That's true, but not quite what I meant. At this point, I'm just happy that Sly Cooper is making a comeback...


I never cared about Sly Cooper until I played Playstation Allstars. Now all I want to do is play his games. lol


Crossover fighting games are great gateway games. I didn't care much about Zelda before I played SSB on the N64. :D

This sums up Sly Cooper nicely: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/10/31/do-the-sly-cooper-and-assassin-s-creed-universes-coexist.aspx


LOL Looks like Sony has had their own version of Assassins Creed all this time. 


Yeah. No wonder I actually liked Assassain's Creed II and Brotherhood...


I will buy the HD Collection as well as Jak and Daxter now. Cant wait for the new Sly now coming next year.


I have seriously considered getting a Vita to play Sly 4. But since a new developer has taken the reins, I may wait for reviews or word from fellow Sly fans.

Indeed. It's almost like Sony making a kart racer in order to nab some Mario Kart fans. At least it shows an attempt at diversification, but sometimes it's best to stick with what the audience expects.


Yea they successfully did that with Crash Team Racing :)


When was that? The PS1 days? That's like me using Goldeneye 007 on N64 as an example of how Nintendo can successfully woo the CoD crowd.

Yea it was back in the ps1 days but they still have done it at the end of the day ;)


I'm not conviced that Sony is the same as they used to be. In fact, that's a big reason why I didn't buy a PS3 this generation... definitely liked them more when they were more capably enchroaching on Nintendo's audience. Even I had a PS2 several years back.

Totally understandable because a lot has changed since then. Sony have always used that "anything you can do I can do better" approach. Sony and Nintendo always been in their own respective markets while they were competitors. SOny always had the bigger audience out of the 2 and that is why MS infiltrated the PS market


It kinda makes me sad though, because it seems as if Sony is spending a lot of resources on taking back the audience Microsoft pilfered. And I'm definitely not part of that audience by any means.


Yep, I read somewhere a couple years back that Microsoft saw that Sony was taking over the living room with their videogame consoles and they wanted in. It's the same reason Microsoft is going so hard after Apple. Well, they failed with the Zune, but you get the picture. They want to monopolize any multimedia market they can get their hands on.


So my dislike for Microsoft is as justified as I thought it was. Their meddling has been souring the efforts of the entire industry. *wags fist*


LOL Microsoft had no game to enter the gaming industry with either, so they just bought Halo from under Steve Jobs nose because he refused to buy Bungie. Lets just say he was super pissed because he had planned for Halo to be Apples big exclusive to stand as a viable game player as well as computer.

As long as Sony show off their console at the same time as MS, there is a good chance people will stay with PS. I think they will both show their consoles next E3 there will perhaps be half a year difference between the two which won't be game changing. Even though I'm primarily a 360 gamer (I do have all 3 though), I really don't see why any PS owner would switch to Xbox. PS has more exclusives, stronger console overall, great functionalities, etc. As long as they keep online play free and make PS Plus even better, there is no reason to go to Xbox.

No, I'll buckle and buy a PS4. What kind of a thread is this? Your saying that people will switch from PlayStation to Xbox because of 3RD PARTY GAMES?! Btw where do you get this magic power to tell into the future that the 720 will release before the PS4? I need it to pick my lottery numbers.

Just wtf...

The guys making Sly 4 did the Sly collection. Also Sucker Punch has said that they are watching what the new developer does closely because they still want the same old Sly Cooper game feel. Sly Cooper was my first PlayStation exclusive game that I played on the PS2 and I can't wait for Sly 4!

I'll only buy an Xbox again if one of these happen:

1. Sony goes under;
2. Microsoft stops charging for online play;
3. Sega releases Shining Force exclusively for Xbox.

Well, I'd like to say I equally despise Apple, but I'm typing this from an iPad 2... which I got as a gift, so I guess it's okay.

Apple traded up though. Angry Birds made for a great timed exclusive. :D I hate that game.
