My concerns with PAYDAY Aces High

Discussion Thread

So I made a video talking about all this but it's not getting a lot if views or comments so I'm not gonna get an answer on what people think of my concerns so I'm posting it here

If you want to see the video for extra context: https://youtu.be/M0eaqcGwH4k?si=DQzOkcQVaX83LGkU

Basically what I noticed are 4 things that I haven't seen people especially talk about:

  1. How much the game will fit into the world. Besides the dozer, sentry and drill nothing else resembles payday. I mean sure the Aces gang do but like in the shots on the shipping yard they don't even use any of the main companies. The cops are also a private security firm. Granted maybe they’re the new Murkywater

  2. How VR makes it hard to sell a multiplayer experience. VR is expensive and unless your friend group already plays VR I feel like you're out of luck. It would be nice if regular controls were an option. But I feel this is going to hurt the game in the long run. Like after a month good luck finding a rando

  3. The game isn't planned to have a lot of launch content. 6 heists and from what it sounds like 4 primary and 4 secondary weapons. Granted the heist can be done stealth or loud but this doesn't sound like a lot

  4. Fast Travel Games games does have experience with stealth and coop but about half of their games are mixed on steam. The ones where they're the sole dev that is. Not just a publisher or assistant dev team. It feels a bit sketchy

Anyway what's your thoughts?
