Support Reminder of rule 3; no AI-generated content

236 Upvotes

There is no exception to this rule, and it does not apply purely to art images or text; AI-generated projects done by Claude or other such agentic AI are also disallowed by this rule.

With the rise of technology like this it's easy to get excited about the future of modding, decomp/recompilations, and other such things, but we do not allow this here.

We obviously cannot catch it all, and we are not telling you to hide the use of AI either; we do have ways to tell what has or has not been generated with AI tools (including just checking your post history on other subreddits to see exactly how knowledgable you truly are in the fields necessary to produce these projects), and will be removing it any time we see it.

If your post gets removed under this rule and you really did not use any tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Replit, etc., please send a mod mail and we can talk about it.

Announcement PSA: The PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Stores will be shutting down over the next year

157 Upvotes

Depending on where you are located in the world, the PS3 and PS Vita digital storefronts will be shutting down anytime between the next month and the next year.

This means that if you want to get a copy of the digital versions of The Sly Collection/Trilogy, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and/or Bentley's Hackpack on PS3 or Vita, you are on a timer.

  • Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026 (approximately 1 month from now).
  • Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026 (no exact date given as of yet, at most 6 months).
  • In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027 (approximately 1 year from now).

A few things to point out; the PS Vita store seems like it will not be shutting down anywhere until July 2027, so even in countries where the PS3 store will be shutting down sometime this year, you still have a while to buy a Vita and get copies of the games digitally. Further clarification from PlayStation may change this, however.

What this ultimately means is that by July 2027 the only official way to play Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and Bentley's Hackpack (if you didn't already own them), will be through the PlayStation Plus streaming service. It also means that Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves will cease to exist for new players on Vita, as it is not included physically on the PS Vita cartridge of The Sly Collection/Trilogy.

This does not affect the Sly Cooper series re-releases on PS4 and PS5 that occurred these past couple of years; those will remain available as long as the PS5 store is up.

You will still be able to download any games you own digitally on these platforms "for the foreseeable future"; as long as you get a digital copy, you will not need to download it immediately, in case you don't have a working console or some other such complication.

TL;DR: If you want to play The Sly Collection/Trilogy, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and/or Bentley's Hackpack on PS3 or PS Vita, this is your last chance to get a digital copy of those games. The physical versions of The Sly Collection and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on PS3 will certainly continue to exist on websites such as eBay, but the prices will undoubtedly rise. The physical version of The Sly Collection/Trilogy on Vita does not include Sly 3 so you would have to buy the digital version of the whole Collection/Trilogy (as the games are not sold separately on Vita) to guarantee yourself a copy of the game.

Discussion Sly 2 Mod I Hopefully Wish To See Happen At Some Point.

13 Upvotes

As I am sure many of you know, I adore the Bats so much to the point where they are my favorite guard in the whole series (Can ya tell I love the bats a bit too much? : r/Slycooper). Well one thing that has always chapped me not about them in particular, but about A Tangled Web mainly, even with understanding why this is the case, is that the guard AIs for the Wolves, Bats and Vultures feel lacking compared to how Jailbreak was able to incorporate them in/on the various parts of the Prison. I mean, the rooftops near the safehouse are unutilized due to Neyla's tanks patrolling the area save for a Vulture occasionally patrolling around near the Sewer entrance as is the same case with the ones near where Stealing Voices is; the bridge also near said mission as well as a select few spots on out of normal reach parts of the Castle are the only places where Wolf Gargoyles are present which sucks because I honestly enjoyed those coming to life and feel they added more to the stakes of the fights, the fact that they have the other moves in the regular Wolves' move set(s) feeling like salt in the wound in that sense; the Wolves themselves hog 98% of the spotlight to the point where they commonly appear outside in/on the field and exclusively during the missions while the Bats are aggressively cast aside to where only one of them is able to spawn at a time unlike Jailbreak; and the AI's themselves have to follow weird stipulations due to the ground level not having spiderweb trampolines for easy jumping back up, which would not be completely annoying if the culling/de-spawning rates for Guards was not ALSO so aggressive. Well hopefully now with Sly 1 receiving its PC port, soon Sly 2 will follow and a Mod will be able to be created for A Tangled Web that has the quote of Bentley saying "The war between Neyla and the Contessa has put the Castle on high alert!" in the first slideshow after Know Your Enemy actually living up to that hype via incorporations of the following.

#1: More utilizations of the rooftops near the Safehouse and where Stealing Voices appears and even the wide bridge where the Spotlights are active until Operation: High Road, with Neyla's tanks appearing only in Tank Showdown if it came down to that.

#2: Bats being able to appear in the Hub commonly and in the missions inside the Castle

#3: Wolf Gargoyles on ground spots and other rooftops in/around the Castle such as the aforementioned wide bridge, the water-overlooking sides of the ground area with the well in the middle, the rooftop where the parked truck is, the rooftop in between the thin bridges leading to the Re-Education Tower and area with the vault and Wire Tap, even a larger bridge leading up to the Re-Education Tower with some on it

#4: The culling/de-spawning rates for Guards being either removed or at least dialed back by a lot

And as a bit of a pièce de résistance, #5: Having Shadow Guards appear with 50-50 spawn rates after completing Know Your Enemy and have Bentley saying "Tough is too sissy a word to describe those guys!" during the Recon of said mission actually be true in the following ways.

#1 (For the Shadow Guards): Have them be much quicker than regular Vultures in that they walk around quicker when patrolling to the point their number(s) of times stopped is less as is their time spent while stopped, their flap running is also quicker along with their "checking for the sound source" animations.

#2: Have them also be much more sound-sensitive in that they can hear the sounds of Bentley having dropped a bomb, Murray stomping, or Sly running, doing a ground dive, breaking an object or slamming a Wolf or Bat down from further away than regular Vultures.

#3: Have their attacks actually be devastating in that unlike with regular Vultures, their up-close left-wing swat does a full half of damage and their crossbow shots (both normal and retaliatory when you attack them) do a full quarter of damage regardless of adaptive difficulty, with the aforementioned quicker agility granting them much stronger reaction times.

#4: Make them much more pervasive when pursuing Sly in that when you have him on a rooftop, they not only have their aforementioned faster flap-running, but they also aggressively shoot shots like the regular Vultures first tend to do in Jailbreak when Bentley first frees Sly from "The Hole" during Wall Bombing.

#5: Give them a robust Risk-vs-Reward factor in that in comparison to their allies, they always have larger coin clusters ranging from seven to twelve in addition to having loot 90% of the time and said loot items being the high-end ones for Prague such as the Rubies and Gold Medals & Pocket Watches, all of which encourages being THAT much more cautious when sneaking around them.

11 Upvotes

Sorry for my ignorance… i’ve been playing the sly 1 pc port and loving it. Only bug i have is im pressing o on stuff, sly does his spire animation and it just doesnt connect. I fall right through it. Might be the high frame rate (165fps) but how close is project cane to a sly 2 and sly 3 port? Would have to play the trilogy on pc

Discussion Is Sly 4 even worth playing?

19 Upvotes

Just to preface, I have played the original trilogy many times. However, I have never had the opprotunity to play 4. I do know there is some serious character assassination going on in the plot, and that the writing is pretty much terrible.

I guess my question is is the gameplay still distinct enough to warrant a play through? I dont wanna waste my time on fan fic.
