"Oddly enough, one sub-genre that hasn't been explored much in the first-person shooter realm is heisting, be it bank heisting or any other kind of robbery. Given its nature, a game revolving around heists could make for a perfect co-operative shooter--if done correctly, that is.
Overkill Software, comprised of members from the late developer Grin, are attempting to fill the void with their downloadable co-operative first-person shooter, PAYDAY: The Heist. Packing in six levels, four-player co-op, and a crazy amount of unlocks for only $19.99, PAYDAY seems like it should be the ideal purchase in which it sounds, but a few things go awry in this quest for riches."
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.
A PS4 version would of been prime after the Hardline delay, but no one expected that.
