I have to discuss about this with you guys, because i want to know which one could be right on Reddy for early sales and Teen for later sales on Sly 4's entire existance.


 * Sigh* They weren't always like this Teenbat, If you remember back then how they hyped up 3-D platformers by ps1 to ps2, it was the star grand lure magnet for us.

Which has painfully died inside me.

Honestly, and I really do believe this, with a promise to you, that Suckerpunch might of had the chance to make Sly 4 in 2007, to increase the sales of popularity for the series, but for some reason they were stuck on a near four year gap between 2005 and 2009, From Sly 3 to Imfamous.

Maybe they were working really hard on the project of imfamous so much that they worried of what might happen if they fail at making it, through quality and sales.

Somehow for some reason, Suckerpunch seems like those type of companys that is doing really good on sales and medicore, at the same time.

I know it's strange and it doesn't seem to make sense but if you really think about it, Suckerpunch's treatment with the game industry is very complex and I have no idea why that's happening for them, maybe it's the buisness that is complicated, but it's just so strange on why that is true, well atleast on my opinion for being true.

They used to be independent and I kind of wish they still were, I saw dedication in there hearts as developers than ever seeing them with some other company, but that's just me.

But Back to topic with the sales of Sly 4, on questioning myself if 2013 was the perfect time for Sly to come back or 2007, well for starters 07 had tons of games by people loving many shooters, and the newest update there is to know, by this Sly 4 may have a ton of people following it but at a risk of it being ignored because of all the other popular games out there.

Then you get the number 13 of the third millennium, by everyone getting tired of those games, when they loved them to death in 07, and yes people may not there to admit, but those shooters back then in 07, they were loved and I mean they were very loved, but they hated or got sick of it by a decent majority of gamers, people want more cool unique stuff, people want a game like Sly Cooper to come back and it's the epic time for Sly to have a return, getting noticed in the darkness of the gaming world, becoming the source of light in the eyes of gamers.

So it's honestly a tough choice, in wonder those sales, and you makes wonder which one is right.

Reddyredcp or Teenbat.

On my opinion, I choose Reddyredcp, i'm very sorry Teenbat but i honestly do believe that if Sly 4 was made in 2007 it would get better sales then what it got in 2013, even though he didn't the date for being 07, it's earlyier over later for me.
