Serious Sam: Next Encounter FINALLY ported to PC! (Silly ReEncounter V1.01 recomp test)

This is a brand-new for 2026 PC recomp of the Gamecube Rev1 version of Serious Sam: The Next Encounter. I've gained a renewed interest in this franchise in light of the Third Encounter teaser (also that Vita gyro video) and I've always wanted to play this one. There have been attempts at remaking this game in Serious Engine 1 in the past, but this is a full-fledged port of Climax's proprietary engine. Unfortunately...this port needs some serious work (pun not intended). The performance is just godawful. My PC might be a potato from 2019, but it can still run this game in Dolphin at a solid 60FPS at 1080p widescreen. I blame AMD in this case, since this port runs on OpenGL 3.3. FMVs have bizarre stuttering issues, while in-engine cutscenes are completely broken. Now, the author of this port didn't say if this was vibecoded or AI-assisted or what. However, considering that just a week after this buggy build came out, he came out with a splitscreen co-op ROMhack for Ocarina of Time Rev2...yeah, I'm pretty skeptical to say the least. Stick to Dolphin with the MouseInjector patch for now (linked below). ------------------ Get it here: https://github.com/takoshero96/Silly-...
