Watch A Successful Heist In Payday 2

At this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Game Informer's Andy McNamara and I threw on clown masks and attempted our first bank heist in Overkill's Payday 2. Due to the twitchy trigger finger of Mr. McNamara, the robbery didn't go as planned. We were all gunned down inside of the bank. You can read how we flubbed the heist in Game Informer's August issue.

When Overkill caught wind of our failure, they sat down and recorded a video of a successful bank heist. They take a shot at Andy's skills, and proceed to loot the living hell out of this bank.

Looking forward to this, the first game was pretty fun and from the looks of things this is going to be good. Also, liking the names from Heat lol.

worst. narrator. ever.

Why did Andrew Garfield narrate this?

This looks really cool. I hope you can play it alone... That would be interesting without any bots getting in the way.
by guikibe Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 06:21 PM

The game is awesome but this gameplay was just so bad...
by GunslingerD7 Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 06:43 PM

I'm so excited to play this. Looks great & intense.
by SimonSaezIII Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 08:25 PM

I dont like the first one... but this one looks much more structured
by Timothy Repasky Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 08:32 PM

This game looks really cool.
by Noleafclover Friday, July 12, 2013 at 12:05 AM

Not to much depth for a game. Rob a establishment,escape and repeat. $30 game. Not worth my $60.
by Amarok Friday, July 12, 2013 at 12:29 AM

Looks incredible. Gonna get it for the co-op.
by Andrew Marcos Friday, July 12, 2013 at 12:42 AM

So is Andy McNamara bad at games in general, or is Reiner just amazing at them or what? I need some more information.
by Roxin17 Friday, July 12, 2013 at 09:48 AM

Gahh this looks & sounds like an awesome formula for a game. Who doesn't love a bank robber?!

Missed out on the first one but can't wait to pick this up.
by Real Rick Grimes Friday, July 12, 2013 at 10:40 AM

This is looking pretty good, I'm gonna give it a try when it's released. Besides, you get to kill cops and get lots of money. I'm still concerned about the AI, I saw nothing to make me think it's remotely a challenge.

Wow, very cool! Isn't this coming to consoles as well? I was always jealous of PC players with the original Payday, but this is shaping up to be even better, and I think it it's coming to consoles as well. One thing I really noticed was how well the audio was. The gunshots sounded crisp and airy, like they do in real life, they did well it making the gun sound realistic.

That was cool! Great special video guys! Thanks
by ArkhamAsylum91 Friday, July 12, 2013 at 06:11 PM
