After revealing the news that it would be giving Serious Sam: The Second encounter an HD makeover, Devolver Digital has now dropped some bad news: Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter has been delayed on the Xbox 360. According to the Devolver Digital Twitter account, the XBLA version of the game has been pushed to January. No specific date was given, though we’re willing to bet it’ll be a Wednesday, which narrows it down to January 6, 13, 20 or 27.
Where are you putting your chips?

A classic “As Seen on TV” infomercial seems more than fitting for the self-parodying, Croatian-developed FPS, Serious Sam — now “more definition-ier than ever.” As with any infomercial, you must be wary of all the numbers and testimonials used. For example, we highly doubt the game runs at “6005 polygons per krundle.” We’re fairly certain this game doesn’t even feature krundles … unless Croteam has added some truly surprising new content to the upcoming HD remix.

There’s some hot footage of Serious Sam HD available on GamesTrailers (embedded past the break for your convenience) right now and, well, if you’ve played through Serious Sam before (or ever watched a Lord of the Rings trailer), this is going to be old hat to you. Still, despite the footage’s lack of completely new things to look at, it’s still a good primer for folks who have no idea what all of the fuss is about (hint: it’s the crazy, non-stop funs).

Here’s the thing — we already told you pretty much everything you need to know in the headline up top. Sure, we could expand on it a bit and tell you that the company producing Serious Sam HD, Devolver Digital, will be accepting entries via its Twitter account from July 15 to July 30. We could remind you that the producers are Gamecock and Gathering of Developers veterans Mike Wilson and Harry Miller — known for storming Ken Levine and spawning Hail to the Chimp.
We could even let you know that the only way to find out if your one-liner is going to be voiced by Serious Sam voice actor John J. Dick is to follow the aforementioned Devolver Twitter account or the game’s publisher’s account, Majesco, in “early August.” But why would we do all that?
… Dammit!

Click to embiggen.The upcoming PC and Xbox 360 re-imagination of Serious Sam: The First Encounter is more than an HD reboot of the classic Croatian FPS. Take a look at this comparison pic to see all the new enhancements made. Nearly every aspect of the game’s visuals has been changed. The textures are sharper and cleaner than before. The original’s perfectly flat lawns are now replaced with individual blades of grass — and look at that foliage, rendered with some classy Crysis-styled soft focus. Notice the dynamic shadows over our pumpkin-wearing, chainsaw-wielding friend? Now, imagine this level of detail on hundreds of on-screen enemies. It’s no wonder we’re excited to see Serious Sam make his long-awaited return.

The Xbox 360 is, of course, a great system for new first-person-shooters, but with XBLA re-releases of games like Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and Duke Nukem 3D, it’s also becoming the system of choice for classic FPS games. Now Croteam is working on an XBLA version of Serious Sam, called, unsurprisingly, Serious Sam HD.
Publisher Majesco told Eurogamer that the remake, which will “re-imagine The First Encounter,” will be available on XBLA late this summer for 1,200 Microsoft Points. The new version will include four-player online co-op.
Though we look forward to blowing up stuff with abandon, we are a bit concerned that this news could mean that the “next Serious Sam FPS game” to which Croteam’s CEO referred is actually the first one again.
Update: cdv Software Entertainment AG has confirmed to VideoGamer that the game will also be appearing on PC.
