Video: Hands on with Payday 2: Crimewave Edition

It's a deal, it's a steal.

STICK 'EM UP, THIS IS A ROBBERY! That's probably what I should have shouted upon entering my most recent heist target, the Benevolent Bank - it would have been the sensible option. Instead, I threw a grenade at my feet and accidentally downed myself before the tellers even had the chance to trigger the alarm. With a performance like that, I should probably stick to virtual heisting in future.

Payday 2's Crimewave Edition offers the best console version of Payday 2 so far, improving on the visuals of the 360 and PS3 builds while adding a bunch of brand new content which was previously only available for PC. But is it any good? I spent a couple of hours with the PS4 version of Payday 2 and brought back some exclusive gameplay and a swag bag full of first impressions, which are packaged neatly in that there video thing below.
