Serious Engine is finally dead

[Terepin]

To which I say: good f*cking riddance! That thing was abused in Serious Sam 4 so much it wasn't even funny. I don't think that game will ever run properly.

Let's hope that TTP2 won't suffer from classic UE issues, such as shader compilation stuttering, traversal stuttering, atrocious CPU bottleneck and lack of support for 8 kHz polling rate.

But I'm gonna miss the general jankiness (best abused for some jumps) of it, tho. :((((

We will get rid of an engine full of problems and have to deal with another engine full of problems. I think the game was announced at a Sony conference, so it is very likely that the optimization will be for the PS5 and we will see that same sorry story where the game runs like ♥♥♥♥ even on PCs 5x more powerful than a PS5.

I liked Serious engine, Talos was running flawlessly on ultra.

Its such a shame though. The engine was riding high until serious sam 4. Serious sam 3 still looks really good and serious sam fusion showcased how well it can be optimized. Talos princible looked super good as well. Oh well. Another loss to unreal engine.
As long as it doesnt look like an asset flip like so many others. i have faith in croteam to push the engine. Hell, itd be amazing if they forked it into a new serious engine

You have no idea what great performance even is.

Even though i dont like doom eternal, it will MOG every game for the rest of time in terms of optimization until id puts out another.

You are godd*mn right.

EDIT: Seriously??? You are censoring this word?!

Same here, it's so janky but flawless playability is just gold. The allowance of some weird jumps to create unintended solutions is also super fun.

The fact that you are defending the worst secrets ever conceived in the series's history makes me wanna puke.

I agree, Serious(poo)engine needs a well deserved EXECUTION. Long live UE5!
Even if this means less mods, I'm all here for it since most mods for serious sam mods are awful. Hell, even if this means ZERO mod support, I will support UE5!
