Payday 2 launch trailer takes you through a single moment of chaos

If dense strategy isn't your thing, then maybe the dense action promised today's other big release is. Payday 2, the sequel to Overkill's criminal spin on Left 4 Dead style co-op, is out now. To mark the occasion, here's a launch trailer that sweeps through a single moment of chaotic heisting. Of course, being frozen in time, what you don't get is the near-incomprehensible shrieking of your friends as your carefully laid plans fall apart.

Payday 2 is available through Steam for £24.99/$29.99.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games.
