Legion system?

[Netsa]

The short clips talking about game functions has me hopeful, but did they ever actually show this "Legion" thing in action? It seems so amazing, not showing someone actually fighting it makes me just a little bit worried.

Yeah.. that scene with a thousand enemies on screen was the best thing I've seen so far, but that was no gameplay...

I love Serious Sam.. but 3 was a bit of a let down and this one so far is looking too much like SS3. I hope I don't have to reload the guns at least.

SS3 may not have been the best SS game, but I'd still be willing to buy 4 even if it's just an expansion for 3. There isn't a lot of competition right now for first-person horde shooters.

I just worry that it's not even going to be that good.

skip to 5:22 for a short demo on legion system
as far as i know this is in game footage
but i dont know how gameplay will be incorporated here
what i think is that you might have to do some objectives to unleash a human army against the alien army, opening the way, then you can proceed
or something like this

id like if you are there with tons of ammo boxes, etc and just have to fight your way through but its up to you on how many of em you kill.. if you can get past it, go ahead, if you want to kill most of them it may take an hour but go for it.

Yeah, that's similar to what they showed in today's videos. It looks like a cutscene, not real gameplay.

The idea was never for you to fight 100.000 enemies. That would get old really quick.
I'm sure someone will try, because you can kill all characters that are on the screen at that point. But it will not be the mission. You won't have to kill them, nor are you expected to.

I think GepardenK was right on what he said... It will involve a nuke?

Of course, I don't expect to wade into a thousand guys with a pump shotgun and take hours to kill everything, but... I will actually be wading into a thousand guys at some point for some reason, right? I want to see that mob up close and personal. Even in a vehicle or something.

So reading this and going off what I recall of the previous games, we can expect a big increase on the max active enemies on screen at once, just not to an absurd number like thousands or something insane like 100,000? I know that in certain levels in the previous games you would end up killing around 1-2,000 enemies on Serious difficulty, but if I had to throw a guess out there on the max active enemies on screen, I would have to say it was around 100 at most. Is it safe to assume that the legion system was put in place primarily to better manage large numbers of enemies and to raise the number of on-screen enemies on average so encounters are bigger? I was never expecting to charge in to an army of thousands on foot, but being able to fight hundreds of enemies versus the 50-100 you're fighting at any given time in SS3 would be awesome.

For some reason, yeah. That's about all I can say at this point.

Good enough for me. Can't wait for the release.
