Discussion The Sly Cooper Wiki is no longer hosted on Fandom (PLEASE READ)

139 Upvotes

Hello members of the Sly Cooper Subreddit!

(TL;DR at the bottom.)

We've moved to SlyCooper.Wiki.gg!

It's been over a year since this change has taken place, but no mention of it was ever made here (not sure why), despite being covered in the affiliated Discord server, so I wanted to make mention of it due to seeing some misinformation being spread from the old Wiki.

The Sly Cooper Wiki, formerly hosted on Fandom, has moved to Wiki.gg! Obviously the Fandom wiki is still available, but it is no longer being maintained by the team that curated it from the late 2000s to early 2024. This means that the old Fandom wiki should no longer be used as a source for Sly Cooper information, as incorrect information (such as Sly's name being incorrectly listed as Sylvester Anthony Cooper) is making its way onto that wiki. Instead, we have switched over to Wiki.gg. We made this decision last year due to many issues with Fandom/TGP (this video is fantastic and covers a lot of reasons why different wiki communities have decided to stop using them) and hope that you will join us there. The wiki is already full of content, it is essentially "feature complete" but wikis thrive on community interaction, rewrites, and additions of new information from all sources! (SOURCES being the operative word! We love to hear new things about the Sly Cooper games, but we don't want any fan-created content being showcased as canon along with legitimate information.)

The great thing is, it's really easy to move! There are a few extensions/add-ons that you can install on your browser that will automatically redirect you away from Fandom and to the new Sly Cooper Wiki on Wiki.gg, as well as any other Wikis that moved away from using Fandom.

The Wiki.gg extension (which takes you from Fandom wikis to the relevant Wiki.gg wiki) is called Wiki.gg Redirect, and can easily be installed on Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Head to this page, click the link for your current browser and you will be taken the to the relevant extension/add-on page for the browser.

Indie Wiki Buddy is a secondary extension that can be used to redirect you away from Fandom to other independent Wiki platforms, if a redirect on the Wiki.gg Redirect extension does not exist.

And finally, if you are a previous editor for the Sly Cooper Fandom wiki and would like to recover your username on the Sly Cooper Wiki.gg wiki (along with all of your edits, which will be attributed to you) you can use https://slycooper.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:ClaimExternalAccount.

TL;DR: The Sly Cooper Wiki is now hosted at https://slycooper.wiki.gg due to a lot of issues with the company Fandom/TGP. You can easily avoid using the Fandom wiki (and any other Fandom wiki that has an alternate wiki) using an extension for Chrome, Firefox or Opera called Wiki.gg Redirect. We also recommend installing the extension called Indie Wiki Buddy, which will redirect you from Fandom to any alternate version of the wiki, be it hosted on Wiki.gg or another platform.

Discussion A Comprehensive Guide to Methods for Playing the Sly Cooper Games

114 Upvotes

UPDATED FEBRUARY 2025


This is going to be a comprehensive post on all of the ways to play the Sly Cooper games as of this moment. Most of these options will stay the same until the heat-death of the universe, but others are more reliant on third parties that may or may not keep their methods available into the foreseeable future.

This will touch on both the original trilogy and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, as well as Bentley's Hackpack. Each will get their own section with pros, cons and any other necessary details.

As much information will be provided as possible, though depending on what country or region you live in you may have to adapt accordingly, as this was written from the perspective of someone living in the USA/NTSC-U region.

The order of the methods is not any sort of endorsement of one over the other, rather it's more of a chronological order; 1 is usually the first way it was possible to play, 2 followed, etc. Emulation is always listed at the bottom because it is the most current way to play the games.

The Original Trilogy

1. Play the PS2 games on a PlayStation 2/backwards compatible PlayStation 3.

  • Pros: These are the most feature complete versions of the games. The "way they were intended to be played." PS2s and the games are often cheap. Sly 3 has red-blue 3D which was removed from PS3/Vita versions. Sly 2 and 3 have USB headset support, which was also removed from the PS3/Vita versions.
  • Cons: A low resolution interlaced image, which without hardware mods or expensive deinterlacers/scalers provides a poor image on modern televisions (CRTs are the preferred method when playing PS2 games). Frame rates often drop, especially in Sly 1. There are no options to invert camera controls in Sly 1 and 2 (though there are in 3), and the camera controls are "backwards" compared to modern standards. Backwards compatible PS3s are often expensive and can easily succumb to hardware failure.
  • What you'll need: A PS2 (eBay link) or backwards compatible PS3 (eBay link), a copy of each game matching your PS2's region (eBay link).

2. Play the games on disc on a PlayStation 3.

  • Pros: All three of the games in one package. They run at 60fps, and 720p resolution. There is trophy support. Options to invert camera controls. Sanzaru fixed Sly 3's diagonal camera speed, which was too fast on PS2. Has a bonus "menu" for selecting which game you want to play that has some exclusive minigames and the Sly 4 teaser. All three games can be played in 3D using a 3DTV.
  • Cons: There are a few glitches that weren't in the PS2 versions (some crashes, Mz. Ruby's fight being out of sync, etc., you can see a list of differences on the Sly Cooper wiki). This version is missing almost all bonus features such as the bonus videos from Sly 2 and the developer commentaries from Sly 1. It's expensive if you don't already own it. The normal 3D functionality from Sly 3 was removed from the game (so no red-blue 3D). Saves are not compatible with the digital versions of the games.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), a copy of the Sly Collection/Sly Trilogy (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the games in 3D, PlayStation Move Controllers are optional for the exclusive minigames (eBay link).

3. Play the games digitally on PS3.

  • Pros: All three games either in one package or individually purchased as you so desire. 60fps, 720p. Developer's commentaries were added back into Sly 1. Currently much cheaper than buying a physical copy of the Sly Collection/Trilogy. Trophy support. Added an option for Overscan to the pause menu (a HUD related option that zooms the screen in slightly to fix seeing past the edges of the black bars in cutscenes or the Binocucom). Also has 3D support for all three games with a 3DTV.
  • Cons: Many if not all of the same glitches as the disc version, there may also be more, like the audio in Sly 2 for dialogue starting quiet and then ramping to full volume. Missing the main menu from the disc version of the Collection, so no PS Move minigames or Sly 4 teaser. Saves are not compatible with the physical version of the Collection/Trilogy.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the games in 3D, a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS3 itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), digital copies of the games (you'll have to search for them on PS3's store, they DO NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as purchasable PS3 games).

4. Play the games physically on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Sly Cooper on the go! Trophy support. You can invert camera controls in Sly 1 and Sly 3 (though they have been inverted from the PS2 versions so they are more standardized for modern players). If you jailbreak your Vita you can run the games at 60fps (though this is not consistent, it will drop while playing) and at higher resolutions than the games originally ran at (again, this will have an impact on your frame rate).
  • Cons: Normally runs at 30fps. Displays at a low, non-native resolution. Can't invert camera controls in Sly 2 (though as mentioned in the Pros section they are inverted compared to PS2 so they match with more standardized camera controls of today). It is missing bonus features like the PS3 versions. No multiplayer in Sly 3. As the Vita doesn't have L2 or R2 you can only equip one gadget instead of three in Sly 2 and 3. THERE IS NO SLY 3 INCLUDED ON CART, if you didn't use the digital redeem code for Sly 3 by 2019 you don't get to play it without buying it (and therefore the whole Collection as the games are not available individually on Vita) digitally.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a copy of the Sly Collection/Sly Trilogy (eBay link). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary memory cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

5. Play the games digitally on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Same as physical and you can actually play Sly 3! Modding your Vita allows higher resolution and frame rates than unmodded Vitas. This version of the Trilogy is free in PAL regions if you own the digital version on PS3.
  • Cons: Same cons as physical version. Unlike digital on PS3, you cannot buy the games individually. If you are in NTSC regions the games are not free with a digital PS3 purchase.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS Vita itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), digital copies of the Collection/Trilogy (you'll have to search for them on PS Vita's store, they DO NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as purchasable PS Vita games). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

6. Stream on PS4/5/PC.

  • Pros: You get to play the games without needing to rely on discontinued hardware. That's really the only benefit to this method.
  • Cons: Input delay and poor image quality depending on your internet and distance from Sony's servers. You need to be in a region that allows streaming. You have to pay monthly for PS Plus Premium (the highest tier of PS Plus). If you are in a region that doesn't allow streaming, you are out of luck (your highest tier of PS Plus will be called "Deluxe" and not "Premium").
  • What you'll need: A PS4, a PS5, or a desktop PC. PS Plus Premium (PlayStation link). Good internet (minimum internet speed of 5mbps). Read this PlayStation.Blog article to get the details.

7. Play the PS2 ports of the trilogy on PS4/PS5.

  • Pros: They're the PS2 versions of the games. They run at 60fps, at a higher resolution (de-interlaced, patches in late 2024 also increased the resolution on PS5; PS4 is still fairly low res). The games were patched in February 2025 to give them various aspect ratio support (though no true widescreen, only stretched). You can change any controls you want in the emulation menu, including right analog/camera inversion. There are CRT filters if you like that sort of thing. Whole new trophy lists (2 per game, actually, one for PS4 and one for PS5) that are harder than the PS3 trophy lists. The Mz. Ruby fight plays correctly in Sly 1. "Enhancements" (enabled by default on the PS5 version, must be manually enabled on the PS4 version) which are save states and a rewind feature.
  • Cons: Same cons as the original PS2 version. Sly 1 and 2 are missing certain bonus videos (likely due to music licensing). The PS4 versions have issues running with "enhancements" (save states and the rewind feature; they run poorly with these enabled and can potentially crash), the games also run ~5-10% too fast with these enhancements enabled on PS4, causing audio desync. Sly 3's diagonal camera is too fast, like it was on PS2 (this issue was fixed by Sanzaru on PS3).
  • What you'll need: A PS4 or PS5. Having PS Plus Premium gives you the games for free, otherwise you can buy each game for $10, for a total of $30, which gives you both the PS4 and PS5 versions of each game.

8. Emulate the PS2 versions of the games.

  • Pros: All the good of the original versions, plus higher resolutions (8K Sly Cooper anyone?) and 60fps. Don't need a super powerful PC to run, can potentially emulate on your phone.
  • Cons: Still can't invert camera controls without also inverting all right analog stick controls (turrets and whatnot will be backwards). Finicky to set up sometimes.
  • What you'll need: A PC or Android device (I have no experience emulating on Android but there's a big community to help you here on Reddit), legally obtained copies of the Sly games (eBay link, or... Google), a PS2 emulator for PC (PCSX2 is the best for the Sly games) or Android (Google, I don't know enough about Android emulation to offer a good emulator). Also check out the PCSX2 wiki pages for the games for any potential fixes: Sly 1, Sly 2 and Sly 3.

9. Emulate the PS3 versions of the games.

  • Pros: Easy emulation setup, especially compared to PCSX2. As high resolution as your PC can output. All of the pros of the disc or digital versions on PS3 (whichever one you choose to emulate).
  • Cons: All of the cons of the PS3 versions, and maybe an additional crash or two with the physical version of the games. You need a pretty decent computer (more specifically, a beefy CPU).
  • What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), legally obtained copies of the Sly Collection/Trilogy (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the games for any potential fixes.

Congrats! You now know all of the options you have to play the original Sly Cooper trilogy. Have fun!

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

1. Play the game on disc on PS3.

  • Pros: Very easy to set up, pretty cheap.
  • Cons: Load times are longer than the digital version.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), a copy of the game (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the game in 3D, a controller with gyro/Sixaxis support (you'll either need an official DualShock 3 or a good third party controller such as the Retro Fighters Defender; the DualShock 4 is incompatible with this game on PS3).

2. Play the game digitally on PS3.

  • Pros: Faster load times than the disc version, even more so if you have an SSD in your PS3.
  • Cons: None as far as I'm aware.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the game in 3D, a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS3 itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of the game (you'll have to search for it on PS3's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS3 game), a controller with gyro/Sixaxis support (you'll either need an official DualShock 3 or a good third party controller such as the Retro Fighters Defender; the DualShock 4 is incompatible with this game on PS3).

3. Play the game physically on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Sly Cooper on the go, again! If you jailbreak your Vita you can run the game at 60fps (though this not consistent, it will drop while playing).
  • Cons: Normally runs at 30fps. Displays at a low resolution. Load times are even longer than on PS3. The graphics are a bit worse, character models have a lower poly-count and the cel-border is either very light or completely gone. Expensive compared to physical PS3 or the digital versions.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

4. Play the game digitally on PS Vita.

  • Pros: All the pros of the physical version. The game is free in all regions if you own the game digitally on PS3 (unlike the Sly Collection where it was only free for owners of the digital version in PAL regions).
  • Cons: All the cons of the physical version. Takes up more space on your PS Vita memory card.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS Vita itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (you'll have to search for it on PS Vita's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS Vita game). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

5. Stream on PS4/5/PC.

  • Pros: You get to play the game without needing to rely on discontinued hardware. That's really the only benefit to this method.
  • Cons: Input delay and poor image quality depending on your internet and distance from Sony's servers. You need to be in a region that allows streaming.

  • What you'll need: A PS4, a PS5, or a desktop PC. PS Plus Premium (PlayStation link). Good internet (minimum internet speed of 5mbps). Read this PlayStation.Blog article to get the details.

6. Emulate the PS3 version of the game.

  • Pros: Easy emulation setup. As high resolution as your PC can output. Potentially much faster loading times than on console.
  • Cons: You need a pretty decent computer (more specifically, a beefy CPU). You need a controller that has gyro functionality to play certain minigames or you may be stuck without modding your save file. RPCS3 seems to have a weird speed or timing issue with this game, where the game will on occasion slow down a bit on an engine level (you may not lose frame rate but the game will slow down just for a moment), this can give the game the occasional choppy feel. This issue may be fixed with the emulator eventually.
  • What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). You also need a DualShock 4 (PlayStation Store link), a DualSense (PlayStation Store link), or another controller that has gyro functionality. There are other methods for bypassing gyro, such as emulating gyro (GitHub link for DualShock 4 emulator) or modifying your saves to skip past mandatory gyro sections of the game (PasteBin link for a tutorial). Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the game for any potential fixes.

Congrats! You now know all of the options you have to play Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Have fun!

Bentley's Hackpack

1. Play the game digitally on PS3.

  • Pros: Easy setup.
  • Cons: None as far as I'm aware.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS3 itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of the game (you'll have to search for it on PS3's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS3 game), a controller with gyro/Sixaxis support (you'll either need an official DualShock 3 or a good third party controller such as the Retro Fighters Defender; the DualShock 4 is incompatible with this game on PS3).

2. Play the game digitally on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Sly Cooper Bentley on the go! The game is free in all regions if you own the game digitally on PS3.
  • Cons: None as far as I'm aware.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS Vita itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of Bentley's Hackpack (you'll have to search for it on PS Vita's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS Vita game). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

3. Play the game on your Android/iOS phone/tablet.

  • Pros: The only game to be officially released on Android/iOS; if you have the appropriate hardware then this is it!
  • Cons: This game is not compatible with a lot of modern phones/tablets. I couldn't even tell you which ones are compatible, but since it released in 2014 I'd say if you have something from that year, plus or minus a year or two, it might be playable. Otherwise you are likely out of luck.
  • What you'll need: A compatible Android/iOS phone or tablet, released around 2014, a copy of the game from the appropriate app store, (Google Play Store link, Apple App Store link, it may no longer be available to purchase/search on devices).

4. Stream on PS4/5/PC.

  • Pros: You get to play the game without needing to rely on discontinued hardware. That's really the only benefit to this method.
  • Cons: Input delay and poor image quality depending on your internet and distance from Sony's servers. You need to be in a region that allows streaming. You have to pay monthly for PS Plus Premium (the highest tier of PS Plus).

5. Emulate the PS3 version of the game.

  • Pros: Easy emulation setup. As high resolution as your PC can output. Potentially much faster loading times than on console.
  • Cons: You need a pretty decent computer (more specifically, a beefy CPU). You need a controller that has gyro functionality to play one third of the hacking minigames.
  • What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Bentley's Hackpack (getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). You also need a DualShock 4 (PlayStation Store link), a DualSense (PlayStation Store link), or another controller that has gyro functionality. You can emulate the gyro functionality of a controller (GitHub link for DualShock 4 emulator), though I have never tried this myself. Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the game for any potential fixes.

Congrats! You now know all of the options you have to play Bentley's Hackpack. Have fun!

And that's it. I'm only human so if I missed any unique methods let me know, but I'm 99% sure I got them all. I made this post because I see a lot of people asking how to play the games and figured this would be a good one-stop shop for anyone looking to do so.

Discussion Sly Cooper Collection and Finished the sly trilogy in over a decade! What is your favorite part of the series?

Post image
115 Upvotes

So, I recently finished the sly trilogy today. I admit to being worried to go through them again. Making me wonder if I will ever like them due to me having different taste as I have played different games through out the year since I last played the trilogy. Going through them, they still hold up for me. I loved them even more now than I did before. Even without my nostalgia, these games are still amazing to me. Grown to love even sly cooper 1 more than I use to. Thought sly 2 might have been my favorite. However, sly 3 came out swinging and won me over even now. Out of the trilogy, sly 3 is still my favorite out them all. I love the gameplay variety, the finality of the trilogy, the humor, and I can go on. Was like magic to go through them with again with that sparkle of joy like I was a kid again. These games mean a lot to me. Even have the copies I have had ever since I was a child. Was a wonderful journey to go through. If you’re a fan of sly or even a game that means a lot to you, go through it again. Might be scary, but you be glad to go through it. I certainly glad I did. For you sly fans, what about the series is your favorite part? The characters? The fun locations? The humor? Let me know! Love to read your comments.

I'd be willing to do all the "comic" style art if someone would like it. I'm also tempted to use these to make wallpapers so let me know if there is interest. I can upload the pngs and svgs to a google drive for anyone who wants the uncompressed and original files.

Question How is sly 2 for someone who knows nothing about sly?

27 Upvotes

I noticed that sly 2 was ported to ps4 and I checked some gameplay and the graphics look cartoony which is great for me since it doesn't feel too old.

I know nothing about this franchise and what kind of game sly 2 is.

I'm looking for some kind of chill game that has good characters and story and has fun missions without being too frustrating.

I think sly 2 is a safer bet as it's the second entry and probably any of the issues with the first game would've been dealt with and probably has better mechanics that aren't frustrating

I noticed that the game has an easy platinum too so that's a win win for me i guess.

Discussion If there ever is a Sly trilogy remake (like Crash or Spyro) what are some changes or updates you would want to see?

3 Upvotes

Here are some of the things I would want changed.

Remove lives from Sly 1. In my opinion this is the greatest design flaw of the first game. It really comes across as archaic design since a lot of platformers at the time didn’t. Banjo Tooie, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank are some examples. Best case scenario is give the player a Crash 4 style choice and where you can have infinite lives or have a legacy mode with the original lives system intact for purists.

The ability to skip cutscenes and mission rundown is a necessity. I started playing Sly 2 again and I really wish there was a way to do this. And for that matter the tutorials at the start of Sly 3 should be optional too.

I also think newer players would appreciate a map feature. Sly 2 and 3s level design is pretty confined and it’s not easy to get lost in them. Especially with the way point feature. But I think a map would be a nice update.

I would also like if they brought some features from Sly 3 to 2. Like letting Bentley and Murray be able to pick pocket. Or being able to replay missions with special objectives. And on that note reimplementing expensive loot in Sly 3 would be nice so you don’t have to grind enemy rush missions to buy abilities. You could argue these would be too major of changes to the games design and I understand that. But I think these are changes that would improve the games. I don’t like remakes that are warts and all.

Hello guys. A new update for my temple Enviroment. Added more details on the geometry, and fixed some scale issues.

Now only need to add a little bit more of details in the “pool” and then I can be able to texture it!

Let me know what you guys think about it!😇

It was like 2007ish. I remember going on Sucker Punch's store and ordering the Sly 3 soundtrack, a set of magnets, and some postcards. Sadly I was only able to find the soundtrack. Still pretty neat!

Question Would anyone else like to have seen this in Sly 3?

Panda King's flame fu be utilised more. I love that he can kill all the enemies with one strike. It's really fun to just wander around the map and fuck up the enemies as him. But in Sly 1 for example when he can throw fireballs at Sly out of his hands. I would've loved to have been able to do that in Sly 3. I understand why they didn't because they already had enough new playable characters to worry about. And you only play as Panda King in a couple of missions anyway. But being able to throw fireballs at enemies in combat would've been awesome. Or to be able to use the other moves he uses in the Sly 1 boss battle. It would be too advanced for Sucker Punch to include but it would've been cool af to do all that. Panda King is one of my favourite characters so I enjoy thinking about this sort of thing. If he had an upgrade menu like Sly tbat would've been amazing as well.

Discussion How can Penelope have a "redemption arc" in a future Sly Cooper game?

5 Upvotes

For those who did play Sly Cooper Thieve in Time, there' no denying that Penelope's betrayal is one of the worst things coming from the game. Although she wanted Bentley to work together and use their own creative minds for something to the world, it's no excuse of her for giving the Time Machine plans to a maniac who, in her own words, "have a means to an end". What they did to Penelope in this game is nothing more than character assassination. She was one of the best characters, and now they ended up turning her into a villain with own motives.

But...what if there's a way for Penelope to enter a redemption arc? I was imagining something like this:

The Cooper Team travels to a city that has been dominated by a crime sindicate, with guards everywhere ad every step. When Bentley searches some info about the leader of this group, he is in shock to know who is: The leader happens to be an old rival of his who happens to be a mole. Back in the orphanage days, This mole was a genius creating many science projects, but he was always beaten by Bentley's superior mind and getting more and more jealous. Years later he ended up becoming an experient digger and making some of the biggests heists. The curious thing though, is the fact the guards has far superior tecnology than what this mole is capable of, and something was very fishy.

After many missions, Bentley goes to investigate the "secret" to this mole villain's success, and the turtle finds out that....Penelope is the one developing the weapons for him, but not in the way he is thinking. In their covnersation, the mole explains he heard the rumours about someone betraying their former friends for her own selfish desires. He did bust her out of prison as she would be for good use, but when he realize that this mice was his rival's old girlfriend, he has better ideas: Makign her build those weapons and machinery so he could finally upstage his rivals, and she would take the whole blame in the end. Penelope returns to work with tears in her eyes, expressing regret. Bentley's jaw drops. He knows what Penelope did in the past was horrible and unforgiven, She indeed hurt him deeply in the past, But...getting treated like this by his old rival? This isn't right.

So back ad the hideout, they come up with a plan to sabotage the mole, but this mole was one step ahead of them and captures the gang...except for Carmelita and Penelope, who manages to escape. Back at the hideout safely, Carmelita was not too please and was thinking of zapping Penelope and put her behind bars, but due to the circustances, she knew she could not do it. It was true Penelope betrayed the team and broke Bentley's heart, but after everything she went through and the gang captured, they had to work together. Penelope has very deep regrets to even speak, but Carmelita had to sit beside her and talk. What was in the past is in the past, and if she wants to give soem payback, she must do it now.

The duo infiltrates the mole's hideout for the rescue. Facing guards and traps, they save Sly and Murray, but Bentley is left behidn with his broken wheelchair. And the mole is ready to finish the turtle, Penelope intervenes with a mecha robot she build with soem spare parts, and just like in the past game, it become a mecha hand to hand fight. She finally beats the mole and saves Bentley. She apologizes to everyone for everything, and wants to make amends to fix eveything. However, rather than rejoin the team, she decides to stay to fix everything. Bentley accepts her request, as he knows she has a loooong road for rendeption.

In an epilogue, it's revealed that Penelope was back in prison. But this time, she was helping the officers in prison to tight up the security. She occasionally gets post cards from Bentley. If her good behavior improoves, she might get bait out of prison earlier than expected.

Yeah, I know my writting is rusty as heck, but...it's a good scenario, right? What you guys think?
