Sly cooper Gameplay - Return of 3D platformer

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/juggling-act-sly-cooper/730255

Last gen we had plenty of 3d platformer but this gen we hardly had any.

Sly cooper is ray of hope for this genre, hope many such type of game is made.

and hope we as gamer support such genre as current gen market is over-crowed with FPS and RPG

How could it be a return if they never left?

Their have been tons of 3D Platformers this gen you just have to look in the right place.

Their is plenty on the Wii. Nintendo recently released one on the 3DS just last year.

But anyway I'm looking forward to Sly 4: Thieves in Time.

Sly Cooper is fun.

Yup, pretty much one of my most wanted games this year :D Only want AC3 and GTA5(if it releases this year) more than this :) Although, I gotta say... is the music turned of in that gameplay you posted? I have both the PS2 and PS3 versions of the previous 3 games and the music was always on setting up the mood..kinda weird to see gameplay without smooth sneaking music in the background.. :SDesmonic

Only PS3 exclusive worth buying this year (assuming TLOU doesnt come out this year).

We can always use more 3D platformers, but I must note that the Galaxy games were released this gen, and they're pretty much the end-all of 3D platforming. So 3D platforming never died as such.

I always loved the Sly series, but I never thought of it as a platformer, and never knew it was classified as one.

"Honestly? I'm scared that this game won't be successful due to the new generation of young gamers not really familiar with mascots like Sly Cooper from the older generation. For us older gamers it's fine but the demographic for this game might not want to get it."

I agree with the fellow that said this.

Yea, but those are pretty much the only relevant 3D platformers out there this gen. On N64 and PSone, 3D platformers were the old "first person shooters".

I really really want a good Sly game. I've played all three originals and while the platforming segments with Sly are absolutely brilliant, the other half of those games were poorly designed and mediocre at best. I just want a game that focuses on Sly's high quality segments and not bother with the other underdeveloped characters and gameplay styIes.

Everything I've seen for this game so far has been a good step above what Sucker-Punch did last gen IMO. I hope the quality remains this high throughout the whole of Sly 4

See, I don't know what you mean by platforming segments, the O-button stuff? Because if that is what you mean then I kind of agree, the combat was bad, for Sly that is good because of stealth, but I never really liked playing as the other characters. Oh, and bosses could be a pain with combat like that.

About the gameplay in Sly 4, is it me or does it seem slow? It feels like the animations are drawn out to a point were it slows down the movements of the raccoon. Also, in an attempt to detail Sly he looks a little awkward.

I don't think it's gotten slower, it's the result of adding more animations into his movements. More animation means a few teeny bit more seconds needed for movement. I hope that helped explained it a little bit :)

Well, that's what I meant by drawn out, but thanks. I don't know, the speed was an important part of the game to me, I guess. Everything just looks... off, especially the timing on the ropes with the flamethrowers and rocks. None-the-less the game looks great.

I actually like the mix up of gameplay style they offered in the other games. It gave an insight how useful the characters were in the actual hesit insted of showing it in a cutscene.

Looks like someone doesn't own a Wii... :P.

That said, Sly 4 looks SO AWESOME. This is a day one. I hope it releases at least this summer.

I gotta say I'd pick Ratchet&Clank and Sly any day over Mario. The problem with Mario is that it's just a platformer, the guy got no personality, no real dialogue and no real story either. I wish next game, Nintendo would stop living in the 90's and realize that in this generation, games should have more than just gameplay. I hope (but it won't happen) that next gen, Mario resembles more like Ratchet and Clank, those games (ps3) felt like playing a Pixar movie.

Looks pretty cool, never played sly before might pick up the collection and give it a try now.

Yes, It's a game almost everyone should try!

If you like 3D platformers and being sneaky, the original trilogy is highly reccomended.

3D platformer never left. Anyway Sly 4 is looking good. Sly series is one of my favorite platformer series so I will check this out.

That's how I feel. TBH, I just replayed them and it's more than 50%. I hope they focus on the platforming and not stupid minigames.

It looks ok. I'll most likely rent it.

That was quite good, never plaed a Sly game, so this might be the first one, aside from Super Mario Galaxy, i haven't played a proper 3D platformer in years.

There have been plenty of 3D platformers this gen. They're just not on the PS3.

Maybe this is only because I didn't play the other Sly games but that looked horribly boring and really easy

I cant believe Sly finally back.. looks amazing!!!!!! Day F***King One!

It looks good but they really shoud either drop those 2 idiots he hangs with or change their voice. I will grab it after the price drop which unfortunately won't take long.

I admit, I was nervous about this games at first, since it was being developed by sanzaru games, a company who's crowning achievement is Mysterious Case Files:P However, the game actually looks quite promising.

A continuation of one of the best series from last gen is too kiddy? Okay. :/. If anything, and this game is advertised right, it might help sales.

I hope that they will offer a bundle for PS3 and Vita. Looks great indeed.

I'm hyped. Sly was one of my favorite PS2 Franchises. :D

This is a new Sly Cooper game correct? Not a remake?bobcheeseball
