hey, notoriety dev (technically contractor lol) here! im really glad that you enjoyed our game :] ill make sure to bring up your concerns to the other devs. currently im working on reanimating every single weapon, so ill also try talking to them about if i can add more animated interactions. thank you for reviewing our game!
notoriety is the reason i found payday. around 10 years ago i was playing a lot of roblox and when i found notoriety i was immedeatly hooked. back then i was still a dumb kid and didnt know what i was doing, but if it wasnt for this beautifull roblox game i would have never found payday
@@zerothesquid7017 imagine prestiging this game 25 times and yet you havnt played the actuall game once, which was given for free and overall cost 2$ 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
As someone who has played notoriety in the past (and probably why I’m a fan of payday now) as well as someone who has been a fan of Roblox for a long time, I’m genuinely ecstatic that Roblox is now getting some actual positive attention, and more attention from the outside community that isn’t just brand sponsors like Walmart or something
Me too, i wish people would see that theres more to roblox than this though, roblox is a game dev tool so the quality depends on the person/people who make it, theres a lot of good quality games but people only see it for what a bunch of 6 year olds play
I used to play notoriety on my dad's work computer and I had no idea payday existed but my parents would never have let me play the real thing so it was nice having notoriety
I played this game before the original rework, back when it was still named Heist and even had Simon's music. Seeing it go *official* just feels... So bizarre. I love it. Hell, Overkill knew about it back in the golden days of Payday 2. All they did against it was ask them to pull Simon's music and change the name to avoid any confusion with Payday The Heist.
As a notoriety Vet back in the day, I’m glad you’re covering this game. Fun fact: there was a hoxton breakout mission with a old Roblox celeb Named fave. Gotta say it… _Aged Poorly_ 😅
19:28 Fun Fact: this is also a mechanic in Crime Boss: Rocky city, specifically in the kings gold/Dollar Dragon heist in stealth, where there is a console where you deactivate the cameras or mark every guard on the map, but if you hit the wrong button you can trigger the alarm
it's insane that an indie knockoff of payday 2 has a better gameplay loop than payday 3. i really hope payday 3 continues improving. i want the new armor system so badly.
Idk, I feel like PD3 generally plays by far better after testing this one - but that might be because I'm too burned out on the PD2 playstyle. But PD3 will improve over time, that's how PD2 ended up being a viable game instead of a buggy barely playable mess which PD3 has been years ahead of since launch, lol
As somebody that's been a long time player of Notoriety and long time viewer of this channel (both of which got me heavily invested into Payday 2, now one of my favorite games of all time) I'm glad you took the time out to review this passion project. The criticisms you provided were pretty valid and I hope the team takes them into consideration, and I also hope you cover the game a bit more as it progresses. I know a couple people have already suggested it, but if you're gonna stay on the platform you should check out games like Entry Point and Operators, both of which are inspired by Payday The Heist and Payday 2, as well as games like Hitman, and I think you'd enjoy them just as much as you enjoyed Notoriety. Cheers!
If he plays Entry Point and ends up digging into the lore for fun, he'll find out its made with SO much love and dedication for a Roblox game. Its why i play/played it so much!
8:11 so essentially on Roblox there’s 3 ways to get revenue from making a game, there’s premium playtime, where players who have premium (formerly known as builders club) will play your game and you’ll make money based on the amount of time they play in the game, the second is locking the game behind a robux payment, usually done for games in beta or alpha, and then there’s gamepasses
16:44 In notoriety, you can distract guards via throwing throwables near them. This includes bricks which are found in the ‘gadget’ section. When you throw them, they will go off their normal patrol paths and go over to the thrown object to investigate. And you can pick them back up by walking over them.
Yeah, it’s a funny one. It’s still the best solution that could come about giving the situation, but it probably is something that has only happened as a result of Payday 3’s struggles.
@@TheKknowley I find it a bit funny in a twisted sense like buying a busted PC and you know EXACTLY the issues but you just try to do such a roundabout way to solve the problem lol
Even with revenue split, I still think it's very little. From what I know, one Robux converted to money is not much (don't know the exact number), because Roblox themselves take most of the earnings.
Hi I’m glad you covered this game! I’m the guy in your server who started ranting about PAYDAY lore and how Bain’s probably an alien. Notoriety is the game that introduced me to PAYDAY 2 :) Love how the game lets you just be overpowered with a sniper rifle and medkits that auto regen. The ability to carry two bags is one that I’ve sorely missed in PAYDAY! The voice lines are that way because they just got the go ahead to add them back into the game. ROBLOX made the devs remove them years back. Also, electrichaos 2018 is the best track before exit the premises and that song by thefatrat. Electrichaos is an original track and it’s. So good. I wish there were proper transitions for the music but you’ve gotta make do. I have lots of good memories with notoriety’s version of shadow raid, honestly. I’m glad it’s back! It’s been like a dream
I have only recently tried Roblox and I was shocked at the quality of the games. It gets a bad rep for being a kids game but there are some very talented people making some very fun games.
yeah people don't realise roblox has some very good games example: grave digger a game where two fight but and hold objectives but everything is inside a cave and to mine there and it has ww1 guns and style.
As someone who has been playing notoriety since it was called heist and won the blox awards. That's what got me into payday 2, heist was so simple and followed old mechanics of payday, dual bag carrying, fifth pager by making a guard hostage and so on. It's just incredible how what got me into payday was a Roblox game
Massive respect for considering the limitations of the Roblox platform in terms of the stuff that negatively impacts the game (like the jank or in-game purchases). This was genuinely a fantastic review to watch, as someone who's never played a proper Payday game.
Notoriety was my first step into the payday world, and I was mad for the longest time that it was gone. But finally, it’s back, and I’m glad to see it return.
the appeal of notoriety to me was it being an easy-access coop heist game that only required a roblox account to play, i started playing about 2020 ( way before we had unique enemies similar to payday 2 ) and have a lot of fond memories of it, plus. It introduced me to the PAYDAY series and eventually your channel. one thing i'm proud of is doing Virtuoso on the Ozelas Heist before the shutdown, the run i got the achievement on took about an hour, plus 30 or so failed runs beforehand. I'm glad to see that the shutdown isn't gonna be permanent as of the 16th :)
after playing Notoriety for so many hours, seeing one of my favorite creators play it was something else. I like your observations in how the game plays out
Here's some changes I can find. The P90 is now a secondary Big Bank is now a lot harder(no buff to exp) Throwables are now their own section The saw is now in the throwables section (now it can get down to three detection) Carrier pigeon is now in the ghost tree Some armors are renamed(civilian armor and super heavy armor) New drill skill reviewed in video You can now carry bodies(no body bag needed) Infinite cable ties The ninja pack That's all I can find in the revival of the game, but there are also some changes before this game was taken down.
this game was my start into the payday franchise. i now have over 250 hours in payday 2. the game has undeniably brought thousands of players to payday
notoreity player here yes, you can put a scope on the saw yes, its intentional also, the only way to get weapon skins is through either specific badges, (aka acheivements), and daily/weekly quests, witch is better than having them paid as that makes it more interactive
@@Mr_Schizo do you mean where weapons are level locked or the weapons have their own level system (a glock at level 3 or something,) cause in either case no, as long as you got the cash either irl for gamepass guns (witch is easy as 5 bucks can get you 500 robux, enough for 1 gun pack with leftover robux,) or ingame cash from doing hiests.
Thank you so much for reviewing this game. As someone who started playing this because of hardware requirements, and now play it more than payday 2 from nostalgia, its great to see positive attention!
The Roblox fan game launches with more content than the 70-90 dollar big budget shooter. Something has gone terribly awry in professional game development.
I actually found out about Payday from Notoriety. I found it as a kid playing Roblox cause that's the best thing my pc could've ran back then and I found about Payday watching a clip about Notoriety. This might actually be a pretty nice thing for payday making it seen by new demographics.
I played Notoriety, before it was shut down. Fun Fact: Just like In Payday 2, the Saw used to be an Primary Weapon, before It was moved to the Gadget slot. But there was no skills, to buff its DMG, or to make it an Secondary, like in Payday 2. TBH, Im happy with the change of Putting the Saw in the Gadget slot
i was absolutely hooked on this game before the shutdown. all of a sudden hearing it come back with an official licence one day was the biggest "WERE SO BACK" ive had this entire year.
I'm glad to hear you liked the game, as a fan of it before and after it was taken down it's good to listen to one of my favorite youtubers agree with my sentiments
It wasn’t, in the notoriety discord, they confirmed that they had no idea that it was similar to the alesco heist and it was purely original, I never liked the gala in entry point, I don’t see why they would take inspiration from that heist.
i used to play notoriety all the time, and its the reason i got into payday. be glad that the game is what it is now, because way back in the day, the game was the buggiest thing you'd find this side of the mississippi, but it has always been incredibly fun, especially with a group of heisting buddies
I had played Notoriety before with my brother and am glad to see this childhood memory unlocked again after being nuked by copyright. I would suggest another ROBLOX game with stealth/loud mechanics and whatnot but I'm satisfied with this. Thank you, Knowley.
When notoriety went down i played payday2 and now when i play notoriety i do things from pd2 which dont work in notoriety like throwing bags to team ai
Whew! I've been playing notoriety since 2016? 2017? I've stuck around through the revamp and even came back after it was released with the "payday experience" subtitle. Its the game that actually got me to go buy and play pd2 once I figured out what it was inspired off. There are a few more interesting games on roblox that you might've heard or gotten suggestions for; Entry Point, an excellent stealth-action FPS with inspiration from PD2 & Hitman:WOA. There are a few interesting up and coming games that may fall into the purview of games loosely inspired by PD2 and other stealth-heisting elements... such as: Under The Radar - With a unique artstyle, gameplay and story. Operators - The demo (which you can play right now,) has three missions. Spotlighting its three main components, stealth, hacking & loud. But... yeah. I'm, of course, glad you made a video on this. It's a neat game.
20:25 about that, I don’t know if the song is still the same, but on art gallery the song is thefatrat’s “do be do be do”, and it makes the map a great bop to play loud in and genuinely gives off the feeling that the cops are mounting up and getting ready to par- I mean rush in
8:07 Game owners get paid by the Roblox Company with robux depending on how many players play the game.(Lets just say 2-3 players = 500 robux. pls correct me if im wrong.) Robux then can be sold back to the Roblox Company for a 285-1$ ratio. So with the amount of players big games get (usually over 1 million each day) you could genuinely get rich from Roblox.
It doesn't work like that, you get some robux if people with premium play your game but that depends on how long you can keep them engaged and I don't think you get much from it, there's also gamepasses which are like dlcs. The reality is that with the amount of competence and how Roblox obviously doesn't want to pay you shit, unless you're lucky and get a lot of kids to play a shitty game it's probably not that profitable. And I didn't even talk about the taxes, you do save on servers costs tho.
A fun Roblox game for sure. One of the best honestly. Glad to see it is back and have been having fun playing it for the first time. My only gripes are some pathing issues. Cops jumping over nothing is annoying but just Roblox jank. Also game is a bit tricky to start into. Mostly just I'm blind as hell and have trouble reading Jade explaining what needs to be done.
Seeing this video on my home page made me give notoriety a second chance now that it's official. I was immediately sent into the hospital upon seeing shadow raid ingame. IMO, it's peak, solely for the reason of me having a pc with barely any storage. I get to have helldivers 2 and (almost) payday 2 now!
24:30 I played both payday 2 and notoriety and I prefer notoriety cuz: - not crashing (I have high end pc) - shorter heists - you dont need to play meta build to complete a mission on nightmere with hardest mutators (it will be very hard but possible) - enemies are not capsules so you are not stuck if 2 enemies push you in to a wall - enemies are not stacking as much as in payday 2 (I hate panic room heist when 999 enemies are on the roof) - better skill tree my favorite perk is pigeon carrier (carry 2 bags) - fun infamy system - I like being fast - clockers are good (a lot better than in AAA payday 3 XD) - stable servers (in payday 2 I hate epic servers and I cant change them to steam cuz my friends play on epic) - only few dlc instead of payday's 9999 dlc - no need to download so inviting people to play is easy - ozela heist - good looking graphic but not realistic and its not blurry
Been playing Notoriety on and off for 6 years literally the game that got me into payday in the first place. Having it come back was such a relief and i have already infamied 3 times since the rerelease. It has and always be my favorite heisting game as its just so simple and way better to grasp at than payday 2 as I constantly struggled with getting the hang of payday 2.
One of my favorite mechanics is that if you go into custody while playing solo, YOU WONT AUTOMATICALLY FAIL THE HEIST! a bot can actually fight till the next wave then trade you!
Having to pay to get some of the really good unique weapons is a shame, but that’s also how it works in Actual Payday 2 and I bet they’re probably quite a bit cheaper in Roblox Payday 2
the only weapon pack that really worth getting is overkill one, where you get minigun as primary and rpg for secondary, its pretty cool but you can live without them as there are alternatives
You should cover how getting to the current max prestige in the game requires 313 billion in game dollars, simply half that with the cheaper infamy gampass, for reference the max prestige is 250.
A lot of features that you see in the re-release were not there before it was taken down, there were originally only 5 game passes being brick bank, golden mask casino, 2x money & xp game passes, and the heavy weapons game pass which all had lower prices then they do now. the re-release added a lot of new weapons with most being paid weapons probably added by starbreeze.
Notoriety is very important for me since I discovered PAYDAY thanks to it. And when they took it down when Payday 3 released I was very sad. But now it is back and licensed by PAYDAY so I'm very happy!
My favorite part about notoriety is that it adds various enemy types that add a unique twist to the game one example is the firebug and before the game was taken down the rocketeer two enemies that I’ve wanted to see in a game like this the firebug uses a flamethrower and has very little range and rushes towards you while not being very tanky they will rip you in half if they get close enough and the rocketeer works like a sniper, that fires explosives they are really cool and I can’t wait to see what other enemies they add
From what I remember, the new version is basicly the same. Some maps and features got removed (gambling for the golden ticket for example). The body moving system has stayed the same, as does the hostage moving.
Imagine going back in time to a year and a half ago and telling an avid kknowley fan (all 5 of them) that in 2024 he'd be playing every payday-like game except payday after Payday 3 finally came out.
I tbh primarily expected him to know that PD3 will take a few years of patching... you know, given that he's a PD youtuber and such - it's not like it happened the first time and like starbreeze would be known to bring out perfect releases (altho I gotta admit that PD3s release state was a masterpiece for their standards). So I'm honestly not exactly surprised, kinda more disappointed in the general community for somehow having expectations unrealistically high on a franchise where people jumped off for various reasons over the years before it became "acceptable" but at the same time not the game people originally bought.
I remember playing all the way back in 2017, then making my way to payday the following year, time to relive old memories Ps the game got reworked multiple times over the years
I know I'm late but, AI navigation is rather difficult with Roblox. While Roblox does have a built-in pathfinding system, it's super jank and often needs lots of help to get working properly. So there's the options of attempting to work around the existing features or writing one fully from scratch.
Will admit, I played a little bit of Notoriety before it was taken down. I'm pretty sure there was like a total of 20 heists but I'm not sure about that. The one thing that I am sure about however was that pathfinding for the cops in loud during heists like jewelry store was almost completely broken (cops getting stuck in the side hallway/on cars in the street). I'm glad to see that the game is more polished/developed according to the video. In terms of microtransactions, thats only to be expected in any number of games in roblox. I'm not saying its not an issue but its very much an "oh well", especially with the amount of free development that goes into these roblox games.
My only regret about this game is the loss of some of the payday based maps, and also the disappearance of some of the achievements. Other than that great game! Play it more!
I'm excited to give this another try, as at first I found it unfamiliar and difficult even as a relatively seasoned Payday 2 player. The review was quite helpful. Should you want to more deeply explore Roblox games, another interesting specimen you could focus on is "AniPhobia", also featuring combats with AI enemies, while in a more open world, survival-like approach. Enemies also have various special powers in it.
lol i play notoriety and played it even before the taking down of it, and still play it now! its fun to see you talk about this game as its what gave me my thirst for the blood of cops. the only reason i dont play payday 2 or 3 is cuz im too poor BUT one day DC will know bloodshed :)
I was there for its original release and played it so often that now that I am playing the re-release, I've realised how much of a no life i was on this game (I am prestige 112). However, this game got me into the heist game types and sunsequently got me into Payday 2. I'll forever love this game as the 1% of roblox games that are actually good.
hey, notoriety dev (technically contractor lol) here!
im really glad that you enjoyed our game :]
ill make sure to bring up your concerns to the other devs.
currently im working on reanimating every single weapon, so ill also try talking to them about if i can add more animated interactions.

they do use gamepasses with "P2W" aspects.

I still love that people get so surprised by games on roblox. I haven’t played notoriety in a while tho, so I had no idea it was taken down
It was taken down like a few days before payday 3 came out, my theory is that starbreeze was scared they would be outdone by a Roblox game
@@goldenblyat4681justifiably it would seem
@@goldenblyat4681 thats insane. Im surprised they are allowed to take it down considering its almost 15 years old at this point

Look into centaura, Hellmet, Stars align demo, Idk about neon knights, and block tales.
@brianhsieh7748 Entry Point is a very good heist game, especially with its stealth system, which can be better than payday games imo

18:58 You don't even need ECMs to rush jewelry store in notoriety, there is a power box in the back of the store that just shuts cams off.
as someone who played notoriety before the takedown
we did 2 bags first LETS GO
The Roblox fan game launches with more content than the 70-90 dollar big budget shooter. Something has gone terribly awry in professional game development.

"Launches," fourteen years after creation
Was glad to see it back, but its basically just a GUI overhaul. It was probably rushed together from files of an old PC its been that long.
I actually found out about Payday from Notoriety. I found it as a kid playing Roblox cause that's the best thing my pc could've ran back then and I found about Payday watching a clip about Notoriety. This might actually be a pretty nice thing for payday making it seen by new demographics.
I love transport as well it was awesome with the old mechanics, i also find it ironic this "knockoff" beats the original playerbase!
As a person who played notoriety all the way back before 2016, before I even knew what a payday was, I am very glad to see it at all again.
I wouldn't be surprised if they straight up port the Ozela heist to payday 3 as a substitute for Alesso
Would be a funny April Fools joke.
I played Notoriety, before it was shut down. Fun Fact: Just like In Payday 2, the Saw used to be an Primary Weapon, before It was moved to the Gadget slot. But there was no skills, to buff its DMG, or to make it an Secondary, like in Payday 2. TBH, Im happy with the change of Putting the Saw in the Gadget slot
i was absolutely hooked on this game before the shutdown. all of a sudden hearing it come back with an official licence one day was the biggest "WERE SO BACK" ive had this entire year.
I'm glad to hear you liked the game, as a fan of it before and after it was taken down it's good to listen to one of my favorite youtubers agree with my sentiments
4:52 Im pretty sure this part was inspired by the auction heist in another roblox payday like, Entry Point.
It wasn’t, in the notoriety discord, they confirmed that they had no idea that it was similar to the alesco heist and it was purely original, I never liked the gala in entry point, I don’t see why they would take inspiration from that heist.
What is bro talking about? The Gala is MUCH more different
Entry point is nothing like payday
i used to play notoriety all the time, and its the reason i got into payday.
be glad that the game is what it is now, because way back in the day, the game was the buggiest thing you'd find this side of the mississippi, but it has always been incredibly fun, especially with a group of heisting buddies
"payday 2 in roblox" i mean. Anything is better than the diesel engine.
I had played Notoriety before with my brother and am glad to see this childhood memory unlocked again after being nuked by copyright. I would suggest another ROBLOX game with stealth/loud mechanics and whatnot but I'm satisfied with this. Thank you, Knowley.
Banger as always
"what day is it?"
*"Its our payday"*
I used to make a bit of content on noteriety before it was called that, forgot what the original name was. So glad to see it make another come back!
It was heist, then it became crime spree, then back to heist, then notoriety
When notoriety went down i played payday2 and now when i play notoriety i do things from pd2 which dont work in notoriety like throwing bags to team ai
Whew! I've been playing notoriety since 2016? 2017?
I've stuck around through the revamp and even came back after it was released with the "payday experience" subtitle.
Its the game that actually got me to go buy and play pd2 once I figured out what it was inspired off.
There are a few more interesting games on roblox that you might've heard or gotten suggestions for; Entry Point, an excellent stealth-action FPS with inspiration from PD2 & Hitman:WOA.
There are a few interesting up and coming games that may fall into the purview of games loosely inspired by PD2 and other stealth-heisting elements... such as:
Under The Radar - With a unique artstyle, gameplay and story.
Operators - The demo (which you can play right now,) has three missions. Spotlighting its three main components, stealth, hacking & loud.
But... yeah. I'm, of course, glad you made a video on this. It's a neat game.
20:25 about that, I don’t know if the song is still the same, but on art gallery the song is thefatrat’s “do be do be do”, and it makes the map a great bop to play loud in and genuinely gives off the feeling that the cops are mounting up and getting ready to par- I mean rush in
The original notoriety was so much fun i really enjoyed playing and even with only playing with randoms everyone worked together so well.
8:07 Game owners get paid by the Roblox Company with robux depending on how many players play the game.(Lets just say 2-3 players = 500 robux. pls correct me if im wrong.) Robux then can be sold back to the Roblox Company for a 285-1$ ratio. So with the amount of players big games get (usually over 1 million each day) you could genuinely get rich from Roblox.
It doesn't work like that, you get some robux if people with premium play your game but that depends on how long you can keep them engaged and I don't think you get much from it, there's also gamepasses which are like dlcs. The reality is that with the amount of competence and how Roblox obviously doesn't want to pay you shit, unless you're lucky and get a lot of kids to play a shitty game it's probably not that profitable. And I didn't even talk about the taxes, you do save on servers costs tho.
A fun Roblox game for sure. One of the best honestly. Glad to see it is back and have been having fun playing it for the first time. My only gripes are some pathing issues. Cops jumping over nothing is annoying but just Roblox jank. Also game is a bit tricky to start into. Mostly just I'm blind as hell and have trouble reading Jade explaining what needs to be done.
7:42 ah yes, knowley joins roblox and is an acorn head. nice to see that he's enjoying notoriety tho
Time for him to get spammed
Ah notoriety, I played it a little bit with buddies but never really bite down on it, mayhap i shall play it again
Starbreeze must feel like a king watching their kingdom fall
you should cover teardown
If you are looking at Roblox heist games, play Entry Point. Good game
Seeing this video on my home page made me give notoriety a second chance now that it's official.
I was immediately sent into the hospital upon seeing shadow raid ingame.
IMO, it's peak, solely for the reason of me having a pc with barely any storage. I get to have helldivers 2 and (almost) payday 2 now!
24:30
I played both payday 2 and notoriety and I prefer notoriety cuz:
- not crashing (I have high end pc)
- shorter heists
- you dont need to play meta build to complete a mission on nightmere with hardest mutators (it will be very hard but possible)
- enemies are not capsules so you are not stuck if 2 enemies push you in to a wall
- enemies are not stacking as much as in payday 2 (I hate panic room heist when 999 enemies are on the roof)
- better skill tree my favorite perk is pigeon carrier (carry 2 bags)
- fun infamy system
- I like being fast
- clockers are good (a lot better than in AAA payday 3 XD)
- stable servers (in payday 2 I hate epic servers and I cant change them to steam cuz my friends play on epic)
- only few dlc instead of payday's 9999 dlc
- no need to download so inviting people to play is easy
- ozela heist
- good looking graphic but not realistic and its not blurry
Been playing Notoriety on and off for 6 years literally the game that got me into payday in the first place. Having it come back was such a relief and i have already infamied 3 times since the rerelease.
It has and always be my favorite heisting game as its just so simple and way better to grasp at than payday 2 as I constantly struggled with getting the hang of payday 2.
notoriety was my introduction to payday, been a fan of the franchise ever since
Kknowley playing Notoriety was not on my 2024 bingo card
One of my favorite mechanics is that if you go into custody while playing solo, YOU WONT AUTOMATICALLY FAIL THE HEIST! a bot can actually fight till the next wave then trade you!
payday youtuber plays notoriety. something truly amazing has happened.
I played this game so much in middle school it’s great to see it back
Having to pay to get some of the really good unique weapons is a shame, but that’s also how it works in Actual Payday 2 and I bet they’re probably quite a bit cheaper in Roblox Payday 2
Plus the base game is free.
@ yes that too, although they are basically selling payday 2 for pennies whenever it goes on sale
the only weapon pack that really worth getting is overkill one, where you get minigun as primary and rpg for secondary, its pretty cool but you can live without them as there are alternatives
@@doomsdaymufffin yea i got the sniper one when it first came out years ago, it sucks, 3 of the same gun pretty much
You should cover how getting to the current max prestige in the game requires 313 billion in game dollars, simply half that with the cheaper infamy gampass, for reference the max prestige is 250.
I’ve played this game before it gotten taken down, it got a huge makeover since last time I saw it.
A lot of features that you see in the re-release were not there before it was taken down, there were originally only 5 game passes being brick bank, golden mask casino, 2x money & xp game passes, and the heavy weapons game pass which all had lower prices then they do now. the re-release added a lot of new weapons with most being paid weapons probably added by starbreeze.
I remember playing it and it's the game that actually got me into payday, besides the reload animation video. But it was a huge reason I got payday 2
Notoriety is very important for me since I discovered PAYDAY thanks to it. And when they took it down when Payday 3 released I was very sad. But now it is back and licensed by PAYDAY so I'm very happy!
Entry point is another good one
entry point is its own thing
Notoriety (used to be Heist) looking at Payday 3: "You couldn't live with your failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me."
My favorite part about notoriety is that it adds various enemy types that add a unique twist to the game one example is the firebug and before the game was taken down the rocketeer two enemies that I’ve wanted to see in a game like this the firebug uses a flamethrower and has very little range and rushes towards you while not being very tanky they will rip you in half if they get close enough and the rocketeer works like a sniper, that fires explosives they are really cool and I can’t wait to see what other enemies they add
There is an m1 abrams in the game now.
It really says a lot that payday is so in the toilet that an officially licensed Roblox game is enough for this community to be a bit happy
There were more payday heists back before it got taken down, such as blood money and go bank, which are missing right now
I remember playing notoriety in 2016-2017, good times
From what I remember, the new version is basicly the same. Some maps and features got removed (gambling for the golden ticket for example). The body moving system has stayed the same, as does the hostage moving.
this looks so much better compared to when i played around 10 years ago
Imagine going back in time to a year and a half ago and telling an avid kknowley fan (all 5 of them) that in 2024 he'd be playing every payday-like game except payday after Payday 3 finally came out.
I tbh primarily expected him to know that PD3 will take a few years of patching... you know, given that he's a PD youtuber and such - it's not like it happened the first time and like starbreeze would be known to bring out perfect releases (altho I gotta admit that PD3s release state was a masterpiece for their standards).
So I'm honestly not exactly surprised, kinda more disappointed in the general community for somehow having expectations unrealistically high on a franchise where people jumped off for various reasons over the years before it became "acceptable" but at the same time not the game people originally bought.
Holy shit it’s back… this is the best gift I’ve gotten.
Notoriety is what introduced me to the Payday franchise. I’m glad it’s back and I can experience those memories again.
Nice to see the game getting the respect it should, also *cough* *cough* if they happen to want a voice actor I am available *unconvincing cough*
I played it far in the past (glad to see it back)
I played this way back in the day. It was a blast despite the (several) bugs
I remember playing all the way back in 2017, then making my way to payday the following year, time to relive old memories
Ps the game got reworked multiple times over the years
I know I'm late but, AI navigation is rather difficult with Roblox. While Roblox does have a built-in pathfinding system, it's super jank and often needs lots of help to get working properly. So there's the options of attempting to work around the existing features or writing one fully from scratch.
Will admit, I played a little bit of Notoriety before it was taken down. I'm pretty sure there was like a total of 20 heists but I'm not sure about that. The one thing that I am sure about however was that pathfinding for the cops in loud during heists like jewelry store was almost completely broken (cops getting stuck in the side hallway/on cars in the street). I'm glad to see that the game is more polished/developed according to the video. In terms of microtransactions, thats only to be expected in any number of games in roblox. I'm not saying its not an issue but its very much an "oh well", especially with the amount of free development that goes into these roblox games.
My only regret about this game is the loss of some of the payday based maps, and also the disappearance of some of the achievements. Other than that great game! Play it more!
As someone whos maxed infamy on notoriety and have 800+ hrs on payday 2 im proud to say. Both is good.
I'm excited to give this another try, as at first I found it unfamiliar and difficult even as a relatively seasoned Payday 2 player. The review was quite helpful.
Should you want to more deeply explore Roblox games, another interesting specimen you could focus on is "AniPhobia", also featuring combats with AI enemies, while in a more open world, survival-like approach. Enemies also have various special powers in it.
Honest to God, similar to others where they got into Payday from this game, i got into Ultrakill from Pressure.
dam, gotta play this when i get back from vacation over at my Gma's
cant wait for the entry point review
lol i play notoriety and played it even before the taking down of it, and still play it now! its fun to see you talk about this game as its what gave me my thirst for the blood of cops. the only reason i dont play payday 2 or 3 is cuz im too poor BUT one day DC will know bloodshed :)
I was there for its original release and played it so often that now that I am playing the re-release, I've realised how much of a no life i was on this game (I am prestige 112). However, this game got me into the heist game types and sunsequently got me into Payday 2. I'll forever love this game as the 1% of roblox games that are actually good.
