Say “hi” to the bad guys
When it comes to epic Hollywood shootouts, few instances of unleashed ammo eclipse the epic bank robbery exodus in Michael Mann’s 1995 crime thriller Heat. And while Payday: The Heist is a bit late to the party to be an officially licensed game, sitting down with Overkill Software’s downloadable dose of co-op cops and robbers, you can’t help but get the sense that the inspiration from classic stick ‘em ups of this ilk had a heavy had in the game’s creation, but rather than thrust you into the role of the law-abiding do-gooder, The Heist is all about unleashing your inner bad guy as you rob and mob your way through 6 unique jobs on a path to certain infamy.
Free PC games this week include XCOM Enemy Unknown, Payday: The Heist, Aliens vs Predator 2000, Crash Time 2 and more.
In celebration of reaching 1.5 million members on Payday 2's official Steam community group, Overkill is releasing Payday: The Heist completely free for 24 hours starting October 16th, 2 days ahead of the originally planned date - October 18th.
The game will be free to download/keep, and will stay in your Steam library as long as you claim it within the specified 24 hour window.
So last time, the Payday 2 community was just short of 1,000,000 players and we were given 3 months roughly to gain 500,000 more! A rather large and daunting task, one I didn’t believe was possible, I am, however, beginning to change my tune on that.
I'll be glad to see an introduction of MORE infamy bonuses. It's still majorly unfinished.
A PS4 version would of been prime after the Hardline delay, but no one expected that.
It is but CrimeFest might not actually apply to PS4 & X1 so I didn't feel comfortable adding those channels to this article.
Some of it will arrive probably - free DLC, masks etc. But Overkill are being slow on Console DLC's, this might be fought with the CrimeWave Editions (just package the DLC with the base game) - but other things in CrimeFest won't make the Consoles e.g. Free Payday The Heist, that's soley PC I believe so console owners won't prosper from that.
EDIT - correction Payday The Heist IS on PS3 but that still wont reach X360, PS4 or X1 most probably.
Looks pretty good especially for 20$ !!!!
This game had me sold when I thought it was going to cost $40. $20 is a ...steal (aha....).
Already pre ordered it. Can't wait
