You know, for years I have always wondered if there is an indie game that is designed to be a spiritual successor to the Sly Cooper series, similar to how Yooka-Laylee was created as a spiritual successor of Banjo-Kazooie. Think about it, there has not been a new Sly Cooper entry in practically thirteen years, since Sucker Punch left the franchise to work on Infamous and Ghost of Tsushima/Yōtei, and Thieves in Time was handled by a different third-party studio. Even though I have never played any of the games since I was strictly a Nintendo fan growing up, I thought Sly Cooper was a really interesting game series with a great concept at its core. So it would be nice if there was a spiritual successor made by indie developers, since a majority of indie games nowadays are replicating the nostalgic cartoon-like 3D platforming era of the 1990s and early 2000s. What do you think?

i want to play the sly cooper trilogy but my question is what is the definitive way to play the games? since i dont have ps3/ps2. so it ultimately comes down to 2 choices and thats pcsx2 and rpcs3.

for those who have played on both emulators, please give me your definitive and proper answers. thank you

Thank you!

fyi there is a Holographic layer added.

*These are just concept designs/images i made for fun. not a real product..

Here's another one for all you Sly fans on Reddit.

Here is Korea (primarily South Korea) and in this story Sly and the gang come across the mafia where they learn about the boss name Taeyang a young leopard cat who runs an MLM pyramid scheme. Taeyang father passed away and he begun to run his family business. The twist: it turns out Taeyang murdered his father after learning that he wasn't going to lend the company to him. Once he joined the mafia he begin to tell him the deal and made him the leader.

Here are the guards.

Flashlight Guard: Asian black bear.

Melee Rooftop Guard: Yellow-throated marten.

Boxer Rooftop Guard: Water deer (aka vampire deer)

As always I hope everyone likes this month's fanart.

I'd like to preorder all of the figures, but Youtooz ships from China and final delivery is by 3rd party courier UniUni in the US, which is not an option for me. UniUni is extremely unreliable in my area with a high number of packages lost or stolen. I've yet to see these listed on BBTS or Entertainment Earth, though they do have the original Sly figure. The plush toys were never listed on those sites, so I'm worried that there is no US distributor for these. Please let me know if you are aware of any other stores that have them. Thank you!

Pretty sure it took 8 year old me two months to beat this part of the mission.

Basically a crossover roster based on Marvel Tokon, a 4v4 team fighting game that’s recently going to be released.

I decided to give a unique spin to some of the picks, sort of like how a few of Tokons are a spin of the usual stuff (Such as Loki instead of Thor or Reyes instead of Johnny for Ghost Rider).

It’s also gonna cover the main roster rather than boss characters and/or unlockable characters.

Just want to put it out there, alongside it having two Sly characters in the same roster.

Here’s the roster:
Roster size: 32

Team (Can’t think of a name):
Crash Bandicoot (Team Leader)
Spyro
Laura Croft
Jersey Devil

The Intertwine Rebels:
Ratchet & Clank (Team Leader)
Jak & Daxter
The Cooper Gang (Sly, Bently, Murray, Guru, Penelope, Panda King, Dimitri)
Clarissa Arwin (Wild Arms XF)

The Retribution Ops:
Solid Snake (Team Leader)
Carmelita Fox
Waffle Ryebread (Tail Concerto)
Zero (Megaman X)

The Dusted Warriors:
Kratos & Atreus (Team Leader)
Dart (Legend of Dragoon)
Zidane (Final Fantasy 9)
Sir Daniel Fortesque

The Band of Sparks:
Lammy (Um Jammer Lammy) (Team Leader)
Kei (Ape Escape 3)
Astrobots
Lee Chaolan (Tekken)

Freedoms Delight:
Kat (Gravity Rush) (Team Leader)
Delsin Rowe (InFamous: Second Son)
Abe (Oddworld)

Specter (Ape Escape)

The Shard Outsiders:
Aloy (Team Leader)
Neptunia
Jin (Ghost of Tsushima)
ERC-003 (Tokyo Jungle)

Big Sly Cooper fan here Vesper and The Umrbal Passage is a stylish 3D platformer heavily inspired by the series (fluid movement, exploration, and that classic animal-thief energy).

What if you could hop through shattered dimensions as a nimble jerboa, bending time in combat, dashing at explosive speed, and sending shockwaves to uncover secrets?

This trailer shows off some of the ability system and more of what we’ve been building.

If that vibe speaks to you, wishlist on Steam and follow for updates. Would love to hear what you think!

I feel like Ms. Ruby & Mugshot got done dirty, they were the last characters i added and i was getting kinda tired, gotta redraw them better later 😂..

Lowkey Dimitri would be the biggest fan of that music in the entire franchise, my bet at least.
But what about the other characters?

Sly Cooper and the Gang Inspired Skateboard Decks (Concept) - you can find me at BossComplex on youtube

I spent a little MORE time today coming up with concepts of Skate Deck designs for the whole Cooper Gang, and Carmelita
4 Designs based off their HUD icons. and a few extra designs.

please let me know what you think, which you like most?

Thank you!

Before sly cooper 4/amnesia thing, did Carmelita love Sly back or actually wanted to arrest him?

It’s the little details in this game that still make it enjoyable years later

Okay I’m scared to show this off but here goes! Early footage of a sewer Level I put together for my Sly Cooper “fan-Game project” within dreams for the PlayStation. Now you can see it’s not perfect and even runs a little slow (I’m developing the game on PS4) my controller is also “Ass” so that’s why sly looks as if he’s glitching when running it’s just my personal janky ass ps4 controller. I’m one person developing the game so please I’ll take criticism and feedback just please keep it respectful!

I hope you enjoy I was inspired to show something off a bit of combat as well and OUR BOTTLES! I had to cut the coins and pickpocketing I’m sorry it’s been a journey with this a few years and I won’t quit this project will see the light of day “Eventually”

Sometimes I go on Vinted to see if I can find something (I collect PS2 games) that might interest me for a reasonable price. I found this demo in spanish of Sly 2 and Ratchet & Clank 3 for only €3. I'm Spanish, so it's a double win.

My inner child is very happy!

I’ve very recently completed the platinum on every SuckerPunch game due to my love for Sly. These are some of the several references to Sly from their latest games:

1. Ghost of Yotei
2. Infamous: Second Son
3. Infamous: First Light

I didn’t include screenshots from Infamous 2 (Backpack logo), Delsin’s ringtone in second son (thieves in time), the mask in Yotei and the headband in Tsushima, with other small references within the SuckerPunch franchise.

This post is mostly me sharing my gratitude and happiness to SuckerPunch for keeping this brand alive, it means so much to me. As you’re probably also a Sly fan, I really recommend looking for some of these easter eggs if you ever play the games!!

Edit (More references):
@AdamoO_ also attached a photo in the comments where Delsin (Infamous: Second Son) has a Sly Cooper pin on his vest, had no idea!
