Xbigy Games: Overkill Software have announced that they have now partnered with 505 Games for their Payday games. The new pairing will see 505 Games publish the next game in the Payday series.
The news that Digital Bros. (and its publishing subsidiary 505 Games ) is in the process of restructuring is not new. It was last November when, in the midst of the maelstrom of layoffs in 2023, they announced that they were laying off 30% of the workforce , especially employees belonging to the development studios. This restructuring, like the international maelstrom, seems to be still underway and now affects the offices of the Italian multinational located throughout Europe.
505 Games has issued a very self-aware satirical update for Crime Boss: Rockay City, given the poor reception to the game.
I would of checked it out but far as i know its an online gta5 type game. Had it been single player inwouldve bought I to try by now
It's no secret that it won't flush. It's pathetic and something just about every actor on that roster will likely not mention with serious excitement or promote it themselves. The cringe is the talent that went snuggling up to it for the $$$ opportunity. So lame and backyard buddy homebrew-level feeling. Total cash grab. Minimum efforts all around. Nice Hollywood reverse engineering a plot based on their talent pool to carry a game into lame territory.
Game was ass.
Bought it to give it a try and it was beyond dead, as was the discord server.
Impossible to play online.
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Man, I loved PayDay, an extremely fun co-op game. I hope they push themselves even further with whatever content they're coming up next.
I agree, great game AND I got it for the cheap being a PS+ member. playing online though you have to have headsets, it just adds to the tension when you're all chattering trying to help everyone stay alive in firefights...
The first one wasn't even worth my time to download during the freeweekend...
I thought the first one was ok (although the game froze at the point where it was saving the game causing all progress to be lost).
For the second one they should have the progress be saved server side to avoid those types of issues and they should make the game less frustrating (and by that I mean sending wave after wave of enemies after you when you don't have many medic bags or such). I'd be fine with the waves of enemies as long as there were checkpoints where you could refill on health & ammo along with whatever you're carrying with you (as what you carry with you could be emergency supplies). That would at least make playing on the harder difficulties more fun.
