Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope (tuxdb.com)

▶

Good news everybody! We’re announcing quite a few things today so it might be a good idea to grab a cup of coffee while you’re reading this. Before we get started, there is a slightly longer version of this post if you're interested in how and why we did things in VR. http://www.croteam.com/serious-wednesday-update/ TL; DR - Thank you for being awesome!

Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope “Shanti” update is now finished and will become available right after internal testing. The update will include the new planet (Shanti), new weapons (one melee and one long ranged weapon), new feature (Sam’s personal shield) and a very scary new boss. Boo!
Yes, there will be SSVR: The Second Encounter and Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE!
Yes, there will be The Talos Principle VR!
Yes, Serious Sam 4 is still happening and our core team remains hard at work on this, while two much smaller VR teams will continue to grow and work on more VR projects.
No, we haven’t forgotten our “flat” games. We’re announcing Serious Sam Fusion 2017, a FREE update for all owners of Serious Sam games, both flat and VR versions. This update will be rolled out gradually, starting with The First Encounter, and then The Second Encounter and Serious Sam 3: BFE.
Serious Sam Fusion 2017 update will bring a common workshop for cross-game mods support, as well as enable multiplayer between “flat” and VR versions of games, among other things. So, if you have Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter and your friend has The First Encounter HD, you can connect and play coop or versus with one another – using Fusion 2017.

Here’s the complete list of Serious Fusion 2017 update features that will become available in ALL of the games, for free:

All games now support SteamOS/Linux/OSX!
Split-screen!
64bit executables
Support for Vulkan API (DirectX9 is now being removed; so long and thanks for all the bugs)
Multithreaded rendering
The new “lightweight” savegame system; savegames are now saved much faster, are very small and stored in the Steam cloud, and savegames still work even if a level is changed in a patch, or if a mod is updated
Full support for all controllers including Steam controller, PS4 gamepads, all older DInput joysticks
Proper multimonitor support
Borderless window support
Customizable sound outputs
Proper 3D audio using a proprietary sound-mixer (the same approach as used in the old Classics games)
Improved physics engine with better handling of character movement
Texture streaming in all games
Much better modding support with customizable weapons and items, improved scripting (including better support for scripting networked games)
Lots of other improvements, optimizations and fixes
And last but not the least – we will now be able to more easily ship updated code towards all these titles more regularly!

Have you ever wondered what it's really like to be Serious Sam? Have you ever wanted to fight Mental's alien hordes with your own two hands? Well, now you can! Step into the shoes of the Earth Defense Force's greatest hero in this unique VR simulation based on Sam Stone's own log files from his time as captain of the Battlecruiser Saratoga. Experience the missions that turned Captain Stone into the legend that he is today.

Key Features at Early Access Launch:

Tons of enemies – Hordes of attacking enemies have always been a trademark of the Serious Sam series, and Serious Sam: The Last Hope continues to deliver countless terrors in just one scene, harnessing the serious power of the Serious Engine 4.5.
Tons of guns – Dual-wield miniguns, tommy guns, heavy lasers, shotguns, and an assortment of other guns. Oh, and chainsaws, too! More then 10 different weapons, including the rocket launcher, will be available from the beginning of Early Access, and Sam's lethal armory will be regularly expanded in future updates.
Planet-hopping action – Battle across treacherous Egyptian sands, in the pitch-dark under ancient ruins, and on the surface of Pladeon, the long-abandoned heart of a great industrial civilization. Early Access starts with two planets, each with four different locations, while more of Sam's adventures across the galaxy will become available in future updates.
Dick's back, too! - Featuring the voice of Serious Sam, John. J. Dick, dropping one-liners as you drop enemies.
Cry for Mummy – Defeat Mental's most powerful servants, starting with the Unholy Space Mummy of Gamma Pegasi, a huge, terrifying, undead monstrosity brought to life with dark magic - as dangerous as it is smelly! And that's just the first boss.
Hyper-immersive realism – Graphics so good that if you die in the simulation, you die in the real world!*
*Might or might not be entirely true. But we tested it and we're pretty sure it works the other way around.

Updated Features since Early Access Launch:

New Planet: Valtos - 4th planet (Valtos) with four different locations, two new weapons, 6 new enemies and 1 new boss.
New Planet: Shaanti - 3rd planet (Shaanti) with four different locations and five difficulty settings 3 new game mechanics, 9 new enemies and 1 new boss.
Oculus Touch Support - Full support for Oculus Rift and Oculus Touch on SteamVR.

nVidia VR SLI - Full support for nVidia VR SLI.
Coop Mode - Play campaign with your friend online.
