I can't wait to check it out when I get home.
Are you sure you guys aren't being overly critical?
I mean, the gameplay in the original was kind of wooden too. I wasn't really expecting a gameplay (or even graphical) revolution - I was just hoping for a new Serious Sam game that had the fast and furious action of the first, with new environments, and a few new enemies.
Have they changed it that much for the worse?

it's about what i was expecting. surely there will be some awesome looking levels in the full version if the original is anything to go by.

It just feels to old, ya' know? Enemies dont flinch whe nyou shoot them, bright red blood clouds, weapons dont even cock back when you fire, enemies have animation just like Quake 3... Hell you could fool somebody into thinking you were playing Quake 3.
My frame rate just wasn't consistent with what I was seeing either... Its not drawing that much. HDR and bloom worked fine and smooth, but even with them off, it just looked exactly the same.
Gameplay wise, it was a lot like theo lder games, but i couldn't help but think "DE 2" when i started playing. The horrible woman voice with the shitty weapons shooting at wooden enemies...? Its all so 1995.
Ill give it another try tomorrow, I am quite tired, but it has let me down a little bit thus far.
Yeah ok buddy..
The games fantastic looking..
Unreal One is fantastic looking. But its not up to todays standards either.

That's the whole point of a demo so yes you can.
Infact you can judge the entire game from just this screenshot.

You're retarded. I'm not looking forward to SS2 because of the menus.
I don't care if I have to type "singleplayer" and hit enter to start a game, as long as the game is fun.

I knew i hated you for a reason..
do you WANT serious sam to look like HL2 and OMGWTFPWNOWNAGE real life graphics?
I fucking dont, its suppst to be all bright and shit, it makes serious sam what it is..
On top of that, its a DEMO ffs

it appears that everyone that has a 64 bit system it plays like crap. Those of us that still have the 32bit CPU runs great.

At the risk of getting flamed like fuck...
I think Painkiller was a better game and more impressive looking than whats shown in this demo.
I do hope this gets changed.

Yep.. Your always "meh" when anything new comes out. you cry if ONE model in a game has a stray pixel somewhere on it.. your a detail whore plain and simple..
Dont get me wrong i want OMGWTFPWN detail in games too, but guess what, its serious sam.. i could care less if its stick figures, so long as they throw me a challange and its FUN..
