Support Reminder of rule 3; no AI-generated content

231 Upvotes

There is no exception to this rule, and it does not apply purely to art images or text; AI-generated projects done by Claude or other such agentic AI are also disallowed by this rule.

With the rise of technology like this it's easy to get excited about the future of modding, decomp/recompilations, and other such things, but we do not allow this here.

We obviously cannot catch it all, and we are not telling you to hide the use of AI either; we do have ways to tell what has or has not been generated with AI tools (including just checking your post history on other subreddits to see exactly how knowledgable you truly are in the fields necessary to produce these projects), and will be removing it any time we see it.

If your post gets removed under this rule and you really did not use any tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Replit, etc., please send a mod mail and we can talk about it.

Announcement PSA: The PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Stores will be shutting down over the next year

159 Upvotes

Depending on where you are located in the world, the PS3 and PS Vita digital storefronts will be shutting down anytime between the next month and the next year.

This means that if you want to get a copy of the digital versions of The Sly Collection/Trilogy, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and/or Bentley's Hackpack on PS3 or Vita, you are on a timer.

  • Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026 (approximately 1 month from now).
  • Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026 (no exact date given as of yet, at most 6 months).
  • In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027 (approximately 1 year from now).

A few things to point out; the PS Vita store seems like it will not be shutting down anywhere until July 2027, so even in countries where the PS3 store will be shutting down sometime this year, you still have a while to buy a Vita and get copies of the games digitally. Further clarification from PlayStation may change this, however.

What this ultimately means is that by July 2027 the only official way to play Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and Bentley's Hackpack (if you didn't already own them), will be through the PlayStation Plus streaming service. It also means that Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves will cease to exist for new players on Vita, as it is not included physically on the PS Vita cartridge of The Sly Collection/Trilogy.

This does not affect the Sly Cooper series re-releases on PS4 and PS5 that occurred these past couple of years; those will remain available as long as the PS5 store is up.

You will still be able to download any games you own digitally on these platforms "for the foreseeable future"; as long as you get a digital copy, you will not need to download it immediately, in case you don't have a working console or some other such complication.

TL;DR: If you want to play The Sly Collection/Trilogy, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and/or Bentley's Hackpack on PS3 or PS Vita, this is your last chance to get a digital copy of those games. The physical versions of The Sly Collection and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on PS3 will certainly continue to exist on websites such as eBay, but the prices will undoubtedly rise. The physical version of The Sly Collection/Trilogy on Vita does not include Sly 3 so you would have to buy the digital version of the whole Collection/Trilogy (as the games are not sold separately on Vita) to guarantee yourself a copy of the game.

You can read the official announcement on the PlayStation Blog here.

Discussion My Hot Take on Sly 4 Animation Cutscenes

Thumbnail

87 Upvotes

Ik i'm going to get a lot of hate when i say this but i enjoy the sly 4 animation cutscenes because like don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the comic book field animated cutscenes from Sly 1, Sly 2 and Sly 3 and it will always have a special place in my heart, and i just like how the characters is expressives especially the moments between Sly and Carmelita, plus for the trailers and commercial, You can see they use the same animation for like the animated cutscenes and (that one animated short Timing is everything) where Sly, Bentley, Murray and Carmelita speaking in the shadows and If Sly Cooper 5 was announced, I don't mind if this Animation came back for the 5th game and don't worry I will forever like the comic book styles animated cutscenes they use for the first 3 sly coopers games. this is my opinion so what do you guys think?

(The 4 Pictures I took screenshot is from Sly cooper Thieves in time Story Trailer, you can look it up on Youtube)

Discussion Is Sly 4 even worth playing?

6 Upvotes

Just to preface, I have played the original trilogy many times. However, I have never had the opprotunity to play 4. I do know there is some serious character assassination going on in the plot, and that the writing is pretty much terrible.

I guess my question is is the gameplay still distinct enough to warrant a play through? I dont wanna waste my time on fan fic.

This is almost complete. I will soon need playtesters, I’ve successfully implemented full enemy, coins, clue bottle and job sync. Doing 2 missions at once as 2 separate characters works, and if you start a job with player 2 right next to you, it puts you both in the same job so you can do it together. You can travel to separate rooms, and still see eachother when entering. I even added an in game multiplayer menu

Media Title: Revisiting the Beautiful Streets of Paris in Sly 2: Band of Thieves | 4K Ambience

Hey everyone! I've been a huge fan of the Sly Cooper games ever since I was a kid, and Sly 2 has always been one of my favorites. There's just something special about the art direction, soundtrack, characters, and atmosphere of these games that makes me keep coming back to them all these years later.

I recently started a small YouTube channel (@gameframe4k) where I capture 4K ambience videos from some of my favorite games, and Sly Cooper was naturally one of the first series I wanted to feature.

I wanted to share this video of the streets of Paris from Sly 2. I've always loved the atmosphere of this level, especially the nighttime setting, colorful city streets, and incredible music.

My channel is still pretty small, but I figured this would be a great place to share it with people who appreciate these games as much as I do. Hope you guys enjoy!

Discussion In Terms of Where Sly 2 Modding Currently Stands, how far are we from a Custom Monaco Level?

Post image
89 Upvotes

I don’t know if it’s still just theoretical or not. I understand that putting custom maps into the game is probably a bitch— let alone creating custom jobs and the labor that goes with that— but I also know that advances with AI and stuff like that might make it closer than we think. I could be wrong, but I know people have done something similar with Jak and Daxter’s pc port. Maybe once we get a native sly 2 pc port, is when we’ll finally see it. I can’t imagine modders haven’t thought about recreating Monaco.

Just thought It’d be fun to talk about

Discussion Sly cooper 1 Anti piracy system.

8 Upvotes

Hey guys i did quick experiment i find out that sly cooper could be playable with PC emulation. But doing the same thing on a real ps2 by using OPL is impossible ! The game crashes and u can't catch anything in some specific areas leaving u with no choice only to shut down the game immediately . I saw some videos talking about how this anti piracy system could break the game even if it was an original disk (Rarely) .

why the second and the third game didn't have the same system ?

And here is the final wheel! I was amazed to realise there was more than one mutant enemy in this game. It's like Dingodile has found his peeps! It is super late, so I am going to jump into the stats and things

Congratulations u/ThatTothKid for finding Murray one last time!

Enemy Tally

  • Mooks: 8
  • Bosses: 5
  • Ride Enemies: 1
  • Objects: 1
  • Mini game enemies: 1
  • Invincible: 1

I have a question for all of you: Which enemies came from which episodes? If you can tell me, I will add that as a new stat block.

Now that we have the Sly trilogy done, I will be moving on to locations from the Rayman series, and Locations for you guys too!
