It has multiplayer and split-screen, have not actually checked what types of MP options there are however.
(Dedicated servers too and a map editor is available, unsure if the editor is actually released yet.)
At the 7th level currently, I guess this is around halfway trough the game, takes 30 - 45 minutes per map but I am playing at a higher difficulty level.
Guys, don't be scared off by our "recommended" system...
Serious Engine can scale ~10x! Meaning, it can run fine on low-end CPUs and GPUs, and at the same time, it can really step on high-end systems.
So, no you don't need ATI 5870 or NV 580 GTX to play this game fine. These are for ULTRA quality settings. And the game looks and plays really nice on MEDIUM settings.
My take would be that LOWEST setting is for casual players that doesn't even know how slow rig they have. Game will work fine, but I wouldn't recommend it for graphics festival.
Generally, you should be fine with NV 9800 GTX or ATI 4870 class GPUs. That's medium.
Lowest setting is for HW like NV 9400/9500 and ATI 2400/3400.
LOW setting is for NV 8600 and ATI 3670. And believe me, low quality looks much(!) nicer than lowest.
As for HIGH settings, you should be fine with NV 280/460 or ATI 6850.
And no, we do not support ("officially") Intel's integrated GPUs. I don't even know whether the game will run at all. Mostly because of drivers. And of course, performance is other issue. Sorry.
CPUs? ~2 GHz dual-core is for LOW. ~2.4 GHz is medium. ~2.8 quad-core is for high quality and 3.2+ quads are ultra.

I don't know how it works exactly but it uses CEG, still that hasn't been much of a problem so far, might take a day or two extra at worst.
Well, SS HD TSE was the hardest Steam game to crack back in the day, and there still isn't a scene release available (and back then the scene was pretty active, unlike now). Theta cracked it eventually, but I think they even had to release a crackfix at some point, which means they found it very hard as well.
Coupled with the believes of Croteam, as expressed in their forums, that it's been "proven" that everyone that says "DRM is evil!" in reality is just a filthy pirate who is looking to play games for free and is whining so that companies don't properly secure their games so that he can steal them trouble free, it's clear they put more effort than most companies in protecting their games.

Some more images, most from the last map I completed, was a really hectic level, not much to see in these images however since I was kinda busy surviving and didn't think much of taking screenshots of the various parts of the map but it was fun, if a bit chaotic at times.
There are some areas like when underground that the lighting can be a bit flat but the textures are often high quality and the advanced render techniques are pretty amazing even with DX9, even uses relief mapping in some areas if you change the parallax quality option.
(Even on ultra preset various options set to optimal/optimized instead of quality which for parallax as a example has the settings of off, parallax, steep parallax and relief mapping.)
Lots of stuff is also destructible but it'll take a while until you get explosive based weapons and the ammunition is fairly limited also.
(The devastator railgun/shotgun hybrid for example, had 20 ammo at most for it but the shots pierce trough most any smaller enemy and it's only second to the rocket launcher in terms of firepower - of the weapons I currently have - so I relied on it a lot for mass clearing when enemies rush at you in rows.)
Early on the maps are a bit more gray and city environment based but it progresses to other locations.
Levels are also quite big and open ended, exploring all of it would probably take a hour or longer per level which is very neat, so far the secrets have been mostly additional items but now and again something more spectacular happens.
Not that many enemy variants but it seems fairly balanced and they fit, most of the traditional Serious Sam 1 foes are back although with the more realistic appearance for their design, finishing moves are also possible on most of these as that other video showed though it's not available on every enemy.
Besides even the beheaded soldiers give a solid challenge when there's a hundred of them in a single room.
(I'll take a screen of that if I can.)
Weapons are also mostly the same but with a assault rifle added in along with the devastator (Kinda replaces the grenade launcher come to think of it.) and that sledge hammer / melee finisher addition instead of a combat knife.
(Pistols also require ammo here and can't be dual wielded.)
It looks great in motion anyway and it's really fun, MP is probably even better with some crazier settings and modes available, there's more characters to choose from as well.
Story is pretty light as expected, you know how it ends and what the goal is relatively early on (You know it when you view the intro movie which plays before the main menu opens.) but the comments and remarks are pretty funny to hear.
(Calling a "scrapjack" doomed made me laugh a bit, seems like it's not only the player community whom thinks they're based on the mancubus ID Software created.)
Apparently, most of the songs are made by Damjan Mravunac who is in an alternative metal band from Croatia, called Prophaganda (a song from them HERE). There are some songs made by Undercode too, but I don't know exactly which ones. Somebody from that thread said that the fight music is made by them, probably in collaboration with Damjan.
The song heard in the launch trailer is made entirely by him. It's called Hero and it plays on the credits. There's also a version without vocals in the game, probably played in one of the levels.
What amazes me is that both Damjan and somebody from Undercode posted in that thread explaining how things were with the soundtrack for the SS3 and thanking people. Awesome!
Edit: Also, the full soundtrack is available in Serious.Sam.3.BFE.Serious.Digital.Edition.STEAM.UNLOCKED-ALI213. And about that... Croteam seems to be just as good as CDProjekt when it comes to the editions of their games. They included pretty much what they could in that edition.

Each new weapon marks a leap upwards in the scale of its increasingly absurd onslaught of enemies and crumbling scenery, and each time you’ll think “good grief, this is ridiculous. There’s no way it can top this.” But it does. It always does.
It is, it’s hard to deny, ‘just’ Serious Sam remade with modern technology: the same key setting (Egypt), mostly the same weapons, mostly the same enemies. In theory it’s a prequel to the first game, in practice it’s a retread. But the modern technology is the key here: this is not Halo 1 re-released with more pixels, as those Xbox types are currently thrilling to. This is what Serious Sam would have been like were it made for a 2011 PC in the first place. It is gorgeous, it is highly destructible, its levels are vast and open and multi-tier and hold thousands of monsters and despite all that can last a good hour before needing to show you a loading screen. It’s thoroughly a PC game too, with more graphics options than you can count, massive draw distances and an Ultra mode that’ll bring all but the most powerful graphics card to its knees.
Not that this is a skill-free game – far from it, especially if you rack up the difficulty. Your hands will learn the dance of efficient death, the darting, the circling, the twitch-aiming, the sudden sprints towards health and ammo packs. It’s a discipline, even if making 30 headless men simultaneously explode into a shower of blood and bits seems about as disciplined as a food fight in an asylum.
So, let’s instead be delighted by Serious Sam 3: it doesn’t get lost in its own joke, it is nothing short of magnificent in its destruction and its technology and it is absolutely, 100% dumb. It is sad, in a way, that it took Serious Sam coming back and doing more or less the same thing, but bigger, louder, crazier, to remind us once again of why we really play first-person shooters, and what wonderful, ridiculous sights and sensation games which are about placing a reticule over things and pressing fire can achieve if only they were honest about their own, gloriously stupid, testosteroneal nature. We don’t seem capable of learning Sam’s lesson for long – but, as before, it’s one you can be damn sure you’ll love hearing. Essential, glorious, braindead, monstrous: Sam as he ever was, and quite frankly we need him more now than ever.

yesterday went to my store near my living place for buying one of them...and...NONE of these games at all, they have only SR3, shit
WTF, you can't DL and can't buy...^^"
I doubt it, but anyone bought a RUS key for this?
There are some on ebay for like 20€. And on the known cdkey sites it's not in stock or price is too high.
WOuld only like to know, if you need VPN only for activation, and if you get more than russian language after it on Steam?
