If not, why not? Seems weird they're going to give us Serious Sam 4 on launch but not the others.

I doubt it. The general belief seems to be that they're too heavily embedded into Steamworks' infrastructure for Croteam to bother devoting time into taking it out just to have it released here.

Unfortunate, but that's life I guess.

But the disc copy of Serious Sam 2 has no Steamworks integration, right? I'm all for pretending Serious Sam 3 never happened, but I don't see why SS2 can't get a port.
Sorry, that's my fault for not being more specific. I was focusing more on the HD releases of TFE and TSE and not 2.

I'd say we probably won't see 2 but for any number of reasons not related to Steam specifically. I've seen people say it was lucky to have been released to Steam in the first place because of how Croteam generally view it.

Honestly, if you really want more answers or as close to answers as you'll get because neither GOG staff or anyone from Croteam will respond to the threads here, you should look into joining Croteam's Discord server.
I hope Serious Sam 2 and Serious Sam 3 arrive at GOG soon too, and the HD version of the classics... I don't really care about mods, so if they have to cut that feature to release the game here I don't mind!!!
Serious Sam 2 received updates on Steam. Not only for the multiplayer. So technically they would sell an outdated game, if they would sell the disc version.
If they come here I will.
I wish HD Gold pack would come here

They would make a good chunk of cash if they would bring the packs here

I always found Croteam to be very responsive to customers questions on the old Serious Zone forums which has been archived. While I haven't done the whole discord thing yet, I have no reason to believe they wouldn't be just as responsive. You may not get the answer you want but they will get back to you eventually except perhaps if they have already answered the question previously.
It's just a bit weird that Croteam put Serious Sam 4 and Siberian Mayhem to GoG but not SS1 HD... I'm happy to have SS4 and SM here but I'd love to see the entire series on GoG.
SS3 & SSHD 1/2 are on the same engine. That's why they're not on but the others are.


Except 2. 2 really was a big letdown. I remember playing a "beta" and QuakeCon. Nowhere near as good as 1st & 2nd encounters. I don't even mind the story, the gameplay just wasn't as good.

I am all for Serious Sam 2 & 3 coming to Good Old Games.
One of the first high end games I played when I first joined Steam was Serious Sam 3 and they had an insane sale around that time and I built up a library of classics real quick. SS2 is a rough gem.

Complete Serious Sam on GOG and ported to other OS for Steam and GOG is a seriously awesome idea.

Next, should be Serious World. Serious Sam meets Delirious Mental feat. Travis Scott Burger, Miami Salt Life bumper sticker, confrontational road rage woman experiencing narcotics withdrawal holding a sword, as an opening cinematic to Serious Sam World called the cut scene. Serious Sam gets heli-vacuated to an emergency room after getting their arms lacerated by a methmomma trying to stop her running after people in the road.
The hero's burden becomes more apparent when he sees the healthcare costs. Sam has no money, he is paid by the act of saving the world which "pays for itself" and yet the only healthcare Serious Sam is covered by is Extra Life Pickups and Mental Dental.
