Just a quick heads-up: Serious Sam HD can support 16 players in Co-Op, so there should be plenty of room! :D

Hmmm, is there a free HD patch for folks who own the original game discs by chance?

I always thought SS looked great when I played it in college. Is the HD much of an upgrade?

Unfortunately no, there is no patch. The Serious Sam HD games are different games entirely. You can get Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter for $7.50 on Steam right now.



As for if it's a worthwhile upgrade: It looks nicer, it's on par with Serious Sam 2. That's about it.

As in different enemies, levels, story, etc.?

EDIT: nevermind, I see from the trailer that it is the same game...

Still, I'd be down for getting in on a 4 pack if someone is interested.

No, they're remakes of the original games, I was just meaning that they were separate items. (You can get the originals on Steam as well.)

I have started the game. The settings are on default (infinite amount of lives) and the map is Hatshepsut (the first one).

Me, YoshiEgg25, and some random pubbers have decimated the Co-Op campaign. If anyone would like to join, I'm going to start another Co-Op session tomorrow.

"Decimated" is putting it lightly. :D
