Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time hitting PS Vita

"Additionally, the game boasts cross-save support, allowing players to save their progress on either the PS3 or PS Vita version and pick it up on either device right where they left off."

Does this also mean you only have to buy the game once to own both the PS3 and Vita versions?

I actually hadn't heard of the Sly Cooper games until I picked up the HD collection for the PS3, and now I'm kicking myself that I missed some of the PS2's best platformers. I'll almost certainly be picking this up. Whether I get it for Vita or PS3 is still open though, but I'll be buggered if I'm buying two versions of the same game. Cross-saving is a pretty useless feature unless you're prepared to pay around 100 euros for the two versions.

i got a good feeling about this game. its gonna be better than every super nintendo game ever released maybe even beat sega genesis

Good start now DO MORE. Every GOOD game on PS1, PSP, and PS2 need an Vita port, HD upgrade or Vita specific version. This should be done at a LOW COST. Maybe a way to trade in PS1, PSP, or PS2 games for a discount, even if its just for PSN + people. Sony HAS SO much to get other people onboard yet they do not use it to their advantage. And they wonder why they are behind this go round!!

@Legrieme why are u posting it all over gamespot!

Nothing special here...

this kinda game is needed to make people opt for a ps3 in favor of a wii (families in particular, with young children). but more than sly, naughty dog should bring back the bandicoot! that rodent sold systems in the past and it can do it again!

Sony may have waited too long with this game as we've seen like 3x Resistance's and 3x Uncharted's in the time it's taken them to get this out. Games like Sly are what you use to combat Nintendo and their huge family line up. They need to sit down and really focus on their "Mascot" roster next generation to give the brand more of an identity. Nathan Drake ain't selling systems anymore.

I'm a fan of sly cooper for the ps2 and I hope that sly cooper does great on the vita. The game had the same greatness like the Jak series, its one of the top platformer game on the ps2.

I don't really see how this is going to 'save' the vita as everyone says , it is just a port of the ps3 version. If porting a ps3 game to vita ''saves the system'' the vita should be resting easy on MG collection. In order for the vita to be ''saved'' it would need an exclusive sly game. Most everyone that would be interested in Vita owns a ps3 or is about to , so why would they shell out $300+ for a portable when they can buy it for ps3 and play it on a larger screen?

They need to put a lot of software on the Vita. Good game experiences, if they ported the PS2 library to the Vita, it'd be a huge step forward. Software, more of it.

Hope it is good with no multiplayer.

About dang time we had another Sly Cooper game!

As long as it's actually good.

For a second I thought this article was saying it was Vita only, thank god that's not true. Can't wait for this game.

Wow! Great news!

i think this is good news, love sly cooper and being able to have both versions will be a plus :)

Coool,

Sly cooper will save the vita.

The cross-save thing is cool but doesn't make much sense to me. To use it you'd have to go out and buy two copies of the same game--Just for different platforms. And who's gonna do that? The only way that would work imo is to make so you buy one copy for one platform, and get a download code for the other platform or something.

It was only 2 months ago when I played the first Sly game for the very first time. I loved it and bought the whole HD collection afther that. This is truly a trilogy where all of the games are good and each game is just a bit better than its prequel. I will look forward to the release of the fourth game. I'll probably will pick up the Vita version as right now I only have 2 games for it.

Sweet. This is what the Vita needs!

Sony, you really aren't helping your systems by making PS3 ports for Vita. Make some MORE exclusives for it.

Ohh Yeah. I was just talking to a friend the other day about how that new Sly Cooper would be just perfect for PS Vita. I guess I was right :)

Let this game help the Vita rise.

Neato.

sounds nice

That's nice. I'll probably still get the PS3 version though. I'm still waiting for the PSVita's price to drop. Hopefully before X-Mas Sony.

This is awesome news. My Vita is going to be getting some serious play later in the year with this and Persona 4. Wish they'd had more games like this at launch.
