Turning up the Heat.
On the surface,Payday 3isn’t a sequel that radically changes the series' established formula.
The first difference you’ll notice is the change of location.
Gone are the bank vaults of Washington DC, as the action is now all set in New York.
Visually, Payday 3 far richer than its predecessor.
Another benefit of the move to UE4 comes from the cosmetic destruction seen throughout levels.
Shoot at cars and their windows will break and alarms will go off.
In would come the cops, out would come the guns and chaos would reign.
What does that mean?
This means the cops and SWAT team will act differently when you have a lot of civilians around you.
The AI for the main attack waves has also been improved to make things feel more tactical.
These include things like indestructible security cameras, additional guard spawns and another modifier that affects your hacking capabilities.
I also tried out a special one-hit kill sniper rifle that highlighted enemies with some kind of thermal scope.
These include the original crew - Dallas, Chains, Wolf and Hoxton - plus two unannounced characters.
Nevertheless, that would certainly be a very cool tie-in indeed.
