PS2 Underrated Gem: Serious Sam: Next Encounter

[maksiolek]

@teh2Dgamer do you play on ps2 or emulate in pc?

[xpunkrockerr]

the best fps IN THE WORLD !!! game needs a re-make.

[EarsEat10Neon]

I'm in the year 2012 right?

[TheOtherLioyd]

@EarsEat10Neon >2012

>Complain about game being old

>Look up game SPECIFICALLY to complain about it being old

[Gameplay54XXL]

My First Egoshooter the greates game for me :D

[Dylstew2]

So a serious sam game exclusive to PS2?

It looks better then Serious sam 2 but not as good as the second encounter.

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

@Dylstew2 Gamecube and PS2, only diffirence is the online mode in the ps2 version.

[LegendSw0rd]

omfg the memories :DDDDDDD

[hewtoi]

does this game come after the 2nd encounter or does this come after serious sam II

[samuel588]

Ive got it on gamecube. I think the game is absolutelty brilliant. The story and levels are huge, and the fact its coop is awesome. The one liners that sam says, make you laugh too.

[nedimkamis]

Can you play this co op

[SAFORecruitment01]

It's under rated cause Global Star fails to prove itself, it's like seeing a LJN on a NES catridge and expecting it will be bad.

[thatdudefromafrica]

i LOVED this game me and my friend would the shit out of co op

[seriousWilinen]

I haven't played this game for 6 years, but I'm still pro. at the beginning of the video there is 4 statues, there is a treasure inside 2 of them. at 0:42 you break a statue, behind it is a button that opens a door to a room where you can find uzis (or what you like to call them)

[darkbarrage99]

@MugatuSazze I can't think of any for ps2, that is unless Will Rock was ported to ps2. other games like this for pc include the classics, doom and quake, but if you want a game more similar to sam, check out Painkiller, which combines the franticness and hoardes of serious sam with a similar movement system to the original quake. it also comes with a beautiful engine. another one to look out for is the Excessive Unreal: Batshit Insane mod for Unreal Tournament 99. look for it on youtube

[garcia368]

i remember this :D



[LilCash217]

This brings back memories...

[spellgalen808]

this looks more like "serious sam 2" then second ecounter.

[DukeofOmnitrix]

should I get this game for PS2 or Gamecube?

[teh2Dgamer]

@DukeofOmnitrix Depends on what version is easier for you to find. Someone said the GC version runs better, but do you really want to play a FPS with the GC controller? If you don't mind the controller, then it's not a big deal. Me, personally, I'd just go with the easiest one to get. The PS2 version has online play, but rarely if ever do people play it.

[Strmy100]

@eu9en3 just saying ^^

[figter0223]

does anyone know what numer this is in the series because i checked if its the first second or third encounter

[DavidTheSheep]

@figter0223 it dosent really relate to the 1st and 2nd encounters. Just the title

[MultiDannnny]

This is my all time favorite game i could not stop playin it

[tonyhawk94]

it remind me the days spending time playing this game with my friends :')

[bleesev2]

i loved next encounter, if only i still had a PS2 :(

[BroNsis1000]

guys, guess what?? They're making an hd port of this game for the pc!!

[MrPwnageindezwnage]

Oops

[MrPwnageindezwnage]

This game is legendary on PS2 and kept me occupied for hours .

[MrPwnageindezwnage]

This game is legenary on PS2 and kept me occupied for hours

[MrPwnageindezwnage]

This game was legendary on PS2

[teh2Dgamer]

@MugatuSazze Are you talking the single player mode, or the multiplayer mode? There's noting quite like it that fits very well. For multiplayer mayhem, there's Quake III, and Unreal Torunament. The Timesplitters series about as close a fit for the arcadey single player mode, but that's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

[TheIpodhuman8]

i have the xbox version, but now i want this one more

[Terminator35301]

this game owned ass when i had it

[Strmy100]

Serious Sam is a game from my country: Croatia :D

[Hiredcifo]

@Strmy100 and mine too and i am proud of it!

[AussieChriss]

Im only 10 years old and if got serious Sam the first and second encounter and Im also getting the new ones and i have the hd ones to and also have serious Sam 2.

i like playing Turok and call of duty black ops and would at war

[ETFMUSICPRODUCTION]

@AussieChriss uh, you´re so cool!!!

[kimoTHEvampire]

Is this game avaliable for pc ?

[teh2Dgamer]

@kimoTHEvampire Not this particular version, no. The rest of the Serious Sam series is though.

[kimoTHEvampire]

@teh2Dgamer Hey man .. shall i get this game for my ps2 .. or just having the 1st and 2nd encounter if enough ?/ i mean does this one actually add anything new ??

[teh2Dgamer]

@kimoTHEvampire It doesn't add much new, but if you're a fan of the series, it's definitely worth getting.

[vadikboss3]

@teh2Dgamer also serious sam advance is exclusive for GBA

[Masterlink981]

@kimoTHEvampire Yes. SeriousSite.ru is making a remake of this.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Only two words can be said about this great game. And I'll say them in the words of Sam Stone.

"YeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!"

[one0man0band]

I loved this game

[BroNsis1000]

i'm pretty sure the gamecube one has online, it's just more complicated, you need a progressive scan, gamebube broadband cords, and a broadband adapter (these items are now VERY hard to find) R.E.kivoTHEvampire, this game can be played on pc with an emulator... but i'm not sure where to find this rom, or even a good running gamecube/ps2 emulator

[CrashNicker]

Even if Climax developed this, I love how they've managed to recapture the original SS's magic. Men, I wonder why nobody still made a total conversion with the levels of this game...

[LewisLongshanks]

Although the Playstation 2 version is easily better because of the online play, I prefer Serious Sam Next Encounter on Gamecube literally because it runs at the same frame rate as a decent spec PC version of Serious Sam. Great game anyway, definitely under-rated.

[teh2Dgamer]

@LewisLongshanks Yeah, but the Gamecube's C-stick is piss for aiming. That's why I'm so glad I have an adapter that allows me to use my PS2 controller on the Gamecube.

[LewisLongshanks]

@teh2Dgamer

Eh, true enough. But I've kind of gotten used to it. Playing Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance with the controller is somewhat of a nightmare even so haha,

[teh2Dgamer]

@LewisLongshanks I assume you'd get used to it. I have Geist on the GC, but I can't remember how well the aiming works on that. Other than that, I don't think I have another first or third person shooter on the GC. all the multiplats I got on either the PS2, or the Xbox.

[LewisLongshanks]

@teh2Dgamer

Besides Turok Evolution and Timesplitters Future Perfect, I can't think of many other first person shooters I own on Gamecube otherwise off the top of my head.

[daveman247]

sometimes you just gotta love games all about the shooting, screw tactics, story and realism!

The minigun on this is awesome.

[huskyd2000]

Does the ps2 version have a 2-player co-op feature? (split-screen, not LAN?) My buddy and I are looking at getting this game for his ps2 when we finish the Conflict series. (speaking of ps2 underrated gems, the Conflict games make for a good game night when played co-op with a friend.)

[teh2Dgamer]

@huskyd2000 Yep, the game supports two player coop.

[RattyRandnums]

@IRONMAN255550 The Xbox version of Serious Sam was just a port of Serious Sam Gold (The First and Second Encounter) from the PC, Xbox's Serious Sam 2 was also a PC port. "The Next Encounter" is a console-original game and was exclusive to the Gamecube and PS2. They're all great games though.

[RattyRandnums]

@RattyRandnums Well, not *just* a port I should say, the Xbox version of Serious Sam Gold had a few enhancements like the lives system for example.

[BillyCauseyjr]

@RattyRandnums actually the Xbox version featured two exclusive levles and new textures on the shotgun and Sam had a new model.

[RattyRandnums]

@BillyCauseyjr Ahh that's right. It also had a few exclusive cut scenes. I dunno, I've got the disc just for collection purposes but when I want to play SS Xbox style I usually just play the Xbox mod for SS Gold lol.

[Babb26]

There should been an option to take off the sound of footsteps in games.

This one REALLY needs it because it's too irritating.

[AngeloProduction]

Where do you get this game?

[TheIronArmy93]

@AngeloProduction its everywhere on ebay, im thinkin of picking it up, its only about 10-15$ shipped

[steamser]

the green things kick ass

[nooneizded]

Double the gun, double the fun!

[meester16]

This game to me is a mix of Doom and Indiana Jones, lol very awsome

[WillSaint1309]

q lixo

[Wofaze]

Underrated Serious Sam game actually, I think this was one of the best shooters for ps2 by far.

[camo3112]

Jus got this game its sooooo fun. the gameplay is so fast paced its a crazy game!

[PsiOmicronNu]

There was no Xbox version of this game.

[killer1one11]

@PsiOmicronNu xbox got the full PC versions of first and second encounter. PS2 got a toned down version of the real Sam

[teh2Dgamer]

@killer1one11 Or you couls say that the PS2, and GC got a completely original SS game that added some cool things to the formula.

[killer1one11]

@teh2Dgamer doesnt this have vehicles? thats cool. dont get me wrong, im not bashing the game, but it is disappointing (the amount of enemies on screen, etc)

[KingFossilFER]

Does the PS2 version have splitscreen?

[AkumaADemoncus]

I believe so because I played this game with my brother a couple of years ago on a ps2.

[metalsnake200]

I just got this game in the mail a couple of hours ago for my GameCube, and I'm loving it! I put this right up there with TimeSplitters!

I got it for GCN because of 4-player split-screen. I'm hoping next time I go to my buddies', I can get them into it.

[5h0h1du7]

is this game available for pc?

[teh2Dgamer]

Not this particular version, but there are Serious Sam games on the PC.

[Dolphinboat09]

@5h0h1du7 yes it is its way better than this with way more blood

[BillionairzMoneyClub]

do u no where i can buy this game at its a classic

[teh2Dgamer]

try ebay, half, or amazon

[SanNin303]

has this game a cooperation modus?

[teh2Dgamer]

I believe there is.

[darkdemonwerewolf]

your way too into shooter games dude... just saying cause i've seen you review ten in a row.

[teh2Dgamer]

Review? I honestly don't consider my video descriptions to be reviews. Just short descriptions, and in the underrated gems, I explain what some people won't like about certain aspects of the game, but I don't consider it a full review.

I've just played a lot of shooters lately. I go through phases where I play certain types of games more than others.

[damemindy]

great vidoe bicose game is amezing

[Vmigo123]

Me and my friend use to coop this all the time. BEST GAME IN THE SERIOUS SAM SERIES :)

[jpd2009RV]

its a good serious sam game. but if youve played them all like me, youd know this isnt the definitive SS game in the series. id have to put bets on serious sam for the original xbox being the best in the series, as it had both first and second encounter in it. next encounter didnt have quite the co-op umph to it as SS2 and ORIG SS had

[destructuskill]

@sharkbitten741 if you hav 2 play it alot ull be able to complete it quicker :)

[DONKS181]

i love this game

[Ralkila]

split screen? how many players in split screen? the gba serious sam it is a underrated too may be , may be not , but its serious sam check it

[jpong122]

my cousin gave me this game

[AlexCoolestCP]

WHAT????:S

[sharkbitten741]

well thnx anyways. SERIOUS SAM IS ADDICTING

[sharkbitten741]

i have 2 memory cards and i tried both of them and they don't work would it have something to do with playing multiplayer?

[teh2Dgamer]

I have no idea.

[sharkbitten741]

My game never saves :( does anybody kno wut to do?

[teh2Dgamer]

Maybe it's your memory card? What kind of memory card do you have for your PS2?

[cherrypie341]

OMG I REALLY need this back ohh cant belive i sold it or i misplaced it

[LezardMan002]

i must get this for cristmas! 0_0

[popcornpoopz]

U Also Missed The Secret

[teh2Dgamer]

I'm more just showing off the gameplay than a masterful playthrough of the game here.

My job is more to get people interested in the game.

[popcornpoopz]

Have You Beaten the Atlanta Boss?

[popcornpoopz]

U Missed The Gold In The Statue At The Start :D

[popcornpoopz]

I STILL HAVE THIS GAME :D LUV IT

[cod4master08]

Im just saying: Double the Gun, double the fun baby. AMAZING Game.

[MangaPlCTURE]

got it on gamecube. didn't sell too well on both console, I guess?

[Promo88]

This looks so awesome, satisfying and fun. Gonna order a copy off Ebay. ;)

[Deader87]

I now have this for the gamecube & I just love it. This game also has an excellent soundtrack. The music really fits every level so nicely

[PassionOfTheHeist321]

i used to love serious sam! serious sam and prince of persia were my 2 favourate games ever! if only they made a new xbox 360 version, that would be awsome.

[ragderal]

theres a serious sam for the xbox 360

serious sam hd

[SchaapjeDeluxe]

serious sam hd is coming to xbox360 in fall 2009 (this winter) its releasing in 3 days for the pc. dunno about the console version, look it up!

[bloodyhell01]

Where do i get that?

[teh2Dgamer]

Check you local game stores, or check amazon, or ebay.

[HighlyExplosive4All]

I loved this game so much in the past 

i miss playing this

[weavileassassin]

i fockin luv serious sam

[MrNintendo97]

hello! this game is sooooo cool !!! (:

[add1ctedg33k]

THis game looks like doodoo, the health packs look like MDMA

[jeremyBtyler]

for some reason it reminds me of CS (not the sounds)

[TimeSplitter64]

Finially someone that straffes!!! i get so pissed off when i see other FPS gameplay vids, and the player doesnt straffe to kill... straffing is the most effective way to evade and kill

[dcom94]

i have to say this game is awesome! good gameplay

[sharingan072]

seems pretty easy.

how hard duz it get?

[teh2Dgamer]

I gets a lot crazier as time goes on. I'm not sure what difficulty I have it on in this vid.

The game is also pretty long.

[GTAfanity]

please. do you can make walkthrough?

[teh2Dgamer]

I'm not really the youtube member to talk to for walkthroughs. Try contacting elbryan42

He does extremely through walkthroughs of games. A lot better than I ever could.

[GTAfanity]

but he havent ss:ne or have? i now he have ss:xbox

[teh2Dgamer]

I know, but you could possibly request it. I'm not much of the playthrough type. I'm more the type to show gameplay, but with intention of getting people interested in the games enough to buy them.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"Double the gun? Double the fun, baby!"

[kabal5000]

serious sam is underrated because people like duke nukem more

[SonicAnnihilator]

I still think they (Climax group) should have developed TNE for PC and Xbox. Better quality, more fame and much other stuff that won't bother fans.

[obliviater24]

this game is one of the most addicting games eva.!! XD

[TheOtherLloyd]

I used to have and love this game to death on Gamecube! I need to get this and a gamecube again.

[TeHHeavyWeaponSGuy]

this game rock!!! yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!­!!!!!

[SonicAnnihilator]

Hey, teh2Dgamer, would you upload the videos of you crossing the whole game, like gamethrough? I'd love to see what more it has in Feudal China and Legendary Atlantis.

[mitchelscott]

this game is fun.

[mitchelscott]

okay i''ll get it today thanks.

[mitchelscott]

not trying to sound dumb

[mitchelscott]

hey this is only $5 at gamestop should i get it.

[teh2Dgamer]

Sure. Why not. For that price I'd definitely suggest it. Especially if you like the gameplay in the vid.

[carnaxhp]

i love this game

[NewWaveFan1]

This is some intense action wow.

[nobodysprince]

DOOM on speed!

[Cypres1]

I like when you select quit it says "Are You Serious?"

first time I saw that I laughed

[SonicAnnihilator]

IMHO, I think The Next Encounter has the best gameplay, I argue, since: It has very useful thing for points system, you earn points to achieve medals, from bronze to gold; best played on Serious tom catch ALL the golds. 2. the secret levels, 3. weapons have alt fire (only the energy gun, other weapons have different COOl types of ammo! Like ricochet bullets for dual uzis, sonic and heat seeking rockets for rocket launcher...) and much more! Just an opinion of mine, don't flame me...

[Sukkasanteri]

they so fuck everybody up whit serious sam 2 toy fuck game but hey.. this look pretty good

[rodneybrett]

Loved the Serious Sam series. They were anything but serious, which is hilarious.

[PenguinsRuleThaWorld]

This game = epic win.

'nuff said.

[227131006164893]

OMG you missed a secret, when you shoot that statue in the beginning, stand on where the statue was and press A, and a door will open and you'll get double uzi's but dum dum's will pop up

[teh2Dgamer]

Well, I'm not saying it's a perfect run, I'm just showing the gameplay here.

[Segageek]

i bought serious sam next enounter today teh 2d gamer you are the man this game is incredible its not as good as the first one but its better then alot of 360 games and for 4.99 it was a steal

[garrett186]

i remember this, played it and beat it. it was decent.

[spongebobj7]

i rated 5/5 coz this is my favaroute game.

i want it!

[daneyere07]

hey you croatian guy! tell me if serious sam next encounter i avaiable on ps2 in croatia

volio bih to znat

(ili barem za pc)

[teh2Dgamer]

It was released in Europe, but I couldn't tell you where it's available. This version wasn't developed by Croteam themselves.

[BlackAcidSteelKnight]

I hope someone has a heart to port this game to PC

They did it with Half-Life: Decay, so why not this one too. :/

[aidar95]

HL: Decay didn't ported from PS2, all levels are fully recreated by Ukrainian moders

[BlackAcidSteelKnight]

How do you know? IT WAS ported.

[aidar95]

Did you watch ending of PC version? Levels are fully recreated!

[BlackAcidSteelKnight]

Serious Sam: The Next Encounter is awesome

I was a fanatic in that game! When I learned how to play it well and properly, I always had to choose serious difficulty for every level and try my best to get so much points as I can and obtain gold medals and unlock achievements, levels and much more! (and I almost always got gold medals) Tho my version is terribly broken and I NEVER passed the Arena level. :( And glitches and the music in the game was broken as hell. Gosh...

[fun2frag]

Do you have any idea how the storyline of this game relates to the other Serious Sam games?

[teh2Dgamer]

I honestly couldn't say.

I only have The Second Encounter on the PC.

[fun2frag]

Hmmm, I think there must not be very much info out there on how this game's storyline relates to the other Serious Sam games. Anyway, I'm a fan of the Xbox version of Serious Sam and the PC version of Serious Sam 2, so I might pick this one up if I can find it for around $10 or less.

[coldkeyes]

anyone still play this game online for ps2?

[teh2Dgamer]

Not really no, but the servers are still up and running.

[Spike674]

This on my wishlist now

[teh2Dgamer]

You should also check out the PC versions in the series if you're into PC gaming.

[Spike674]

nope i like dual analogs can't stand keyboard and mouse

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"Mini-gun? Maximum pleasure."

[bgaroxas]

i still don't get how u can play fps on ps2... it's incredible...

[teh2Dgamer]

As opposed to what? The PC? Sure, a dual analog control scheme is no match for a keyboard and mouse combo, but it still works pretty well for what it is.

[Minority119]

eh, you get used to it, that's all
