It performed bad at launch, that's a sequel killer to any franchise. Of course Sansaru will be willing to make another one, but I don't know if Sony is willing to pay for it.
| Wagram said: I wouldn't say it bombed considering it basically came in under the radar with almost zero marketing. There is a Sly movie coming out next year so I wouldn't be surprised if something happens, but that's purely speculative on my part. Sly 4 was the best in the series I think. In addition, the fact that Sony specifically requested Sanzaru put in a cliffhanger ending makes me feel like they'll return at some point. |
Glad you adressed that, it performed bad due to bad marketing but it performed bad nonetheless. I know that there's the Sly movie coming (dunno if next year since R&C was delayed), but I don't think a game for that movie is in development for two reasons:
- If they make a video game, it has to be a reboot of the franchise since it would be based on the movie.
- If they make a reboot game, that would be a middle finger to old fans of the franchise since Sly 4 (as you said) ended with a cliffhanger.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Sly games, Sly 4 was a blast, but I'm trying to be realistic.
