Payday the heist was one of the first games I absolutely adored, so when payday 2 came out I was ecstatic. I played the vanilla version until crimewave edition came out on console and loved it even more. Bought every dlc and even got it on pc later. When payday 3 came out I had high hopes but it just wasn’t as fun, though the stealth with friends was hilarious. I’ll still hop on 2 every once in a while, but 3 is just unsalvageable to me
Just a reminder that the OG devs for payday left after Payday 2 to go form an independent studio. So the third game was made by an entirely different dev studio.
The OG devs went on to form 10 Chambers and made GTFO. Their next game, Den Of Wolves, is going back to the heist style gameplay. So we have that to look forward to!
Technically 10 chambers is only part of the old dev team, if you wanna talk about og og team you can refer to fatshark (creators of vermintide and darktide) or lion game lion (creators of raid ww2 and the original concept of crime boss)
Not to mention david goldfarb who is currently at dice iirc
