I think this has potential - It's out on October 4th. 4 player co-op bank robbing, using various skills, techniques, hostage trading, violence, etc. Includes skill trees and customisation. There seems to be multiple ways to rob each bank - Blow up the roof and fly the safe out, level up safe cracking skills and hack in, try to negotiate using hostages, etc Anyone else interested in robbing banks with me? store.steampowered.com/app/24240/

From the official website: Six High-Intensity Heists to Pull: Whether you’re blowing the roof off a building to extract a safe via helicopter or emptying the vault at the First World Bank, these action packed heists will have players checking their six in the living room. Interactive Co-op Gameplay: Whether AI or live, your crew of four must operate as one to bring home the bacon. Sharing extra ammo and medic kits, helping regen wounded partners, distributing tasks like guarding key positions, taking civilian hostages or cracking through various security measures. It’s one for all and all for one. Endless Replayability: Dynamic, adaptive environments combined with non-scripted enemy behavior, shifting entry points, FBI agents repelling down on ropes through the skylights, SWAT teams crashing through the windows or special units crawling through the ventilation shafts makes play-through of every heist a unique fight. Massive Character Progression Tree: Choose a specialty – assault, sharpshooter or support – players gain weapons and equipment that fit their preferred form of violence. Unlock trip mines, silenced pistols, machine guns and much, much more. Shout Out Button: Players need to be vocal and shout commands and directions to the co-op crew, as well as hostages and the police if they want to survive to spend their cut of the take. Hostage Trading: Hostages can be a lifeline. If anyone in the crew is taken into custody, trade hostages to get crew members back and increase the odds of completing your objectives. PlayStation® or PC: For keyboard and mouse marksman, as well as handheld controller snipers, PAYDAY is the uber FPS for a high intensity shooter fix. Source: www.overkillsoftware.com/payday/

I saw this aaaaaaaaaaages ago when it was revealed at some game show, but didn't make a post on here. It was revealed as a little PSN game/Small downloadable type game, so I wasn't sure it had potential.
It's inspired by the bank robbery scene in the newer Batman films, Heat, etc.
It looks like it's come a long way if the vids from the last few weeks are anything to go by. It's made by SOE, though, which is both good AND bad (Planetside GOOD, fucking up SWG BAD).
I'll probably give it a go for £12-£15.

Ditto Stu - I heard about it ages ago, but then it fell off the radar. It is indeed a little cheap game (£15), published by Sony (not made by them).
Also, apparently it's NOT just banks you rob.. Some missions have you breaking into embassies, hijacking convoys, etc
Gameplay vids look fun, as long as there's 3 or 4 of you working together.
