Sly Cooper: Thieves in the time - PS3 - Preview

2:18 AM Posted by Mario Galarza


After a six-year break from PlayStation consoles, it was only a matter of time before Sly Cooper a return. Sony E3 press conference, the fourth rate of raccoon was as announced Sly Cooper: thieves in the period.

Sly Cooper may be back, but the original developers, sucker punch, are not at the top. As they were hard at work on infamous 2, Sanzaru games, took over, which contributed to the original sly titles in HD (and 3D), remastering the Sony franchise. They fear not, though; This is the same Sly Cooper you know and love.

The cartoony animation are intact, but with much more detailed and a general focus, in post processing in the sly collectionwere possible. The advanced detail is used, the characters get personality. Murray, for example, was just a fat Hippo (as appropriate), but this time, there are Visual Hinweise--like bulging biceps, which specify its raw power and strength.

Sly himself may not appear changed at all, but he is much older, more complex, and has a few tricks sleeves. Each level offers a new costume sly. These costumes are not just panels for the raccoon thieving, grant it skills also sly. In the demo we were shown a Pirate Costume, the time slows down to help sly puzzles. A different costume was a suit of armor, one of the bosses fireballs back at him distracted.

In our demo, sly el Jefe (voiced by Nolan North), a selfish, pyromaniac nutjob took over Tiger, the cigars in the Palm of the hand out. He sets the stage on fire, and promptly starts. Sly must give chase, while the surrounding it falls around apart; the environments themselves weigh heavily boss battles. As for "super epic" m, we don't really believe so - this was your traditional "learning bosses pattern, against him to use". But, not at all the fun factor diminishes, and if at all, helps with accessibility probably for the core target audience: families and children.

Despite Sly is a family-oriented platform the game is fun for all ages. And there are more than to keep enough satirical humor you laugh. This is a big part of what makes great sly. It also shows that although sucker is no longer involved in punch (although Sanzaru discuss creative decisions with them), which is still the Sly Cooper , stolen your heart all the years ago.
