Take A Peek At Payday 2's Live-Action Web Series
Publisher 505 Games is launching a Payday 2 web series next week, and you can get an early look at it right now. The clip shows four antiheroes – Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains – as they get ready to unleash a large-scale series of heists.
The series is being directed by Demian Lichtenstein (3,000 Miles to Graceland), who's also directing a feature-length Payday movie. In the web series, the foursome are going wild in Washington D.C. for as-yet-unknown reasons.
The first Payday had some great ideas, though they were poorly implemented. If the sequel can deliver the thrills that heist movies have for decades, we could have something special on our hands. Check at our preview for an in-depth look at the game, which includes some of the ways Overkill is addressing previous issues.
Look for Payday 2 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 this August.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
