Payday 2 The Big Score and What Does it Mean for PC?

I heard about this on a Payday 2 livestream as people were talking about this in the chat. So I looked into this and it looks like a new console release for $50. But what does this mean. Could this new version of Payday 2 be leading to a new DLC on PC? Are we finally going to get to do the big score that bain was referring to in the Payday Webseries. I honestly don't know what this is. There is so much content on console missing from the console version and I wonder if overkill is going to release some dlc on console for those with the Crimewave Edition.

I know this is a console edition but since we don't know much other than the fact Gamestop advertised it. It could also be a new version of the game on PC since so much DLC has been released since the Game of the Year Edition on PC so new players can get caught up with DLC.

The most likely option? They're going to screw over their console fanbase.
Again.
For the third time, at least.
The general speculation, seeing as it is console-only, is the GOTY/whatever edition for 2016 on the consoles. And for $50.
A money grab at best, an entire new game which is console-exclusive and $50 at worst.

Changed the title, now mines is unique because the fact is it's coming out around christmas season and that gives plenty of time for a new really big DLC that us PC gamers could get that will also be on the new console version.

The Big Score has no meaning to PC. Just like Crimewave. /thread


and, release day is october not november. That's 'murica format MM/DD/YYYY

The Big Score was referenced on the Webseries, as I said we know nothing so obviously this is speculation. So you saying it means nothing to PC in itself means nothing but oh wait. Max is here. apparently I can't discuss what this could mean for PC.

The reference is mother of all heist.

same thing to me, they could have changed it. max. stop trying to shut down threads that could grow and get overkill's attention. no wonder payday 2 is going to ♥♥♥♥ with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like to being so negative people do nothing but complain. why can't we just look for the positive in this. I would just like to be able to discuss something that could be something cool without negative aholes coming in just trying to kill threads. ♥♥♥♥ off back to your basement of depression

You mean threads like...

This thread is pointless. The discussion won't change anything. Overkill will find some new way to screw over their console fanbase. Nothing new. Maybe it'll be the heist with Payday 2's secret in it. Maybe not. Either way, it won't be related to PC. The console version will always be just delayed versions of PC.

I don't want ot hear your negative attitude. yes the console version could be a capcom tactic but that is not releated to this thread. This discussion is what does it mean for PC users. If you want to complain. you can use those threads like a toilet for your negative attitide. But as far as I can see nobody on those threads are talking about it in relation to what PC users could be getting as the console version get released.

If Overkill announce that it's just a console release with DLC up to the Biker Packs then you can lock this thread but untill then. BEGONE YOU NEGATIVE NANNYS

Okay, lets review.
The consoles will most likely get:
A season pass/similar style for content. ie screwing them over once again in the incredibly large lack of support:cost.
They're charging $50 for it. Similar in nature to the GOTY 2014 system.

"What does this mean for PC users?"
GOTY 2014 PC -> Crimewave Console
GOTY 2015(6?) -> Big Score
Maybe, they'll throw in a few exclusive patterns or masks depending on the platform.

The likelyhood of them making a new game is very small. They haven't discussed it on their quarterly reports. Which means, the most likely this is a new form of DLC/content release. (Plus, they bound it to just consoles)

It's overwhelmingly likely that it is Crimewave 2. Season Pass 2k15/16. Nothing but a watered down or delayed version of PC.
They might even do skins in a form, but Microsoft and Sony care more about their customers than Steam and don't have a market place set up.

It also comes out in October, close to Payday's birthday. When do they like to do massive and major updates? Does this mean PC users will "get" anything from it? lolno
