505 Games and Overkill Software have announced that their popular cooperative heist game, Payday 2, will be getting a next-gen upgrade with the Crimewave Edition, coming soon to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This new edition will include enhanced features and bonus content to give fans the definitive iteration.

Up to four players can team up to commit anything from a simple jewelry store smash-and-grab to elaborate, multi-day heists. The Crime.net system replaced the first Payday‘s lackluster story structure with an open, rotating market of time-sensitive jobs scattered across the map. Players can develop their characters in four skill trees to round out the perfect team: the crafty Mastermind, the brutal Enforcer, the gadgeteering Technician, and the slippery Ghost.

We loved Payday 2 when it first came out for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, with our only quibbles being unstable online play and a general lack of technical polish. A few more years of developmental tweaks and some powerful new hardware should readily address all of those issues, though, so Payday 2: Crimewave Edition should be a safe bet.

After the monumental success of the original PlayStation, in no small part due to the best PS1 games pushing sales, Sony followed up with the even more impressive PlayStation 2. This system captured the attention of gamers for obvious reasons, but the public at large for also being one of the cheapest DVD players available.

This time it wasn't just Nintendo and the best GameCube games PlayStation had to compete with, but Xbox entering the market with its own catalog of the best original Xbox games it could put out. Still, the PS2 ended up crushing the competition and remains one of the most beloved consoles ever made. We did our best not to leave any amazing games out of this list of the best PS2 games of all time.
