Ok... i had NO idea there was a "Payday" game... a First Person Shooter / Stealth - fully CoOp bank, drug, jewel etc. heist game where you scout, plan and execute crazy robberies either in full stealth or gruesome violence. Enemy (guards & cops etc.) locations and patterns will be dynamic and allow for loads of replay-ability - same mission might be completely different each time.
From the Wiki
Four-player co-op.
Crime Net – The dynamic contract database allows the player to pick and choose from available jobs by connecting with local contacts such as Vlad the Ukrainian, shady politician "The Elephant", and South American drug trafficker Hector.
New gunplay and mechanics
Dynamic scenarios – Each heist has random geometry, and sometimes rare events.
Skill selection – As players progress, they can invest in any of four special skill trees: the Mastermind, the Enforcer, the Ghost and the Technician. Each features a customization tree of associated skills and equipment to unlock, and they can be mixed and matched to suit the player's style.
New mask system – Players have the ability to craft their own unique mask together with a pattern and a color combination.
New weapons, including sniper rifles, assault rifles, compact PDWs, and SMGs.
Weapon modifications – Optics, suppressors, fore grips, reticles, barrels, frames, and stocks affect the performance of your weapon. There are also purely aesthetic enhancements.
Dynamic heist progression – Each job allows for multiple approaches, such as slow and stealthy ambushes, to running in guns blazing. Hit the target any way you want, and watch as the heist unfolds accordingly.
Evidentially the first was a cult hit and the second will be out in Aug 2013 on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
This looks like so much damn fun! I will be picking this up without a fucking doubt! Interesting little things like picking up and hauling the big bags of dope or cash will weigh you down... make your view tilt a little slow you down... you can toss them ahead to your teammate or throw them over a fence etc. This won’t be a simple run and gun… shit will take some planning and real cooperation to get through the missions. So badass!
Who wants to rob some banks, 'eh?

This looks good! But Gun I have to ask.. were you a bank robber in a former life? (or perhaps that's your night job??)
Another fav game of yours you recently posted about 'Monaco' is also a heist strategy game!

My children got me hooked on it from Day 1. Just don't go in with a CoD or BF attitude , because you will not go very far. It's very strategic and mind hurting.You have to think about a move before you make it , or the police will take you off to the pokey.Its fun as hell tho.

@Andy:
Dudddddde i loved HEAT!!! haha such a classic!
Yeah i must have been a bank robber in a previous life... just a really cool, tense experience... the fear of being caught and the "fuck, fuck, fuck..." moment when the alarms go off and you and your buddies are like oh god what do we do hahaha... love it!
@Fire
That's exactly what i was hoping for! Something where you and your 3 teammates would have to really plan for... i saw you have to "case the joint" ahead of time and get all strategic.
Who else is picking this up... i am for sure!

I wish they were developing a next gen version... who knows, maybe we'll see one at E3?

Casing the joint, nice! This game is sounding better and better.
Damn, too many good games, not enough time! I want to get this but also been waiting for State of Decay. I may have to get both.. I'll need something to play while I wait out the next gen consoles analysis/reviews and bug fixes..
And yeah, Heat was one of the best movies. Pacino, DeNiro, great plot and action. The trifecta of action!
