Update 11.11.: Nicht nur für die Switch erscheint die Collection, sondern auch für PlayStation 4 und Xbox One. Ein bisschen seltsam bleibt das es so nachgeschoben wurde.

Bei Serious Sam 2 gab es für diese Art von Collections meines Wissens nach Portierungsprobleme. 1st und 2nd laufen ja auf einer neueren Engine, und das scheint schwer zu sein SS2 darauf zu heben. Deshalb taucht SS2 nie in Collections auf.
In ‚Serious Sam Fusion 2017‘, einem PC Engine Starthub für alle Games auf Steam, steckt es ebenfalls nicht drin. Croteam meinten mal zur fehlenden ‚Fusion‘ Integration von SS2, wenn Zeit ist gehen sie ran, doch das sei zeitintensiv und stehe nicht auf der Priorisierungsliste.
Und hier die Hochzeitsankündigung zwischen Publisher Devolver und Studio Croteam aus Zagreb. (devolverdigital)

Devolver war ja schon lange der Publisher von Croteam.

Damjan Mravunac von Croteam im Interview über die Studio Geschichte und Serious Sam 4. Das hatte ich so ähnlich alles schon mal gehört.

Die Sam Formel ist „Dancing mit Enemys“.
Zum Legion System:
“The Legion System is something that allows us to create believable battlefields, Lucic explains, “The point of that system is not that you will actually fight hundreds of thousands of enemies at the same time. Of course, you could try to kill them all. You’re probably not gonna do it, but you could try.”
“The point is that it creates the atmosphere you see in big movies. If you’ve watched Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, you see these huge armies on opposing sides and they’re clashing,“that’s what the Legion System aims to achieve.”
“The enemies that are really close to you are full 3D and they interact with you but the ones that are kind of far away like sprites. Even though they are real and exist in the world and you can kill those enemies in the distance they’re not rendered in detail. That’s why your hardware performance doesn’t take a hit.”
Ja, richtig gelesen. Ein Story Trailer. Story. S T O R Y.
Considering the franchise it belongs to, we’re fairly certain that a Story Trailer is the last thing you’d expect. And yet, here we are.
For the first time in series history, Serious Sam 4 will deliver a story worthy of a movie. Penned by Jonas and Verena Kyratzes, Serious Sam 4 will take you on an exciting adventure full of defiance, badassery, absolute mayhem, and Sam’s iconic one-liners.
Oozing straight from the proverbial feather quill of Jonas and Verena Kyratzes comes a story about defiance to an evil alien god eager to bring the Earth to an end. Serious Sam 4 is aiming to become a real B-movie of games, with an over-the-top plot, memorable characters, and – most importantly – heart.
„The first thing we had to do was make sure it was a Serious Sam story,“ says Jonas Kyratzes. „We had a lot of conversations with the rest of the team where we just talked about getting the tone right. It had to be funny, but not a parody. It’s pulpy, but quite earnest.“
„The Serious Sam games all require a strategic approach to play well. They’re silly and chaotic, but they’re not dumb. So we wanted a story that was exactly like that.“ – added Verena Kyratzes.
Joining John J. Dick as Serious Sam is a cast of amazingly talented actors, including Erica Lindbeck, Joe Lynch, Zach Valenti, Simon Paisley Day, and Wally Wingert, portraying iconic veteran characters, as well as new faces.
