It’s great that Sly Cooper is getting recognition throughout this year, with the original games on the PS5, his appearance in Astro Bot, and the release of that YouTooz Figure. As I’ve said many times, I don’t know what to expect for next year aside from Sucker Punch releasing Ghost of Yotei, but I still hope Sly Cooper returns. If Sony releases a PS5 Port or Remaster of Thieves in Time, we’ll see what happens next. Idea-wise for Sly Cooper 5, while it’s following the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart “Treatment”, it should take inspiration from Sonic Frontiers for Open-World Environments and Combat Formula.
Sly had well designed tight levels going open world would ruin it as it creates empty space that is just pure filler nothing more losing the overall linear aspect that made it standout in the first place You are going from Mirror's Edge to Mirror's Edge Catalyst
@@ganumon1984 Going "open world" means empty space that needs to be filled with pointless generic content, hence my dislike of it as it would ruin the tight level design the series is known for
I think Sly Cooper should have a trilogy reboot with a whole new set of stories for the new fans to be welcomed into the franchise while leaning more into the stealth and heist element of the series.
Thanks for covering this. Here's some stuff I'm hearing at present that are related to this video: Thieves in Time native PS5 port is in the works, if it continues going smoothly it'll come out around March at the earliest. The reboot I talked about earlier in the year has had more resources thrown at it because of Astro Bot's success. Multiple Astro Bot projects have also been green lit. The Astro stuff is in VERY early stages of development at present. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the dev time on one of those games is relatively short. Since work on Astro started in 2021 and it released this year, so probably a 2 year turn around time given we now have the resources there.
With the exception of the youtooz and funko and that anniversary poster a few years ago the only sly merch I remember getting was a book teaching you how to draw various characters from the games. We definitely need more merch
You forgot one thing that thieves in time was released on the ps vita , and we already have games emulated from the psp, so possibly they could use the ps vita version of the thieves in time
I think with these re-releases of the classic games, we'll have a stronger likelihood of a potential 5th game! Let's just hope they bring back the cast we all know and love!
I’ll take a Sly Cooper remake. Use the same or similar bad guys and just deepen the lore and make it a heist game similar to Sly 2/3. And don’t make it look like a cartoon like Sly 4, go the Cellshade look with the comicy cutscenes (like 2,3).
I do not lose hope to see a fifth installment of Sly Cooper, it is no coincidence that his trilogy is available on PS PLUS, they release new merchandise, it has a space in Astro Bot and that rumors circulate about its return on PS5. Ratchet & Clank had a new game on PS5 that took advantage of the console's capabilities to improve the gameplay experience, imagine what things would be like if they did the same with Sly Cooper. Perhaps they would improve the mechanics seen in Thieves in Time (They will say what they want about the game, but I enjoyed it like no other because of things like the gameplay, the HD animated cinematics and the characters that we could use per level) as it could be a semi-open map that presents the collection of certain elements essential for the advancement of the levels, perhaps they could include some additional tasks that change some things about the final blow of the level and could also increase the number of characters that can be used. Now is the opportunity to show that the community is interested in a fifth installment of the franchise (I can't stop thinking about what happened to Sly being in Ancient Egypt) by supporting these re-releases (The first game was the most downloaded of the month on PS PLUS) that would serve to test if people are still interested in the franchise.
I honestly would not mind a from the ground up remake of the whole quadrilogy even though we got the original games now on the store. Sly 5 would be great but feels far fetched, it shouldn’t feel far fetched. I can play these games forever over and over again.
If Insomniac can build a small team dedicated for Ratchet & Clank and Team Asobi had 65 devs on Astro Bot, there is no excuse for Sucker Punch to not build a small team to make Sly Cooper. I only think Sucker Punch can make justice of Sly.
Mate Sucker Punch are a small 70 or so people studio, taking away a small portion will negatively impact their output not to mention they are an all hands on deck studio on every single project as such cannot divide itself
No one wants a new sly game more then me. The franchise and games mean a lot to me and my childhood I’m just afraid that to get my hopes up again. The last game, I don’t think it’s bad but it wasn’t sold well. The movie got nowhere and the show went nowhere. I want to have this hope that maybe just maybe something will come from this but I’m not gonna get my hopes up that easily And see if we do get a new game. Say next year i’ll be over the moon excited and hopefully give him a proper ending and other fans like me can rejoice but I’m just gonna keep my thoughts and excitement to a minimum, just in case nothing happens.
The YouTooz figure is interesting since you’d think they’d pick Aloy instead since Horizon is one of the bigger ongoing IPs that Sony pushes hard, having Sly take up the slot seems like they might be planning more for Sly after the rereleases
When the figures were first teased on ‘X’ the head of the company tweeted how Sly 2 was his favourite video game, so it might just be as simple as he requested Sly be apart of the bundle when approaching Sony
I want a new Sly! Who would develop it and make it great. Sucker Punch is too busy, and thieves in time is the weakest, so I don't want whoever made that.
I would love Insomniac, but I think they're a bit busy, but considering the open world and gameplay of both Spider-Man and Ratchet, they have the potential of doing Sly Cooper justice
Not the biggest fan of Thieves In Time at all, but if they do re-release it for preservation sake and the next Sly game doesn’t continue the Thieves In Time storyline then I will be ok with that. I think the best option for a new Sly game, at least IMO, is a soft reboot that directly continues from Sly 3. Again, that’s coming from a guy who doesn’t like Thieves In Time’s story 😅
I’m the same way. Thieves in Time just seems like Sly 1-3 but a soft reboot would be nice kinda making it look like 4 never happened. I was very excited to play it when it came out but it didn’t live up to its expectations. Could have been so much better, especially from a lifelong fan of Sly. I grew up playing 1-2 all the time until I could finally play 3 on The PS3 Collection. I just hope if/ maybe when that they can do 5 so much better. “And I’m out”-Sly/Sitting Duck✌️
@ Oh, I definitely agree. I just don’t like most of the stuff that they did with Thieves In Time, especially ep 4. That episode made me sooo mad, cause of what they did to the characters 🫠. I would classify TIT as a non-canon fanfiction and Sly 3 is the definitive ending of the series ( I love that game sm, it’s definitely my favourite in the series ). But if they do continue the series, I do hope that the next game is a soft reboot that ignores Thieves In Time’s story, cause again - I’m not a fan of most of the stuff that they did with that game lmao.
I would much rather they finish the Thieves in Time story, I’m not a fan of companies rebooting a story mid-way through just cause fans are unhappy. That sets an awful precedent for storytelling integrity. I would not be able to enjoy future Sly Cooper stories knowing that they could be rendered invalidated by other people’s opinions
I really appreciate you helping keep the Sly community updated with any news/rumors. I look forward to these video’s specifically as many others do im sure. Sly 2 and 3 are quite actually two of my top favorite games i have ever played and i am manifesting so hard that we get a new entry or at least a remaster/remake of the trilogy. 2024 has been the best year for sly in a long time so hopefully sony recognizes the fandom is still here and we are itching for something more. Heres to more sly in 2025 🎉
Hope we get a Sly Cooper comeback announcement in 2025
Also twisted metal
I hope the same
Let's hope SO

You are going from Mirror's Edge to Mirror's Edge Catalyst
@ What do you mean? I’m discussing an idea for how a Sly Cooper PS5 game would look in comparison to the recent entries.
@@ganumon1984 Going "open world" means empty space that needs to be filled with pointless generic content, hence my dislike of it as it would ruin the tight level design the series is known for
I hope Thieves in Time gets put in the store, but ps3 is trickier to emulate

love that sly got so much love in 2024 - hopefully more to come

I hope for the day I see your reaction over a new Sly Cooper game…
SONYYYYYYY DROP ANOTHER SLY COOPER GAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
Kratos head ass 😂
@@PrinceAliVIIwhat’s wrong with either

If Sly gets a new trilogy on disc I will buy it day one
As in a Remake or Reboot trilogy?
I’ll take a Sly Cooper remake. Use the same or similar bad guys and just deepen the lore and make it a heist game similar to Sly 2/3. And don’t make it look like a cartoon like Sly 4, go the Cellshade look with the comicy cutscenes (like 2,3).
How about a reboot trilogy? One where we get more with the lore and focus on who Sly's dad was and how Sly continues his legacy
I do not lose hope to see a fifth installment of Sly Cooper, it is no coincidence that his trilogy is available on PS PLUS, they release new merchandise, it has a space in Astro Bot and that rumors circulate about its return on PS5.

While a remake is not a bad idea, I personally think a reboot would be a better approach for new fans of the series
@ @ reboot ain’t a bad idea either. Hope they keep the same essence and formula of the Sly Cooper games just like these old ones we have today.
If Insomniac can build a small team dedicated for Ratchet & Clank and Team Asobi had 65 devs on Astro Bot, there is no excuse for Sucker Punch to not build a small team to make Sly Cooper.
I only think Sucker Punch can make justice of Sly.
Mate Sucker Punch are a small 70 or so people studio, taking away a small portion will negatively impact their output not to mention they are an all hands on deck studio on every single project as such cannot divide itself
Why are you assuming that people at Sucker Punch would rather go back to Sly Cooper instead of what they’re currently making?
Sucker punch is all hands on their next game why would anyone want a half assed sly cooper or ghost
Unfortunately, they can't at the moment. The only way Sucker Punch can make a new Sly Cooper is if they start working on it after the release of Ghost
They brought back the soundtrack for streaming 😂❤
No one wants a new sly game more then me. The franchise and games mean a lot to me and my childhood I’m just afraid that to get my hopes up again.
The last game, I don’t think it’s bad but it wasn’t sold well. The movie got nowhere and the show went nowhere. I want to have this hope that maybe just maybe something will come from this but I’m not gonna get my hopes up that easily

Love sly but also wish jak and Daxter would get some love too.
Nice of you to slip Astrobot in for 10 minutes. Never heard of that game. Now I know!
hi Podcast Now
I hope we get a remaster of the original Sly trilogy. I feel like a new game won't happen anytime soon.

Pre-ordered the Sly & Ratchet figures
You should see the Joel funko pop price😬
I want a new Sly! Who would develop it and make it great. Sucker Punch is too busy, and thieves in time is the weakest, so I don't want whoever made that.
Toys For Bob would be the best choice as they know platformers and remakes plus are independent now
I would love Insomniac, but I think they're a bit busy, but considering the open world and gameplay of both Spider-Man and Ratchet, they have the potential of doing Sly Cooper justice
I'm hoping for Sly Cooper TO come back IN 2025
I hope there will be the fifth franchise for it.
I dont want Sly 5, I want a Sly "4" reboot. I trust Sucker Punch to do something extraordinary that Sanzaru didn't!
We hope they remake the sly cooper games just loke other games got remake and get new graphics
I won all ps4 and ps5 versions of the franchise platinium trophies. Did Sony see this and make the 5th part and let Sly free from egypt?
Need that Comeback
having to no stream is good but they are black bars which is disgusting, streaming version dont so why couldnt they do it with the others
Unpopular opinion but I like Thieves in Time.
I’m with you

Sly Cooper thieves in Time for PS5???; we are missing one 🦝🦝🦝😊😊 let's make it happen
Yes in my opinion it needed to come to PS5 in last year when it turned into 10 years old game.
They could fix the load times and frame rate too 👌
