Serious Sam Coming to The XBLA This Summer [Now With Screens] Written Thursday, June 25, 2009 by Dan Webb Majesco today told Eurogamer that a Serious Sam remake would be heading to the Xbox Live Arcade later on in the summer for 1,200 Microsoft Points. The reimagining, developed by the original developer, Croteam, will support online four player co-op, and feature 12 levels of dazzling, revamped action pack mayhem. Serious Sam HD will be available late summer for 1,200 points. Can anyone give me a "hell yeah"? We've just been handed a few screens as well. To check out the screenshot gallery, head here.

 | Comment #6 by raysaber Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 08:43:41 AM Serious Sam: First and Second Encounter on the pc are wonderful games especially with 16 player co-op! Unfortunately its only 4 for the xbla version but it should still be good fun. I'm sure it'll be well worth the 1200ms points. |
 | Comment #7 by alienterrorist Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 08:46:36 AM i remember playing this a few years ago and it ws SOOO much fun!!! Ans 1200 MS points is great deal! @1 it says its going to the xbox live arcade so I think its coming to the arcade. |

| Comment #10 by Markatansky Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 08:50:09 AM @8 XD Hell yeah! Since it only has 12 levels, it must be a an Arcade game. Maybe they'll be really long levels though, eh? |

 | Comment #17 by SuperWoody64 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:19:32 AM This game was 20 bucks on the gamecube like 5 years ago. It's only depreciated 5 dollars in that time? |
 | Comment #18 by Webb Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:21:56 AM @#17 - It's a remake Woody. HD graphics and such. |

| Comment #20 by Markatansky Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:24:25 AM Damn, that really is quite an improvement in graphics! And it's still true to the original. For me this looks like it'll be bypassing the trial! |
| Comment #21 by Markatansky Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:26:03 AM Look ma! I'm a lumberjack! |
 | Comment #22 by Bleeding Star Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:26:22 AM meh hurry up and give me MvC2 and BF1943 |
 | Comment #23 by Rusty Nail zh Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:29:56 AM Nice! Serious Sam was fun!! |
 | Comment #24 by Snuffly Bottom Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:41:24 AM That looks pretty serious. |
 | Comment #25 by Munsie Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:42:34 AM Oh snap. Those screens look pretty awesome. I appreciate the graphics upgrade yet at the same time I miss the old dumpy gfx. |
 | Comment #26 by khamelion Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:42:41 AM this was the nuts on the pc. with the duke gone, sam is the only thing that can scratch my ott shooter itch. |
 | Comment #27 by beezelBug Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:50:14 AM arcade game? the screens look very good. The original game was a fun blast everything and with coop this has to be a must buy. Time to start converting my friends |
 | Comment #28 by Lemon Of Life Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:56:34 AM this game was hilarious |
 | Comment #29 by bapae Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:58:11 AM This game was great. |
 | Comment #30 by DaChiefOfOwnage Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:02:50 AM Hell yeah Serious Sam was an awesome game back then, if they can keep the gameplay the same then I'M SOLD! |
 | Comment #31 by Doctor Mandrake Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:04:00 AM Oh hells yeah. |
 | Comment #32 by B1ue Smoke Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:08:27 AM oh wow.... this gives me hope..... mircosoft please release halo 1 HD!! on xbox live arcade. could you imagine that? with online muliplayer and achievements? |
 | Comment #33 by MG6490 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:15:44 AM 12 levels? Shame cos the origianl game had about 100 didnt it? It was huge but i suppose a hd remake cant have all the original levels :( |
 | Comment #34 by Poisonheadcrab Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:19:43 AM There were roughly 12 levels in the first encounter and the same in the second. If they cut out half the levels, I hope they didn't cut out metropolis. That was probably the best level in the game D: |
 | Comment #35 by unkee888 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:23:49 AM I love Serious Sam Series, Might put this in my Buy list. |
 | Comment #36 by pwjuggalo Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:24:07 AM Friggin Sweet, I can't wait till this comes out. I think that 1200 MP is a little pricey, but I will pay it. This game was so sweet back in the day, I still have the retail copy for the original Xbox. Run-N-Gun @ its' best, just fast paced non-stop brutal action. Count Me In! |
 | Comment #37 by snake2895 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 10:58:03 AM I really do lol because new gen kids haven't heard of Serious Sam and they downrated this just because they want BF 1943 =-/ |
 | Comment #38 by rubixcubed60 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 11:04:15 AM no the original had about 12 levels they were kinda big though i hope that they release second encouter as dlc and 2 as another arcade game and that they make another one for 360 |
 | Comment #39 by Gonzo345 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 11:04:39 AM YES! Will this have coop?Hmm, I would see the achivements gggggg |

 | Comment #41 by UsR Jimbob Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 11:17:35 AM looks pretty good but i want the old Timesplitters on xbox |
 | Comment #42 by GuardianAngelNR Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 11:25:16 AM Anyone else think it doesnt look good? |
 | Comment #43 by Snowdog205 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 11:29:13 AM Sweeeeet.. I really wanted to play this again but the graphics put me off, good job reading my mind Croteam. xD |

 | Comment #49 by NightVision Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 12:19:14 PM I loved this game on the Xbox and I finished it, Woot! It looks really good but, I'm saving mypoints for Fallout DLC and Marvel vs Capcom!!!!! Serious Sam is a great game.. maybe for less than 1200 I'd get it. |

 | Comment #54 by KingSigy Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 01:43:46 PM Oh shit. As long as this has the 8 player co-op, then I will be happy. |

 | Comment #59 by SunnyDLyte Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 02:17:32 PM if only Microsoft could get TLOZ: Ocarina of Time ... that would be soo fun! |
 | Comment #60 by Nevander Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 02:22:56 PM This looks more epic than the word epic is in itself. Hell yeah. I can't wait for this. |
 | Comment #61 by DrRaymond Solar Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 02:26:55 PM Wooooooot!!! |
 | Comment #62 by Steel Stealth Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 02:34:17 PM Serious Sam = Serious Business! I loved these games. Just put your mind on 0% and shoot! =D |
 | Comment #63 by aMourningshadow Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 02:38:02 PM oh. my. god. yes. "Double your gun; double your fun!" |
 | Comment #64 by Tender Branson Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 03:52:38 PM hell motherfucking yeah |
 | Comment #65 by eldavido13 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 04:04:45 PM I hope they don't miss with the achievements. |
 | Comment #66 by Dr Popodopolus Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 04:07:30 PM OMG i didn't think today could get much better!!! Serious Sam!! What a classic! Looking stunning in HD. Hmm so Battlefield 1943, Worms 2, Gears 2 All Fronts, Some Fallout DLC and now this?? This is just getting better and better... What would really make me the happiest bunny in the world though would be Timesplitters 2/3 HD Revamp or atleast the Originals converted!! Hell yeah @41 we can keep hoping and praying!! Also a UT 99 Arcade remake would top it all off for me... A similar standard of game has been achieved with CellFactor PW which i think is great so i will keep believing on that one. Oh yeah and there's still Quake Arena which may or may not still be in development... I don't wan't to come across as greedy and demanding here by the way as i am just hoping ^^ |
 | Comment #67 by BloodDrunk Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 04:07:49 PM Fuck yes |

 | Comment #73 by ThaMyth Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 06:16:21 PM hell yeah |
 | Comment #74 by JRAPOCALYPSE Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 06:16:58 PM Not a very good game,just another half ass fps but if the co-op is good then maybe but doubt it.Americans need to come up with more than half ass fps games and crap madden junk and be way more inventive like the japanese cause american games are starting to go blah! Thank god i also have a jap 360! |
| Comment #75 by JRAPOCALYPSE Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 06:37:45 PM Besides cod with some new things here and there all fps games are the exact same with different themes,i did not have to even be smart to see that. |

| Comment #82 by snake2895 Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 08:53:07 PM @ 74 You do understand that this game came out in 2001 right plus you have MLG in your gamerpic which tells me that you like Halo which is a major half ass FPS. |
 | Comment #83 by MakoBallistic Thursday, June 25, 2009 @ 09:45:07 PM @74 and 82 - its called a diff opinion, everyone has one, get over it. lots of love for Serious Sam, and rightfully so, hilarious fun especially in co-op. |
