Not everyone has a headset and so voice chat would be impossible for those people. And do you remember how bad the voice recognition was in ‘Endwar’? The button works fine like it did in Swat 4.

Do you really think players would be happy being forced not to play for a day because they screwed up? More to the fact that this would stop them playing the game altogether due to rage quits and I’m sure that’s exactly what the developers want.

If you look at the UI it shows someone on low health for most of it, meaning there isn’t Regenerative health. More like a L4D style.

If you want to play in a casino go download PKR or Party poker. I do agree that if you could upgrade certain things like amount of cops and bonuses it would be cool however i think I’d try to stockpile as much money as possible to brag to my friends on leader boards.

I do like the cover your buddy while he picks up money idea. But games have been doing the invisible hand pick up for ages, it isn’t game breaking. And i also like the ability to pick up heat like in GTA as the more bad things you do the more heat you have. However this is an FPS so everyone will have max heat.

I don’t think this is a clone, it looks rather unique. Negotiating with police in exchange for your friend back looks pretty unique to me, sure there are features from other games but every game has features from other games. Thats how genres are defined. I’m not having a go at you but you seem to be judging a game that you haven’t properly even looked at.

Even he said that one map you a reverce rip off from a film it would have been a neat idea to make the banks randomly generated and not just the AI

it would be a nice idea to do fun stuff with your “earnings” like blowing it all at a casino instead of just buying new stuff for your next heist

it should inclued like a hardcore mode with high stakes like being put in a virtual prison and you cant play for a day like in them online browser games if you F up bad which would make planing vital instead of a chore

its proberly going to go the way of every other fps “oh you got shot in the arm? its ok let me pump you full of morphine or you got just hide for 5 secs the buckshot will heal nicely and wont affect you in any way.

a little more relisim would look good.
robber 1: use the force to pick up the money pile and store it in the rip in time that is in your pockets
robber 2: already done
it would be better if you had to cover your buddy while he loads up the bags and carries them to switch up the gameplay from capture the hill to a protect the vip

it would be a good idea to make the game harder in a non scripted way like if you steal a billion moneyz, shot 12 hostages, a passerby and 50 cops while kicking cats and dealing drugs to school children in a single mission then the next one would be harder then if you stole a lotto ticket

all these features and many more would turn it from a generic clone to something unique

made the music for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE9rz59Qk3U

and i bet the sound track for this game is gonna be badass since he made the bgm for it! i cant wait for this game!!

And I think it would be more fun if other players can be cops and try to stop you. L4D co-op is fun, versus co-op is even more fun.

So the idea is good but I am afraid it might have been done better already and that it needs a bit more oomph to it gameplay wise.

And Angry Joe better not to forget to review this game.

I think this is because the spokesman didn’t do his job of keeping me interested. I almost fell asleep listening to him ramble on since it didn’t seem he was excited for the game at all. I can pretty much sum up the interview by saying, “Well, we wanted to make a heist-genre game, but we ended up with something like Kane & Lynch crossed with Left 4 Dead. Sorry about that.”

Although it wasn’t shown, the spokesman did mention hostage negotiation. It would be an interesting feature if the developers manage to do it right, but if it’s just a one-button command like the spokesman described other features, it may as well not even be in the game.
