Sly cooper thread

ryannumber1gamer

Since Thieves in time is coming out in a few months i think a Sly Cooper thread would be good. So first i got a question. What episode do you hate the most in Sly 2 and 3. Mine is episode 3 from Sly 2 because of how much i hate the map and there were missions i hated ( The mission where you need to find stuff in high places and the mission where you need to keep a bug in water)

BlankCanvasDJ

Might help if you reminded us which missions were which. The Sly games were some years back now. I seem to recall not being too fond of the jungle level in Sly 2.

ryannumber1gamer

Sorry the missions were Water Bug Run,Freeing the Elephant and also 2 more i hate is Spice Grinder Destruction, and Blow the Dam. I will admit the operation mission (final mission) of this episode was great

RetroVortex

I need to get around to playing these.
(Bought them in a PSN sale. Haven't played them yet. (arcade machine has been distracting me! XD))

Mr Nutt

The only part I can really say I hated was the boss fight with Mz. Ruby. You would know why if you played the first one.

Thanks also at least i got all 3 platinum trophies in the sly trilogy.......I hate finding precursor orbs in Jak 2 and 3.

BlankCanvasDJ

Thanks, Darth!

I also remember not being a huge fan of Rumble Down Under but most of the rest of them were gold.

I actually liked the boss fight with Ruby, even though I die a lot on it.

Rating:7/10. It is the worst episode in the game in my opinion but it's not bad at all. Just conpared to the other episodes it's the worst. My problems were the place around the safehouse where you had to run to places to start the missions was badly designed and made getting to missions a job and it had a few bad missions but still the good missions make this episode good.

A new costumes trailer is out for Sly Cooper Thieves In Time

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/10/31/sly-cooper-gets-dressed-up-for-special-halloween-trailer/

BlankCanvasDJ

It's looking good!

Have they toned down Sly's new pointy design a little bit or am I just getting more used to it?

ryannumber1gamer

If you mean in cutscenes for Sly Thieves In Time, I don't think so but he,Bentley,Murray and everyone else look good ingame....But i do not like Carmelita's ingame design

ryannumber1gamer

So for people in the USA who got a Sly 4 demo when they got the R&C Trilogy/Collection how is it?

ryannumber1gamer

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/01/09/brand-new-sly-cooper-thieves-in-time-trailer-sneaks-in/

ryannumber1gamer

Sony made a 5 minute short for Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. It's called Timing is Everything and it's about Sly breaking into Mugshot's airplane to steal a watch and running into Carmelita and other problems.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RI6vkyyK4Lc

JuntMonkey

I played the demo via Playstation Plus. Pretty good. Picking up coins is annoying though and hopefully won't be too necessary in the full game.

ryannumber1gamer

You guys in the US are lucky, I don't even know will we get the demo this week for PS Plus members. (We didn't get it last week like you guys )

ryannumber1gamer

Well there's some more Sly stuff. First Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is already out in the US for people who don't know. Also people in the UK, have to wait until the 27th or 29th (I'm not sure which one.)

Anyway the new things are first...

UK Demo Release,Bentley's Hackback (It's Bentley's hacking minigames with extra levels,and trophies), and The Launch Trailer)-
[url] http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/02/08/sly-cooper-thieves-in-time-demo-release-date-and-brand-new-trailers/ [/url]
There is also 2 new Sly Cooper shorts

Carmelita's Love Connection-http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=t6d3un1_Pq8

ryannumber1gamer

Just a reminder to people in the UK that the Sly demo is now on the Playstation Store.

ryannumber1gamer

There's a new Sly Cooper Presents short. This one is about Murray and is called Murray's Mailbag.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/03/11/murray-takes-the-spotlight-in-new-sly-cooper-thieves-in-time-trailer/

ryannumber1gamer

Well time for some new trailers and a update!

First the trailers

Sly's Psychic Connection:http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/03/20/new-sly-cooper-thieves-in-time-trailer-greetings-from-sly/

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time TV Trailer:http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/03/27/sly-cooper-thieves-in-time-launches-on-ps3-and-ps-vita-this-week/

Anyway now that Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is finally out in the UK, i'm now on Ep 5 in it and i think its great!. I like the jobs this time around and there is hardly any jobs that i was annoyed to have to do in it. This is one of my issues with the second and third Sly game since there were missions i completely hated doing like

Having to pickpocket The Contessa

and

TNT run

and

The Tank mission

in Sly 2 and in Sly 3

Cooper Hanger Defence

,

Dimitri's swimming missions

, and some other missions. Anyway the game is pretty good so far in my opinion

ryannumber1gamer

Guess what HD game collection may be coming to vita next [url]http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/04/21/esrb-rates-the-sly-collection-for-playstation-vita [/url]

Mr Nutt

I've recently beaten Thieves in Time. While I mostly enjoyed it, here's some things I couldn't stand.

• Bentley
• Everything to do with
  Carmelita's belly dance scene
• Penelope's betrayal that came out of nowhere and for a completely dumb reason
