Not a single desert level :(. Oh well, as long as the weird urban Call of Duty parts are gone as well I'm :bounce:.

It is. The first couple levels can be a bit of a drag since guns and enemies are less plentiful, but at least they make up for it with entertaining secrets if you are [perceptive] enough. But once you get to the final levels of the 'city', it's good ol' fashioned Serious Sam fun.

I would add that it's more fun if you use No Reloading mod. I hope there is no reloading in SS4 vanilla.

Steam page got updated
Developed by true shooter veterans in Croteam, Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass reignites the classic series by improving on the old-school formula. Enjoy the high-adrenaline action combat with an unbelievably destructible arsenal and experience Sam's iconic enemy-annihilating circle-strafing and backpedaling dance-routine on an even bigger scale.
KEY FEATURES
AAAAAAAAAAAAA… BOOM
Serious Sam was always about using whatever comes towards you for target practice and this time it's no different. Fight through giant hordes of relentless foes, both those that defined the franchise like Kamikaze and Kleer and those ready to become iconic in the future.

Bigger, badder, better
Fight and explore your way through huge environments populated with optional objectives, secrets and deadly ambushes. But, fear not! Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass is still a focused, linear experience you have come to love, and NOT an open-world game.

Wroom, wroom
Traversing big environments is no easy task. So get your driving skills ready and jump on a motorcycle, a combine or even a bulletproof popemobile and drive your way through unfortunate enemy pedestrians.

This time, Sam's bringing friends
Companions no longer appear only in cut-scenes, but are taking part in the action. Rodriguez, Jones, Hellfire and the rest of the crew are joining Sam in this epic journey through Planet Badass.

Seems SS4 to be openworldish.
http://fandom.wikia.com/articles/serious-sam-4-planet-badass-details

Of all the cool details we’ve learned about Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass, what we’re most excited about is the fact that there will be hundreds of thousands of enemies on-screen at once.

There will definitely be co-op, fans will be happy to hear. You and a friend can roam the incredibly large maps together, looking for secret areas, tackling quests, and circle-strafing your way to victory.

This is the French countryside, and everything is very green and pleasant, but make no mistake — it’s already been taken over by Hellish forces. In the full game, sections of the world map will either be under control of Earth or Mental, and you’ll be liberating what territories you can. In our demo, we were in France because a nearby fort had a relic we needed — the Holy Grail.

Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass features huge levels, and Croteam believes the wide open spaces are a pillar of the franchise. It’s not an open world, but it does kind of act like one. There’s a lot of exploration, side quests with NPCs, and tackling objectives in whatever order you like. We’re told a level will be 80×80 miles.

There were long periods of roaming the wide levels on Sam’s motorcycle, but Croteam is keen to keep you on your toes as you ride. Enemies will run out of forests and other hidden spots to intercept you if you don’t have a weapon handy. They might even climb on top of larger vehicles and poke their heads into your driver’s seat.

Speaking of forests, there were a lot of trees dotting the landscape. This could provide a different kind of firefight than Serious Sam fans are used to. They’ll either provide cover, or just make it more difficult for the AI to pick a path through. The trunks provide more opportunity for your shots to be blocked as well.

NPCs will occasionally help, too. An injured woman in a stone tower was blasting enemies with a sniper rifle as our demo driver circle-strafed on the ground. She had radioed for help, and we had answered. It was a side quest, but one that resulted in us obtaining a new sniper rifle.



There seems to have been a stream or something.

>80 by 80 miles map
:shredder:
The Just Cause 2 map was 32x32km. I hope he meant 18.
