played or heard, for that matter, about Serious Same before. Looks brutal and fun. I approve. Games today lack the over the top gore and weirdness old games had.

I may actually get this, I miss fps's like this, where it literally is just... first-person shooting arena style all day everyday.

I've been marathoning the series the past week, and it's been a blast. Can't wait to try the remake. Co-op should be fun.

I remember playing the shit out of this on the first Xbox. So mindless, yet so much fun. Still not sure if I should get it.

The screaming bob guys were hilarious! Hell, I'd cosplay as one if I wouldn't get shot down by police and called a terrorist.

You know, the original game was a "mighty step" over that shit looking announcement video...

Still though, this does look mighty tasty. However the $20 price tag is kind of scaring me off.

I loved the sound of those headless bomb dudes. You'd have no idea where they were but you could hear them screaming. Tons of fun, that game. :)

Sam isn't like Duke Nukem. He won't keep you waiting... forever.
