About a month ago we told you that Croteam was hard at work on a new Serious Sam title based on a brand new graphical engine.  A new Serious Sam game was announced today, but not being developed by Croteam, instead new developer Devolver Digital.  The game is called Serious Sam HD, and it's a remake of the original on the new Serious Engine 3.  

The game will feature online cooperative play for 4 players through 12 levels.

liking the price, but no split screen? definitely would have enjoyed playing this with my wife... arg

i always thought even the first game looked fantastic even on low-end PCs, now its even more beautiful.

SOLD!

Agreed. If the wife can't play, then I won't pay!

The original allowed for 4 player split-screen!

on pc even!

and 16 player coop(on pc)

regardless of how cool that is, i can do w/o it. i can't live w/o split screen though

Only 12 areas? Or do they mean 12 missions made up of several levels each?

you've never played the original? the levels are MASSIVE and you'll take out 100's (maybe even 1000's) of enemies in each level. not to mention the absurdly huge bosses.

I've played the original, and I know they're Xbox hueg. I'm just wondering what they've defined as a "level." Would all the parts of the Thebes segment be considered a single level, or multiple levels?

Or put another way, Super Mario Bros has 8 worlds with 4 levels each. When Developer Digital says "12 levels" do they mean "3 environments with 4 levels each" or do they mean "12 environments with 4 levels each?"
