and then you know a light bulb switched
in my head and I was like yes that's
exactly it
hello oysters and welcome to the payday
3 developer Diaries we're very excited
to finally be able to share some details
around payday 3 and to give you a peek
behind our curtains as we talk about
some of the highlights and challenges
we've faced during the making of payday
3. we've put together multiple episodes
with the help of several members of the
payday development team and in this
episode we'll give everyone a chance to
say more on their individual
responsibility and passion to see how it
has been applied in the making of payday
3. we hope you'll find these developer
Diaries both interesting and
enlightening and that will manage to
quench some of your curiosity and desire
for more information
today's video is the first in the series
and it's set to serve as an introduction
to pd3 where we discuss some key topics
around what players will recognize from
the payday you already know as well as
what will set it apart as a separate and
unique experience without further Ado
let's go
[Music]
I think a lot of pd2 players are gonna
go like oh so this is exactly how I do
it but you will also notice that there
are a lot of small features that somehow
affect the game and makes it into a
completely different thing than Payday 2
everyone
I think the biggest change from Payday 2
to Payday 3 is just generally how the
highest experience has evolved my name
is Andreas and I work as a producer on
payday 3. in Payday 2 you have stealth
and then you have loud which is pretty
binary and that's something that we
really wanted to flesh out and evolve so
in Petty 3 you have stealth and then you
have something that we call a search
which essentially is guards are looking
for you and they're suspicious
and then you have something really
interesting which is called negotiation
so First Responders arrive to the scene
and if you have hostages you can start
trading them to buy time before the cops
getting or you can save the hostages for
later because you can trade them for
resources
so the pedagang has moved from
Washington this to New York City and a
big reason for that is because New York
is just the capital of capitalism
heisting with your friends and having
all those skyscrapers around you the
Yellow Cabs more pedestrians and traffic
that's just a very important piece in
elevating the experience in general
there is a ton of stuff right that makes
New York the place to be but more so
it's tied to the story and The Narrative
of payday something that has grown more
and more interesting over the years
especially so for the players who have
really come to like the story and are
wondering what's going to happen next
for the paid again so Peter 3 will take
place in New York City at launch and
we're definitely gonna see the gang move
to different locations as the game grows
and scales over time
for payday 3 there will be
the original gang and two more heisters
that will join them
so I think we're definitely going to see
collaborations for Peter 3 as well
what's important for us and that's
something that we've taken
um like as a general consensus from the
community as well it has to fit the
universe and we don't want to do stuff
that really breaks immersion so as long
as it's a natural fit then it elevates
what the game is about absolutely
over the past decade we've done more
than 30 different collaborations for
payday introducing new characters new
heists and I think the message I want to
make really clear to the payday fans out
there is that for launch we want to
focus on the core gang and the core
original story of payday and PayDay 3.
as we go into the post launch of payday
3 anything can happen
you are right that the Gang has
definitely grown older and I think
that's one of the cool things with
payday as a Trilogy now is that the
story and the characters share a red
thread through the games so whatever
happened to one of the characters in
Payday 2 over its lifespan that it will
somehow be reflected in Payday 3.
the coolest feature in Payday 3 one of
the first one that comes to my mind is
when you're in the bank
the civilians are everywhere the cops
start rushing in what you can do in
Payday 3 that you've never been able to
do before in the payday franchise is
that you can take civilians as hostages
and use them as a shield towards the law
enforcement
there has been a lot of comments on
stream because we stream several times a
week now and every time we do there are
Always Payday 3 questions
definitely there's been some Heavy
Hitters that have suggested things or
asked things where I've gone like
that's actually a fact you know so if
you ask that question you're right
arrived in Washington
why is it so hard they haven't been
sleeping around they've been sleeping
around Macan
my God
chains wolf
hoxton
Houston I don't know where Houston is
