GodisaGeek: "Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is Sly Cooper back on top form and finally on the PlayStation 3. It’s been a long time coming but what we’re presented with at the end of it is a game that’s polished, well-made and brimming with extra features that will keep the completionist in us all coming back for more and more. This might very well be the best game currently on the market to showcase the cross-play feature of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita too, as it takes what could have been a complicated feature and simplifies it down to a level that anyone can use with relative ease; not to mention that you can play a Sly Cooper game while you’re out and about. You can’t do that with any other game so far, so that’s really got to count for something. If you haven’t played a Sly Cooper game before, this is the perfect jump-in point, fresh-looking and fun. What more could you ask for?"
After Sly Cooper Thieves in Time was released on PS3 in 2013, Sanzaru Games has not had the chance to revisit the raccoon and his gang.
Is it law that every Sly game from Sly 2 onwards end on a massive cliffhanger? I wouldn’t be as anxious for a Sly 5 if they just gave Sly 4 a succinct ending.
On another note we still have yet to hear anything about how that Sly Cooper television series is coming along.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Lead Designer talks about his passion for the project, how they would love to return the world of Sly Cooper, and how the first episode of the DLC is completely written.
“So all I can is that if you guys want more Sly Cooper let Sony know. We are always ready to dig into that and it was a great franchise to work on. It was a great project.“
Everyone flood Sony and let them know! I’d love to have a new Sly game on PS5.
This!
This game got massacred with reviews for no reason what so ever other than it was sonys swan songs along with god of war ascension of which also got hit.
I actually think Thieves in Time was better than Sly Cooper 3 and I’m surprised it reviewed worse than its predecessor.
Incoming unpopular opinion!
I thought Thieves in Time was decent, but a bit of a letdown to be honest. Sly 3 ended perfectly, giving a conclusion of sorts for the main 3 characters while still leaving a little room for imagination, and had some of the best moments from the entire series, (The fight with General Tsao, anyone?) then Thieves in Time comes along with its lame villain, destroys Penelope's character, (I legitimately thought she was being brainwashed or something. Plus, why the boss fight in that crappy little mech suit when she's a master combatant and tech wiz?) and logic that makes no sense even in a cartoon world, such as Sly purposely being sent to prison so he can break out by... Throwing the one ton iron ball he's chained to to break through the wall? When he's never showed this type of strength before, and never displays a similar feat ever again? Plus I thought the levels were better designed in earlier games, and the cast of controllable characters in 3 was much more diverse and interesting. Sucker Punch were the true masters of this series.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The stealth genre is one that some would argue doesn’t even exist – many titles include stealth elements, but actually fit into one of a number of other genres like action, platformer, or third-person shooter. Ever since the breakout success of the Metal Gear franchise (in particular Metal Gear Solid), though, the genre seems on much more stable footing and it demonstrated that you can have a veritable blockbuster on your hands relying only on stealth mechanics as the main gameplay element.
In recent years we’ve seen other things like Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Splinter Cell continue to push the genre forward, although it still has somewhat limited appeal. Thankfully, the Vita has a healthy selection of stealth games available (and even more with backwards-compatibility), meaning if you’re looking to do some sneaking on the go then you’ll be well served with the console."
This game is just awesome. Funny to play (but not too hard tbh), funny to watch and with a lot of variety in the gameplay. Art direction and voice actor are excellent.
I Love Sly games!!!
It will only be available next week in Europe! I still havent finished Ni no Kuni and just received God of War..
Does anyone know where i can buy time to play all this?
My girlfriends daughter is 7. She loves this game so much. She makes me watch her play it all the time. This game should have been advertised better. It's as good as a Mario game if not better
@abzdine - Yes, it's totally cross platform in that respect.
