Great news for console gamers as Devolver Digital has just announced that Croteam is currently working on the console versions of Serious Sam 3: BFE. Both Devolver and Croteam haven’t revealed any possible release date or the platforms in which Serious Sam 3 will be ported. Devolver stated that Croteam is working on Serious Sam 3 for consoles, and since WiiU is nowhere to be found, we can safely assume that it will come to both PS3 and X360.

2012 is almost upon us and it’s about time to take a look at 2011’s PC offers. However, here is something interesting with this Top10. This is not a Top 10 Best PC Games of 2011. Since we’ve been covering the performance of all the latest PC titles, we decided to make a Top 10 with the best and most optimized PC games of 2011. Therefore, this list takes into consideration the ability of a game to take advantage of quad-cores, whether or not is full of bugs, its graphical options and its ability – and whether the specifications are justified – to push the boundaries of each and every DX API. So, take a deep breath and here we go… Continue reading Top 10 PC Optimized Games of 2011→

Oh boy, I really feel sorry for all those pirates out there. The first DRM protection routine that Serious Sam 3 introduced was the immortal scorpion. You thought that it was the only one, right? Well guess again as Croteam has included and a second DRM feature that forces the player to look up in the sky while spinning uncontrollably. Oh yeah, those who decide to pirate Serious Sam 3 will be forced to look up in the sky at one point and won’t be able to progress. This is really hilarious – well, not as much as the adorable immortal scorpion but still – and you can view a video of it, in action, after the jump. Start taking notes developers cause this is how DRM should actually be. Enjoy! Continue reading Serious Sam 3 Protection V2 – Look up in the sky, is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s DRM pwnage→

Okay everyone, I have a confesion to make; I simply love Croteam. It’s not the extra and juicy details that the Croatian developer has added to the game. No no no, it’s the introduction of an immortal speedy arachnoid enemy – due to its anti-piracy protection system – that is the icing on the cake. So, if you are one of those greedy gamers that wanted to play illegaly this polished FPS game, beware; an immortal speedy red scorpion/arachnoid will come after you until you drop dead. Now that’s awesome. Of course this will get cracked, eventually, but it’s hilarious witnessing pirates complaining about that immortal enemy. Kudos to Croteam for doing something similar to Bohemia’s take on Take On Helicopters DRM with its blurry graphics. Great work guys! Continue reading Serious Sam 3: BFE – DRM Introduces Immortal Scorpion→
As we told you in our Performance Analysis, Croteam had included some color options in Serious Sam 3: BFE that can be tweaked on the fly. We bet that most gamers didn’t bother with them, so we went ahead and tried to capture some screenshots with some custom, artistic settings. It’s really amazing what some color/contrast/gamma calibration can do and in order to give you an idea of those promising – almost endless – choices, we’ve also included a before and after shot of a scene from the game. Now these screenshots are not with one custom setting, so there is no point in asking us about the options we used. Each and every screenshot was tweaked with different color/contrast/gamma values. So, what do you think? Does it look better than Battlefield 3? Continue reading Serious Sam 3: BFE is the best looking PC game to date; New screenshots with artistic touch→

Be sure to also take a look at our Performance Analysis for it. Enjoy the trailers after the jump! Continue reading Serious Sam 3: BFE – Color Scheme Options & Blood Options Trailers→
At last, Croteam’s old-school FPS is finally here with us and it’s time to see how this bad boy performs with a modern-day PC. As usual, we used an overclocked Q9650 at 4.2Ghz, 4GB RAM and a GTX295 with Windows 7 64-Bit and Nvidia’s latest ForceWare drivers. First things first though; we have to congratulate Croteam for all those graphical options that are available. PC gamers can tweak pretty much everything, from the parallax occlusion mapping quality to the textures’ quality and the LOD amount. These are by far the best in-game options we’ve ever seen and every developer should take a good look at them. Continue reading Serious Sam 3: BFE PC Performance Analysis→
