The blow the safe fast or take longer choice is the best idea they showed

Speed versus profit inside a single robbery, decided in the moment, with the police response timer running against you. That is a whole design philosophy in one mechanic.

Every heist in V was planned in advance and then executed. This is a decision you make while your hands are shaking. If they have built that into ordinary robberies rather than set piece missions then the moment to moment of this game is going to be much better than V's.
