Serious Sam Fusion on Xbox One/PS4?

[SkullByte]

Does anyone know if Serious Sam Fusion will ever make it to consoles someday? The idea itself, of all the latest Serious Sam games built within a single game, sounds like a really good concept.

I was hoping to perhaps see the previous Serious Sam games backwards compatible on the Xbox One some day, but having them all in a single game would seem a lot better.

No one knows, not even the dev team. My only guess is it'll probaly happen in about 2.5 years minimum, but thats if they're even planning it on consoles in the first place. Hell they may be ignoring them (since im just entirely making up theories with no evidence)

Considering how much PS3 Sam ♥♥♥♥♥♥ things, I hope not.

Why? Though I prefer the PC versions of Serious Sam, the Serious Sam titles have always on been on consoles... Personally I never played Serious Sam 3 on the PS3, but on the Xbox 360 it played quite nicely. Definitely wouldn't want to see Croteam stop porting their titles to consoles

PS3 Sam is the reason for a lot of the visual issues in BFE. The project was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and unless they can do it without a publisher breathing down their necks, and with hardware that isn't bottlenecked as ♥♥♥♥, I really don't think it should happen.

They ported The Talos Principle to the PS4, why couldn't they do the same with Serious Sam, but on both consoles perhaps?

[that's what she said]

The question is why YOU would need it anyway?

I understand why devs could consider porting the game in future - to expand their playerbase, and it makes sense to release Fusion as retail 60 bucks title when they will finish remastering all three games in year or two. Could be easily a smash hit - 3in1 pack of big games, could be even sold at retail as full priced title.

But you already have everything consoles can possibly offer and a lot more.

Talos is new IP and it's a slow puzzle game so it made sense to release everywhere - it doesn't have already existing playerbase.
On the other hand there is more than 3 millions of Serious Sam players on PC alone which makes PC games a priority for both fusion and next title. Fusion could be very profitable in a long term as it builds trust to developer. And playerbase which feels safe will be more likely buying future games while directly and indirectly expanding awareness for titles and developer (and that's the important part in oversaturated industry).

Nicely? Seriously? I played TFE, TSE and BFE on my Xbox 360, and it was terrible. Very long downloads, very bad textures, very bad aiming etc. Don't know, may be that's a matter of taste or you are just mazochist.

Fair enough, though my reasoning of wanting it on consoles is simply because I enjoy playing Serious Sam on the console. It's not a must for me, but it is for some others out there. Especially the ones who don't own a decent PC

Sure the textures weren't the best, but the games themselves overall were playable. I still had just as much fun as I do on the PC version.

Hah, I was one of this people without decent PC. I bought bundle of Serious Sams on my Xbox because my PC was too old to run SS3 and HD versions of classic encounters. And I had great experience, until I got decent PC.

It was the same for me. When I was younger, all I had was the Xbox versions of Serious Sam. So even if I don't need a console version, I still would greatly appreciate one.

Considering that PS4 and Xbox One work just like PCs: full x86_64 architecture and run an actual AMD video card, it may be possible.

Possible, yes. Worth it? Probably not.

Not worth it since using a gamepad to play Serious Sam is like suiciding. There are some people who may like to play it, and then ragequit right after (like most youtubers did).

Next Encounter is okay with a controller, but then, it was designed for a controller. That kinda helps matters.
