Game director David Goldfarb describes the game as 'much more of an RPG' than its predecessor, with vastly improved customization, and details the co-op-centric multiplayer gameplay.
Payday 2 is the sequel to the 2011 PS3 and PC title Payday: The Heist. The second installment will launch across both of those platforms as well as Xbox 360.
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
Payday 2 looks like a big improvement for the original. I really hope they go with a more realistic and planned approach in regards to doing a heist. The first game was too much of a horde mode type shooter for me.
