Serious Sam 3: BFE, Croteam‘s upcoming threequel first-person shooter, will feature four-player split-screen. The fans demanded it, so they delivered.
Up to four players can play local split-screen matches against each other. For the PC version, three players must use game pads, while the fourth player can use a mouse and keyboard (advantage, player 4).
The news comes via PC gaming site Rock, Paper, Shotgun, who exclusively revealed the feature.
“Serious Sam games are known for frantic campaign co-op and multiplayer modes so we wanted to make sure that Serious Sam 3: BFE dials up the chaos even more with local split screen co-op at launch,” said Croteam lead programmer Alen Ladavac. “Serious Sam fans have been very vocal on the Facebook fan page and the forums about split screen modes so we wanted to make sure we exceeded their expectations.”
Serious Sam 3 also offers 16-player online co-op.
Coming to “PC and console,” last we heard, Serious Sam 3 is set for a summer 2011 release. Screenshots of split-screen can be seen at the gallery.
