Kotaku: In my hour spent wearing a macabre clown mask robbing banks, looting armored vans and freeing prisoners, I rarely managed to succeed.
In most of the four scenarios of four-player cooperative shooter Payday: The Heist that I played, there was a clear moment when I could cleanly wrap things up. Metaphorically speaking, I kept coming to the light at the end of the tunnel, but went back for more gold, or higher scores.
Free PC games this week include XCOM Enemy Unknown, Payday: The Heist, Aliens vs Predator 2000, Crash Time 2 and more.
In celebration of reaching 1.5 million members on Payday 2's official Steam community group, Overkill is releasing Payday: The Heist completely free for 24 hours starting October 16th, 2 days ahead of the originally planned date - October 18th.
The game will be free to download/keep, and will stay in your Steam library as long as you claim it within the specified 24 hour window.
So last time, the Payday 2 community was just short of 1,000,000 players and we were given 3 months roughly to gain 500,000 more! A rather large and daunting task, one I didn’t believe was possible, I am, however, beginning to change my tune on that.
I'll be glad to see an introduction of MORE infamy bonuses. It's still majorly unfinished.
A PS4 version would of been prime after the Hardline delay, but no one expected that.
It is but CrimeFest might not actually apply to PS4 & X1 so I didn't feel comfortable adding those channels to this article.
Some of it will arrive probably - free DLC, masks etc. But Overkill are being slow on Console DLC's, this might be fought with the CrimeWave Editions (just package the DLC with the base game) - but other things in CrimeFest won't make the Consoles e.g. Free Payday The Heist, that's soley PC I believe so console owners won't prosper from that.
EDIT - correction Payday The Heist IS on PS3 but that still wont reach X360, PS4 or X1 most probably.
Sounds promising. Wonder when the full reviews will start rolling in?
"This is a different sort of Left 4 Dead though, one for fans of crime fiction, one that seems far more tactical, grittier and, in some ways, more fun"
I know this had to hurt them to admit.
I always wanted to rob a bank and all that goes with it. Hostage taking, breaking in the vault, greasy pizza and cheap soda for the hostages.
But no game would DARE allow it.....not even GTA so I'm happy a Dev has the ballz to push the envelope and allow gamers to be the BAD GUY!!
any info on the price?
oh yes..steamworks, co op and on pc...doesnt get any better than this...day 1 buy!
