What is OP talking about? I don't know anything about this so-called "Raid" game of yours.

It doesn't exist

They spent all the money for development on John Cleese

as far as i've heard it plays worse than payday 2, uses the same basic structure and isn't fun at all. i can't verify if that's true or not, after that god-awful beta i put this firmly in the "maybe when it's on sale for single digits" pile

It's fucking terrible and nobody likes it. It's not even worth talking about except in context of its failure. It performed so poorly that the game is already being sold at 75% off.

I don't understand why they wasted that money on those greenscreen live-action scenes with that poor old man.

When I played the beta I thought it looked like something out of a failed focus group test.

Already? Wew.

>>14069855

People forgot about it because it has no marketing campaign and because it's just Payday with a World War 2 skin slapped onto it. The only things they managed to improve were better stealth missions, non-mixing classes with specific roles and lockpicking that was more than just holding the F key.

They probably still had some time with him and figured they'd use it on their new game. Either that, or they kept him around out of fear of losing him.

Almost all of the creative talent left Overkill sometime during Payday 2's development. If you look at the credits for Payday 1 and Payday 2 you'll see that almost their entire level design team just walked away. This is partially the reason for Payday 2's gameplay sucking so hard compared to Payday 1.

A few years ago the founder of OVK took a bunch of guys and left to make a new studio. I am convinced that the remaining staff are incompetent and poorly managed, and that's why they're putting out absolute shit like Raid.

Speaking of their new studio, has there been any developments on that new game they've been working on?

>>14070085

There was a trailer with a few bits of gameplay, it's a 4 player coop game inspired by Aliens and other related sci-fi movies, vid related.

The name is dumb.

I was hoping there was more news on this. The name is stupid, but it looks like it has potential to be good, assuming they handle the loot system better than Fatshark did with Vermintide or better yet, ditch the loot system altogether.

>trusting Overkill

it's dead, it's payday 2 but worse. also graphics give me eye cancer. pretty sure it has less players than battleborn and lawbreakers but i lack the image

it's also another "let's kill ebin nazis :DD" but it's from sweden so i don't know what you expect

>>14069855
