Sly 1 is a classic. Wish we could get better stories in 3D platformers like Sly had

[@liverpoolfc1023]

Psychonauts has a pretty cool story!

[@KingKarrot]

@@liverpoolfc1023 definitely!

[@kristopherwillis8075]

One of my all time favorite games 😁

[@JDM_BUSTER]

Ratchet and clank and Jak and daxter did too

[@HofslundCooper]

Sly 1 is the worst one mate

[@devinstrain1290]

I remember as a child my babysitter took me to Gamestop and she offered to buy me a game. I wanted a much more violent video game and my babysitter wasn't comfortable about it. She recommended (the unknown game at the time) Slycooper, and I was not disappointed.

[@HARBRINGERZERO]

That was a damn good babysitter.

Sly Cooper brings back so many amazing memories! One of my favorite PS2 platformers together with Jak! ❤️

[@KUPSMusic]

Didn't watch yet, but to me the Sly trilogy is one of the greatest series of games on the PS2 Love seeing more content on these games, hope you try out 2 and 3 next! Edit: Cant wait to see the episodes for the 2nd and 3rd game in the series

[@Bongaholic27]

The Sly cooper games definitely have my favorite manuals of any games series, I love how each of them look like the Thievius Raccoonus and each game it looks more beat up and torn.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

oh really

[@terminator4995]

I remember being amazed with Sly 3 having the 3D glasses!

[@docicusalignjon]

We NEED a Sly 1 remake man

[@logiclunacy606]

I don't know I feel how it's stylised makes the game hold up nicely. I think all a remake will do is not so much improve its look but change it.

[@kamishiroyuu7375]

The game is fine like that

[@articusramos808]

A remake? Gonna be a tall order. We probably need a proper remastered port first. A proof of sucker punch's testaments. We first need to make a good remastered for it. Make a teaser for a remake. But that...well, why not a prequel to Sly 1? Make a story for conner and his cooper gang? Better then any remake is a sequel.

[@neo_b]

@@logiclunacy606maybe a Sly 1 re-imagining, i’ve always fantasized about Sly 1 but with Sly 2 maps and gameplay

[@logiclunacy606]

@neo_b You see I'm on the camp that preferred sly 1. Sure it was formulaic for a platformer but it was very fun and creative. Sly 2 is a good game but collecting all those bottles was kind of a pain that I ended up knowing each map a little all too well. For some reason I dropped sly 3, I honestly couldn't say why, it seemed similar to the 2nd game.

[@VXMasterson]

One of my friends really wanted me to try the series. I took breaks in between each game but overall I loved the experience. Normally I avoid platformers because they tend to lack story but I loved they Sly Cooper had both an engaging narrative and a ton of lore. Plus, the ending of 2 and beginning of 3 caught me so off guard, I didn’t think they would do what they did. It makes me sad that the series is niche or that they scrapped the movie, but I home someday the series can be more recognized

[@williambravo1084]

If Spyro and Crash can get a new game in this day and age then Sly should too. C'mon SuckerPunch give the people what they want.

[@estevaofreitas9071]

Unfortunately people don't want more sly cooper, the last game sales shows that. If it's not a shooter chances are it'll flop, that explains why ratchet & clank is way more succsessful than sly cooper and it pains me cause sly is better than both ratchet and jak series.

[@litt420]

​@@estevaofreitas9071stop it clown Sly 4 made more money thn you will ever know Stop spreading nonsense Sony is just lazy thats all it is

[@NotSoCheezyYT]

@@estevaofreitas9071 That game came out ten years ago. Sales data on it is meaningless. On the other hand, recent merchandise is in high demand and completely sold out.

[@maineman5757]

​@estevaofreitas9071 Yeah, it's a shame. Sony gave us a chance already with Sly 4 but gamers didn't show up.

[@estevaofreitas9071]

@@maineman5757 I read an article that explained why Sly thieves in time was a flop. It was released close to the gold age of COD, TLOU had just dropped, GTA V was hype (some might argue it still is), etc. Sony even tried to save the game releasing a bit latter, but the competition was too tough for a "kids" platformer to sustain.

[@smolderingequilibrium2812]

Sly and Jak are PS2 go to's for me!

[@maineman5757]

I am a Sly Cooper mega fan. I had EVERYTHING Sly Cooper back in the day.

Still breaks my heart that this series seems dead in the water at the moment 😔 10 years without a Sly game is devastating

[@johnmichael2692]

Why it deserves to make a return with 2 more new games

[@damascus6480]

One of my favorite games on my favorite game console. I just bought a pretty clean black label CIB copy of this to replace my greatest hits copy for my PS2 collection. I played the hell out of this growing up over the years and beat it again last year. Love watching your videos, Matty.

[@venomsnigle44]

Found this channel a couple of weeks ago and I really love all the content. I didn't think I would love this type of nostalgia content but I do

[@MyStellarSpace]

I was lucky enough to go to a swap meet, bought a game though it didn't work, came back and the owner let me change it to anything else as long as it was in the same price range, and there it was, the whole Sly Cooper trilogy for the PS2, everything was complete and nice including the 3D glasses, best game exchange ever

[@gracekim1998]

I’m going play this on my birthday next week. So I’m glad you tried the first game. I’ve been obsessed with him this year 😂 played 2 and 3, in the process of trying to beat 4 and excited to own 1. Soon my collection will be complete!

[@brennskiboi]

I’ve played through the first 3 games at least 6 times through the years! I’ve never even touched 4! I’m excited to give it a try!

[@t.v.rockwell4504]

Sly Cooper is also one my favorite series too. I even got a soft spot for Theives in Time, even though its got that cliffhanger.

[@watchmojoe]

the Sly Cooper TRILOGY (we don't talk about TiT) are my favorite games in the ps2 catalog and have very vivid memories of using the janky ass 3D cardboard glasses for sly 3 to get through Venice or dog fighting in the skies of holland. Sly 1 was such a unique game for its time but sly 2 tho?? sly 1 laid the foundation for what sly 2 could be and it's easily the best game in the series if not one of the best games for the whole console generation. I replayed that opening heist on a Jam Pack demo disc for MONTHS until I got the game and man the story did not disappoint at all. for a "kids" platformer the story got really dark, creepy, and hopeless at times like the contessa prison section being stuck as Bentley after getting your shit kicked in by Rajan prior, even the fact that it ended on a sad cliffhanger really fucked me up as a 6 year old. I know some people think sucker punch had their shining moment with infamous 1 but they really showed what the were capable of in all aspects by the 3rd sly game. man time flies.

[@neo_b]

there’s really anything like the Sly Series, the unique combination and of stealth-platforming gameplay, Sneaky Heist-Based story, and visuals and map layouts, everything is masterfully crafted… there’s literally no similar series to it

[@SlyCrunchy]

One of the games that defined my childhood, cant tell you how many times I've played through the series. I gotta get my hands on some original copys at some point. The sly collection is fine but they borked the music in some places, which is only really an issue in the Mz. Ruby fight but it still bugs me.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

also cutscenes are different

[@sy7h]

6:00 totally agree with you. First sly game is king at atmosphere, especially the swamp level.

[@IndigoProphecy]

idk how most people feel but I played 1 and stopped mid way through 2. Just did not enjoy as much as the first.

[@_G3M5_]

@@IndigoProphecy yea the big hubworld destroyed the jump n run flow of the game (it feels so low effort too)... not many people share this opinion and i never understood why ... sly1 is so much better, i wish 2 and 3 would be more like 1 in terms of levels

Had a tough time with the last boss on this one last year for some reason

[@frankjrmarks9352]

Sly Cooper is my all time favorite game series from the ps2 era I played the first and third game so much when I was a little kid I never played part 2 until I was older like 10 or 12 then for my 15th birthday I got a PlayStation 3 bundled with Lego Batman 3 and The Sly Cooper collection then I got my hands on Sly Cooper 4 I cannot wait to see where they take the series next hopefully they will

[@numb1gxfan]

Still remember going to my friends house after school and the PS2 game he picked up was Sly 1. We had pizza and played the game, it was awesome. I was a hooked fan ever since, now I couldn't afford a PS2 and the games, so I mainly stuck to handheld. But my friend came over with a fresh copy of Sly 3 when it released and we played it all night. Good times, wish me and him were closer but times and people change, I'm lucky to have experienced this game when it came out. An don't even get me started on how good Sly 2 was.

Man, it really hits hard knowing that I missed out on this amazing trilogy back in the good ol’ PS2 days! Especially considering that boxart, the manual, the cover of the game, it’s just beautiful stuff!!! Me personally, I didn’t start getting into the series until Thieves in Time released back in 2013 which was the first game I played. But I am glad to say that I at least have 10 years of nostalgia to look back on as a result, and I really feel for people who have continued to miss out on such an amazing series. #SonypleasereviveSlyCooper

The Sly series is and will forever be my all-time favorite game. It was the game of my childhood, and I fell in love with all the characters. I also have a once a year it seems play thru of the entire series and hope to get my kids when I have them to have the opportunity to play it too

[@ECODKyleskymast]

i remember back in the day my copy of Sly 1 couldn't load the first episode, so we were just stuck playing the tutorial over and over again. In Sly 2, the game worked fine, but for the life of me, i couldn't pass the part where in the Canada Games operation you had to lure the judges away. Now all these years later i beat and platinumed all 3 games and working on Thieves In Time.

[@JustinSmith-ux1th]

The very series that got me into gaming became general was the Jack and Dexter series I loved that series. But for some reason I slept on sly Cooper. I would love the thieves collection somehow to be ported to the PS4 And PS5. So I can appreciate these games myself.

I haven't played any of these games in such a long time. I've only played one of them, not all the way through, but from what I remember, it was fun and kind of frustrating. It would be cool to see a Sly Cooper remaster on new consoles and maybe even a movie or TV series.

I first got it for my 16th birthday 20 years ago, I still remember when my dad told me to buy anything I wanted and I knew exactly what it was, I could've bought def jam vendetta or nba street vol. 2 but I chose sly cooper and the thievius raccoons and never regretted it, I had it for 18 years until I accidentally threw it away while I was moving 2 years ago, however I still play it on my phone through the damon ps2 emulator and I'm gonna buy another copy online just for old times sake so it can remind me of my dad whom I lost last year 😢

I didn't play the games until the HD collection on PS3, and there was something about the first game that gave me a nostalgic feel that is sadly lost in more modern titles. And bare in mind, this was coming from a game I never played until around the early 2010s, when I was in my mid 20s.

[@waterhose8467]

Same dude. I literally just played this game and others a few weeks ago back to back. It sort of crazy how we didn't made anything with Sly Cooper. With the amount of content each game has you can turn this into shows movies but they didn't really do anything with him.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

@@waterhose8467 They were going to make a movie, but it got cancelled. Probably because of the bust that was the Ratchet & Clank movie. Shame, because unlike that film, the Sly movie looked like it was going for an identity of its own. But that's just an assumption.

[@waterhose8467]

@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 I think he was the wrong place at the wrong time. I mean if you think about it now is the era where they can do video game movies with a huge success of super Mario Bros and Sonic and especially with the animation department they should make it similar to the game style with making it like a comic series. take for instance the new poops and Boots movie and the Spider-Verse as an example that can be something that they can do.

The first Sly Cooper game was punching well above its weight. In terms of style, flow and progression, it goes toe to toe with some heavyweights. This was Sucker Punch's second ever game, and it came out the same year as Insomniac's Rachet and Clank and Nintendo's Super Mario Sunshine... And it might be the best of the three.

[@ghost656metal8]

No matter how much love and nostalgia Sly fans have for the series, Sly was never the better of the three, Considering both Insomniac's Rachet and Clank and Nintendo's Super Mario Sunshine were more successful, more popular and sold more copies
