Serious Sam Collection has been rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Serious Sam Collection was previously released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It included Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, Serious Sam 3: BFE, and Serious Sam: Double D XXL.
Here is a description of the game via ESRB:
This is a collection of first-person shooters in which players battle aliens and monsters in frenetic combat. Players use pistols, machine guns, shotguns, and sledgehammers to kill numerous creatures. Large blood-splatter effects occur during combat. Enemies are sometimes shown blowing themselves up into bursts of limbs and blood. Players are also able to rip the eyes out of creatures’ heads and/or rip the hearts out of soldier-like aliens. During the course of the game, harpy-like enemies are depicted topless (though usually from a distance). One character briefly references drugs in the dialogue (e.g., “I’m supposed to be doin’ blow off a stripper’s a*s right now.”). The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in dialogue.

"I'm supposed to be doin' blow off a stripper's a*s right now." Wow that's some quality writing :P
It's full of those One-liners, but some backfire hilariously. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH yourself", indeed ^^
Haha I didn't know that Serious Sam is just as crude as Duke Nukem!
I've logged in my fair share of hours with this underrated gem. But that was with the original. I wonder how the series came along??
The Serious Sam games in VR are awesome. I hope the PS4 version paves the way for the PSVR gamers, maybe as VR-DLC.
I always felt Serious Sam was a rip off of Duke Nuken. I own the games but never really invested into them. I might need to play them.
Actually a parody, but not just of Duke, but of most gun-toting beefcake heroes of the time; Duke was just the most memorable of the bunch.
Yeah, its kinda taking ideas from all the old school shooters. The gameplay feels more like Doom. But the levels are huge and weapons were likely inspired games like Unreal Tournament.
I've never been a big fan, the games are kinda shallow and the level design is tedious. If I wanted to fight huge waves of enemies and huge bosses, I rather play Earth Defense Force.
It's not just taking ideas from them, the first one came out almost 20 years ago - even before any UT came out. Most weapons are parodies (19th century cavalry revolvers), just too iconic (Pump-Action and double-barreled Shotgun) or ludicrous (Quad Lasers and a real Cannon). It is from that time, but doesn't take itself seriously (hence the name, Serious Sam) at allunlike all those 90's gritty heroes.
Serious Sam is quite different from EDF in that you have to carefully manage your ammo (especially on higher difficulty levels) and the enemies Swarm you all at once if you're not very careful - which can be over 100 at once!
Unreal in general and Unreal Tournament is older than Serious Sam.
I'm not suggesting EDF and Serious Sam are the same. I'm saying what I enjoy about Serious Sam is what I rather play EDF for. Mindless action and giant enemies.
