[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;47361340]That's how the previous collaborations (Hotline Miami 1 and Hotline Miami 2) worked, why would this one be any different?[/QUOTE]
Hotline miami collabs actually added:
HM1: Heist, Masks, Melee Weapon, Song.
HM2: Jacket, mask, weapon?(I think)
and it wasn't during an event like hypetrain so that's fine.
Filling in a gap in HypeTrain event with something like this (just 4 masks) and 10 Euro early access game feels somewhat cheat/cheap move.
HypeTrain was supposed to give everyone free content, this move by overkill feels cheap/cheeky.

They might as well have just cut the spring break event by a day and added this in like next week or something
shit i would have expected anything else for something kept secret until the very last day before the finale of this event than 4 masks as a collaboration

HLM1 and HLM2 brought a new heist and a new character with them, though
Now I'll make it a point to kill anyone using the hothead mask while using the venger mask.
I dunno, I might check out Speedrunners. OVK aren't like Valve, they don't collab with just anything.
You know what? I'm not too happy with this update either, but ya know what would've been shittier? Learning the 10 heisters going to E3. I'll take shitty tiein over that anyday.

I own Speedrunners and my play history consists of trying to make the buggy piece of crap working for 15 minutes, then noticing it doesn't recognize my controller and giving up.
Edit: Maybe I was being too harsh. My controller is a really old Logitech so lots of games have the same problem. The game itself might be worth 5 bucks from a sale if you like local multiplayer games.

just another day on SPUD
tbh this just seems like the golden grin preview, it gives devs breathing room to fix things/focus on hoxrevenge tomorrow. coulda done something a bit better still

Collabs do take a lot more effort than that though
To be honset, I don't know what else Overkill could make for this crossover, beside masks.
Making another character would take a lot of time, there is no weapons in this game (if my info is correct), and a new level reuire a new idea for it.
Well that came out of nowhere.
For SpeedRunners owners, you apparently need to type in the chat "/dallas, /wolf, /hoxton, /cloaker" during the Character Select screen to unlock the new PD2 characters.
Glorious paid free content
Wasn't really expecting anything major. I'm alright with this.
Fuck all the cunts in the comments going "i thought hoxton's revenge was today even though you clearly said it would be tomorrow?!? fucking liars!!". Major props to Almir and everyone at Overkill for being able to put up with this shit.
I don't know why people expected something major.
When we got a winky face previous time, we got ourselves a promotional clone of Keanu. It was kinda obvious we would get another promo.

I wasn't expecting Hox Revenge level stuff today but I also expected something better then 4 crossover masks that you must buy an early access game for that we "earned" in an event that we had to buy DLC for in the first place.
Still, props to you guys for even providing free DLC and actually doing events/theme updates anyway. A lot better then how some [I]other[/I] companies do it.
[QUOTE=doommarine23;47361241]Well its a cute little update I guess, would be cool if I was a player of speedrunners. I got to admit its pretty cool for Overkill though to be working with a lot of different studios or get small deals, I haven't seen that with other game companies as much and I wonder what kind of things that will give us down the line.[/QUOTE]
TO BE FAIR
this is how tf2 promos started. Here's hoping it doesn't end the same way
See like I'm super confused as to why they would make a super secret day for the spring break event, where everything is free mind you, and then have the super secret day be "Here's a bunch of super goofy masks from a game, oh by the way you have to own it to get these masks." That's not free Overkill, you might as well have revealed this next week and used today for something, i dunno, actually free?
I'm not complaining about the masks themselves or anything, just why reveal them in the middle of the "Free Unlocked Content" event week when these aren't even free?
How about they make masks free to obtain (they become available when you launch game) during spring break? After spring break ends you'll have to get the game to get the masks.
I mean they become available forever.

To be fair the crossover wasn't even on the hypetrain roadmap so it's an extra thing that was never promised to be free.
Still, I'd rather have the crossover game be something that I can play solo to have fun, speedrunners doesn't look like a game you play alone. (then again payday 2 is kind of the same thing)
When I saw "Birds of a feather flock together" I was honestly expecting a cross over with another crime related game.
These small days like this one or the casino preview one give the devs more time to breath, fix bugs and prepare stuff for the next day(hox revenge on this case). They deserve a small break IMO, specially if tomorrow's heist is good.
So, masks related to a game barely anyone is interested in that also happens to have DLC promoting Youtubers like Markiplier and PewDiePie. Not to mention you have to own said game to even get the masks.
Can't say I'm too terribly excited about this update...
Oh well, Hoxton Revenge is tomorrow, so I could really care less right now.
So I just went and tested the silent saw. It alerted a guard that was about four, five steps in front of me and nobody else.
This is loads better than the default saw which is "ha ha everyone is getting alerted" no matter where you use it.
To be fair to the Speedrunner devs, youtubers made that game super popular. Not that the game isn't good itself, but it probably wouldn't have gotten this much attention had it just released on steam. Why not pay back to those youtubers by putting their face in their product? I think there was a contest early last year where they had youtubers race each other, and that's when they added the youtuber packs (not saying it ain't tasteless, just saying it makes sense).
On topic however, I agree with everyone else that this is just a breather day to allow for the heist tomorrow. I'm pretty sure we'll be driving cars, and that makes me excited.
Hey, Coyoteze, I'm curious, seeing as how there are a few new animations and poses for various things, do you guys have any plans to add some additional death animations for cops? I was kind of hoping to have some more headshot death animations, but for specific stuff, like sniper rifles.
I'm always a fan of the ragdoll+death animation stuff, so I'd definitely be happy to have more.
[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;47360897]The worst is people who restart the moment the slightest thing goes wrong.
Three of the dudes fall down the Shadow Raid ladder and get downed, restart (Never mind that I have inspire so it would've taken me less than ten seconds to revive all of them)
Thermal paste dupe only results in three cans instead of four, restart.
Anything happens, restart.
After the fourth restart they pulled for a stupid reason, I gave up and left that lobby.[/QUOTE]
Reminds me of this one guy who restarted on Firestarter Day 2. We all went ready for loud, and to my happyness there was 4 bags of gold and 2 of money on the loot room. After a while, tyhe dude restarted and asked if we wanted stealth.[sp]there wasn't any loot that time[/sp]
