Rumor: Croteam to reveal Serious Sam 4 at E3
The official Serious Sam Facebook page teases that things are going to get 'serious' quite soon.
Digital Devolver's E3 2016 lineup is seriously stacked. The publisher revealed that it will show off Shadow Warrior 2, STRAFE, and Absolver at the annual event, plus a new game from Serious Sam developer Croteam. What could that new game be?
After Digital Devolver announced its E3 lineup on Twitter, Croteam put out a social media update of its own. "Get excited! Things are getting serious," the developer wrote in a Facebook update.
Croteam's post almost certainly alludes to the grand unveiling of Serious Sam 4. The sequel was announced back in 2013 and has been partially funded by sales gleaned through a Serious Sam Humble Bundle up for grabs that same year.

He hasn't played Doom 4

I have a very strong feeling that he's going to fail, he's not even curious to check his competition -

I have my doubts. The pitch to his kickstarter made it feel like his main selling point was to go old school, but mix it up with the environments. It wasn't clear if the environment was also going to play a bigger role in the game, or just be a reason why you'd be fighting in castles and ships instead of space corridors, etc.
But, we have new titles that raise the bar, so you'd think he's at least taking notes about what the market now expects/wants.-
Man Romero absolutely has talent and always has. Have you played his recently released Doom levels? The quality of those designs speak for themselves. He's only improved his game, which was pretty badass even back in the day.

It came at the right time. We went from original Doom with hordes of creatures on screen to just a couple with a ton of polygons. SS took us back to fighting off hordes again. It was great LAN party fun. But, given how technology has been able to take us back again, they'll have dig deep to make it fresh again.

I tend to agree with you in that SS was never that much like classic DooM. However, it has been one of the last holdouts in the fast, action-oriented gameplay FPS department. It's totally reasonable to say "nu-DOOM has shown us how to do modern action-oriented gameplay right. What is a new Serious Sam going to bring to the table besides relatively generic throwback gameplay?"
-
yeah i get it, its gameplay style was flying in the face of modern storydriven bullshit wannabe film director on rails shooters. and i love SS, dont misunderstand. but to me doom was as much about the atmosphere and masterful level design, and doom was never an "arena" shooter like SS.

Serious Sam 3 was super fun in 4-player co-op.
