No jokes allowed through here.

<span class="bold">Serious Sam's Bogus Detour</span>, a frantic top-down shooter with chaotic co-op and versus modes, is coming soon, DRM-free, to GOG.com.

Sam is not joking around, as the monsters littering the beautiful pixelated locales of the Mediterranean are about to find out. Team up with friends to tackle the campaign and face the Survival challenges in co-op or turn your miniguns against each other in Versus mode - Bogus Detour is pure, breathless fun any way you slice it.

Watch the trailer.

Matruchus: Edit: Also any news on what the price is going to be? I loved Hammerwatch so this is definitely on my mustbuy list.
$15.

fronzelneekburm: Figures that the only Serious Sam game that gets a release here is one that Scroteam apparently has nothing to do with. A shame, I would have loved to buy the rest of the series here.
Indeed. I'd rather see the rest of the series proper and the remakes over any of the spinoffs.

Good to hear, I've been looking forward to this one.

Whoops! I've always loved top-down shooters, but judging by the trailer, this game is too fast for me. The days when I had fast enough reflexes are looong gone. :-]

In the pic, is Sam coming from the Stargate?

MaxFulvus: Croteam are like RWS, pro-Steam devs who treat drm-free customers as second class gamers.
I think it has far more to do with their limited resources. A company needs to put bread on the table before anything else. That means releasing your products to the biggest audience as possible. If they could release their entire catalog on GOG without drawing resources from other projects, I'm sure they would do just that.

Props for the Bill & Ted style title, but nothing else about this appeals to me :P

I'd much rather have Serious Sam 2...

Some indie devs with far less ressources released their games both on Steam & GOG. I think they are reluctant to open their games to a drm-free audience.

Removing DRM should hardly be time consuming or challenging for the original developer with the source code.

I don't think anyone expects them to add 4 or the VR re-releases of First/Second Encounter but, not releasing 2 and 3 (12 and 6 years old respectively) feels like a clear lack of caring about DRM-free customers.

Indeed, indie developers (like Lars Doucet with Defender's Quest) can make universal builds for their games allowing a single build to run on both GOG and Steam. Croteam decided their resources were better put to use adding extra DRM to their Steam releases.

But on topic, I am glad that this game is coming here, as I really enjoyed Hammerwatch. :-)

I think it's more like Team17 than RWS. They just don't have the resources to work outside of Steamworks. Observe Worms Reloaded's DRM-Free release without multiplayer, with an eternal "coming soon." It isn't the DRM removal, it's the work required to restore full functionality.

Maybe with Galaxy we'll see the rest of the library come out though?

Great. How about adding the other serious sam games too.
Posted June 15, 2017
So.............where is Serious Sam 2?

Kinda not caring about this release, we want Serious Sam 2 GOG.

The name of this game is so fitting, its nothing but a detour to releasing Serious Sam 2 on GOG DRM FREE.
