Sly Cooper appears to be making another trip onto Sony's handheld. The Sly Collection was released on the PlayStation 3 in 2010, and served to prove Sanzaru's Cooper bona fides before they developed this year's Thieves in Time. The game has now been rated for Vita as well.
Garnett Lee is away at DICE this week, but never fear! Jeff Cannata, Jeff Mattas, Andrew Yoon, and Alex Albrecht convene for this week's spirited episode of Weekend Confirmed. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time gets a glowing recommendation from Andrew, Mattas talks about his experience playing through Dead Space 3 twice in one week, and Alex opines about a big crop of past and present MMORPG's. Cannata also shares his very impressive, hands-on experience with Google Fiber, and an extra-strength dose of Finishing Moves puts the wrapping on this week's show.
Fans are a fickle bunch, rarely accepting of change. Dare to give a character a new haircut, or hire a new voice actor, and they'll parade forums, threatening boycotts and other general nastiness. But, stick too closely to an established formula, and gamers will complain of staleness. How does a developer find that delicate balance when creating a sequel?
Developer Sanzaru Games has an even more difficult task at hand. The Sly Cooper franchise has been dormant for over seven years, and the original trilogy has been placed on a pedestal for many. To make matters worse, how can a new developer take over the reigns from now-Infamous developer, Sucker Punch? Although Thieves in Time has all these handicaps going against it, Sanzaru Games not only makes a sequel befitting of the franchise, but raises the bar. Sly 4 isn't just a love letter to fans--it is one of the finest platformers to ever grace a PlayStation system.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is coming February 5, but it will require a few less coins than you might have been expecting. Sony announced today that the game will cost $39.99 for the PlayStation 3 version. As the game is part of the cross buy program, the $40 price tag includes a download of the Vita game at no extra cost.
It's been seven years since Sly Cooper and the gang went on a new adventure. For many fans, getting any sequel would be acceptable. For a while now, Sanzaru's Thieves in Time felt like it was providing exactly that: a sequel that stuck very close to Sucker Punch's original trilogy. While it was serviceable, it didn't feel like a sequel that was worthy of the seven-year wait.
The newest build of Sly 4 has completely changed my opinion of the game. This isn't just a good Sly game; it has the potential to be one of the best.
If you were a bit bummed when you heard Sly Cooper was going to be a no show this year, then take heart. Sony's favorite raccoon will arrive in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on February 5 for PlayStation 3 and Vita.
The time-traveling fourth installment of the Sly Cooper series has slipped into 2013, Sony has secretly revealed. Thieves in Time for PS3 and Vita may have slipped into the early part of next year, but at least one purchase will unlock both versions of the game.
Want to get PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale on both your PS3 and Vita--but don't want to buy two copies of it? Don't worry, Sony has confirmed that the upcoming mascot brawler will be a "Cross Buy" game. What does that mean? It means if you buy the PS3 version of the game, you'll get the Vita version of the game for free as well.
The Ratchet & Clank Collection will be available on August 28th on Blu-ray and PlayStation Network. For $29.99, you'll get 1080p HD remastered versions of Ratchet & Clank, Going Commando, and Up Your Arsenal. In addition to the games, the collection will also include first access to the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time demo. There's also a bonus PSN avatar for you to use.
Today's episode of Shacknews Daily shows off the Amazing Spider-Man in a video displaying his new Web Rush skills. Then, Garnett examines the new Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time game coming to the Vita, featuring cross-platform saves. Finally, the possibility of a new Battlefield 3 premium service is discussed, with five new map packs available for one price.
Check out the new episode of Shacknews Daily.
Fans have been waiting a long time for a proper Sly Cooper sequel. Sanzaru Games, the developers of the Sly HD Collection, have been working on an original title. Thieves in Time makes good on Bentley's promise at the end of Sly 3, creating a time machine that opens up all sorts of time-traveling antics for Sly and the gang.
Apparently, Sly Cooper has quite the diverse genetic history--one that rivals Desmond from Assassin's Creed. For example, the gang goes back to see Sir Galleth, one of the earliest members of the Cooper Clan.
One of the more intriguing features of the Vita is its ability to cross-play games from the PS3. So far, only a few titles have launched on both platforms: MLB 12 The Show and MotorStorm RC, for example. However, Sony has just announced a pretty big addition to the Vita: the next Sly Cooper game, Thieves in Time.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time has officially joined the ranks of Sony's fall PlayStation 3 exclusives, developer Sanzaru Games has announced. The thieving raccoon's return will mark the character's first new game in this generation, after Sanzaru's Sly Collection rekindled our fond memories of the furry Ocean's 11.
Today's Filter includes an update trailer for City of Heroes, a developer walkthrough of a Star Wars: The Old Republic instance, a teaser trailer for Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai, a Comic-Con trailer for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, a gameplay trailer for Bodycount, and two new trailers for F1 2011.
QUICKTAKE: Sly Cooper is making his return, seven years after Sly 3 on the PS2. Thieves in Time, developed by Sanzaru Games, takes the time-traveling motif a bit too far, though. Instead of offering a PS3-level Sly experience, Sly 4 feels like a much-too-late PS2 game.
THE DEMO: Although Sly Cooper made his debut at Sony's E3 press conference, he wasn't quite ready for the show floor. Shown behind closed doors, the developers provided a hands-off walkthrough of a level and a boss battle. The platforming sequences look ripped out of the previous Sly games, even including some nostalgic banter between Sly, Bentley and Murray. There's a new costume gimmick that allows you to gain various time-altering powers. In the demo, Sly was able to slow down time, letting him jump on platforms that would otherwise be too fast.
