      @@slenderminion2229 The indie video was shameful. At the time it was upsetting how no FPS games were being released, and CT kept pushing out indies as if those would suffice. THAT is what should've been the focus, instead of tearing the indies to shreds. I might not like them much but they deserved better.

    Serious Sam 2 takes place in Sam's space madness induced nightmares during the astronomically long trip a rocket like that would take to get to Mental. This is 100% canon trust me.

  • @SolaisY

    Fun fact and a bit of correction about Tower of Babel:
    It wasn't based on BabilonTemple from the "alpha", but CityObeliskYard, the original third level of the Egypt episode. Then, that was eventually updated into the level "Thoth Temple" (later changed to Temple of Ptah in lore) in around the Test 2 time, which still had the big obelisk in the middle, but the layout was changed to one and the same as in Tower of Babel. As the name of the level implies, it would have followed the Metropolis level, where you enter said Temple. Compare the shape of the building you enter at the end of Metropolis and the shape of the building you exit in Tower of Babel: You will notice it's the same.
    In this Temple, you'd have gotten the Golden Statue, which Sam would have taken to the next level, only referred to "Terrain + Lava Caves"; only the Lava Caves portion survived, but it's the same as in Land of the Damned. In the Lava Caves, Sam would have dropped the Golden Statue into the lava, summoning a Sirian Spirit, who would have told Sam to go to Thebes to summon the Spaceship.
    The third level still around during TFE's "Beta" time was Karnak - Sacred Lake, likely a heavy evolution to Karnak Lake and Alley from "Alpha", similarly how much ObeliskYard have evolved into Temple of Thoth/Tower of Babel; however no map file of this ever survived. Tried to make comparisons to some TSE levels without much success, however when I asked Roman, he did mention that the entire Babilon episode was made out of cut TFE levels. Considering that many of the "numbered" levels were once a single map, later separated due to memory issues (Palenque1 - Sierra de Chiapas and Palenque2 - Valley of the Jaguar for example was a single level, as seen in the demo version), Persepolis1-2 (aka Elephant Atrium and Courtyards of Gilgamesh) is the most likely candidate of being a evolution of Karnak Sacred Lake (considering the water section in Courtyards.)
    And then SSHD's Legend of the Beast happened, which are the first 3 levels of the "Alpha" (CityEnter, CityMiddleYards, CityObeliskYard) remade in HD, making so that CityObeliskYard was technically remade twice in the history of the series (that level also got a "second round" secret, but unfinished). Or maybe third, because there's some evidence that the second half of The Citadel is also, at least in concept, a remake of the same idea (if not the level).
    Other fun fact:
    SS2's final level would have featured 6 Ugh-Zans, not 2, and only as background flair to show how huge the final battle was. To this day in the editor there are light entities on the level referred to as "Ughzan light", that were meant to activate to show the Ughzans brighter.

    I've been waiting for this for what feels like forever. Now do Serious Sam 2, we need this! You need this!
    On a serious note congrats on getting this done before your break. I can understand the feeling of burnout, it makes it almost impossible to work, and you can tell you’re on the verge of no longer feeling like it’s worth it. Feeling as if it’s an obligation, and not something you want to do. Alongside shorts, you could also always post random things on there too from your research, maybe share pictures of index games, ask questions about things you can’t find the answer for, or even just post whatever you feel like in the community tab. I’ve noticed more people using it recently, so it came to mind.
    Either way, get some rest, and figure out what you feel like doing next. Just know we’ll be waiting here for you when you return!

    Oh I didn't expect for my old gameplay video of the Palenque Demo to be used at 9:24, it's a pleasure to see that! Another great Serious Sam video to wrap up the canon Serious Sam games, a lot of things about the Second Encounter I didn't know about until this video.

  • @slenderminion2229
    @slenderminion2229 11 месяцев назад +4

    Honestly wasn't expecting this video, but I am very happy you made at least a short video on it. Second Encounter has been my favourite Sam game for a very long time, only really rivaled by Siberian Mayhem currently. I will never forget the sheer awe I felt when I finally made it to the Grand Cathedral and heard that divine soundtrack play.

    To add some of the trivia I know, the library banner art for the Steam release has Sam with sunglasses, in TSE he doesn't have them at all.
    The mortar may have worked like the SS2 greanades, so it's there? Eh.
    13:49 nice transtition.
    Kukulkan was meant to instead be the rain god Chac based on the boss theme name in the game files.
    16:49 "What a strange occurrence" perfect way to describe it xd.

Also, take as long as you want to return man! Would hate to see you keep pumping out videos with burnout, that sucks and i can relate 😬

    This one's my favourite. Like the varied locals, new monsters and guns. Some levels are gimmicky for sure, but I take it over being stuck in Egypt again. Something I also appreciated in SS4, despite it's shortcomings in a lot of other areas.
    The SS2 feature probably going to be pretty big. From my memory that game never ends with all of the different worlds it has. Haven't played it for a long time though, so maybe worth revisiting it in the future.

    Fun thing about the flamethrower the Dev misplaced the fuel tank on the gun abit backward so you can see the two hole that suppose to be the detail for connecting point between the fuel and the tube on the gun this was hided away off screen due to the 4:3 screen ratio during the 2001 era. Look like they did place it correct the during development screenshot. This also happen with the minigun belt connector in serious Sam 2 when they made the game workable with wide screen. I'm not sure why they didn't fix it in HD version they probably used the same classic gun property and don't had time or cared to fixed these small detail. Since a lot of small details were removed in HD version

    The secret rocket launcher can be collected with the oxygen bar appearing only near the surface. The trick is to simultaneously move forward and hold down the crouch/jump button when descending/ascending the lake. crouch/jump buttons also act as up/down buttons when underwater, and moving forward adds additional speed.
