- Featured Mod – Serious Sam Fusion - Plastic Patrol 2: Replastered - 13 August 2019

By now, we really hope you played through Red Day: Episode One, an amazing mod that was the star of our first Mod Feature back in May. We also believe it’s about time for another one. We’ve played some of them recently and decided that summertime is perfect to play through Plastic Patrol 2: Replastered. This custom campaign mode tells the story about the Green Army and a fight to save their home. Some of the highlights of this really cool mod include six unique maps that you can play through solo or with friends, along with appropriate weapon mods, enemies and everything you’d expect from such a mod. There’s even a decent plane mission, something we’d never expect from a Serious Sam mod. The mod was made by the powerful Pan, with help by Mauritsio, Urban…
- Featured Mod of the Month – Red Day: Episode One - 21 May 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33025992%2F7ef6d49e0f65afcd24d0faba34a7ca8a4571ed67.jpg Hey everyone! Check out this epic Serious Sam Fusion mod – Red Day: Episode One. It's a custom campaign mod telling a story about Sam's war against the Mental forces in Russia. The highlight of this Serious Sam Fusion mod is a three-part, 50-minute long campaign set in a typical Russian provincial city Muhogradsk. The Red Day campaing is full of chaos and crazy arena-style action spaning over three custom levels, with cutscenes and everything you'd expect from a full-blown campaign. Oh, and there's a brand new soundtrack, as well so make sure you check it out on Steam and let us know what you think. Massive thanks to the powerful Dead_Kadath for making this mod happen. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1511106169 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ…

It's that time of the year again, the time of Fusion updates. This time, we're bringing to you a relatively small update focusing mostly on bug fixes and tweaks, rather than new features, engines and other huge changes that were introduced several months ago. Guided by our community we have made huge progress in providing you with a stable, up-to-date Serious Sam experience, and Fusion is at its peak right now. It's THE way to play all supported Serious Sam games. The changelog is below: fixed an issue where the player would stop moving after using the weapon wheel added various missing translations fixed some navigation issues in Karnak (TFE) fixed an issue where the menu palette would not change in some cases after leaving multiplayer games fixed an is…
- Whoah! Serious Sam is 18 years old - 21 March 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33025992%2F2cd3cc0ede390b7a42ac854bf289f593a9ba1dfe.jpg Serious Sam is 18 years old today. It was on March 21st, 2001 that Serious Sam: The First Encounter hit the shelves. Quite literally, as digital distribution was still a distant future back then. We were young, super passionate and, after a successful tech test launched in the summer of 2000, confident that Serious Sam would resonate well with the gaming community. Turns out, we were right. Serious Sam: The First Encounter caused quite a stir in the gaming community, won dozens of awards (including Gamespot's Game of the Year) and laid the foundation of everything Croteam is today. Fast forward 18 years later and Serious Sam got numerous sequels, spin-offs and remasters on most platforms. Hell, we even sent Sam to virtual reality and as with everything else - had tons…
- Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter update 408305 is live now - 6 December 2018
Hey guys. We have another update for you. This one is not that big in size, but fixes some of the issues that were missed in the latest patch. We have also realized that some of you have been experienced a performance drop after the last patch. This was due to the new system we use for shadows and the higher shadow resolution. This was readjusted so you should see a performance boost on higher settings now. The update is a part of the Fusion update of the same number, so please find the full changelog by following the link below: https://steamcommunity.com/app/564310/discussions/0/1745605598704090943/
