You know he is going too!

I'll post more screenies later, but kinda hard since those nice screenies with lotsa Kleers, Gnaars, etc are really hard to take when you're busy dodging and fragging them....

If you're taking pictures with fraps, you could bind it to your reload key... don't bind it to your trigger though lol.

Back with more screenies, it does look good but there are performance issues and bugs I believe. I keep getting freezes which forces me to bring up task manager to 'unfreeze' them, and FR can be very nice 150fps to 200fps, with acceptable drops to ~60fps in certain areas. But, in some areas - Valley of the Kings IIRC - FR can dip to <30fps! I hope it's just a driver issue which can easily be remedied with a driver update. Anyho, here're the screenies -

Remember these guys?

This part's just awesome! But FR can dip pretty badly..

So how is the game over all mikey? Besides this thread, I wouldn't even know the game existed.

Mine has downloaded...going to give it a shot pretty soon. I hope it runs well enough that I can max everything out..

Serious Sam II, the 2nd Encounter made a huge impression on me but when I tried the first serious sam it was pretty lame in comparison. Not sure new graphics are going to help it but maybe.

Now I hope this game is successful because maybe it will spark a new trend redo all those old classics. I just bought Dark Forces (1995) on steam and I've never seen such large pixels. I'm surprised anyone ever played graphics like that.
But I would like to see System Shock be redone a bunch of other too.

Are you 12?

Dark Forces was fantastic!

No. I'm 45 and I'm stuck on level 2 like a noob

I even read a walk through I think I'm supposed to open a door and walk through it but I can't even see.

My night vision wears out and the water monsters bite me
I miss the days where I owned in America's Army.

When I showed my brother the game, he offered to buy me Left for Dead out of pity

I broke into PC gaming with games like this one, really old skool shooter, just frag anything you see! This is fun stuff, but Serious Sam: The Second Encounter is even more fragtastic fun.....it's gonna be released in HD as well, so I'm lookin' forward to it.

As for this game, it takes me back, great shooter made even better with an updated graphics overhaul. One thing about Serious Sam, it's seriously throws tons of serious enemies at you, and you've gotta seriously frag away if you wanna make it thru.....seriously!

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
