Got a new release date of Oct 18th so not far away now.

Basically L4D style except robbing banks. Under $20, bit of fun.

Hey PC crew!

Bo Andersson here – Executive Producer at OVERKILL on PAYDAY.

I just got off the phone with SOE and we are GOLD. I came right here first – no press release, as it is past 2 AM here in Sweden. SOE will put one out online tomorrow. It is real though.

The game is being prepared for distribution on Steam servers now.

This means the game is scheduled to go live on Steam tomorrow morning, 10:00 AM PACIFIC time - the 20th of October 2011.

For the last bit we nailed some more Steam features such as stats (Steam is working their part on this – it is real cool stuff), leaderboards, animation upgrades and we made OVERKILL real insane for mouse and keyboard pros.

I know and hear many passionate gamers ask for release date and now we know – all tested done and ready for you!

Now let see what crew of 4 beats Slaughterhouse on OVERKILL first (it has never been done)

Thank you for hanging in there!

Finally.

Set it to download this morning. Should get three or four together to play it a bit this weekend.

[DivHunter]

A good, fun game. Well worth the $20 price.

If you liked LFD / COD zombies etc or the movie HEAT or just want to tell poeple to stay the fuck down in a british accent. This is the game for you.

[oweban]

bought, some mates played it and LOVED it so i'm getting in on the co-op action.

should be playing tonight on the steammmmsss

(new pc coming tomorrow yay)

[DivHunter]

I have the M308 with sight. UJelly?

[oweban]

i don't know? i only played 2 maps last night, no idea what the weaps are yet. mate was using an uzi... the default assault rifle chews through ammo too fast seems to have a quite small clip too

[EeLeYe]

Just had a go of this game. Would be fun to play it with a few mates.

[oweban]

yeah, played it with 3 mates last night, did the first mission on hard... fuuck. still only reputation 17; gotta level moarrrr

[EeLeYe]

New dlc is coming out soon. Don't know many details apart from that.

I've only played the trial but trying to get some mates into it as well before I buy it.

The way they've incorporated team work is awesome.

[DivHunter]

Completed all the heists on hard, none on overkill yet

[oweban]

faark, can't imagine hard yet. might get a bit higher up in reputation before i even think about that

[oweban]

Yep, I'm sure there's a way to take all cameras out within 10 seconds, shouldn't be too hard with 4 players and all on skype (sorry I'm playing on PC, plus accuracy )

I'm gonna work out where they all are, draw a map, and split it into 4 zones so that I can give each player an area to take them out... should be pretty fast. Bugger the guards, the cameras go first above all else.

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

what someone needs to do now is make it so you can play as the coppers aswell as the robbers

Got it last night, piece of piss. Split it up into 3 cameras each... easy.

Also, would love an 8-player set.. 8 robbers

[EeLeYe]

Nice work man. You would have taken out the cameras before security even realised what was going on.

8 robbers would mean 8 way split... Would be awesome for the game but no way would you have 8 people in reality

[oweban]

haha, true!

We did Slaughterhouse last night; found that the kitchen is perfect for holding off waves; one guy on the window and the other 3 watching the door. use pistols as long as you can and it's nigh-on unimpenetrable.

Totally going for more of the achievements soon Dunno how you're meant to do slaughterhouse in 15 mins though.

[DivHunter]

That's a good point, pretty sure when I have done slaughterhouse we didn't fuck around or leave the drill down. You'd have to be moving the gold in one lot and getting the petrol during an assault.

[oweban]

Ah, we wasted heaps of time cause it was good fun in that room. But yeah, you'd be restarting the drill and doing EVERYTHING during assault waves... eek
