Quoting: Eocene84They might get a c&d for having Alien in the title. But I'm defintely interested.

Alien is a word, I don't think anyone can claim it as intellectual property. There might be specific cases where it could be trademarked, but it's like with Apple--they can sue you for calling a computer an apple, but they can't sue you for calling an apple an apple. In this case, the game is calling an alien an alien. I don't think that's actionable.

Why are they using a custom script? Does Steam not provide separate options for Linux x86 and Linux ARM?

I adore the SS series. Bought the boxed copies of the original games when they first came out in stores and have played them many times over the years. Hard pass on this though, especially since I dislike co-op. Hopefully Serious Sam 5 from Croteam is on the way at some point.

I'm glad to see the Devs being so passionate about Native Linux support.

Going to have to get this, Was a massive TA fan back in the day.

I'd forgotten about this if am honest, nice to see a native game and not relying on proton!

Quoting: ScottCarammell

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThat's NEVER gonna happen - Tim Sweeny is openly anti-Linux, and he's quite vocal about it, too. If you're really keen, you can play it on your Stream Deck via Remote Play... It takes a bit of mucking around to get the settings just right, so gameplay is smooth; but it works.

I wouldn't be that cynical about it, it's always possible especially as Linux continues to grow. But unlikely? Definitely

Have you ever read Tim Sweeny's comments about Linux? The man almost-certainly has more love for Hitler than he does for Linux.

ok let's be so fr here he wasn't advocating for all linux users to be flayed in the town square he just sucks up to Microsoft way too much. the fact Unreal 5 natively compiles for Linux at all when it released during an era of decreasing Linux ports and increasing reliance on Proton shows he isn't pulling out all the stops to actively sabotage Linux adoption, he's just really slow and wants Microsoft to buy out his failed company.

I may be wrong but seem to remember reading that it was outside/community devs that sorted the linux side not Epic themselves.

I hope they have a 4 pack with a decent rebate at launch so I don't have to pay full price for the whole family.

As far as I remember Valve blocked the creation of multi-packs a good while ago. Something about have games in inventories leading to trading from regions with low regional pricing.

Can't wait to try this! I'm a huge Serious Sam fan, been one since day one. So is my wife. And the kids. I hope they have a 4 pack with a decent rebate at launch so I don't have to pay full price for the whole family.

It seems like the trailer itself can't maintain a consistent 60 fps.

This game is gonna be SO AWESOME! However, this is your friendly public service announcement:

THIS IS OWLCAT. The game will be wonderful ... eventually. If they say 2027, this probably means 2028 release, but even then it'll be a beta version they slap a 1.0 on. But they continually dev for a very long time, so my recommendation would be to wait until 2029 to actually play this game, as it'll have enormouse balance / skill updates and patches etc.

Rogue Trader was an absolutely phenomenal game... after a while. At launch, it had some pretty big issues, but they fixed them! The game you play today is nothing at all like what they launched 1.0 with. Which is a good thing that they continually dev.

Quoting: CalinouWatercooling takes less space in the buiild, but is overall more prone to failures (not just leaking, but pump failures and air bubbles leading to increased noise). It's a reason I've stuck to aircooling until now, even on a 13900K and now a 9950X3D.

Absolutely agree with. I am even using a Top-Down cooler on 5950X with no throttling at all (some undervolting done), which also cools my memory and voltage transformers. This is also necessary, because I want to use my Zen1 motherboard for further 7 years and cooler temperatures leads to better durability.

Currently I have no interest in buying new AMD or NVidia products, since both work together with Palantir. For now I hope my PC lasts a decade without issues and I hope the PC situation is kinda better then. In best case open hardware RiscV become become an alternative, which I would buy if the CPU is just better than Zen4 CPUs. And Intel hopefully becomes somehow good enough to that date, so there is a GPU manufacturer more to choose.

thatone looks really interesting tbh

will have to wait several years if its infected with denuvo on release though (and hopefully gets removed later).

looks decent otherwise.

Something looks off with the artstyle to me. From the little gameplay that was shown in this it looks decent but those voiceovers on the trailer are super cringe to me and the artstyle is kinda bland and not consistent.

I'm sure these devs will slap denuvo over it, so I'll just assume it'll be no-go.

Quoting: pbWhat's wrong with the engine? I have it, but haven't started playing yet, so now I wonder if I should. ;p

There's nothing "wrong" with the engine, they're upgrading to a newer version of Unreal Engine (5.5.4 ?). This will extend the range of the sight bubble for one thing, so that binoculars can be introduced and to help with immersion. The game is fantastic right now (bugfixes aside), so get stuck in!

LAN parties was relatively rare, so multiplayer meant having social time with friends, we'd often break for food (and it was usually quite a feast as we all enjoyed good food).
So all those memories of co-op was extra good because we were doing it with friends that we knew very well.

I agree in that the standard SS loop won't really scale well to modern-day co-op, but also have to say that the video didn't *feel* like serious sam.

I have doubts this concept survives meeting the player base. Servers gone within a year?
It'll be a challenge to keep the gameplay fresh for more than a few hours, if it's just going to be Serious Sams blasting away endless hordes on perpetual repeat. Then again, hardpenguin enjoyed the first two games in co-op... although they released more than two decades ago and the 'roguelite co-op shooter' scene has grown exponentially since then and the competition is fierce, not to mention players expect different things today. 🤔
If they cram non-cosmetic monetization into this, or even too much of those - RIP.

Quoting: fabertaweI haven't played for a while. I've got 340 hours in so far but I'm waiting for the engine update to drop before I jump back in. Love this game, looking forward to playing this DLC. We've got years of play ahead with mods as well.

Got the second one with a humble bundle, thought I was gonna install something from epic with heroic more than for the lulz, but now I feel more like sailing the seven seas and find it that way...

Serious Sam 1 and 2 co-op were super fun. I feel like that aspect was not as good in SS3 and SS4? So I hope this one brings the fun back. The trailer looks a lot like these first two classic games from the series.

Looking pretty good on casual inspection. Question will always be if the writing can back it up and these days I need to worry about whether I can actually run it in an acceptable manner.
