Trivia / Serious Sam: Next Encounter

• What Could Have Been:
  • The game started development in 2001, and as such, it was going to have the same HUD and art style of the first game before the cartoony art style the series received in the Xbox port.
  • During the early stages of development, Sam's melee weapon was a drill inspired by the one from Total Recall (1990) before Climax replaced it with the Chainsaw.
