Quick Look: Payday: The Heist

so many QL

Hope it's not terrible...

Get Money

Seems ok

notta

Looks good for the price.

Ryan and Jeff get down with the clown.

Looks like a steal for the price.

Trailers looked pretty rough, interested to actually see it played.

played the demo, wouldnt even play it for free

GET PAID

So, are they walking around the bank with their masks on before they start the heist? Or are they throwing on the masks when they start? In that case, the cameras have already seen them so what's the point? I haven't seen the rest of the quick look so they could very well destroy the tapes.

Robbers seem to be way overpowered. I have to see Heat someday.

game looks boring , and bad. but i have never seen heat but i want to now

They destroy the tapes.

I love heat I am getting this game

This looks allright.

At least the bank robbers look badass. For 15$ I might pick this up.. maybe.

sweet was waiting for this

This actually looks kind of boring.

Might get this when its cheaper on steam.

I see the problem.

That Slick aint no joke.

Looks godlike to me, picking this up when it hits Steam.

I was hoping this would be a bit more strategic and feel less like a fps but for what it is it looks alright.

This looks incredibly bad single player -- maybe the 4-player co-op would be better?

@lordofultima: Where are you from? Its on Steam now in the UK.

It's time for you to stop whatever you are doing and watch this masterpiece of a movie at once!

She got a GREAT ASS! And you got your head ALL THE WAY UP IT!

Hey guys am I doing it right?

Want to let you guys in on a secret: DON'T PLAY THIS GAME ON NORMAL, and DON'T PLAY THIS GAME BY YOURSELF

saying that, I wish the controls were a bit tighter, and the dialog wasn't so straight faced...

Also, keep in mind that not every developer is Valve. This was made by a very small studio, so I'm impressed by that.

The best "bank robery" in a videogame still belongs to GTA IV as far as Im concern.

I think if you pause you can see they didn't have the masks on before the robbery starts also they destroy the tapes to be extra safe.

For a downloadable game made by a small studio this seems pretty competently done, the 4 player could probably be cool. My only worry is that there isn't enough of a challenge.

Played the demo, didn't like it not a bit

Very cool idea, but it seems a little too "typical shooter" to me for most of that. For a scenario like this, regenerating health and constant waves of police with a deathwish just lose too much of the tension involved. It needs to be more stand-off-ish and defensive rather than just killing dudes in your way. More stuff with hostages to keep them from just running in at you.

A nice start though, love the concept.

I was actually looking forward to this but the end result looks really dumb and boring. I'm Glad I held off on pre-purchasing; money better spent on Skyrim and Uncharted 3.

Here's the deal with hostages:

If one of your teammates is downed and isn't revived/recovered, he will be captured by police. But as long as you keep your hostage abuse to a minimum AND tie one of them up, you will eventually be eligible for a swap -- your teammate for a hostage. It's a way to bypass the lengthy respawn time that comes from being taken into custody.

Also, you can shoot out security cameras around the bank to interrupt the flow of information the police have. I didn't really notice a HUGE difference between disabling them and not doing so, though. I assume it just means the cops will enter more through the front door rather than wherever is closest to you.

It's a fun game, but I do think that it will end up feeling repetitive rather quickly.

Ryan: "10 seconds flat"

Me:"...... /)^3^(\"

If I knew three other dudes what had a PS3 it would be a sale. As of right now I know none.

EDIT: Oh, Steam you say? Now I might be able to get some people together for this.

Well done, old man!

I haven't seen anything about this game but from what I heard it's a game about robbing banks and funny thing is like 2 years ago I was thinking what would be a slightly original game, so I thought someone should make a game about robbing banks that's pretty freaking funny. Now I'm gonna watch this video :D.

Finally this game is released!

I love me some Left 4 Dead, I'll love me some of this.

Ugh, looks like they ran out of money and published the prototype.

This just seemed really boring. Also, it looked nothing like a bank heist in a movie. They kinda just set an FPS level in a bank.

Looks like garbage :-|

Game looks pretty interesting, like the fact that music is so strong that it can help a fairly standard fps gameplay feel more exciting. Downloading now!

Last time I saw Heat, the DVD broke during the helicopter scene. What a bummer, need that Blu-ray!

san andreas was way better

Seems like a cool idea that could have used more work. Might pick it up when it drops in price on Steam. Music almost sold me.
