This is one of the few times i've seen a game being criticized because it's too much like the other games in the franchise lol. Especially when there hasn't been a new game in the franchise for awhile.

I havn't played it but I feel like if they did try to change things up people would accuse it of ignoring the fanbase and trying too hard to appeal to a newer audience.

Well, it's just cause every COD game completely evolves the series.

Haha yeah COD flashed through my mind while I was typing that which is why I added "Especially when there hasn't been a new game in the franchise for awhile". xD

Loading times n all that is definitely worthy of criticism and like I said I havn't played it yet but it feels kinda silly to knock a game for sticking to its original formula. Laughably so when controversies like the DMC and change of formula for Dead Space 3 are so current.



OMG PS3-Sales you keep trolling these forums and one day you will get banned. WOOOOOOOOW YOU TROLLING SO HARD NOWADAYS WHAT IS UP WIT DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for this unrelated question but does any one know if the cross buy feature is region free? If I buy the US version will I be able to download the vita version on my EU account?

Most probably not. You can't download EU DLC for US games, for example.

I fucked up by buying a US version of the GoW saga and now I can't download the PSP remasters...



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

At the end of Sly 3 Bentley did say he was looking into making a time machine, so the story really isn't out of thin air. I'm glad it's the same, feels like I never left Sly.

No I'm not saying the plot and premise is the problem with the story. The plot is actually clever and the characters make it very enjoyable. It's mainly a presentation issue. Again I feel like I'm beating a dead horse but go play Ratchet a Crack In time and you'll see how to correctly make a cinematic and next gen 3d platforming story experience.

I thought A Crack in Time was weaker than Tools of Destruction, visually it is stunning though. CT was also made by the team who made the series, Sly was handed off to a B team. Do you think a Killzone Vita game would look as good as it does if it was made by Sony Bend or Nsanity? For their first Sly game, I think it's great. I do knock other games for not evolving, like PokeMon, but thats because I want a Ni No Kuni like battle system where I can control the PokeMon freely. Theres also been like 100 of them.

The loading times don't bother me, it's not nearly as bad as Mod Nation Racers, which was painful.

The cinematics are really in the animated cut-scenes and they look pretty good. I would like better models being it is a PS3, but I'm cutting some slack since they released it on both PS3 and Vita, and the Vita version looks better than the version of Most Wanted. 

Again, if this was made by Sucker Punch I would definetley grind into them about the visuals, they have already released 2 open world games on PS3 so there would be no reason it would look like it does in their hands. Giving Sanzaru credit, they did a lot of work and really respected the series and characters, I'm not worried about the series in their hands.



I really don't see anything wrong with the game's models. In fact, I think they look fantastic. I do believe it is Sanzaru's first developed from scratch game, so they probably aren't used to the hardware even if they did the Sly Collection upgrade.

What really pisses me off is that one of the main complaints is that it plays like a Sly Cooper game. It's a fucking Sly Cooper game.


Well, they had two options. Play it safe and stick to the original forumla last seen in 2005 (8 years ago) or reenvision the formula while sticking keeping the basics. Although I'm glad they stuck very close to the original, the story and presentation aren't up to par with games released these days.

In the end, there was no pleasing everyone, so they still did a great job.
