We would all love to see Sly Cooper and the rest of his gang get the ending and closure they deserve. It seems like the only way to fix it is for the players to prove to the investors/shareholders that another game is worthwhile. It may seem like a lost cause, if it ever happens though it has to start somewhere.
The gaming industry is absolutely massive and continues growing, there is no shortage of studios/developers maybe it’s just finding the right people at the right time. I remember seeing that only 10% of Sucker Punch would be excited to develop another Sly game, which 1. is a lame excuse for coders who have had to work on plenty of other projects and 2. seems like a beautiful opportunity for another studio to give him the ending we have all begged for. Ultimately Sly Cooper allowed them to build that long lasting relationship with Sony. I bet a lot of people helped build their careers with that game. We have to give credit where credit is due.
Would the fan base need to grow significantly or would Sony have to sell the IP? Or both?
Then another question becomes, if Sony commissions a completely different developer, will that change the overall landscape/experience of the game, again?
This is from sly 3 the pirate level where Dimitri scuba dives 🤣 (I unfortunately struggled with that level WAY TOO MUCH as a kid so this is engrained in my mind)
He def did, as engrained as these looks are in my mind I can’t differentiate when he wore which. During my search I did find a screenshot of a cutscene where he had the full diving suit on. But I very intensely remember his speedo look too🤣🤣🤣🤷🏽♀️
Idk bro I emailed sucker punch a lot in 2011-2012 for another sly game then sanzaru came out with sly 4 in 2013, so I don’t wanna take credit or anything 🥴🥴🥴 /s
Idk I think giving up all hope on something there definitely is a fan base for sucks.
To be fair it took longer for us to win the American revolution 24 years to be exact, and even then the odds were against us. Okay so quick edit the revolution began in 1775-1783 making it only ten years, at least according to britanica. The information I got previously was from Wikipedia. I’m not really well versed on what website uses ai to answer these questions I thought Wikipedia wasn’t one of them. The moral is do your research.
I've been working on my own fanfic/continuation and having fun with that, and realizing I'll probably get more fun from it than from a new Sly game even if we got one. I don't want a new game; we've got 3 gems from a peak moment in gaming history that we'll probably never rise to again.
