"This is a premier quality downloadable game designed to deliver a unique spin on the First Person Shooter genre...
...As an intense, gritty and unapologetic episodic co-operative shooter, PAYDAY is packed with cocky attitude, epic Hollywood-inspired action and endless replayability.With six action-packed heists to complete at launch...
...players embark on a spectacular crime tour of heists, including shooting their way through a downtown bank vault robbery, trading hostages in an armored car hijacking and even a moonlit infiltration of a high-security headquarters." - overkillsoftware.com http://www.overkillsoftware.com/payday/
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.
More DLC: Additional heists, weapons and equipment means PAYDAY™—a digitally distributed AAA quality title for less than half the price of a retail game—is total OVERKILL
Costs $20 (but is 10% off preorder!) so $18 the 4 pack costs $60 ($15 per person, basically)
I want to get it, but if i can convince my friends to get it, i'll break it with the 4pack :D
...more details coming soon!
Payday the heist will be releasing in north america on Playstation network: october 18th
Because language translation is incomplete, payday has been delayed for release in none North America locations for play station network.
Because steam is universal, it has also been delayed until languages are complete.
... they've only had 2 delay weeks to deal with this already!
the gameplay in the trailer really doesn't look like anything special to me, just seemed like standard run and gun shooter. I assume that the game this will be compared to immediately is Left 4 Dead because of the coop FPS aspect, but that trailer doesn't really make it seem as interesting or challenging as L4D. What exactly gives it infinite replayability? do you know if the heists are randomized in some way to change the game significantly? it sounds like a cool concept but that trailer put me off :/
Edit- oh you put in more, nvm. Those features probably add a lot more depth but that trailer looked really boring. I like the price though.
Shameless bump because i've updated stuff and this thread is being buried by all the shit from battle field 3 and eve that has 50,000+ views... D:< rageface!

Found the E3 PS3 footage, its much more expository than the trailer (yea, the trailer sux imo!!)
This game has caught my eye in terms of co-op, because it actually sounded more depth than L4D series. I just hope it's actually hard enough so only the ultimate teamwork can pull through, L4D on hardest was still pretty easy.
so apparently the bastards at PSN have delayed the game, possibly for another 2 weeks... Hopefully they make up for it by including some of that promised DLC with the final release.
I don't really get the point of waiting so long to announce a shift in release date. They knew it before today so why wait till the last moment to announce a change? Just give a timely heads up like any proper company should.
Another source stats that the Launch Party was on the 6th instead of the 10th... while there is still no commitment on the release date.
At this point however, according to designer Chris Sturr: "Actually, all known issues have been resolved and are currently being reviewed for final certification. As with any new game engine there are things that pop up and have to be dealt with. Well, they’ve been dealt, addressed and fixed up."

Pretty much this. When I read about the game idea I got excited and then when I saw the game trailer I was mighty disappointed.
UPDATE: the guys at overkill @#$%ed up! They are releasing the English version on north America on playstation network, however because the translation is incomplete in other languages, the release for Steam and playstation network Europe (and anywhere else?) are currently delayed until translation can be complete...
Did they seriously think they would have this ready 2 weeks ago? and no one could do the damn translation while they were hashing out the bugs in between times?
Getting kind of silly with the constant literal last minute updates on release dates.
I don't mind if they push the game back but atleast do it like a proper company and announce it a good while ahead of time.
Last time they even had the game on "released" status on steam for a good few hours, literally announcing a change in release date AFTER the release date.
They should really just keep their mouth shut until they are actually going to release it.
I think it's the publisher that's screwing things here, let's be honest, game company don't do translation themselves, they are just a small 28 men company.
I'm sure Overkill software would be happy to release announcement early since it's nothing to do with their end. However it must be SOE that's preventing them from releasing any, people are talking about that is how they boost sales on other game platforms.
Similar practice has happened with other game titles, I wouldn't be surprise it's the same case here.
Preordered it on the day before the date of the first release. I'm really looking forward to this and i'm a bit disappointed of the delay but honestly it would be okay if it wasn't for such a silly reason. Some content compensation would be nice.

Ooh i don't doubt that it's SOE that's putting the presure on to make it an early PS3 release but a little honesty would go a long way.
No need to make up release dates and push them back, just announce that it's PS3 first and then PC. I don't ask them to release it faster or any platform first i would just like it if they stick to their release dates, whatever they may be and if they change, give a proper heads up.
I mean they even had the game on released status on steam for a few hours on october 4th, that's not proffesional is it?
Well I saw the Steam link in your OP but I don't use Steam so I have no idea how it works, So its going to be on the computer right? I'm really excited for this game as I still love playing L4D, the style of the game was just so much fun but I do love Zombies so may be biased.
If this game is actually as good as I want it to be, I doubt it. It has potential although. As long as its not super easy like how they made the Call of Duty veteran... CoD1, CoD2,CoD3, and somewhat CoD4 where so hard to complete on vet and then I got my hands on the new ones and I'm like "What the fuck? is this for 5 yearolds?" So hopefully this will be as hard as Expert was on L4D I could never finish all of L4D on expert but I was playing with bots.
If they keep this game a challenge I may be very interested in staying with it for awhile.
