Payday looked alright. I never got it because it looked too shallow and I didn't have any friends playing it, but with Valve I could see them making something cool.

Payday was excellent, my most unexpected quality game in a long time. Looking forward to some DLC for it.
I hope this is Payday 2. Rumours suggest they are working on it along side the DLC.

Oh, my. I'm a big L4D whore... if it's a blend of it and PAYDAY (of which I've heard good things), then I'm definitely interested.

Meanwhile Turtle Rock is stuck with the rotting remains of THQ.
Haven't played Payday yet but I can't say no to more Valve. Hopefully not just L4D3.

It might be a set of DLC/updates for both Payday and Left 4 Dead that has a lot of crossovers. Like the hint in the news piece is that Payday will be getting a No Mercy inspired campaign.
The Steam Forum's thread about this by a developer is named:

Wait, so this is actually a Payday / L4D crossover game? Interesting...

Interesting, but please, no zombies. I want a gameplay mix of those games, but not the settings.

You know it's gonna happen.
you get to steal brains!
in all seriousness this sounds kinda weird if its anything big, from what i gather Payday is cool but pretty mediocre. Its kinda unlike Valve to "team up" with someone to make something like this unless its some kind of "portal themed levels in indie games for Portal 2 ARG!" kinda thing.
something summer sale related?
edit: also think thread title should reflect Left 4 Dead..

More Left 4 Dead, can't say no to that.
Yes and no -- it's a bit of a convoluted situation. After years of being partners, Valve acquired Turtle Rock in early 2008, renaming them to Valve South, only to later (some time after the release of Left 4 Dead) dissolve the company and allow those who didn't want to work at Valve proper to revive Turtle Rock.
Well I doubt whatever they're doing is going to be on console, so...
What makes you say that? Unless it's some F2P game, I'd expect future Valve releases that lend themselves to consoles to be on consoles -- both of them.
Edit: Well, if it's just some crossover nonsense then it won't be.
I always assumed Valve preferred to work with privately held companies (like themselves), not that it instantly produces particular advantages but it's more flexible to have an evolving relationship if the collaboration turns out to be very successful and easier to avoid hostile takeovers along the way.
Overkill Software was acquired by Starbreeze last month and they are publicly traded.

This is pretty much my reaction. Summer sale seems like a good candidate.

Hidden path are developing counter-strike: global offensive. In fact valve has a long history of colloborating with others companies.

You're mssing out. It's a heist game done right. Nothing mediocre about it and easily worth $5 on Amazon.
Yes, and one that'd be pretty great given the proper amount of care.

Wow, I read a thread a few days ago in the Payday forums about some new easter eggs possibly tying into L4D (poster of Zoey, movie posters including one zombie one, L4D medpacks lying around), but I didn't think it'd actually happen.
Zoey looks pretty good with her hair down.

Except Valve is better than Capcom.The corpse of GRIN, as bought by Starbreeze, is working with Valve on something Left 4 Dead related.
It's like a double Capcom maneuver.

By the way, PAYDAY is great. Only problem I see with it is the lonely community.

Payday would have been much better if it was only pc game. But with the PS3 around the corner we have to wait YEARS instead of months (because they are a small team) to get another update/DLC

The best thing about Payday is how one of the characters is this really passive-aggressive diatribe about Square-Enix.
It's 5 bucks right now on Amazon and registers on Steam. Go go go

Well isn't turtle rock tied up with THQ?
Payday was a pretty good L4D type game. I would be cool if they helped make L4D3
