One of the most popular rumors floating around the Internet last week was that Sly Cooper 4 is coming to the PlayStation 3. The gossip, reportedly attributed to the next issue of PSM, was popularized at PlayStation fan site PSX Extreme (http://www.psxextreme.com/psp-news/934.html) and it spread to message boards from there. In the article, PSXE claimed that PSM held an interview with the Sucker Punch development team where the following was said regarding the newest installment of Sly Cooper.
"The graphics have been majorly overhauled and the gameplay will be more varied and focused this time around. We're aiming for a fully interactive 3D world, with no loads and seamless interaction between settings and characters."
Hit the jump for the official word and the truth on the future of Sly Cooper.
"2013 was a pretty freaking huge year in gaming. We saw the release of many large, multi-year games that blew us out of the water, such as The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, and GTA V as well as many innovations in the indie scene, such as Gone Home and Papers, Please. Here are my picks for the most awesome things of the year in the video gaming realm, as well as the worst news of the industry." - Jake Petersen of Geekenstein
Yami from Twinfinite writes: "I wish I had all the time in the world for the multitude of video series ideas I have. My beloved VGAD series has suffered and it’s heart breaking. I found this old gem of advertising ideas for Sly Cooper 4, Assassin’s Creed III, Ni No Kuni, and MGR: Revengeance. I really hope I can make this a recurring thing because it’s pretty damn fun sharing with you ad ideas. I love advertising (obviously) and whatever will help people see that it’s really not so terrible works for me!"
TGH Writes: "How do you go about bringing a stagnant franchie back to life? This was the task levelled at Sanzaru Games – a developer who’s catalogue is little more than ports and tweaks of other studios titles bar the mediocre Ninja Reflex (their first title). However, for their second original title they enter into the world created by Sucker Punch by creating the sequel Sly Cooper fans have been waiting for. Luckily they didn’t stroll in blindly to make their mark upon the franchise as they previously revamped the PlayStation 2 series in a wonderful HD collection. It certainly shows though as Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time only shows splashes of something new."
this game is amazing, so fun so beautifully made.
every PS3/vita owner should buy it and on top of that it's cheap
This was one of my most anticipated games.
Surely a next-gen Sly Cooper is in the works but only going to be revealed at the right time. E3 is probably too early for it.
The Sly Cooper series is one of my favorite series of all time!
I'd be soo happy to see it hit the PS3:)
I shall not be denied!
Well few days ago i asked them on theri mail and got this answer
