Sumo Digital developed the Switch port of Payday 2

[Jonneh]

So here's something that was kept rather quiet. In fact, I couldn't find a single announcement for this but found a Sumo section hiding at the end of the credits:

Well at least they got some switch dev experience points out of this.

So maybe it is the first one in this document?

 

[Funny Valentine]

I mean, I can't blame Sumo Digital for getting paid even if Overkill is a scummy company that STILL produced an out of date version of Payday 2 despite all the marketing.

Explains why it actually runs okay on Switch - based on the lack of impressions prior to the launch i was expecting a complete mess.

Let's hope the original FPS is less underwhelming.

And if so, doesn't "multi-project" imply there is more to come?

Overkill does have a The Walking Dead FPS game in development, and a new IP called Storm which is also an FPS.

Seems to run great but is missing tons of content and voice chat. I would blame the content on Overkill.

Having played it for around 15 hours I can say it's a really competent port. Mild slowdown in some levels but nothing crazy and it's more up to date than other console ports I believe but still not up there with PC. As Richter said, that's probably an Overkill problem.

Well, they already have some with Snake Pass, but this does mean they can offer up help for titles that run on Diesel Engine, should anything ever run on it again.

From statements made from Overkill this week, isn't it akin to updates since June 2017? Which I think is update 147 out of 171, which is what the PC version currently sits at.

I think they are missing 50 updates from what I read on Reddit. Will have to look it up for you.

Nope, it's on 117. Switch will be the least updated version of the game, with content that's about a year old. Other consoles are still behind PC, but switch is way behind them. https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/21/17036040/payday-2-nintendo-switch-version

Thanks for the clarification. What this company gets away with...

Disgusting.

 

[Wahad]

Well, I must say, even if its old version, it feels and plays awesome! I'm just blown away totally. I expected all kinds of choppiness, but this blew my mind. Stable and easy to pick up and play...

Why we don't have OT for this? IT will be interesting I bet

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Well, at least they got paid.

 

[wesman]

Here was the last info I had read, which was a day after the Polygon article. Not sure if this is damage control or their actual mentality towards support, but the biggest issue I have in diving in, is the price tag. I'd hope this would launch at $30, $40 max.

I think Diesel is dead after Payday 2 unless a port of Raid WW2 comes to Switch

I mean, the game was good back when Version 117 came out and always had a ton of content so it's not complete garbage but there have been significant updates to the mechanics since then. For example the AI buddies aren't nearly as crap anymore on the PC.
