How does the original Sly Cooper hold up today? Read our Retro Review and find out!
The Left Behind Game Club's Jacob and Moe look through everyone’s personal effects, dodge minions, and take down 5 bosses to retrieve a family heirloom in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
The PlayStation 2 is remembered for a great many things: being an inexpensive DVD player, playing home to classics like Metal Gear Solid 2, Grand Theft Auto III, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus and Final Fantasy X, and selling like hotcakes. Of all the genres it proudly represented, none were more prominent than the 3D platformer.
Yep. Sony should have made PS4 BC so we could play these collections again instead of the choppy Ps4 versions
Some great memories there! Stories, boss fights, and level designs were all excellent.
The best trinity of IPs I have experience in any generation without a doubt. I would kill for a New Jak and Daxter, and hopefully Sly cooper didn’t end with 4. Lover R&C on PS4

Spyro was in its prime during the PS1 days. Spyro: Year of the dragon was the last good spyro game released since that was the last one Insomniac had developed before moving on to R&C. I remember having a bug in Enter the dragonfly which caused me to actually completely restart the entire came cause for some reason it wouldn't let me progress into the last level i had to finish in a certain section.
Too bad. We might not see a generation like PS2 anymore, when a good game only took 2 years to develop.
I mean, the indie industry is providing a lot of that right now. I had to stop buying indie games on PC because my backlog is so big. I've been purchasing more on Switch since it's a bit more convenient to play and I've already played through three of them in just the past few weeks. I've got more eshop money for Christmas but there's so many up there (some are older indie titles) that I don't know which one to pick up. Add in that the Switch is so new that the Indie library is still much smaller than the PS4/Xbox One and those pale in comparison to what's available on PC and I'd say that indie devs have stepped in and filled in the spot that smaller game developers used to.
Some games, such as Ratchet 2 and 3, jak 3, Sly2, only took a little over 1 year which is insane
Well, you can't be too mad that game development is taking longer due to better graphics/technology. Even now games are still averaged around 3 years of development time. I'm just going to miss that PS2/Gamecube/Xbox generation because we actually got full complete games, no season passes, no loot boxes, no milking DLC (there was some but it was reasonable) or announcing DLC before they are even close to finishing the game, and pre-order incentives were actual physical items and collectables not store exclusive DLC the publishers expect you to buy from every big chain on the market.
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus released fifteen years ago today. Take a look back at his PlayStation 2 debut, and learn about the PlayStation icon.
Aaah remember harassing my mum for the first game back in the days. We got sly cooper then Infamous. Wonder what theyre new game will be
Sly 2 and Kingdom Hearts were the games that got me into gaming. IMO Sly 2 had the best overall atmosphere, levels and story and Sly 4 had the best mechanics. I really hope they make a Sly 5.
1 and 2 were really good. I did 3 the other day. Beat the game, but the controls and game play were not that good at all. The challenges made it worse and had nothing to do with the story. A good game for those that like to get frustrated all to hell, lol. I just deleted it off the HD.
