Serious Sam Gets A Fully Ray Traced Upgrade! Graphics Comparison, Performance + More

The core texture and geometry artwork didn't change, hence raytracing is largely useless.

tbh I prefer the old one. rt looks better on video but original is much more playable.
I like old games because I actually can see where are the powerups and enemies and can focus on the core gameplay unlike the modern games where you cant see sht in the super duper details and shadows that turns them to a find the object game

This game with Raytrancing like a childhood memory.

Sadly they took away a lot of the coloring that was awesome and looks a bit washed out other areas look fantastic and amazing and the shadows. And the other stuff were just outstanding but they screwed up on a lot of things. I like the original I play the original like the colors the rich colors and darkness. That are seaable not pitch block areas. I don't like that for me it's stupid. I like to see a game that I'm playing. I don't like pitch blackness and a flashlight. Those are dumb things that dumb people create that are annoying in a game

Seriously i would pay good money for a Serious Sam the first and second encounter to be remastered in Unreal Engine with ray tracing.

The flashlight doesn't work for me, I can't even bind the key, I've pressed all the buttons but it doesn't work

Curious if they ever implemented DLSS and FSR. This mod looks SUPER heavy unfortunately. Might work better when I get my next computer in a few years.

yeah but WHY NOT implement the ray tracing to the HD version 2009 as well ???

why do the metallic surfaces look all grainy, looks bad

Honestly for a 2001 game, the graphics look pretty good compared to games like GTA 3.

The Bloom is too insane you can't even see the heart powerup anymore, geez...

The original looks better. Those indoors completely breaks the game. BSP and tricks just works better at fraction of the required performance

Honestly, always hated light flares, like Sam has cameras with many lenses instead of eyes.

Noice😁

how to play this version of the game?

60 fps in shooter isn't serious! We are already used to 100 at least, 144 is the best. Obviously DLSS technology is needed

will there be a gtx version

The modder did a good Job. And now i want the same for Dark Messiah of Might&Magic.

THIS is what I imagined "next gen" gaming to be for the past 20 years, and it's crazy that this is mostly being done more effectively for older games... It's crazy how behind we were lagging and how we accepted it for this long

AMD refuses to enable Ray Tracing capability on driver updates for older generations of chips, even recent ones from 2019 like Ryzen 3000 generation... Meanwhile, Nvidia is prodiving driver updates that enable Ray Tracing for GPU's as old as 1060/1070/1080 generation from 2016.... Really shows you how awful AMD treats their own customers... Never again wasting money on anything from this pathetic company

they should be hired

Overdone.

This concerned me that it might fried my PC.
Because this is a "serious" level awesome.

They've now added DLSS support and I'd love to see how that improves performance in certain scenes.

RTX выглядит как говно! Sam 2001 выглядит намного лучше !

Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR support were added to the game in the last update.
It runs great now.

You forgot mention to poeple to lock your FPS-s to your display specification.
If your TV or monitor is 60hz there is no usage of gaming aspect to play 100fps on TV that can show you only 60...
Its just overcook your GPU to maximum temperature with no need...
Why play 120 fps on monitor 60fps with 85c temperature.
When you can play 60fps on monitor 60fps with 65c to 70c temperature!
That is very important!
How this will go on GTX 1060 ?

This light path tracing needs to be added to the Original Resident Evil series! (1,2 and 3)

A dream come true for the old serious editor map makers.

epic

Serious Sam it might be the only reason i wanna buy an rtx.....

How do I turn on Ray Tracing??

I hate how intensive ray tracing is, I'd love for every game new and old to have this kind of lighting without all the strain it puts on hardware.

Wow. That's some serious work

I thought it was cute and I was planning on trying it out until I saw that you were running on a 3090

Serious Sam The Definitive Encounter 😃😃😃😃

Rtx players be like

The lack of lens flare is a no go forme

I feel the HD remakes almost win. What let's it down is they made the shotgun completely ineffectual which is a problem since you use that weapon the most in the games.

Literally just ss tfe:hd but more bright

And ofc, the foremost authority on sucking Nvidia's ray-traced D brings us this gem... Everything is 100% chrome surface or GTFO...

Alex should do a Review of Wolfeinstan and maybe ask relative's how factual it is ...

this game is so pretty even without the path traced GI

Sounds like it's desperately in need of an DLSS-style upscaler.

If doom slayer was a more serious duke nukem
Serious sam is therefore alive

Why was it based on the original version and not on the HD Remake ?
