I need to how to benchmark my system with Serious Sam, so in a strict sense it is hardware-related.

Waste of time for me. Downloaded, installed, configured video, sound, and controls. Start game and hard crash - had to reboot the box. Tried again and same thing. From what I saw on the intro the graphics looked pretty lame. Not up to today's standards.

Setup: BE6-2/P3-700@933/256MB/V3-3000(default)/SB Live Plat. Pretty standard stuff. If they can't make a game stable with 3dfx/SB parts they shouldn't bother...

Robor, I had no problem with my Pentium III, SB Live and Voodoo3 system, I have latest drivers for everything and it worked fine - if a little slowly. Also I agree with Ahfung, I thought the graphics were pretty cool.

 

[ahfung]

Rober, I feel sorry for your experience. There is a patch available for Voodoo users, maybe you should try it before giving up.

 

[Robor]

Hmmm... I've got the latest V3 drivers installed but I didn't see any Voodoo patch before. Is the Voodoo patch for V3's? I noticed when I configured my video (changed detail level and resolution) that it recognized my card as a V3. Maybe I'll try that patch and give it one more chance. One thought, I am running Windows Me right now. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I was looking at the screenshots only! Seems to be a complete engine. Is there some t&l support?

 

[El Norm]

Yeah i'm pretty sure it uses T&L.

Is is an excellent game. It looks like it might get fully developed before its engine gets outdated. It is also a very nice demo to let run on a fast system.

 

[ahfung]

The patch is for Serious Sam, fixing up some performance issue with V3 cards.

Good looking maps/effects, but lame-ass gameplay and ugly models and weapons.

It's only fun for the technology (which still looks about 6 months out of date, nice water though) and if you're a compulsive circle strafer.

If you've got the time/bandwidth, it's a fun demo. The opening demo is really, really sweet (good music, reminiscent of MW2). Other than that, the game is pretty fun, more a throwback to old-school FPSers with new-school graphics. The Technology Tests are pretty nice to look at, too.

Definitely one of the better demos I've downloaded.

 

[Budman]

That was cool.

very fun

TIMEDEMO anyone? I'd like to be impressed by incedibly low FPS for a change.
