A new set of pre-alpha screenshots for Serious Sam 4 have surfaced online. Unfortunately, these screenshots are of low-quality and are a bit blurry. Still, we are pretty sure that most Serious Sam fans will be interested in them (and especially in the last one that shows lots of enemies on screen).
In Serious Sam 4, players will fight through giant hordes of relentless foes, both those that defined the franchise like Kamikaze and Kleer and those ready to become iconic in the future. Players will fight and explore your way through huge environments populated with optional objectives, secrets and deadly ambushes. However, and contrary to pretty much all latest games, this won’t be an open-world game. While the game will feature big environments, it will still be a focused, linear experience.
The game will also feature vehicles such as motorcycle, a combine or even a bulletproof popemobile so that players can drive their way through unfortunate enemy pedestrians. Moreover, the developers have also claimed that the game will support both solo and co-op modes.
Enjoy and kudos to our reader ‘Sam4Real’ for sharing them with us!

I love how many enemies Serious Sam throws at you. Hopefully this will be a game that really shows how great the Vulkan API can be at fully utilizing CPU’s.
There was a tweet from somebody who claimed that there supposedly are “100,000 enemies on screen” with Serious Sam 4. Now I don’t believe that at all personally, unless the enemies are incredibly low polygon models. I’m not sure how the Croteam can pull that amount with current day hardware. It seems unrealistic.
Obviously, fixed
Looks worse than 3
Yeah it looks like low settings for sure.
Didn’t you read the article?
yes, and the blurry quality doesn’t change the look of a game from 6 years ago.
Lmao it looks like the dev’s finally figured out how to use GPU instancing on Vulkan.
That last screenshot lol. Cant wait.
It doesnt look great, but as it has that insane quantity of enemies and coop campaign, Im in.
and that combine making a massive bloody trail in your wake!!! Count this guy in as well…..!
Damn I’d like to love this game, but those graphics are just so 10 years ago.
Oh man oh man… My damn laptop is gonna combust… Shiiiieeeeeeeeeet….
Controller gameplay?? I hope this plays just as much like a pc game as SS3 / SS classic. The game would suck if it were optimized for consoles first. And not digging the graphics either, I mean I’m not expecting miracles but those graphics look bad. SS3 easily looks better than it, makes me wonder if this is an extremely early build. I know the screenshots they uploaded on the Steam page are bullshots, but the footage I’m seeing looks like it’s from a totally different game. My hopes are being dashed right now. Still hoping this video is nothing like the final product.
