I liked the Serious Sam series. Bye Serious Sam series. Always have 1-2.

Well can't blame them for trying.
A moneyhat is almost certainly involved but I have to wonder if maybe the game isn't optimized for consoles yet, and thus they decided to go with a streaming console first?

I wouldn't necessarily call it a Google moneyhat because:
a) Croteam is basically an indie studio which is still so stubborn to use their own engine.
b) Looking at amount of enemies shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaqlJAovzXE it looks like this game can beat the record of franchise for amount of enemies being on screen at specific time
So, considering these two factors, I can see Croteam struggling to make it run on Jaguar cores without compromises to game design.
On the other hand, we have Serious Sam Collection which was rumoured to come to PS4/XB1 through some rating board leaks but it suddenly only appeared on Stadia instead.

Doubt it. Croteam was never close to console development. As far as I see, Serious Sam series only made it to XBox. The third entry actually released on PS3 - three years after the Windows release and still two years after the release on MacOS and Linux. So probably this one will also make it's way to console - way later and ported by another studio. I see no reason to think of a Google moneyhat. Just reason to see Croteam as very PC-centric dev.
By the way, seems Croteam kept the trademarks of the series: masses of enemies and humour:

Looks like stupid fun actually.

Even if current gen consoles can't run it due to Jaguar (which I agree is a distinct possibility), they could have announced that it will release at a later date on Xbox Series and PS5. The fact that they didn't suggests to me that Google probably paid for timed exclusivity. The fact that the Serious Sam Collection released on Stadia 2 months ago and still hasn't hit consoles also suggests a Google moneyhat deal. |
When in it's history the series ever considered consoles first. Croteam probably has no experience at console development and would pay a porting company if the main release made enough money to do that.
hmm why not get the steam version guys?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
Moneyhat confirmed
Currently Online A Devolver Digital rep told Kotaku that Serious Sam 4 will come to consoles in 2021 due to an exclusivity agreement with Stadia. We've added that information to our story.
I wonder if an exclusivity agreement also has anything to do with this https://t.co/gKdkTGe6ic

I'm a bit disappointed with Devolver Digital
Stadia loll. Sounds like a steam purchase to me...
