Western studios Big Red Button and Sanzaru Games will tackle the Japanese mascot for Nintendo's consoles.
With little interest in the future, Sly's latest outing meddles mostly in the past.
Mascot games are kind of my thing. Mario, arguably the first ever platform “mascot” (with all apologies to Pitfall Harry and Pac-Man), is the dude that lured me into a lifelong obsession with video games in the first place. I gobble up practically every one I come across and among them the Sly Cooper games have remained a stand-out franchise. With a trilogy of games hitting the PlayStation 2, it seemed only natural that Sly would find his way to the PlayStation 3. But with Sucker Punch moving on to inFAMOUS it seemed any hope of a current generation Sly game would be going up in smoke. Thankfully Sanzaru, developer of the acclaimed HD trilogy treatment, stepped up to the plate and took the series in its charge. Could they regain Sly’s former glory?
Available now for the PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 3.
Cross play may have just gotten a bit more relevant.
During today's Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, Sony released information about a brand new initiative that will start this fall with the release of its flagship titles. The "Cross Buy" program will allow players who purchase the PlayStation 3 version of a game to also take the same title on the go at no extra cost. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will lead the initiative, netting owners of the PlayStation 3 title a free digital copy for their portable Vita.
Carmelita also confirmed as playable
Developer Sanzaru has been lovingly working on the Sly’s first foray on the PS3 for quite some time. Announced last year, the Cooper gang’s next adventure will take the misfit group through the ages and apparently onto Sony’s latest handheld device, the Vita, as well.
A release window has been announced for the return of Sly.
Sony has told Game Informer that the fourth installment in the Sly Cooper series will be released this fall. Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is being developed by Sanzaru Games, who handled the HD Collection of the series and not Sucker Punch Productions, the original developer of the franchise.
You won't be getting your PS Move mini games if you download.
About two weeks ago, Sony announced that The Sly Collection would be available on the PSN and now some more details are coming in before its release tomorrow. The three games will be $10 each, will be in 720p widescreen display, have 3D support, trophy support, and will run at 60 fps.
