XBLA "HD" remake of Serious Sam: First Encounter.
Quote:
Legions of long-time fans and a whole new generation of gamers around the world can now experience serious shooting mayhem as Majesco Europe, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced that Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD is coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Developed by Croteam, the creators of the Serious Sam franchise, and produced in partnership with Devolver Digital, Serious Sam: The First Encounter is re-tooled and re-vamped in glorious High Definition with an all-new version of the CroTech engine.
Quote:
Serious Sam HD is not your mother's generic, large-scale, orchestral scored, Space Marine-themed epic FPS with dialogue that pretends it's an RPG...instead, Serious Sam HD is a grab you by the jibblies run and gun, twitch FPS: BIG guns, TONS of enemies, 4-Player Online Co-Op and stunningly superfluous HD graphics that rival retail boxed games. You've waited forever but Serious Sam is back from the nether with its award-winning game play that will remind you why you play FPSs in the first place.

Mike Wilson told Big Download that Devolver is "basically acting as the production company for the XBLA game, since we are not an official MSFT publisher yet." Devolver will, however, be publishing the PC version of Serious Sam HD.

Wait, don't you have both consoles? We know that you've sucked off the Gears of War dong in past.
I'm keen for the PC port, I missed out on these games the first time around.

Wow that is very very good news. I loved the first Serious Sam with its expansion, always hated the second one. I'm VERY interested in how this will turn out especially since I was searching for ways of resurrecting these games. Wow, awesome.

Serious Sam 2 was bad indeed, good shooter needs good weapons.

I hated the weapons in Sam 2. Anyway, I think this looks really cool. Hope the gameplay is the same, just with updated graphics.

Be happy that you've got a blu-ray player, because movies are the only new releases that will be playable on that that thing in 1-2 years time.

Why, are they planning retroactively disable EVERY catalogue game via firmware updates? Don't be a fucking idiot.
I highly doubt that there will be a new generation Playstation console released in two years time either.
