Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Cross-Play feature allows Vita to be used as X-ray goggles

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will make use of Sony’s new Cross-Play feature, which will allow players to continue playing the game on the go through Vita where they left off on PS3 – and vice versa. But according to Glen Egan, president and CEO of Sanzaru Games, there’s more to the tech than just cloud saves.

Thieves in Time will contain an array of items to collect as players jaunt across time and space. Challenges will need to be met, Sly masks and costumes will need to be collected. Some of the items will be a bit difficult to find, but thanks to Cross-Play, PS Vita can be used as set of X-ray goggles.

Players can use the handheld to “look into Sly’s universe” in order to help track items down by pointing Vita at the TV screen and pressing the button. This will cause the system to “lock onto the image and the X-ray overlay will pop up and highlight all of the hidden treasures in orange throughout the world.”

The player will then tap on the front screen to display a pointer in the PS3 game which will show them where to look for the collectibles.

Augmented Reality can also be used to to help collect the vast array of tapestries, paintings, mosaics and other ancient artworks scattered through the game. Players can use Vita to snap a picture of the items to “collect” them and earn more money.

During gamescom, Sony announced that those who purchase Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for PS3 will be able to download the PS Vita version from the PS Network at no additional cost.

You can check out new screenshots of the game here.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will release in March 2013.

It sucks that Sly 4 got delay for next year. Sony probably though that this winter release is crowed, but history shows that games like this do better in the holiday season.

Great time to be a Vita owner, and it's definitely a positive message that Sony hasn't given up on the powerhouse device.

I personally don't have one yet (will for sure get one in the future though..looking at you LBP bundle!) but there is already a nice amount of games I want for it, and some announced ones i'm looking forward too even more.

Ditto This^

But don't tell all the game developers. Everyone is afraid of the gruesome twosome, COD and Assassin's Creed :/

RE 6 is there aswell.

Just got the SoundShapes platinum! My first Vita plat and my 13th overall.

How hard was it?  I have Sound Shapes, but really don't have the time to play it all till I finish the game reviews I'm working on.  

there are very few games Publishers are willing to put in the Ring with such well established IPs. The only ones they feel have a chance are ones with long history....

• -Final Fantasy
• Resident Evil
• Uncharted (to an extent)
• Mario
• Halo
