Attention Crew:
Word on the street is that to pull off the biggest score, a heist must be planned and outlined to the very last detail with perfect team members, unbeatable weapons and unrecognisable disguises. That being said, SOE & OVERKILL Software need a little more time to assemble the ideal squad and attack strategy for our highly anticipated adrenaline-pumping first person shooter, PAYDAY: The Heist.
With this in mind, SOE and the talented OVERKILL team have decided to push PAYDAY’s official launch day to later in October, ensuring the overall game quality and potential score for all heist team members.
Not a PAYDAY crew member yet and hoping to get in on the loot? SOE has extended PRE-ORDERS – which have been excellent to date – to gather an even larger body of potential crew to co-operate with at launch!
For our established crew members, PAYDAY will still be awarded to those who purchased all four PSN titles in our inaugural PlayStation Network PLAY event, according to the terms of that program.
Your continued loyalty and patience with the game’s further development is very much appreciated, we truly believe your first heist will be worth the wait. SOE recognizes the demand for quality from PlayStation players and looks to meet this head on with the upcoming launch of PAYDAY: The Heist.
To feed your inner convict until the big day, check out the official PAYDAY: The Heist site for more info: http://www.PAYDAY-TheHeist.com/
We’ll meet you all at our set location via the PlayStation Network later this month! Stay tuned for updates!

Really? You guys are really shooting yourself by releasing it in late Oktober.

If this title is released too close to BF3, then you can forget it!
Obviously i’ll try it, as it’s free for me, but you’ve done yourself no favours!

Sucks, was hoping to buy this tomorrow to keep me busy until BF3 and Uncharted 3 later this month. Doubt i’ll get it if it’s released along with these games.

Disappointed Heist been delayed as this is likely to clash with Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3 and Modern Warfare 3 so we’ll see considerably smaller community playing it.
@CoolRichy007UK, If you don’t agree with someone on here just ignore them from start. Responding only gives them chance to push your patience more. If you’re really getting upset then click ‘report abuse to a moderator’. Same for FB, just report them for abusive behavior but don’t think that having learning disabilities excuses you from being abusive yourself. My son is autistic and I see the upset others cause him through their ignorance of his condition but we are working hard with him so he doesn’t retaliate and understands that the people who treat him wrong are the ignorant ones

im looking forward to this for some reason, dunno why because everytime i buy an fps i hate them.
out of halo, resistance 2, borderlands, crysis 2, cod moh ect i have only stuck with halo3 resistance 2 and borderlands dunno why i liked those 2 but i HATE the others(i liked borderlands because it was rpg ish).
i swore id stop trying fps games because i never like them but im determind to try to change what i play as all my friends ever play is fps games.
im more typicaly into games like disgaea (imported 4 and have already clocked up over 100 hrs) god of war uncharted and that type of thing also like racers but almost every new ip or remake these days are fps games so i feel the need to try.
i cant wait till the fps bubble finaly bursts and dev’s get there finger out and go back to some original thinking to produce games like they used to.
*side note stop all the fighting on the blog talk about the games*

i’d rather the game be delayed than for it to be released full of glitches.
i don’t like paying for broken games, which is becoming really common these days.

I was gonna pick this up to keep me occupied before Batman and Battlefield but I think I’ll give it a miss might pick it up in a sale later on now.

Those of us getting it free, as part of the PLAY promotion, will we still get the pre-order bonuses when we finally receive our codes to enter, too? Technically, most of us who qualify will have effectively pre-ordered even before the option came up in the Store.

Yeah I Want the Free Theme as I used the Play Promotion so I think I should be entitled to it

Just found out there’s no Move support.I was a click away from actually pre ordering this yesterday.No Move makes it hard for me to consider any fps.

@18 Good point.

It’s commercial suicide to release this in the between Dark Souls and BF3. I’ll get it in December at the earliest.
25
Posted on 5 October, 2011 at 6:14 am by maddogarchie64
extended release? Aw. And do people who got the PLAY titles get the free pre-order stuff?
26
Posted on 5 October, 2011 at 7:59 am by MobileTone
why is nobody commenting on how poor the graphics are? looks like a PS2 game.. IMHO you’d be better off picking up Kane and Lynch 2 for the multiplayer which is basically the exact same thing as Heist.
27
Posted on 5 October, 2011 at 8:51 am by Catkiller1
@ MobileTone
Because the majority of us gamers, actually prefer the gameplay to graphics
Homefront for example: the graphics are awful especially online but the gameplay is great!
I still play alot of retro titles & boy are they outdated, but the gameplay always takes over!

Posted on 5 October, 2011 at 2:12 pm by Catkiller1
Those of you that may be interested.
There will be a demo on release day, but with AI & no online play!

Posted on 8 October, 2011 at 9:48 pm by Kartiplus
n00bish question but…
how does pre order work?
do they just send us codes to redeem or we’re able to download it for free when it comes out or something like that?
if its codes where do they send them to?

cant believe i just pre-orderd this cos the psn store says it cums (gigidy) out in 2 days….then i go on net to see more info bout it and its been delayed since 4th if psn updated their store to say that i would never have brought it im upset now cos its happy hour down pub 2nite thats 6 n alf pints hmmmm
32
Posted on 13 October, 2011 at 12:50 am by Neconthrope
Already posted somewhere else about this and been to overkills website i have a small point to make if like steam items you have preordered and then get delayed due to publishing company ie. SOE they give you the option to get refund for said item ,and to this point i say we should also be given this option as the game has already been released in America on the psn but we get a delayed release date due to sony trying to squeeze more out of it , to which point now i cant be bothered with pushed back title which they had my money and i have no form of retrieving my cash as later in month means it clashes with bigger titles like BF3 .
SO CAN SOMBODY FROM SONY TELL HOW I CAN GET MY BLOODY MONEY BACK!
33
Posted on 13 October, 2011 at 4:41 pm by Michael_Caine
yet agian sony dont keep to there word this is getting old just bring a game out when you say its due out later this month what good is that to anybody theres much better games out at that time and people wont want to play this glitchy crap when bf3 is out
34
Posted on 13 October, 2011 at 4:49 pm by Michael_Caine
just been to overkills website they say its so more people will buy it thats why its been put back but bringing it out same day as bf3 wont make more people buy it it will make less people if anything and if you go on the ps3 store it still says the 12th a email telling us would be nice but no all you do is take our money and tell us nothing why say a date and not keep to it what you should of put is TBC

STILL NOT OUT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY PEOPLE GETTING A PAYDAY IS SONY
36
Posted on 17 October, 2011 at 10:38 pm by m377z0r
I emailed sony and asked about a refund and i got this useless link and and an answer that payday is released until late october DUH!
I am suspecting that the last minutes release delays are to keep people preordering the game since the game comes out so close to bf3 and obviously will fall in the shadows of dices titan title release.

2nd november is europe. epic fail .

Posted on 19 October, 2011 at 8:13 am by rehak
If that is true, then better forget about psn uk and I will start using the american one. I’ve already played the demo and i was 100% sure that payday will come and pay me the visit today
Well they should just scrap all the psn’s and ask cheaper price with is $ rather take million pounds for nothing. Did you see american psn? ps2 games, lot of psx games, freebies all over the place and as I concern everything on time.

This is 100% BS , SONY are starting to seriously p## me off with this american favouritism , Europe is pretty much half their customer base & we get treated like crap , while americans get the royal bloody treatment all the time .
i’ve seriously had enough of this BS , im getting my money back, i dont give a monkeys what crap they say because on that pre-order page there was nothing saying no refunds , theres laws in the UK to protect customers from BS like this & i intend to fully exercise my consumer rights & get my money back if need be, & its not just about america getting it 1st , its about how they cant even be aresed to give us a bloody release date ,
America had a release date as 4th Oct , EU got told nothing , then the game gets delayed , & the americans get a new release date pretty quick as 18th Oct , EU got told sod all AGAIN … & this is after them having from the 4th till the 18th for them to pull their tongue out of america backside & give a bloody date to us Europeans .
i want my money back
sick & tired of these pathetic double standards .

Sony gave me a refund for this game they should do it for crysis aswell an overall bad port! But all eu users should mail sony and request a refund i did and it worked for me.

Posted on 24 October, 2011 at 1:52 pm by mixindave
how do you get a refund? what email address?
43
Posted on 24 October, 2011 at 2:02 pm by mixindave
requested a refund
44
Posted on 24 October, 2011 at 2:12 pm by chrisandsheva
a refund,? and by asking in a ‘mail (e-mail,?) just two days after all the complaining started. you must be related to someone at scee hq… anyway further details on this would be very much appreciated by a few hundred (at least!) other angry customers,… i thought i would have to spend more on the phone, than i would end up bieng refunded.. so it’s good to know that theres another way
also i never knew there was problems with the crysis game, i have nearly bought that a few times now, but if it’s just a poorly ported version then i will pass, so thnx for info, and the 16 quid you’ve helped me save.
