The Art Of Sly Cooper

[@kaisiru]

Always felt Sly Cooper had a comic like feel to it. Never knew it's art was done by an actual comic artist.

[@Palafico3]

Comic artists were super big back around the Sly franchise, I had a lot of them swinging by around my schools for little art classes and I always loved seeing them, we even drew sly once lol

[@Dominicque1]

I really hope we get a Sly Cooper art book some day.

[@frozi1541]

The cherry on top of the comic design is the takedown words appearing when you kill an enemy, following with s horn or trumpet sound like in old cartoons. simply splendid.

[@jrt2792]

When you do that in Sly 4, it simply doesn't have the same impact.☹️

[@GoldenRufi87gear2]

Sly games, especially 2 and 3, are crazy popular in Finland. Fourth game even sold gold in here.

[@henrikleppa7632]

Fellow Finn here. 👋😁🇫🇮 Yeah, 2&3 were some of the few PS2 games to get full Finnish voice-acting. At least during the era (I haven't paid much attention to the situation recently), we tended to get dubs only for children's cartoons and movies (and not even all of those!), never for video games. ...But when we did get dubs, they were usually very high quality! ⭐ ...Even if the voice actors tended to be the same for pretty much everything! 😅 (...But I guess the Americans had that "everything dubbed by 4Kids" era too.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) PS: Thanks for reminding me that in the mission where you take photos of Dimitri, instead of Bentley calling him a "lounge lizard", he just straight up calls him a "gigolo"! 🤣

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

Same for scandinavia I think. This game was dubbed in norwegian, swedish and danish. I can’t think of many other games they dubbed

[@BombBird11]

OOF. Sly Cooper 4 didn't do so well here in the United States. After that one, they stopped making anymore games on the franchise. Sad.

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

@@BombBird11 sly 4 was an unnecessary sequel and easily the worst of the franchise. Sly 3 was honestly the perfect end for the franchise and if the future only holds more nonsense like sly 4 then it’s better to lay it to rest

One of my first video games crushes

[@Spiritstage]

God I love the sly cooper game I remember playing the game at my grandmother old house before she moved to here apartment and pasted away from all timers

[@brawlmaster7]

what an awesome video, haha! I absolutely LOVE sly cooper, and sly 1 is my favorite outta the entire series, it's just so fun and arcadey feeling! not to mention the incredible art style and music!

[@screamingatstars66]

Great video man, big fan of Sly Cooper since I was a kid. I bought the Sly Collection on ps3 recently but I haven't played it in a minute. The artwook comic book artstyle always pops out to me.

[@013wolfwarrior]

yeah the cell shaded style is really good

[@SlyKnuxRealist4]

I'm a simple man. I see Sly Cooper content, I like, comment, and subscribe.

[@icewolf9067]

I wish they went through with the Sly movie. I was hyped for it for years.

[@lobaoguara2332]

Seriously, I wish I had known about these games earlier in my life, it made me like anthropomorphic animals even more than ever hahahahahaha. I've already thought of some stories with anthropomorphic animals and if I were to base myself on an art style I would like it to be like Sly Cooper's.

[@124VAM]

I'm kind of sad they removed Zig and Zag. Having someone take pictures of Sly for the newspapers during gameplay is hilarious!

[@itsyourboyhotsauce1290]

Great video dude. The art style of sly cooper series is definitely one of the things that made me love it so much

[@maymayman0]

Great video, thank you for the insights, especially the chase/carmelita stuff! I LOVE the artstyle of the ps2 mascot platformers, especially Sly. In the past we've seen trends in indie game dev of low poly art, we've seen trends where the ps1 art style is mimicked.. I'm thinking *this* type of art style and poly count, while being harder to produce, is probably the sweet spot for ease of creation and range of expression. Its so charming!

[@brycenevitt4224]

Great video, I grew up playing this game so I love the in-depth dive, thanks for the video!

[@Electricb7]

Madan says that he has all of the original artwork for Sly. It would be nice if we got artbooks or at least post the pics online.

[@Palafico3]

!!! I would loose my mind for that!

[@mightyraccoon7155]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention how influential Sucker Punch’s previous game was on Sly. The jagged linework & the prototype designs of Sly were loosely based on the villain of that game.

[@christian_dontae]

I agree. There were a few things I wish I had done better and added into the video. And yes, Sucker Punch knew they wanted a raccoon character after their last game Rocket. I suppose I was just eager to talk about the art side but even there I could have done better.

[@PascallionXIII]

I want them to make an art of sly cooper book more than anything. 😂 Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. 😊

[@Sticky93]

I loved this game 🔥🔥💯just the name alone was fire 😈

[@TigerShark-o3e]

Mr. Freeze is definitely a good comparison for Clockwerk, but I think Vandal Savage also played a part in the inspiration of Clockwerk since he also lived for thousands of years as well. Of course Mr. Freeze also has a bit of immortality as well.

[@innawhiledubs]

Great video! Love the art btw

[@christian_dontae]

Thank You!

[@innawhiledubs]

@@christian_dontae keep it up, this is the type of content this series needed

[@NitwitsWorld]

The first game was so good it led the way for its later sequels to the next level. Maybe except 4. 😂

[@TACKO2D]

I still have that Jampack disk. I'm gonna gonna have to check out that demo out again

[@TylerTheShepherd]

Zag almost kind of looks like Penelope in sly 3. Hear me out, originally Penelope in sly 3 was a cubby big headed mouse but they redesigned her, what if the redesigned version was based off of the cut zag from sly 1. Not to mention being a second technological specialist gives her and Bentley a two of a kind vibe that zig and zag would have had.

[@KuulSHep]

I actually met a game developer back in 2011 at a local youth center who said he worked on the Sly Cooper games and I remember asking him was there ever going to be a show based on the characters because I too was into the art style. Needless to say, he wasn't too sure on that but showed me some assets he worked on himself like this boss level where Sly battles a Cuban tiger character. I really wish the Sly Cooper film didn't get canceled.

[@henrikleppa7632]

That's pretty cool! 👍 I'm guessing the art was of El Jefe (who's a Cuban tiger) from Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (released in 2013).

[@KuulSHep]

​@@henrikleppa7632 Yes, actually.

[@RamboArminius1]

Ah yes. My childhood

[@Wubster649]

I love this games art style

[@beemaisterreviews1623]

thats one way to make me click on a video so fast.

[@wjcstudios_aewxtreme]

This is sick!

[@nazeirsvibingandstuff769]

To be honest i really hope that one day you'll finally get a remake of the sly cooper trilogy.

[@Nyorane]

Nice!!

[@Hot_SpicyGrill]

Super squad online doesn’t do the comic thing as well as sly, but I think that’s the second best cel shaded game. I think most just use the filter to heavily. SSO dosnt have a filter but you get my point.

[@marveler8994]

Theres a lot of cool concepts they got rid of in this game, I'm genuinely confused as to why when most were finished and didnt really conflict with anything

[@ZzVinniezZ]

it a shame we will never get a SLY COOPER game ever again from SONY

[@christian_dontae]

@@ZzVinniezZ That's not entirely true. They just re-released the first game. They may already be trying to gauge interest again. But if nobody buys the re-release then yeah, you could end up being right.

[@ZzVinniezZ]

@@christian_dontae oh shit really?

[@christian_dontae]

@@ZzVinniezZ yes it is digital only for ps4 and ps5. I have a video talking about it on my channel if you'd like to know more on it.

I am all for your journey to create your own indie game and in fact I wish to help you, I come from a team of artists and independent creators like yourself and I specialize in voice acting I would be honored to work with you

[@Frost_the_polarian_fox]

do you think we'll ever get a sly cooper sequel that will contneu where the serie has ended, after the thief in time cliffhanger?

[@ohJohzah]

This was a very well done video, sly cooper will always be a favorite of mine

[@nazeirsvibingandstuff769]

To be honest Carmelita looks thicker in the trilogy because of how she looks

[@badwisdom5557]

We need games like these, the current games are so moody and political nowadays.

[@christian_dontae]

Agreed.

[@afroboy8876]

What kind of game are you making?

[@christian_dontae]

It's a bit complicated BUT I was working on a Mega Man X/Metroidvania. I still plan on finishing it but its unclear if that's the game I finish first. A lot of work was put into it so it won't be forgotten.

[@bolbol9324]

i love you

[@ryean8212]

I know Sly Cooper 4 wasn't the greatest, but how about a Sly Cooper 5 to make things better? Eh? Eh..? ...😭 We're not getting a Sly Cooper 5.

[@orangeslash1667]

Good news collect a thon platformers are still a thing in indie games. I recommend Demon Turf Neon Splash, Hat in Time, Tinykin, Pseudoregalia, and Project Feline.

[@ashemabahumat4173]

JSR went for a comic style? I thought they just didnt know how to model/texture better, ngl

[@christian_dontae]

@@ashemabahumat4173 I'm unaware of its development however at the start of the game it shows a few comic panels.

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

Are you kidding?

[@ashemabahumat4173]

@@user-vi4xy1jw7e 100% didn't get what I was lookin at with that game, only remember that I didn't(and still don't) like its style or animations even tho the presentation was good. To that end, didn't think Sly was doing the same in terms of the 3d models. Was more obvious with the 2d art

[@RinSyuveil]

4 muddied the art it was not as comic and more… bleh…

[@christian_dontae]

I agree. It went out of its way to change everything from it's graphical style to its comic book cutscenes.
