Secrets & Easter Eggs YOU MISSED In Sly Cooper's 20th Anniversary Poster

The in-depth breakdown is finally here! I hope you enjoy this one and thanks for being here!!! If there's anything cool missing, feel free to share it here :)

Huge thanks Vivi for analyzing that poster I know that must have taken you so long to do but I'm sure when I speak for everyone we all appreciate it thanks. 👍

This looks amazing and shows that even if Sucker Punch isn’t making new game they haven’t forgotten Sly Cooper

[@themenacingsloth]

Yep, they still PROPERLY acknowledge one of the best IPs that the PS2 has to offer & it’s beautiful, unlike ANOTHER Sony developer who’s too busy suckin’ off their zombies in a beyond unnecessary remake 😒…….bastards.

[@lizardluminals9324]

@Angry Orangeman I agree, I don’t need another COD or Overwatch, gives us a new sly game

[@Hebleh]

I love the idea that all the fiendish five tried to escape except the Panda King after Sly 1. Everyone has their cells wide open except the Panda King, who is staying put. This good behavior is probably the first of many that let him go home sooner. In contrast everyone else got put in higher security, haha..

[@mulatosly]

there is soooooooooo much, great job. Your video is the best by far

[@VtnVivi]

I appreciate it man thank you!

[@lancethefreelanceartist1736]

Gotta appreciate how much love went into this poster ❤

[@VtnVivi]

Lovely poster agreed!

[@noahdean9685]

I'm kind of surprised that clockwork was not seen flying in the sky he could have been in front of the Moon with red eyes and sharp golden talons!

[@VtnVivi]

That would've been really cool!

[@Cooper941]

You missed the mercenaries on the first floor that are from Sly 3.

[@VtnVivi]

I think I didn't place much emphasis on them since they did technically originate from the comics. But yeah, they did appear in Sly 3 good point!

[@Monkey-Pan]

Great work. Sucker punch should really release a book of the ideas an concept art of the series. Like how naughty dog has one for jak and dexter.

[@VtnVivi]

YES! An artbook would be fantastic!

[@milanmary8958]

Love it! I ordered it through PlayStationGear and I can't wait to receive it! Moreover, I think it would be safe to say that, if this poster was canon, it would be just after Sly 1. This is just a police office so having the Fiendish Five in it is already very surprising. Neyla is a member of Interpole and maybe, she is here to bail Dimitri out. They are both from the Klaww gang and Arpeggio needs Dimitri for his plan. Maybe, that is when he got to enroll Dimitri in his scheme by getting him out of prison.

[@VtnVivi]

Interesting!

[@ganumon1984]

Amazing art cover to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Sly Cooper!

[@VtnVivi]

Absolutely!

[@SHMidlerPlays]

The ape guys on the ground floor of the building in the poster are actually the mercenaries that Carmelita hires to work for her in Sly 3 just so you know. But besides that I am pretty sure you got everything. Well done, and you taught me quite a few things about the series on the development side that I didn’t know

[@davidosclay852]

I'm glad that some people still remember the unused character Zig and Zag. And one character who never appears in the game, only comic, Winthorp. And descansa en paz, (rest in piece) Music composer.

[@winnerdinger589]

YAY the waits finally over!

[@sergiomoura7211]

It's so great to have Sly content done by such an amazing youtuber! Thanks Vivi for another great vid

[@VtnVivi]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@TimmyBobimmy]

Wow, you really went in-depth. Thanks for the quality Sly content! I just finished replaying Sly 4 after forgetting about the franchise(last I played it was back in 2015) and I'm glad you are keeping the hope for another game alive!

[@relope5404]

Thank you for this analysis it really is crazy knowing it's been 20 years, I appreciate the effort that was put into making this poster

[@jakd.rabbit]

I could be wrong on this but I seem to recall Sly referencing a blue dress in some banter with Carmelita in one of the games. Also, I don't know if you can still get these today, but back a decade ago, you used to be able to download compressed files called "Fan Kits" containing concept art and various files from Sucker Punch games on their website. I actually still have the Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS ones downloaded (I think Rocket had one too but I may not have that one) and saved on my computer with some of the Sly ones containing (then) hi resolution scans of some of the concept art mentioned in the poster and shown off in the Sly 2 Cairo level. Edit: Added everything contained within the ().

[@BrunoCortes1993]

Maaaaaaan i love this franchise so much!! I didn't know about this illustration, i really hope sly is not dead and i hope suckerpunch give us more new games in the near future, i really hope so :c

[@jaythemonsterhunter2705]

with Bentley's shell being green I think that's more from lighting but the poster is really cool and really well done

[@Golagawolgrag]

There's still hope for a Sly Cooper 5 game

[@TYBEATSX]

I hope a new sly game comes out next year, or 2024

[@TYBEATSX]

@Angry Orangeman 🤣😎👍

[@VongolaXZax]

It's finally here

[@VtnVivi]

I know right :O

[@NathanCalabria]

You must have done a lot of research on that poster. Has so many interesting references and stuff to learn about. Like I never even heard of Rocket Robot on wheels, and I didn't know Sucker Punch made a game that old, especially for the Nintendo 64. I think Jojo the raccoon is where Sucker Punch must have got the idea from to make Sly, just maybe. This is a fantastic piece of art. And I'm amazed to see that someone made something that special to celebrate Sly Cooper's 20th anniversary.

[@acebi_ly9246]

As a french person I have to say : D4 isn't a boulevard but a "Route départementale" (departmental road - road system on the department level)

[@crangejo]

Oh thanks SO MUCH for this, it's so thorough, not like I was expecting less of you! I tried going through it, floor by floor, but the quality of my version of the image was so, SO BAD, I gave up after 2 floors

[@VtnVivi]

[@crashslysonic777]

Suprised they didn't reference Peter McConnell, the composer for the other three games.

[@Xecela]

The three bars being unlocked were used as escape goats since they did infiltrate the headquarters of a Police department. And it did seem like he was reminiscing about them by comparing that he is indeed a bad guy and will one day serve behind bars one-day living a dull life. Knowing how powerful his enemies were, he could use them and give them a second chance in life. And albeit if they did do anything wrong again, he could just come after them yet again to teach them a final lesson about their life decisions. Sly is nice at times, but only with a motive.

[@thewebsurfer2919]

I think the bile dress in Carmelita’s office ( 11:37 ) is from Sly 4.

[@DoctorInk20]

Oh this is a gift to the eyes. Sharp eyes, sir! Also, 4:41 judging by the front fold, I think that's actually Jojo the Raccoon's hat. Although I do wish Muggshot got to keep his fedora in the final game. 😁

[@rosieg6989]

I think this likely takes places between 1 & 2 and Neyla caught Dimitry vandalizing, but after talking to him she learned of the Claw gang and let him go.

[@jaotrx7163]

I always wonder why the fist antagonist gang were created,like panda never reference his old homies,mugshot? The crocodile,Raleig? Like how they Inter act between each other, and the fact the leader of the gang is so fk enormous.

Damn to think it's been 20 years I can still remember playing the first sly cooper on my ps2 like it was yesterday.

[@TreBandicoot]

1:16 Oh, no,... I am so sorry to hear that. 😟😔

[@TheMeditorEditor]

One Sly 3 Easter egg you forgot to mention: the ape mercenaries in Sly 3 - they're the ones on the second level staircase with the stink bomb with presumably Lt. Gronk preceding on level 3 by his lonesome. They can also be found exiting the cop (presumably SWAT) van on the curb.

[@blankblankness2971]

16:57 I bet you didn't know this, but they both appeared in the prototype version. I saw a playthrough of the whole thing.

[@zackarymario1335]

you forgot about the number 5

[@VtnVivi]

The manhole's smoke? Eh.... Could be a 5 or not... If we look for a 5 we can see it, probably just a coincidence.

[@danielferreira298]

We need the next chapter of this amazing series. We NEED Sly 5

[@sanro.a.9845]

Thanks for this 🥺💕💕💕 also I was confuse by some stuff. I think the treasure that are raising to the roof is a reference of Sly 1 in the frog level, when you beat crabs that try to gather treasures.

[@freddycrewger]

This makes me think they’re going the remake route. I’m here for it! Maybe have orphanage flashbacks?

Fantastic work analysing this entire poster! Got to be honest, was not expecting me tweet listing all the Easter Eggs we had discovered up to that point to have helped contribute to this. 😅😂 Although it's worth noting that afterwards I had found more that would add up to about 58 Easter Eggs by me count. And also worth noting that Kotz not only references Travis Kotzebue but also Jordan Kotzebue, AKA the Kotzebue Bros.

[@LadyDinoCrisis]

I have MIGHTY NEED to have this poster on my wall! Thanks for the breakdown of all the goodies hidden with the 20th Anniversary Sly Cooper poster, @VTNVIVI. This poster has given me hope that there's a chance for Sly to return. If so, I wonder where they'll go with the Cooper Gang's story? EDIT: Just thought of this, but what if the poster is a filler between the first Sly comic and Sly 2?

[@jonwolf137]

The game series was originally planned as a trilogy so I am not surprised that the 4th game was not included into this poster. If you ask me, I'd think the game would have been just fine as a trilogy as well. Give it how the 2 lovers added up together in a sort of happy ending.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

It ended on a cliffhanger, leaving the series get picked up by other developers at the time.

[@babbabiamesser]

Usually when a dimension is expressed in inches I just ignore it, because I have no representation in my mind of how long an inch is, so I didn't realize how big this thing is until I took a moment to convert into cm, 60x90! That's quite a building here.

[@sonpo6177]

For the Belle Reid sign, the last word or letters is Rd, a short word for road, common for street sign names. So the sign reads "Belle Reid Rd." I don't know about the other one next to it.

[@ariswilliams8103]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Ape Mercenaries from the 3rd game. Not bad of a video, dude.

I always believed the Gronks originated from the comics, issue 2 in this case released in 2005. And yeah, you're right they do appear in Sly 3! Thanks for watching :)

[@magnushaukelidster2159]

Not sure if anybody as queastioned this but could the logo on the back of the police van be a refranse to Sly 4? And could the "one shot" be a refranse to sly 1?

[@NaterBaiterGamer]

There’s a chance Toys for Bob or Beenox could bring back more IPS, even Sly, they just need permission from Sucker Punch, when they cross that bridge.

[@TerrorOfTalos]

There's no chance sony will let developers owned by Activision (of all companies) to work on their games and I sure as hell know Microsoft (if they actually fully acquire them) definitely won't allow it.

[@elharvey5032]

Sony would most likely rather wait for Sucker Punch to finish their next game in order to make a proper Sly Cooper game then give another developer a shot since Sanzaru failed with Sly 4

Vivvi have you not considered the man hole with the shadow next to it, to be a potential nod to a sly Cooper 5 game maybe in the works? No guarantees or anything. But it seems very deliberate that it's in the shape of a 5 and it could be a secret development.
