TSA: "Thieves in Time is a very fun game and everything appears to be in order here. It doesn’t pander to fans of previous instalments, nor does it alienate newcomers with complicated controls or a steep difficulty curve. The game has a few tricks up its sleeve which, when matched with the refined Sly gameplay, should make for a great adventure. Sly’s back and he might just be better than ever."
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.
Absolutely loving the look of the game, and based on impressions it's gonna be something amazing. Fun gameplay, variety, "stellar" presentation. Really refreshing to see support for games like this in the sea of modern shooters. Any game that is cel shaded, at least gets my attention, and this has it in spades. I can see it being 2013's "A Crack in Time".
I just can't believe we're getting Ni no Kuni, BioShock Infinite, God of War Ascension and Sly 4 in the first 3 months of next year. Amazing.
Could be the best game of this gen,, if not of all time
I'm dying for a release date!
Sly cooper could very well be the best 3d platformer on ps3 and one of the best platformers of all timne. It just have this old school platforming feel to it, which is brilliant
