Anyone heard of it? Trailer looks good and it's only 14 quid or so. I've always wanted to rob a bank!

 
Remember reading about this a while back, was very interested.

Will get a 4 pack.

Anyone else want in?

Will place in MM.

Six High-Intensity Heists to Pull: Whether you’re blowing the roof off a building to extract a safe via helicopter or emptying the vault at the First World Bank, these action packed heists will have players checking their six in the living room.

Interactive Co-op Gameplay: Whether AI or live, your crew of four must operate as one to bring home the bacon. Sharing extra ammo and medic kits, helping regen wounded partners, distributing tasks like guarding key positions, taking civilian hostages or cracking through various security measures. It’s one for all and all for one.

Endless Replayability: Dynamic, adaptive environments combined with non-scripted enemy behavior, shifting entry points, FBI agents repelling down on ropes through the skylights, SWAT teams crashing through the windows or special units crawling through the ventilation shafts makes play-through of every heist a unique fight.

Massive Character Progression Tree: Choose a specialty – assault, sharpshooter or support – players gain weapons and equipment that fit their preferred form of violence. Unlock trip mines, silenced pistols, machine guns and much, much more.

Shout Out Button: Players need to be vocal and shout commands and directions to the co-op crew, as well as hostages and the police if they want to survive to spend their cut of the take.

Hostage Trading: Hostages can be a lifeline. If anyone in the crew is taken into custody, trade hostages to get crew members back and increase the odds of completing your objectives.

PlayStation® or PC: For keyboard and mouse marksman, as well as handheld controller snipers, PAYDAY is the uber FPS for a high intensity shooter fix.

Bravo to Sony for releasing on the PC, Steam as well with Steamworks support, more than what MS can do.
 
Worth doing I guess, heist missions in games like GTA*, Mafia and Kane & Lynch are usually a lot of fun, with running gun battles in the street a la Heat.

My only concern is whether there is enough meat there to make a full game rather than a couple of levels without it getting repetitive - I guess it has been priced as such and if it sells well they may consider addon missions as DLC.

A few question marks over the graphics by modern standards, in particular the arm/gun model looks a good 5 years out of date but perhaps to be expected from a Sony title, and it seems to get the job done.
 
Looks incredibly cod lite.

There was a opportunity for a realistic game in the vein of the old rainbow six games, but they missed.

I don't think you really get what they were aiming for with the game.

I'm pretty glad that it's not a rainbow six game - I'd have no interest in playing it if it was.
