XBLA: Serious Sam Being Remade For XBLA
Majesco, through Eurogamer, have revealed that they intend to publish a remake of the 2001 PC classic Serious Sam to the Xbox Live Arcade this Summer, and for the nice price of 1,200 Microsoft Points.
Dubbed Serious Sam HD, the game will include the entire first game with completely remade visuals, and will also feature 4 player cooperative play. Serious Sam is a completely over the top shooter in the vein of the hundred-of-enemies style of gameplay that the original DOOM with a bit of Duke Nukem 3D added to the mix.
The game is being developed by Croteam, the original creators of Serious Sam, and as mentioned will be published by Majesco. Previously Majesco had only ever released one title through digital download on consoles - Psychonauts on Xbox Originals, so this will be their first foray into the Xbox Live Arcade.
With Perfect Dark, the original Call Of Duty, Battlefield 1943, and possibly Quake Arena Arcade all coming this year, it's going to be quite a full back end of the year for first person shooter fans.
Check out Eurogamer.net for all the new screenshots as well as some comparison shots - it's certainly come a long way.
