The game is still coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 after its period of exclusivity is over with Stadia,” a rep for publisher Devolver Digital told Kotaku over email, adding that those consoles won’t receive Serious Sam 4 until 2021 after further inquiry.

Cool, just finished the first game for the first time since launch. Holds up well enough. Looks like more of the same here.

If anyone's interested in an actual hidden gem, GCN/PS2 had an exclusive Serious Sam game that was never re-released, probably because it was a different developer. But it's pretty good. It still had historical environments that are more interesting than later games, like Ancient Rome and feudal China.

There's also the whacked out Serious Sam 2 (no, not 2nd Encounter), which is also pretty fun.

Still on Steam though?  OK, no worries.

I tried getting into this series a few times, the originals, the HD remasters, only played 1/2 I think and got a decent way through 1. I like the concept and the wackiness but I just found the games got boring because there's hardly any level design and it's just waves of tons of enemies at once like a horde mode which I also find boring in general.

There's definitely a place for shooters like this so good for them to keep making them. I'd give it a try again if they shook up the formula and made it closer to something like Doom 2016.

Also I was expecting better graphics from the SS4 trailer. SS3 already had a pretty nice photo-realism look iirc? This doesn't look much different from my memory of that.

Didn't really like the weird planets and humour of 2. Go back to time travel.
