While not the first bit of gameplay we have seen for Overkill Software’s criminal sequal Payday 2, this gameplay trailer presents a more calm and collected side to the hectic robberies of the downloadable only original, Payday: The Heist. While Payday 2 won’t shy away from the bullets and blood, it allows for a more open experience, including stealth and silenced pistols that are actually useful. This should make Hoxton, Chains, Dallas and Wolf’s descent on Washington D.C. an oppurtunity worth capitalising on, which is handy because there are a few bonuses for those who want to get in on the action early.
For those who want to buy the game on PS3 and Xbox 360, the retail £29.99 pre-order comes with the “Loot Bag DLC” which includes:
- Military Red Dot Sight, for all rifles and shotguns for an extra bit of accuracy
- In-game cash, to get an early head-start with
- Exclusive Skull Mask, to show off to your friends
- Black and Red Mask Colour Combination
- “I Love Overkill” Mask Pattern, to show your support for the studio
For PC players however, the Steam pre-order comes in two varieties.
First the “Lootbag DLC” comes with all pre-orders for the lower price of £24.99 and includes all the bonuses listed above in the retail edition.
Secondly the “Career Criminal Edition” for £29.99, is the ultimate hardcore law-breaker package. It comes with:
- The “Lootbag DLC”
- Payday 2 Original Soundtrack, to jam out to
- Two Beta Keys, for you and a friend in crime
- The Crime.Net Deal, in-game discounts to Payday 2’s Crime.net system
- Bain’s Guide To The Criminal Underworld, a digital guide to Payday 2’s world of robbery
- Heist Blueprints, for that extra edge
Sounds like a good deal. Payday 2 will be out August this year for all your bank-robbing needs
