PAYDAY: The Heist

Archive: 3 posts


Hey guys!

Been looking at this game - and I reckon it looks pretty good. Anyone heard of it?

Payday: The Heist is a FPS game - except for once, you don't play as the cops/army guys, but the bad guys. Essentially, you rob banks with your crew of 4 - these players can be either AI or your friends - so it's win win either way!

Anyway, there are a couple of banks to rob, and apparently, it's different every time. SWAT teams/FBI guys enter at different times/have different assault methods, and you need to work with your team to make it a successful raid. You can enter in different ways, and if your team-mates get arrested or captured, you can even trade with hostages etc. This is all just stuff I've heard - and apparently you can do more, but I think it would definitely be worth a go. Tbh, it looks pretty freakin' awesome!

Six High-Intensity Heists to Pull: Whether you’re blowing the roof off a building to extract a safe via helicopter or emptying the vault at the First World Bank, these action packed heists will have players checking their six in the living room.

Interactive Co-op Gameplay: Whether AI or live, your crew of four must operate as one to bring home the bacon. Sharing extra ammo and medic kits, helping regen wounded partners, distributing tasks like guarding key positions, taking civilian hostages or cracking through various security measures. It’s one for all and all for one.

Endless Replayability: Dynamic, adaptive environments combined with non-scripted enemy behavior, shifting entry points, FBI agents repelling down on ropes through the skylights, SWAT teams crashing through the windows or special units crawling through the ventilation shafts makes play-through of every heist a unique fight.

Massive Character Progression Tree: Choose a specialty – assault, sharpshooter or support – players gain weapons and equipment that fit their preferred form of violence. Unlock trip mines, silenced pistols, machine guns and much, much more.

Shout Out Button: Players need to be vocal and shout commands and directions to the co-op crew, as well as hostages and the police if they want to survive to spend their cut of the take.

Hostage Trading: Hostages can be a lifeline. If anyone in the crew is taken into custody, trade hostages to get crew members back and increase the odds of completing your objectives.

PlayStation? or PC: For keyboard and mouse marksman, as well as handheld controller snipers, PAYDAY is the uber FPS for a high intensity shooter fix.



I believe it's coming to the PSN store on either the 14/17 October - or something like that anyway.

Anyone else heard of this/planning to get it? It's worth noting the game is an 18 for any minors out there - and I think quite rightly too, so I won't post any links or videos here.

Thoughts?

Yeah i watched the trailers for this the other day it actually looks pretty impressive for a PSN game.

I hope they ring out a demo for it.

I agree - For a PSN game, it looks pretty decent. I doubt they'll bring out a demo though - although, that said, I don't usually buy a lot of PSN games.

If you preorder it, you can get the full game for cheaper (I think), plus you get a theme free.
