If you’re a fan of Croteam’s over-the-top shooter series Serious Sam then you’ve got plenty of titles to choose from when it comes to virtual reality (VR) editions. Today, the studio has announced the latest edition Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE serves as the prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter, taking place during a final struggle against arch nemesis Mental’s invading forces. Redesigned for VR, the videogame features full room-scale support, multiple locomotion settings including: teleport, instant teleport, blink teleport, or smooth movement, with or without comfort mode (snap rotation), to suit every VR player. Additionally, Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE also includes Croteam’s advanced VR controls for experienced VR gamers.
Plus there’s Serious Sam Fusion 2017 integration, which means VR evangelists and keyboard/mouse diehards with the regular version of Serious Sam 3: BFE can have cross-play multiplayer showdowns
“Wishes of the VR community are always in the back of our minds, and we’re very excited to round out our virtual reality offerings in order to provide them with the full Serious Sam experience,” said Croteam VR lead and all-around nice guy, Davor Hunski. “Our goal was to deliver intuitive, thrilling and fun VR games and, hopefully, we made that happen.”
Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE isn’t just a single-player onslaught. It features various multiplayer versus modes like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, Last Team Standing and Instant Kill. Alongside Standard Co-Op, Classic Co-Op and Coin-Op Co-Op.
Compatible with both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE will retail for $39.99 USD / £30.99 GBP / €36,99 EUR. As an introductory offer there’s a 10 percent discount on Steam dropping the price £27.89 until 16th November.
Croteam also has numerous other bundles available depending on which titles you already own, the biggest being the Croteam VR Bundle featuring five videogames including The Talos Principle VR for £73.90. That’s a saving of 51 percent off the combined price of £150.95.
