Why does jacket look so far off than his appearence in Hotline Miami?

[cuteautisticgirl2006]

Jacket in Payday looks like a six year old and way different than his appearence in Hotline Miami. Jacket also looks ginger to me, but that maybe just the lighting. We do know jackets appearence in Hotline Miami, if you look at the HM2 comic or just search up "Jackets face" you can see Jacket has spikey blonde hair.

You do realise hotline miami was set in the 1989 right, so jacket is pretty old now.

I mean it's pretty resonable to assume it's in the 2010

Jacket in PAYDAY2 is an imposter. Play as him during Prison Nightmare and listen to the voices.

Yeah, both died in the end. So I guess that makes sense.

Scarface isn't Tony Montana. Overkill said that themselves. Movie is still canon to the game though.
As for Jacket? it's implied that the events of Hotline Miami (and events preceeding, aside from the nuking of Beards shop) did happen in regards to PAYDAY, but the events of Hotline Miami 2 never happened for PAYDAY 2, as Flordia is still around, as of the Counterfeit heist, and no nukes were set off. The Jacket we play as is not the same person as the one of Hotline Miami fame. Only an imposter, like the Fans from HM2
Black text over.

I heard the prison nightmare voiceline, but what it could be referring is that Jackets name is not Jacket, hinting to his real name.

No its probably him knowing that deep down, he knows that he isn't the real deal.

It's been discussed so many times as who jacket really is.

Personally I think it's just a guy who has anti personality disorder who enjoyed the games so much he wanted to become the character.

Did he take out the Miami russian mafia? Probably

Did Russia nuke the US? No

Also in the safe house jacket has an arcade version of hotline Miami, so most likely the game exists but in the actual videogame context.

also the CANNON states that in PD2 at least that JACKET is NOT the real Jacket
he is a copycat.
