While other genres warp beyond recognition, there is something solid about the first-person shooter that makes it as dependable as a nice big AK-47. Maybe it s the gung-ho simplicity – look down a barrel and pull the trigger. It’s as fun to fire a double-barrelled shotgun from an early 90s FPS as the slick shotties of today. For that reason, this list runs the gamut from genre classics to those released in the last year. There’s bound to be something for you in this, our list of the best 50 FPS games on PC. Let s lock and/or load. (more…) Featured Mod – Serious Sam Fusion - Plastic Patrol 2: ReplasteredAug 13, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33025992/65025a5a0594884f0f74ee986c01024272efe9c8.jpg Hey everyone! By now, we really hope you played through Red Day: Episode One, an amazing mod that was the star of our first Mod Feature back in May. We also believe it’s about time for another one. We’ve played some of them recently and decided that summertime is perfect to play through Plastic Patrol 2: Replastered. This custom campaign mode tells the story about the Green Army and a fight to save their home. Some of the highlights of this really cool mod include six unique maps that you can play through solo or with friends, along with appropriate weapon mods, enemies and everything you’d expect from such a mod. There’s even a decent plane mission, something we’d never expect from a Serious Sam mod. The mod was made by the powerful Pan, with help by Mauritsio, UrbanDeHuman, and Soulmyr, so we’re sending massive props their way. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1497358886 NOTE: To play the mod you'll need to own SSHD: The First Encounter, SSHD: The Second Encounter and SS3: BFE. Are you making Serious Sam or The Talos Principle mods yourself? Let us know, we'd love to check them out. For all things Serious Sam hit Mr. Stone up on Twitter and Facebook.

There are no other changes in the latest version. Cheers, Danny on behalf of CroteamFeatured Mod of the Month – Red Day: Episode OneMay 21, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33025992/7ef6d49e0f65afcd24d0faba34a7ca8a4571ed67.jpg Hey everyone! Check out this epic Serious Sam Fusion mod – Red Day: Episode One. It's a custom campaign mod telling a story about Sam's war against the Mental forces in Russia. The highlight of this Serious Sam Fusion mod is a three-part, 50-minute long campaign set in a typical Russian provincial city Muhogradsk. The Red Day campaing is full of chaos and crazy arena-style action spaning over three custom levels, with cutscenes and everything you'd expect from a full-blown campaign. Oh, and there's a brand new soundtrack, as well so make sure you check it out on Steam and let us know what you think. Massive thanks to the powerful Dead_Kadath for making this mod happen. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1511106169 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ6DMrbd5wk NOTE: To play the mod you'll need to own SSHD: The First Encounter, SSHD: The Second Encounter, Legend of the Beast, SS3: BFE and SS3: BFE Jewel of the Nile. Our community has always been big on modifying Serious Sam and The Talos Principle to their liking, so we thought it's long overdue giving them mad props for all the creative work they do. This is why we have decided to periodically feature some of those mods on our channels and get more people in on the action. Are you making Serious Sam or The Talos Principle mods yourself? Let us know, we'd love to check them out. For all things Serious Sam hit Mr. Stone up on Twitter and Facebook.

It's that time of the year again, the time of Fusion updates. This time, we're bringing to you a relatively small update focusing mostly on bug fixes and tweaks, rather than new features, engines and other huge changes that were introduced several months ago. Guided by our community we have made huge progress in providing you with a stable, up-to-date Serious Sam experience, and Fusion is at its peak right now. It's THE way to play all supported Serious Sam games. The changelog is below: fixed an issue where the player would stop moving after using the weapon wheel added various missing translations fixed some navigation issues in Karnak (TFE) fixed an issue where the menu palette would not change in some cases after leaving multiplayer games fixed an issue with the weapon wheel becoming unusable after finishing a level fixed an issue with the text overlapping on certain screens VR FPS counters will no longer be shown in non-VR games fixed an issue with client aiming being off in 3rd person in multiplayer newer Nvidia Quadro GPU's should no longer be marked as not compatible by mistake rebaked visibility on all SSHD and Sam 3 levels fixed an issue where the serious bomb would not disappear from the inventory upon finishing the level fixed an issue where killing certain enemies would cause crashes in rare instances the game no longer has issues starting-up on lower end dual-core CPU systems the weapon wheel should now work when using custom button layouts on a gamepad various other tweaks and performance/stability fixes As ever, in case you are having issues with this update, you can roll back to the previous one: locate the game in the Steam's "Library" panel right click and invoke "Properties" select the "Betas" tab choose "previousversion" Note – After downloading this patch, it is most likely that many custom maps will crash when played. The authors of these maps can fix this by rebaking the visibility on their maps and updating their workshop items. We apologize for the inconvenience. Player Feedback We value your input, and we want you to reach out to us with all feedback. For general thoughts and ideas, please use the General section of this message board. Should you encounter any issues or bugs, please report them on the Tech & Support subforum, along with your game log (located in the game installation folder) and a detailed description of the issue. Stay Serious! Danny, on behalf of Croteam.Whoah! Serious Sam is 18 years oldMar 21, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33025992/2cd3cc0ede390b7a42ac854bf289f593a9ba1dfe.jpg Serious Sam is 18 years old today. It was on March 21st, 2001 that Serious Sam: The First Encounter hit the shelves. Quite literally, as digital distribution was still a distant future back then. We were young, super passionate and, after a successful tech test launched in the summer of 2000, confident that Serious Sam would resonate well with the gaming community. Turns out, we were right. Serious Sam: The First Encounter caused quite a stir in the gaming community, won dozens of awards (including Gamespot's Game of the Year) and laid the foundation of everything Croteam is today. Fast forward 18 years later and Serious Sam got numerous sequels, spin-offs and remasters on most platforms. Hell, we even sent Sam to virtual reality and as with everything else - had tons of fun doing so. Even though he's 18 years old (and legally allowed to buy a beer here in Croatia, finally), Sam's still going strong and we can't wait to take you on another journey of chaos and mayhem with Serious Sam 4. Until then, we'll raise a glass (of aforementioned beer) in Sam's name and celebrate all of you for being Seriously awesome.
