No Move support I take it?
Oct 18th? how unfortunate for them, to release it on a day of a huge release.
I will still buy it, but probably in jan/feb when im done playing the massive amount of AAA titles coming, they really shouldn't of pushed it back because i have a feeling it will hurt initial sales which is a same, maybe if i can finish batman before nov i will buy it.

Played it at SOE Fan Faire awhile back. It's not fun. Sorry to be blunt, but from what I played it was a pretty sloppy experience overall.
Controls were really, really loose and weapon recoil felt intentionally inaccurate if only to make the game more "challenging."
Enemy AI was downright awful. Most of the firefights my buddies and I were in were simply just a matter of funneling enemies down a hallway and taking them out. Their AI was pretty freaking terrible.
The level we played through lasted little more than 10 minutes, if that. The level was made intentionally "longer" by the fact that things you have to do take time and break. Example, a door needs to be busted into so you have to go up to it, hit X and start a lockbreaking machine on it. It goes super slow, frustratingly slow. And, about five times during the process, it "jams," meaning you have to run up to it and press and hold X for a certain amount of time to get it started again.
Classes seemed to have zero impact on gameplay, considering any player can just pick up a random weapon from a fallen enemy. Equipment was moot, too. There seemed to be a lot of extraneous stuff, like hostages, etc, but none of them ever seemed to make any real difference in the game.
If it has one thing going for it, it looks nice, especially for a PSN game. But, do I think it'll be worth $20? Probably not.

thanx for the impressions, you might have persuaded me to spend my hard earned money elsewhere

Depends. I played a version at QuakeCon where you started outside the bank and went on from there to pull the heist.

Sad to say, but a lot of this is fairly accurate.
The mission I played involved breaking into the vault (via some drill-type tool) and melting the above floor with Thermite. Sadly, a lot of this stuff takes a long time to get done, and stuff like the drill can be interrupted by the cops or it jams.

I was really excited for this game a few months back, but the more I read the less inclined I am to actually buy it.
PC users have been shafted again, the game is coming out on PSN tomorrow but won't be coming out on the PC. Only date they've given is the end of the month though I imagine it'll probably get pushed back until after that seeing as publishers are really enjoying taking PC gamers money and then delaying their games.
Between this Renegade Ops and Arkham City I'm getting really tired of not being able to play the best version at launch. I'm starting to wonder if it is worth pre-ordering anything on Steam anymore if this is just going to keep up.

I queued it up to dl and went right back to Batman. lol. I'll check it out but I doubt I'll be giving it much of my time. Not for now, at least. Too many games.shagg_187 said:
GameTrailers: 80/100
In spite of its few faults and a curious lack of a competitive multiplayer element, Payday: The Heist
manages a fun and fresh cooperative experience that duly pays tribute to a genre rarely seen in games.

My very early impressions are mixed. I got the voucher and was quite excited to play it.
+Graphics are nice
+Concept is neat
+Seems to be some neat tools
+tons of unlocks
+Enemy AI aren't amazing, but they do use the tools they have available to them
-Early guns feel off, makes me worried all guns feel off
-Chatter in single player is annoying
-I am not a framerate snob, but this feels low. Or maybe the whole control scheme is heavy. Im really bad at figuring out the difference between the two (but we aren't talking blight town framerates, atleast)
I haven't played online yet, I dont have much interest in playing with randoms. I will hopefully play with friends somewhat soon. Overall it seems to have promise, if the guns get to be more fun, but im not freaking out over how great it is... yet.

Upon further playing....
Im having a lot of fun with it now. The gun sounds are weak, which is important to give a shooter oomph, but otherwise I don't have any major complaints anymore. I got used to how the guns feel. Your AI partners in single player are dumb but that's too be expected.
The level layouts and the mission structure is fun. Im really enjoying it and I haven't even played co op with friends yet. Looks like a winner. So disregard my somewhat downer of a post a couple up from this one
