Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass teaser trailer revealed, more to be shown at E3

Quoting: BeamboomTWO? So, twins? That's quite the load, I can imagine. :D

It feels like "lots of them". :D

Hahaha!

Quoting: dubigrasuYou should see the stupid grin on my face :D

So it's not just me with a grin then?

If I get to ride my bike down the street and shoot some serious
monsters, AT THE SAME TIME, that would be seriously awesome!

I never played a serious sam game. This looks very silly, and I kinda want to play now...

Quoting: BeamboomI'm such a dull person. When I watched the video, I thought, "how can that guy scream "waaaaaaa!" with no head?".

Much like when skeletons are talking and they have no lungs in their chest, let alone vocal cords. Details like that really annoys me.

I really am no fun.

I get the screaming thing. Although my understanding is that "Serious Sam" in general could reasonably be renamed "Fairly Comedic Sam" (or perhaps "Poe's Law Parody Sam" ), so realism may not be what they're trying for here.
But when it comes to skeletons . . . they're magic. If you're going to buy that they walk around and try to kill you with no muscles, tendons et cetera to drive their movements, talking seems like a comparatively trivial bit of gramarye to stick at. Either they're proper "physics" skeletons, meaning they lie there falling apart and do nothing, or they're magic skeletons, in which case surely the sky's the limit.

If you had played the game and read their description, you'd know they have a boom box embedded in their necks producing the aaaaaaah sounds. Mental wanted humans to hide and cower in fear when they heard that sound. He/it/she found that it was really boring to have human soldiers blow up without even knowing what happened to them with the stealthy v1.0 bomb soldiers.

I still think there's a difference! I accept that magic is what holds the bones together and moves'em. But why even MOVE the damn jaws when you have *nothing* behind those bones? Just go telepathic or make the skull vibrate to generate those sound waves or whatever. It makes no sense even in the context of the worlds. Of course they can't talk the regular way, by moving their jaws!

Must be added though, that living skeletons are usually quite quiet, except from the rattling of their bones.

But those who are not... Get outta here. :)

Hahaha - really? That's fantastic! :D

Now that the Serious Sam Complete Pack is seriously reduced (87% off) on Steam, I'm thinking to buy it again for my second Steam account.

Go Croteam!!! :)
