Junkie Monkeys: For those who are out of the loop, the original voice actor for Sly Cooper, Kevin Miller, has recently responded to fans who were asking about the new movie. He says that he was never asked to reprise his role in the new Sly Cooper film. With that, the teams at Blockade Ent. and Rainmaker Ent. have responded to fans concerns.
The PS2 birthed various notable PlayStation mascots, but Ratchet and Clank appear to be the only ones that made it on every later console generation.
We needed remakes of Jak and Daxter more than pumping out an unnecessary "remake" of Last of Us.
Then again, we're hilariously now getting a "remake" of Horizon Zero Dawn, so Sony is already outdoing themselves.
People on here go at me because I always take jabs at Sony, but it's because I want to see them do better.
Do they make great games? Of course. As of this gen does their ecosystem suck? I'd say definitely yes.
They're becoming more anti consumer by the day.
Mad
It's not PlayStation bro it's Jimbo and his cronies thinking the success of because of them and not guys like Shawn layden, Andrew house etc
I get that. Jim needs to go. At the same time, we're still the consumer, and Sony is still the people doing the hiring and writing the checks. They need to stop turning a blind eye to how Playstation is being handled right now and get things back on track.
This isn't last generation. Xbox is real competition again. You're seeing a lot of people getting tired of what they're doing with the brand the last couple of years.
I don’t think so for some reason the title mascot is always given to “platformers” characters like Mario in particular when it comes to games.
Miscrosoft tried d to make master chief it’s mascot but it never really stuck because those characters appeal to a small percentage of gamers.
God of War on PS2 does have platforming elements in it, if Jak & Daxter and Ratchet can be considered platformers with the inclusion of minor platforming elements in them then so can God of War.
What a mascot is though is simply a game series based around a "named character". Solid Snake is a mascot, Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter is a mascot, Lara Croft is a mascot etc... we really don't get many franchises based around a single named protagonist anymore.
Master Chief is 100% Microsoft's mascot and yes he does appeal to a very wide range of gamers. He's a space marine much akin to the Terran in Starcraft, whats not to love.
blinx was the xb mascot, not master chief. but they gave up on blinx after the 2nd game which is sad as there was lots of potential there. They should bring him back.
So the definition of a mascot is that they have to be cartoony and platform characters? Makes little sense to me.
Mascot, Icon, whatever word you want to use, Kratos is definitely part of that Playstation definition. And yeah, Master Chief is one for Xbox for whatever it's worth.
Nahh we don’t need these kind’s of games we need more walking slimulators like Naughty Dog games and remakes of games that aren’t even 10 years old because they make money right Sony. The fact that R&C is still around AND still good is a goddamn miracle that i’m very grateful for.
lol it's funny how your only game is about Sony games because Microsoft has no games to compare to :p
Which is absolutely fine since he wasn't comparing Sony to MS in his comment to begin with.
Its obvious your just hating levii92. You can call last of us whatever the f you want Ill call it one of the best games Ive played. Also if you cant see the huge drastic difference in graphics between a ps3 and subsequent remaster to ps4 which didnt change the looks to much to a remake for ps5 where the graphics are phenomenal then thats on you lil guy. And its far from a walking simulator Id guess you never even played it.
Truth is the last of us is fantastic and if you dont wanna pay that much for it wait, if you even play ps which I doubt. It was just 50 bucks everywhere. Im still waiting until its 30 or so cause I dont like to spend over 30 40 bucks on any games these days.
On the bright side atleast you can stand in the corner or something cause I know the other system doesnt have alot going on these days.
Levii, does it bother you that the remake came out 9.25 years after the original? Would your balls not be squeezed as hard if it was delayed 9 months?
You are not wrong. The probably two biggest ps5 exclusives next year are the second chapter of FF7 (remake) and Knights of the old Republic (remake).
the last R+C (rift apart) was definitely way better than I wanted to give it credit for before playing. still one of the best, most impressive ps5 games imo.
the game is so good, the only flaw I want to highlight is the fact that it's a little bit short for my liking. I want more of it damn it!
From PS Blog: "Happy 20th birthday, Sly Cooper! Today we are so happy (and a little bit shocked) to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus! Where does the time go? Originally shipped on September 23, 2002 for PS2, this was Sly’s original adventure (known as Sly Racoon in some parts of the world) and our studio’s first-ever PlayStation game!
Before we ready our party hats and cake, we have some brand new Sly Cooper merchandise to reveal today to celebrate the milestone. But first we wanted to look back on Sly’s legacy across the whole franchise and share memories from some of our team who helped shape Sly Cooper into the series we know and love, back when some of them had a little more hair or a little less gray in it."
Great series. Sly is super popular here in Finland and I'm very happy about it.
Sly Cooper was the only mascot I really liked. Jak and Dexter 1 was cool but nothing like a sneaky ninja racoon
It is dismaying that Sly Cooper will not be getting a reboot soon, especially when other classic platformers are enjoying a renaissance.
I'd rather have another infamous, but I'd rather have another Ghost of Tsushima first
Only.so many hours in the day.
Sucker punch recently said in their 25th anniversary no infamous or sly for now they’re busy with their new games but maybe in the future

Unfortunately they got no plans for infamous of sly 😢
PlayStation can just commission Sly Cooper and Infamous to another Studio to remake it.
Sly Cooper got a remastered collection and a new game Thieves in Time for PS3. It didn’t bite unfortunately. There were also rumors of a television show but that seems to have fallen off. I love Sly but I don’t know what would trigger a resurgence for the series.
I would love sky cooper to make a return I remember first playing band of thieves man I swear yo it had one of the dopest vibe, the atmosphere the music, it was funny too
The movie looks promising though, however I'm a sucker for the original team being a part of something like this, something as big as this happening without them is like a punch to the gut.
I don't know how i feel about this. I hope its good.
I don't like the look of the gang. Can't they make it the same but with CGI? Why did they choose to go for a more realistic look, like if they were almost real animals in costume?
I didn't even notice that it wasn't the same voice actor.
Sounds like the film budget isn't yet set from Sony. And if they have enough money they will cast him.
Love that Sony are doing this though. Starting to become one cohesive company instead of a multitude of separate companies working at odds. Some of their IP would even be great for weekly episodic adventures.
