PoV: PayDay The Heist

Posted Nov 17, 2011 at 10:30AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PoV Tags: payday the heist, payday the heist ps3, payday the heist psn, payday the heist review, payday the heist steam

PayDay The Heist

I've talked before about bias and I feel like I have to clarify that despite my interview last week, I feel like a good game developer should listen to fans who speak clearly and with clarity. I hope they read the review in hope that their next game, hopefully another PayDay, will be better and that Overkill will be pleased with this honest review.

The game of PayDay The Heist, is not a simple game, 'tis a complex head blend of working together and patience. Seeing a fallen team mate will make your heart pound more, especially when playing with friends, but the second you see that cash, it may be too late for your friend and even later for those around you. Okay, PayDay is a simple game of four guys who steal money and that is all I can say about the plot. To be honest, there is no plot, but who cares, let's steal some money.

The game's mix of Left 4 Dead's comradery and Kane and Lynch's love of heists, brings Overkill Software's PayDay The Heist to a place I'd hoped a co-op game would come to eventually - a game of fun and eventually, betrayal. The game is set between a series of distinct, but fairly similar, scenarios in which you have to run and gun as you make your way to a fairly large sum of money.

This sum is arbirtrary int the world of the game, but does provide a good upgrade system as you earn "reputation", to go along with it, you better enjoy the game or at least the premise. Whilst there was some speculation from the game's "every game is different" I'm somewhat happy to report that this is more or less true. It's true in that no game I've played, even on the same level, has had the same scenario, except for a few instances of SWAT teams invading at particular times and the amount of time it may take you to drill through a gate or burn through to a vault.

The less, is the amount of fun you will get from the game, you will have levels you won't like, players you won't like and scenarios which will be frustrating. The game does not have a sophisticated AI Director, a lá L4D, but it does have a good sense of direction when it comes to helping you play through a scenario. There is often an even amount of ammo on the ground or good place to take cover, but more or less if your buddies aren't around the director will screw you over and you may have to let go a hostage just so you can play, some time later.

There are a few arbitrary or minor issues, mainly graphical and audio ones, first and foremost the fact that when I look outside on some of the maps, the SWAT and police members will become glitchy ghosts that are just waiting to enter the nether worlds of the heist, a bit ironic considering what me and my heist-mates are about to do. There are a lot of glitches that could be easily fixed, such as Team AI, such as in Heat Street or Panic Room.

They will sometimes go through the props in the level and it really throws you out of the experience, as does the fact that the buzz saws on the Panic Room level doesn't really cut and the drill in the other levels don't drill. It'd be a simple animation, unlike the running. I wasn't sure if it was my internet cocking up or the game just had a weird animation. Turned out to be the later. It's a bit weird, especially when characters are crouching.

I do have to say the game is quite gory, especially when you shoot up close or get a good headshot (which is rewarded, in-game) Other than that, the game looks pretty good, Overkill, not stunning, but enough to make you enjoy it more than Kane and Lynch 2 but less than Portal 2. The game looks good on the modded Diesel engine, let's just leave it at that.

How it sounds is amazing. I do have one gripe that the fact the Heisters don't have more than a few catchphrases, even when you're telling the hostages to "get down" "get down" "get down", you think they were about to start a DJ set, not a heist. It's a small problem but it's always something that's really gotten me down, especially after other games such as Uncharted, The Simpsons Game and SWAT 4, have all had good simple voice acting gigs and rarely have a repeated line, hell, hire me for $10 an hour and I'll record whatever the heck you want. That being said, some of their dialogue is amusing, not on the level of the castmates of L4D or their sequel, but still a wry smile forms between getting shot at and restarting saws/drills.

Sound effects, which is quite different from the voices, are absolutely fantastic. In my interview last week with Simon Viklund he stated his favourite sound effect was the shotgun and I could not agree more. Having it unlocked as you go into the game is a sight for sore eyes as the world seems to go a lot better (depending on your level and experience, of course) but having that fire into a bulldozer is more than satisfying as you continue through your heist. The music is always rarring for me to get into the game. The perfect music starts off the game, it reminds me of the opening of The Dark Knight and as it flashes up the face masks of our heistmates, you are ready, you just are.

Wolf's frightening bloodied mask, Dallas' patriotic smile, Hoxton's red eyebrows and Chains cross eyes are fairly distinct as well and all provide a great opening to the game, but the menus and a few visual cues leave a lot to be desired. A lot could have made the game look really flashy and interesting but a simple pallette of black, yellow and grey makes it look as if the game is ready to be taped up behind Police Lines

Finally, the gameplay. The game is broken up into six different levels. First World Bank, a traditional bank heist, Heat Street, a plan gone wrong, chase'em down, Panic Room, a break in, break it out mission, Green Bridge, shooting in the rain...I'm just shooting in the rain, Diamond Heist, a sneak in smash and grab and finaally, Slaughterhouse...is exactly what it sounds like.

To focus on the more difficult and interesting levels, Green Bridge is the most exciting, being in the rain, breaking over prison convoys, donned in yellow raincoats and escorting a chinese prisoner. Things just escalate, even when you start on a half-exploded bridge. The level is fun and exciting and atmospheric at it's core. The most fun is probably Panic Room, simply due to how cool you can act before the heist starts and

Diamond Heist is quite difficult and starts off sneaking, but if someone's being an asshat, this plan can and will go awry in a matter of minutes. This one is best to be kept in the shadows. Sure, cops will be alerted eventually, but planning and timing your moves to silently take out the security guards is a wonderful sense of fun and comradery I wouldn't change for the world.

Slaughterhouse is just chaos. Starts off with a "The Usual Suspects" scenario as a bunch of trucks pull up outside a warehouse and you have to take them out and kill a lot of people while you take some money out of Secure Van. Gold everywhere and bulldozers stormed during the last few minutes after the Gold came out and it was insane.

The Single Player mode is fairly useless as are the AI from time to time and when you can turn the AI on for not having enough players in the online mode, what difference would it make? Why wouldn't you play online? This game could've done better with co-op and a better matchmaking system as well. The difficult system alone is quite confusing, not that they're confusing in general, but it's enough to question a thing or two.

For example, the last two modes (Slaughter and Diamond) are available on the hardest setting, and I do have to question why. The levels themselves are as complex as Panic Room and require less in-game set pieces. It boggles the mind on why they're specifically hard, possibly a question I should put to Simon, next time I talk to him.

PayDay The Heist is a great game, it has great play but could have been better. There is so much here that could have been even a great storyline, but Overkill has made a decision to make it for hard and fast gamers. Varying difficulty levels, great upgrade system and some fairly intriguing level design, makes this a must-have PSN title.

PayDay The Heist has made it's way to Europe on Steam and PSN and Harrison E. has decided to steal some words and give the heist-sim a whirl.

Ubisoft Announces Rainbow Six: Patriots

Posted Nov 3, 2011 at 5:23PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: rainbow six, Ubisoft

Because if there’s one thing the industry needs right now, it’s another high-profile FPS game.

Rumors of a new Rainbow 6 game have been swirling around for months, but there wasn’t too much concrete evidence to grab onto. It was generally understood that a sequel would have to come eventually, but no one really knew when.

The last game in the series, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, was released in 2008 and things have been pretty quiet on Ubisoft’s end ever sense. Until today, of course, when Ubisoft officially confirmed that a new game, Rainbow Six: Patriots, is headed your way in 2013.

The game revolves around the Rainbow team’s efforts to stop a group of terrorists called the True Patriots, who in typical Tom Clancy style have determined that the government is corrupt and no longer serves the best interests of the people. You’ll play as different characters throughout the campaign and the game will feature a robust co-op mode.

David Sears, creative director for the game, had this to say in an interview with OXM (hits shelves later this month):

"Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction. This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience."

There aren’t many details besides what’s been revealed in the brief interview snippet, so you’ll have to wait until the issue hits shelves November 30th if you want the full scoop. For now, just know that a new Rainbow Six is coming, and you can expect it in 2013.

Are you a Rainbow Six fan? Or are you suffering from shooter overload?

Grand Theft Auto III Coming to Your iPhone

Posted Oct 13, 2011 at 5:17PM EST by Listed in: Wii, iPhone Tags: android, grand theft auto iii, ipad, iphone, Rockstar

Rockstar announces the 10th anniversary edition of its old-school classic, remastered and headed directly to your mobile phone.

It’s hard to imagine, but Grand Theft Auto III, the game generally recognized as revolutionizing what game developers could do with an open world, has been out for 10 years. For a bit of perspective, the number one song in 2001 was Independent Women Part 1, by Destiny’s Child. Beyoncé was still a person in a band when GTAIII hit shelves.

Anyway, this post isn’t about Beyoncé. It’s about Rockstar’s most recent announcement – in celebration of the tenth anniversary of GTAIII, they’re releasing the game not to consoles or direct download, but directly to mobile platforms.

Here’s the currently supported device lineup:

Apple iOS Devices: iPad 2, iPhone 4S

Android Phones: Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2

Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Rockstar notes that this list isn’t complete, and they’ll be releasing a more in-depth list of compatible devices once they’re a little closer to dropping the game on the open market. If you happen to be going to New York Comic Con, you can give the game a test run at the Rockstar booth.

Everyone else will just need to wait until later this fall; there’s no official release but it’s safe to say we’ll see GTAIII on our iPads sometime during the holiday season.

I’m just amazed at how far we’ve come technology-wise. I remember being amazed at the freedom that game created, and it’s incredible to think that I could have the same experience on a device that fits in my pocket.

Anyone planning on downloading GTAIII to their mobile device, or are you sticking to consoles?

Optional Hi-Res Install for Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360

Posted Oct 7, 2011 at 1:15PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: bf3 install, DICE, xbox 360

DICE confirms that Xbox 360 owners will have the option of installing high-resolution textures directly to their hard drives, but leaves PS3 owners guessing.

If you’ve played the “Battlefield 3” open beta, you’re probably aware that despite a few minor (and major) bugs, it’s one of the best-looking Xbox 360 titles in recent memory. Now, DICE has confirmed that the game can look even better, with an optional installation option for high-resolution textures.

In an quick conversation with GamerZines, “BF3” producer Patrick Liu talked briefly on the subject of DVD limitations and the Xbox 360’s texture install:

"There's a voluntary install on the 360… I think Rage did it as well, where you can install content to stream higher res textures. We're pushing that technology to the limit, and compared to our competitors, I would argue that we're the best looking game.”

Since there aren’t any videos or screenshot comparisons to look at regarding this update, it’s hard to say whether the optional download will result in a massive increase in visual quality. There’s also no indication of the potential size of the install; if you’re running low on space now might be the time to clear out some of those old games. The PC version of BF3 sucks up a whopping 20GB of storage, so it’s safe to say whatever you install is going to be big.

Another mystery left unsolved is what options will be available to PS3 owners. Liu didn’t mention whether the PlayStation 3 version would also feature an optional texture install or whether the higher-resolution textures would be automatically installed with the initial game load.

Either way, I’m curious to know whether the textures affect gameplay at all. Will players with the optional install have an easier time seeing opponents? Do the textures apply to solo and multiplayer modes?

We’ll keep you posted as facts are made available.

DICE guarantees console players won't get short end of the Battlefield 3 stick

Posted Sep 24, 2011 at 9:35PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PC Gaming, PS3 Tags: battlefield 3, ea dice

DICE has always been open and honest about the PC being the best platform for Battlefield 3. That is not to say, however, that the console versions will be of a lesser quality.

Producer Patrick Liu stresses this fact in a recent interview, guaranteeing PS3 and Xbox 360 owners awaiting for the release of their much-awaited FPS that they definitely won't be getting less from the game at all.

Said Liu in Edge's latest issue, "It has the same amount of destruction and the same amount of visual fidelity. It's also a misconception I've seen on the internet that the console version won't have jets - that's not true.

We've scaled the maps accordingly for console so it makes the pacing all right and the balancing is good. If you play a big Conquest map then the map is balanced accordingly.

If it's any consolation, if you can call it that, PS3 players have been promised that the DLC to the game will arrive one week early for their end over the others. As for the PC spec requirements of the game, you might want to check out this link here.

It's all going to be fair and jazzy for everyone.

Final release dates for Orcs Must Die! confirmed

Posted Sep 20, 2011 at 9:33AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: orcs must die!, Robot Entertainment

"The slaying hour is nigh upon us!" This was the battlecry of Robot Entertainment CEO Patrick Hudson upon announcing the release dates of Orcs Must Die! for both the PC and Xbox 360.

"We can no longer restrain the enemy at the game. We will soon turn the rift defense over to Xbox and PC gamers to beat back the mob and save the Order!"

That is quite the mission right there. Orcs are coming in droves, and, well, we must keep them at all costs from getting past our defenses. You all are therefore called to duty beginning October 5th, 2011, at least if your fort is on the Xbox 360. Those on the PC, however, will have to wait it out a bit longer, until October 12th, before the fighting begins.

It was originally thought to be coming out to retail by July, but that obviously didn't happen. Instead, it spent the last couple of months going from the Comic-Con to Gamescom, and then now, it's headed for retail stores for real.
