Sly Cooper 4 Hinted In Infamous Demo

Bitbag: Thanks to tipster Perfectgun, we have this cool little image from the Infamous demo. As you can see, Sly Cooper 4 is pictured in the screen shot. Sly Cooper 4 was already supposed to be out, but got pushed back so Sucker Punch could do Infamous. Here's a blurb from Wikipedia.

[TheHater]

Sly mother F@#KER :)
So basically Sly 4 is basically confirmed.

[Dragun619]

This is becoming a really good year for Sony and their PSP and PS3.
It looks like PS3 is picking up steam with more exclusives such as Trinity Universe, Last Rebellion, and a new Yakuza game already in development. Now there's Sly Cooper 4.

It just makes me wonder whats next? Jak 4 on PS3? Hell I'm hoping for a Dark Cloud 3 announcement.

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

PSP probably has a bigger audience in terms of younger gamers, not to mention that I doubt that Sucker Punch is making two full-fledged AAA PS3 titles at once. Unless they are like Insomniac, of course.

[Panthers]

we could always use another insomniac ;)

Never played Sly, but it always interested me. And since I havent played a platformer in so long, I would probably give it a shot.

[Freak of Nature]

I would not count on "confirmed" just yet,but...Sly,yes Suckerpunch are.

At least their is hope.Infamous will have quite the following,and Suckerpunch know just what they are doing going after the act/sandbox genre.But still being a "true platformer lover",I miss my "quirky stylish/creative platformers"....

The Sly games ooozed fun and style.With platforming,stealth,toon/caric atures and the overall creative design sense of Suckepunch,the next game belongs on the PS3....

I have my fingers crossed. I have heard word/whispers from old friends I worked with on long past projects,but you always take everything with a grain of salt.

This game could be well past "pre-viz"/concept art stage,into modeling/textures.Once the designers/pre-vis,modeling devs got through major portions of Infamous,they could well have started on this Months ago....Perhaps a teaser at E3? One could only wish...

I have my fingers crossed....it's never a bad thing adding style,creativity,innovative charm with fun gameplay aspects,stealth and platforming to the PS3 line-up/And with all the extra power these talented devs have now,this game can be something special.......

[Danja]

SLY 4 would just be awesome...

announce Jak 4 and i'll be in gaming heaven...

[Ninver]

Well played indeed Sony. More exclusives makes me do Dirty things to my ps3. Oh by the way, you've all been Sucker Punched lol.

[LastDance]

It doesnt necessarily mean they will be making it.

could just be a joke.

[erathaol]

Sucker Punch has only around 60 developers working within their studio. All of which had spent the last 3+ years working on inFamous. If inFamous takes off like a rocketship in terms of sales, they'll probably be asked to work on inFamous 2 as soon as possible (just like Naughty Dog w/Uncharted). Not to say that's a bad thing. Its a very good thing.

Both Naughty Dog and inFamous chose to break off from their old franchises and venture forth into new territory. These titles where not made on a whim decision, they both thought really hard about what they would like to work on throughout most of the PS3's life cycle.

Coarse if inFamous could just be the last in the series, that would be sad, if that is the case than Sly Cooper 4 would be the most logical choice.

[Trebius]

Doesnt take a genius to know everyone that sees it will think it's an easter egg hint. I believe it, why not? Infamous will sell well, and they know Sly would sell even better. So they might as well get that dough, it's there to grab.

[SuperM]

Sucker Punch only work on 1 game at a time. So while Sly 4 might be their next game, we are not gonna see it for another 2 years atleast.

[I_am_rushin]

It makes sense, since inFAMOUS can't have a sequel based on the ending of the game.

[50CALheadshot]

You know, the way i see it is this... the whole exclusivity thing was put into play as a means of slowing down hw/sw sales of the competition. Microsoft applied this strategy since the ps3s launch in a way to kill off the silent black console. Pick your poison.
Everyone knows how much the ps3 was supposed to fail, so what does sony do? They provide their userbase with true exclusives that push the PS3 platform, which has turned out to be, in my opinion : the deciding factor. No, its more like a string of wins that sony chained together. Exclusives,Brd>hddvd,Firmwa res.Network,SDK advancements+exclusives=WIN.

"ITS A MARATHON, the sprinters dont have the legs"

what do YOU believe now?

[Ratchet, Jak, Sly, Toro]
The Sony Mascots

[TheHater]

Toro?
who is that?

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

and he'll kick your ass.

http://www.dokodemoissyo.co...

[KKanjiAnkh]

You forgot Crash, even though he's no longer w/us through Naughty Dog. *sniff*

The last great Mascot era, what beauty, anybody ever rember Crash Team Racing. I luv me some Mario Kart but GD, was that game nice.

And don't 4get, Klonoa, and Parappa.

Edit: I know it's Namco, but everyone remembers, the PS1-PS2, but still classic, am I right.

Edit: Don't worry N4G, I know you know, I didn't disagree

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

Klonoa isn't a SONY property (just came out on Wii and has been on Wonderswan and GB) I thought I saw it rated for PSN some time back...

*Disagree? WTF...Klonoa is a Namco property.

[shadow2797]

Let's not forget Kratos :)

I loved the Sly games. If that's SuckerPunch's next game, I'm excited. Though Sly 3's ending would be a good way to end the series, but we'll see where they take things.

This could just be an Easter Egg and not a confirmation of any kind. SuckerPunch is relatively small, so I doubt they've even started on Sly 4 if there's going to be one at all.

[Shane Kim]

I have to say Snake and Kratos as well. Snake because he is most remembered on Sony's machines. Snake = PS.

And don't forget Polygon Man http://videogamecentral.com...
He was supposed to be the original PS mascot but he was dropped out due to, well look at him.

[swiftshot93]

yes yes yes!

all thats left is Jak PS3 and we will be in platforming heaven all over again (this time with LBP!). Come on naughty Dog!

[Freak of Nature]

I could'nt agree more,and lets throw in a little game called trico for a perfect cherry on top of that pie...

Bubbles to you...

[Killjoy3000]

Trico is a company and that title is trademarked so I doubt it would be called that.

[Max Power]

Oh man I am so effen' psyched.

EDIT: what time is the "movie" showing, perhaps its an indicator of when it could be released.

[KKanjiAnkh]

Let the PS3, and PSP's stride, catch the I can't stop gaming diversity,like the PS2, and it will be burials, and eulogies, for cheap ass developers, who wanna skimp on their projects, and N2G's, who didn't get the memo.

[Gamer6056]

wow! hopefully e3 shown or before. All sony needs to show is Syphon Filter and Jak and Daxter for PS3 and I will have a heart attack oh and Dark Cloud.

[cmrbe]

Yes, yes, yes.

[KKanjiAnkh]

I always wanted Naughty Dog to aquire Interplay's rights, so we could get a proper Earthworm Jim sequel, or a new Flashback, their animations department screems for it.

Edit: Whoa Nelly

[Freak of Nature]

Actually a new Earthworm Jim is in the works...The main man Doug tenaple,creator of Jim himself is leading the way as consultant.At least last I heard.I hope to run into him at E3.....

And yes Flashback was ahead of it's time back in the early/mid 90's.One of my favorites....

Bring me Sly,Jim,Jak anytime,ratchet&Clank need company...

[Awookie]

As much as i would absolutely LOVE to see earthworm jim the old interplay is far dead.

[NJShadow]

Wow man, this is an AWESOME find! =D

[2FootYard]

Never played a Sly game but it would be cool to see its unique art style on the PS3.

[deshon09]

cant wate to here more

[chidori666]

lol.. ps3 still gained more exclusives this year like killzone 2 and now sly cooper uncharthed and others... and 360? well forget this ;)

[-MD-]

I haven't seen you leave this site in weeks you post in every thread so when exactly do you play your PS3?

[TheHater]

perhaps he is posting from his PS3. The PS3 does have a web browser after all. Or he could be posting while playing like I am doing right now.

[aldesko]

Considering reading N4G doesn't require you to sit at the computer for 24 hours every day, I'm sure he's found time to play games.

[-MD-]

People use the browser? Ugh...

[TheHater]

I uses the browser. I use it to download pictures and theme for my PS3.

[nightelfmohawk]

You do realize you can boot up Linux on PS3, right?

[-MD-]

Never played a Sly game before.

[eagle21]

YES! YES! YES!

SLY COOPER on PS3 !!!!

[Skyreno]

e3 is coming !!!!

[-EvoAnubis-]

I'll give props for this one...I've put more than 5 hours into the demo and never saw that.

[aldesko]

Same here, gotta find it now.

[raztad]

What? 5 hours? in a DEMO? I dont want to imagine how much are you going to spend in the full game :D

[sinncross]

Just in case ppl forgot, there was an interview done with Suckerpunch last year or before, and they stated that SC4 was coming to the PS3 with a spinoff title hitting the PSP.

I believe both might still be coming and hopefully so !!
2010 earliest though.

[Coolrah]

I don't think I am ever gonna be able to recover from the amount of games the ps3 is getting.....Cough moar exclusives cough....

[Knightofelemia]

So buying it when it comes now just need Jak and Daxter and a new Wild Arms i'll be happy

[Coolrah]

I never played Sly....(too busy playing ratchet and Jak....) Ohh man the exclusives are endless this gen...I mean seriously....where gonna get drowned in exclusives...as we won't have time for multiplat games. lol. Although I really am hoping for a Jak 4 with next gen graphics. I always loved the jak series and a next gen one would make me have sex with my ps3's 60 gb harddrive over and over again....

[Dipso]

Brian Fleming already responded to the Sly 4 question in an interview at the GDC. He didn't rule it out but he did stress that they would be more interested in developing the inFamous franchise and stated that there were so many ideas for inFamous that never came to fruition that they would be quite excited to do a sequel. Can a developer not make a reference to one of their beloved franchises without it been played up as confirmation?!

[raztad]

Wow amazing! So SP got ideas for inFAMOUS that never came to fruition and game is still AWESOME? that devels are indeed top class.

I hope inFAMOUS becomes a BIG franchise. Sly 4 is cool stuff (would love to see it) buth then if I need to choose I prefer the rather mature theme of inFAMOUS.

[robotnik]

RIP XBOX 360

[JJFNIGHTS80]

OMFG NOW I NEED TO GET INFAMOUS FIRST THIS WILL BE THE BEST ANNOUNCEMENT YET FROM SONY SUCKER PUCNH.

[Figboy]

i'm sure it's on the cards eventually, but inFamous is their new baby, and after playing the living hell out of that demo, i can say that it simply feels like a next gen Sly, with a new coat of paint.

i'd love to see what their Sly artists could do with PS3 hardware, however.

[NJShadow]

I was always a Crash fan, but perhaps I really should give Sly a try. Heard it was EXCELLENT.

[Cajun Chicken]

Ratchet, Sly...someones missing...begins with 'J'?

Also wouldn't turn down Ape Escape PS3.

[Ace777]

OMG!!!! its Sly Cooper!

[nycredude]

PS3 and Sony should be put on the national sexual offenders list.

They just keep raping the competition with all the exclusives and great news!

[El_Colombiano]

Haha original.

[tordavis]

This is why I have issues with the site. Joystiq got the pic from us and so did Tawkn. We broke this story yesterday yet Joystiq gets all the credit. Hilarious. I guess I need to start posting here again just so we get the credit we deserve for the work we do. My problem with this site was always the way things are managed. Not the fanboys, not the mods themselves, but the way they just let things get out of hand here.

Edit: Fixed! Thank you Catastrophe!

[BiggCMan]

i have the demo, and i have to say its fu*kin amazing, BUT, can anyone else with the demo tell me somehow where the theater is? ive seen the photo in the link but i just cant find it in the game, i swear ive looked in so many places, ive even rode the train rails for quite some time :/ any1?
