    It looks like it might be fun. It kinda looks like left 4 dead except without the zombies. I'm interested in seeing how this game turnsout. What about you guys?

    Just found this on Steam, and I'd say it certainly has promise. Even though is might not be the co-op heist game I was initially hoping for, at the low price-point and with the touted features, I'll probably be getting a four-pack. I just hope there'll be chances for you to in fact not fire your guns at some points.

    If there isn't AI for your partners in crime for when you want to go play it solo, I know I probably won't get it. I don't like playing with other people too much unless I know them, and I don't see this game keeping a big community after a month or two. Which sucks, because the game does look very interesting.

    I doubt it. I don't buy multiplayer centric games, not only because my interests lie mainly in single player, but because my connection isn't strong or consistent enough to make a multiplayer centric game a worthy purchase.

    Thought it was a movie or such at first...I need to look into it, but multiplayer games without bots are not my cup of tea.
    My regular playmates have pretty different tastes so its hard enough to get them all on one (big/known) game as is.

    This video previews this game. They said the game was pretty fun and might be worth checking out. I'll keep my eye on it and see how it turnsout. Hopefully the full game will end up being good.

    I remember hearing about this game months ago then I forgot about it, saw something on steam about it yesterday which sparked my interest again. It's being released soon and has a cheap price tag, I'll definitely be picking it up.

    Unless I hear it's buggy beyond playability I'm gonna give it a whirl. It sounds kinda neat and since I'm from Sweden there's always the national economy to support ;)

    It looks lame, but with some fun people it could be entertaining. Quick Look should help decide.

    It could be good, but it seems like it only would be fun with good people playing the game properly.

    Also I don't really buy multiplayer-centric games, so I probably will skip it.

    EDIT: But I still want them to quick look it!

    I'm interested in this game even though the voice acting in a lot of the previews is beyond crap. I hope they do a quick look to help me make a decision but bah...so many good games coming out in the months to come...why clog up your schedule with mediocre shit?

    Probably not.  I just don't like the idea of having to rely on the continued existence of an active community for a PSN game to get my money's worth.

    I'd consider it if other players could be the police in multi like Left4Dead, but it's not looking that way.

    I watched a pretty length gameplay walkthrough of this game on youtube and it looked like complete ass. The gunplay did not look fun or interesting in the slightest.

    As much as I love the idea of a game trying to capture the energy of the movie Heat, the trailer for this looks terrible. And I don't think the extra time is gonna help them much.

    Until I actually play the game. I'll let you guys know how the game turnsout. As long as I get my enjoyment out of it then I'm good. From what I've heard from people who played the game. They said it was a pretty fun co-op game. Alot of them compared it to left 4 dead. Which is good news for me. I hope the delay gives the developers enough time to fix the little technical problems.

    (For people thats wondering why this game was delayed check out this link http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/10/03/payday-the-heist-to-launch-later-this-month/)

    @falserelic: The trailer looks like it will be a lot of hectic fun, and I'd love to give it a shot, but none of my PSN friends are planning on buying it. Everyone is saving their pennies for the big releases coming in the next month.

    Hoping for a Quick Look.

    @Nadafinga: I'm looking forward to playing the game too. Alot of people are being judgmental over the game. If the game starts getting alot of good reviews. I'm sure more people would get interested. A quick look of the game would be cool to see.

    No guarantee that anyone will be around to play it once the big games hit next month. So probably not.

    I saw the trailer for it, and really wanted it. According to that Can I Tun it website, my laptop's processor can't handle it, and I don't have a PS3, so I'm screwed. ....Damn it.
