[@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.

That was a damn good babysitter.

[@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

[@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!

[@Official_RetroMania]

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

[@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

[@smolderingequilibrium2812]

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

[@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.

[@NotSoCheezyYT]

​@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.

[@maineman5757]

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

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

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

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

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.

man i loved this game growing up me and my brother would play it all the time i still remember when we finally beat it so many good memories and honestly some of those boss battles were actually so challenging and even as a kid i loved the story i need to replay it sometime soon

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!

Sly Cooper was a masterpiece. It's a pity I lost my PS2, somehow I need to get one back with these 3 games just for nostalgia sake. Need.

[@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

Love Sly cooper! Sly 2 Was always one of my favorite games growing up and I've replayed the series multiple times since.

[@SatchelStreams]

oh baby I am SO in for this!!!

[@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.

[@Manglespike77]

sly cooper will be my all time fav game ever because it's was my first video game I every played on the ps2 was my first console

Sly Cooper is my favorite PlayStation franchise since childhood

[@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.

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.

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.

I want Sony to add the series to the playstation store. I want to buy and own it on my account. Instead of through premium plus. I would pay $60 for Sly 1-4 all in one pack. $70 if gets enhancements.

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 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.
