Fans of the adrenaline-fueled heist action of the Payday game series were treated to an exciting preview of the newest installment, Payday 3, during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest. Starbreeze Studios, now at the helm of the franchise, showcased gameplay that promises to deliver the same thrilling and frantic first-person shooting experience that fans have come to know and love.
In the gameplay demo presented at the showcase, a familiar quartet of gunmen took center stage as they executed a meticulously planned heist on a neighborhood bank. The gameplay showcased the intense action as the players employed aggressive intimidation tactics, utilized an array of high-tech gadgets, and unleashed a barrage of firepower to secure their loot. The core mechanics that Payday fans have grown fond of, such as hostage-taking, were prominently featured in the demo, allowing players to leverage captured civilians for various benefits, such as trading them in for an escape when the heat becomes too intense.
