James writes, "Having been a big fan of platformers and the Sly Cooper series in general, I was a bit skeptical when I heard that the team that helped do the HD re-launch of the original series was making the next game instead of Sucker Punch developing the continuation of the series"
LLC: "I love games, that bit is probably obvious. But I’m getting on a bit, and was thinking about some the games that need to come back."
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.
The Cooper Gangs Best Adventure Yet - 8.5 O_o
Not really my type of game, but I played the demo, and it seemed like they really nailed the feel of the old games.
great game, just finished it a few days ago. if any of you love the previous sly games, you'll certainly love this one.
and at $40, which includes the vita version, it's a steal of a deal.
Im loving this game on vita... been playing it since it launched nonstop (going for that platinum!)..
Got myself this game and the collection cant wait to start playing them until my collection comes from newegg already got my thieves in time copy from amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
