🌍️ Wikipedia :
Serious Sam: The First Encounter is a first-person shooter video game developed by Croteam and originally published by Gathering of Developers, first released on Microsoft Windows on 21 March 2001. It had been in development since 1996 and had videos showing its early gameplay in 2000. The First Encounter was originally developed by Croteam as a demonstrator for their engine, which was why some countries saw its initial release priced at less than half the price of other games in the genre. This game was followed by a sequel, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, released eleven months later.
The series follows the adventures of protagonist Sam "Serious" Stone and his fight against the forces of the notorious extraterrestrial overlord Mental, who seeks to destroy humanity. Sam travels through various locations in Ancient Egypt, fighting hordes of Mental's army with a wide arsenal of weapons including shotguns, a minigun, a rocket launcher, and a high-powered portable cannon.
Both The First Encounter and The Second Encounter were combined into one game and ported to the Xbox. High-definition remakes of both episodes were released in 2009 and 2010 on Microsoft Windows, and were later ported to the Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One video game consoles.
Gameplay
Serious Sam: The First Encounter's gameplay consists almost entirely of the player attempting to defeat dozens of enemies at a time in wide open arena-like areas and thus is relatively simple. The game's story establishes the reasons and methods for how the player travels from chapter to chapter through the game's menu system, a brain implant called NETRISCA that also provides hints, descriptions of enemy types, and information on weapons the player collects. Enemies spawn frequently and attack in large waves from across the game map, and the player is meant to dodge their projectiles and physical attacks by jumping and strafing rather than by taking cover. Health and armor are non-regenerative on all difficulty levels except for the easiest and instead are replenished with health and armor packs which are littered throughout the game. Available health and armor integrity are represented by percentage numbers on the screen. The combat is high-paced and frenetic, with each level consisting of a series of elaborate arenas, in which the player will defeat a set number of re-spawning enemies before proceeding to the next. Enemies range from "Beheaded", which are normal soldiers armed with rocket launchers and energy weapons, to "Beheaded Kamikazes" who charge at the player while screaming loudly until they explode, to more powerful alien foes such as charging bulls, alien robots with rockets and miniguns, and creatures made of lava that can split themselves into smaller enemies upon death.
The player can carry a number of weapons such as twin revolvers with unlimited ammo, shotguns, a minigun, a rocket launcher, a quad laser gun, and a cannon that can kill multiple enemies at a time. Ammunition is scattered across levels that the player must pick up to reload, but players can also explore the level's environments to find secret items including more health, ammo, and weapons that they might otherwise only find later in the game. Unfortunately, some items are planted as bait for traps and may trigger a spawn of more enemies when the player collects them.
The game features cooperative gameplay through a split-screen mode and via the internet.
Plot
In ancient times, Earth was involved in a massive conflict between Mental, an evil extraterrestrial being who seeks to conquer all life in the universe, and the Sirians, a technologically advanced race of humanoid aliens. Although the Sirians were ultimately defeated, they left behind remnants of their advanced technology, which were later discovered by modern humans at the dawn of the 21st century and used to develop the means for human civilization to explore other galaxies and establish many interstellar colonies. In the 22nd century, Mental suddenly reappears and leads his vast army of aliens from planet to planet, destroying every colony until he finally reaches Earth. As a last resort, humanity's leaders decide to use the "Time-Lock", an ancient Sirian artifact that contains the power to send a single person back to a chosen point in time. Sam "Serious" Stone, a soldier whose bravery in fighting the aliens has made him a living symbol of human resistance, is recruited to go back in time to when Mental was fighting the Sirians in the hope that he might find a way to eliminate Mental and change the course of history.
As the game opens, Sam appears in Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs, guided by an AI called NETRISCA. He visits several locations, including the Valley of the Kings, to collect religious icons representing the four elements of Water, Earth, Air, and Fire while battling hordes of aliens sent by Mental to stop him. He then travels to the abandoned city of Memphis, where he finds a fifth relic, the icon of Amon-Ra, in the Temple of Ptah. NETRISCA then instructs him to go to Thebes, which results in a long and difficult trek through the desert during which Sam is forced to dump most of his ammo in order to lighten his load.
At Thebes, Sam works his way through the city until he reaches a sanctuary where he manages to activate a hidden Sirian communicator concealed in an obelisk in the heart of Luxor, which summons a Sirian starship to Earth from deep space. Sam rushes to the Great Pyramids of Giza in order to rendezvous with the starship, only to be cornered by Mental's top general and most powerful warrior, Ugh Zan III. After defeating the giant by using the Sirian technology built into the pyramids to weaken him, Sam then teleports himself onto the starship, dubbed the "SSS Centerprice". He finds a payphone and leaves a message for Mental telling him that he has a "special delivery package" for him and sets a course to Sirius, the Sirian homeworld. The story ends with Sam breaking the fourth wall by telling the player that its "bedtime" as the game indicates that his story will continue.

Cette fois, les humains disposent d'une arme secrète qui leur a été léguée par une civilisation éteinte de Sirius - Timelock. Timelock permettra au vétéran des forces spéciales Sam "Serious" Stone de retourner à l'époque de l'Égypte ancienne et d'assassiner Mental pendant qu'il est hors jeu.

🌍️ Wikipedia:
Serious Sam : Premier Contact est un jeu vidéo de tir à la première personne (FPS) sorti en 2001 sur PC. Le jeu a été développé par Croteam puis édité par Take Two Interactive. Il fait vivre les aventures de Sam Serious Stone contre Mental et ses armées de monstres.
Il s'agit du premier jeu de la série Serious Sam. Sa suite : Serious Sam: The Second Encounter continue ses aventures. Un remake est sorti en 2009, appelé Serious Sam HD : The First Encounter, bénéficiant d'un nouveau moteur graphique.
Synopsis
Dans les temps anciens, les Terriens combattaient les Siriens. À l'aube du XXIe siècle, les archéologues ont découvert des traces de la civilisation sirienne en Égypte et ont découvert des artefacts syriens. Mais au XXIIe siècle, Mental, de la planète Sirius, qui a pour projet d'envahir l'univers tout entier, envahit la Terre. Mental avait déjà envahi une bonne partie de la galaxie avec son armée diabolique de monstres venant de différentes planètes. Les Terriens ne purent les empêcher d'envahir la planète, toute armée terrienne avait été décimée. Un Humain cependant, résistait encore et toujours à l'envahisseur, la grande légende de la Terre, Sam "Serious" Stone alias Serious Sam. Les scientifiques ne virent qu'une façon de sauver la terre, utiliser un artefact syrien qui permettait de voyager dans le temps: "Le-verrou-du-temps". Ils décidèrent d'envoyer Sam dans l'artefact pour aller au temps des syriens, la race de Mental, en Égypte, pour changer le cours du temps et éviter à l'humanité, l'anéantissement total.
Dans cet épisode dénommé Premier Contact, Sam cherche dans l'Égypte Antique (ancienne Égypte) un émetteur qui permet d'appeler le vaisseau spatial de Mental. Ainsi, Sam pourra rentrer dans le vaisseau, aller sur Sirius, trouver Mental et le tuer pour changer le cours du temps, faire en sorte que la Terre n'aie jamais été envahie.
Système de jeu
Le jeu reprend les principaux codes du jeu de tir à la première personne : une progression linéaire au cours de laquelle le joueur doit affronter des hordes d'ennemis en utilisant de nombreuses armes. Une intelligence artificielle implantée dans la tête de Sam, NETRICSA (NEuro-TRonically Implanted Combat Situation Analyser), prodigue des conseils au joueur et l'informe sur sa progression.
À l'instar de Duke Nukem, Serious Sam sort des blagues mais moins graveleuses et à un rythme moins soutenu. Le nombre de monstres et l'ambiance de massacre général font aussi que le jeu ressemble à Doom. Quelques références à d'autres jeux de tir à la première personne sont disséminées dans le jeu, pour le connaisseur averti.
En multi-joueur, le jeu propose un mode deathmatch ainsi qu'un mode coopératif qui permet d'effectuer les missions du jeu à plusieurs joueurs (jusqu'à seize joueurs en LAN ou sur internet, et quatre joueurs sur un même ordinateur en écran splitté).
Le jeu se déroule en Égypte antique et fait visiter certains sites historiques tel que Deir el-Bahari, Louxor.
La musique d'ambiance est du heavy metal joué par le groupe croate Undercode.
Technologie
Le jeu utilise le moteur de jeu Serious Engine qui permet d'afficher une grande profondeur de vue et de nombreux ennemis sans ralentissement. Pour le rendu des textures du ciel, le moteur utilise Terragen.
Serious Sam : premier contact était au départ juste une démonstration du moteur.
