In Sly 1 Bentley only had a hacking mission, Sly 2 Bentley got bombs and a crossbow with gameplay, Sly 3 they gave Bentley the ability to pickpocket like Sly. Characters have been improving after each game. Dimitri became a playable character in Sly 3 and was given a spear gun, but the gameplay was limited to binocucom mode. In Sly 2 Dimitri could shoot a laser out of his ring, spin attack, uppercut, and dash really fast. So far his fighting style is a shooter type like Carmelita. For this discussion I ask what are ideas that could be used to perfect Dimitri as a playable character.
What's on your mind?

The Lima Bean Man is the Cooper Gang, the moon is Egypt, his wife is Sly, and I guess the balloon is the time machine?

Yesterday I made a little tribute to the couple with some fan-art at the end with a certain Fleetwood Mac song playing that I think perfectly fits their relationship like a glove to a hand.
As we know: all three classics are now on PS4/5, even Sly 2. The few downsides to that game are that unlike its other games, there can't replay completed jobs from the same save, of course without glitches.
Fortunately, these classics come with a feature that allows the player to save to any point they want, separately from the game's save features. It can create a maximum of 20 saves.
What would be the 20 most important points in the game's story that you would recommend saving the game to?
So that the player doesn't have to restart the entire game from the beginning if they want to play again, for example, to collect that bad mojo or to complete those train robberies in Canada or the final battle against Clock-La
In the Sly Cooper series, Cooper Gang have traveled to different corners of the world performing gigs: in the USA (Utah, Canada and the Caribbean), Europe (Paris, Venice and Prague), Asia (China, India and Japan), Arabia and even Australia
If there ever really was a new Sly game where the gang went on an adventure, what would be the top five destinations where you would want to go to perform glorious robberies?
Personally, I would like to go to London, England and of course Egypt (we all know why)
Got a new FanFic! This one has the Cooper Gang dealing with Sly's own inner demons and then reinvigorating his spirits, especially fighting spirits. Even Carmelita helps him out!

After over a decade, our notorious raccoon thief is still trapped in Egypt. Worst yet sanzaru made things difficult by having Bentley being unable to find him with even all his technology. In other words we can’t use Bentley to find Sly.
Also, since we are dealing with a “dynamic time travel” where time traveling causes changes, if Sly did do something in the past like putting a clue in the thievious raccoonus or finding a magical item then the changes he made would have already appeared just moments after the blimp sent him to Egypt and Bentley’s machine would have alerted him as well. Unfortunately, sanzaru already showed Bentley looking over the thievious raccoonus after sending LeParadox to jail and stated the book is finally back to “normal” which means whatever Sly’s doing in Egypt is not enough for him to be noticed (he may have made changes in the time line but not the ones he’s hoping for). So whether it was intended or not, we can’t use Sly to get himself out of Egypt (not surprising given how he relies on Bentley to do most of the thinking and planning).
At that point things were getting infuriating, I can understand why most fans are wanting a reboot. It’s basically a puzzle sanzaru left for us with 2 conditions to make it challenging. I was also wondering “why”, why make Sly’s predicament hard and why this type of cliffhanger. Normally when someone makes a cliffhanger they already know how to resolve it. And when options are limited it’s normally to justify a decision the protagonist would not normally hate to make. Later on when someone was mentioning how two of the postcards Penelope sent Bentley were locations that referenced scenes that had Sly in them (one from a trailer and another from a short video) I realized that Penelope was also an option.
Things were starting to get more easier. As the inventor of the Time Machine Blimp that sent Sly to Egypt, we can’t use easily state that she knows how to track it (homing beacon, automatic flight plan for fuel, time phone tracking, etc…). What’s even better is that because she has a romantic interest with Bentley we can easily state that she was willing to help due to feeling lovesick for him. Even if she has to play villain again and travel back in time by herself, it would definitely be a good moment for Bentleys alarm to go off. Although that route would leave Sly at a huge disadvantage. Also for a sly game to work, we need the star of the game, Sly, together with our tutorial guide, Bentley, at the start of the game. It’s Sly’s game and we need Bentley to tell the players which buttons to press. So Penelope’s change of heart and locating Sly may be similar to how Sly met McSweeny. Given how easy it was fitting, I feel like the whole reason sanzaru sent Sly to Egypt was not because they were sequel baiting but to provide a way for a former protagonist to return home.
Unfortunately, thanks to how sanzaru depicted her not everyone is actually on board with using Penelope, even if she does fulfill the requirements. Most communities I’ve been to usually has at least one ranting about how they can’t stand her using Sanzaru’s depiction of her to justify their choice of words. With talk like that it’s no wander we are waiting so long for Sly to get out of Egypt.
Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m trying to be open minded but coming up with an idea is only the start of a long process. We also need it to be as good as the original Sly games.
Some of the villains in the fourth game have some strange abilities: El Jefe could control electricity and fire, Toothpick could control sandstorms and change size, Grizz could control ice and wind, and Miss Decibel had some mysterious sonic attacks.
It's unclear where they even got such abilities, unlike Penelope and Le Paradox. Even though Miss Decibel is somewhat of a mystic, just having a horn stuck in her nose shouldn't be enough to grant her hypnotic abilities.
Bad guys in other games didn't do moves like that during boss fights, Octavian's death song was a sort of supersonic roar, and for others who could do similar things, it was obvious and known where they got those abilities, like Mz Ruby´s voodoo and General Tsao's family's black magic.
And playstation hq answer me question now
I’ve been hearing a lot of ideas relating to time travel like “Sly is his first ancestor “ or “Penelope created Clockwerk”. The problem is those ideas work for a static time travel theory but the changes in the book shows that the game is doing a dynamic time travel theory. Let me explain:
-Static theory is where everything is fixed, you go back in time and nothing changes because you were ment to do it. Example, when a villain goes back to prevent the hero from becoming a hero but ironically creates the hero instead.
-Dynamic theory is the exact opposite where time can change, you go back in time to change something and something gets altered, sometimes for the worst. Example, you go back in time to stop a friend from making a horrible choice that led them to become a villain but succeeding in doing so resulted in someone else making that choice and they end up becoming more horrible than the original.
Since the book keeps changing every time LeParadox sent some back then this game series focuses on the Dynamic theory and since Clockwerk and Slytunkamen were already mentioned in the book before Bentley and Penelope created the Time Machine then Sly could never be his own ancestor and could Penelope never have created Clockwerk.
Clockwerk, a mysterious robotic bird that has somehow existed since ancient times and is powered by pure hatred for the Cooper clan, but as a long-standing mystery, how and why? Also, even though he was destroyed in the first two games, is he definitely gone completely? Considering he was even seen in Thieves in Time game during the Ice Age episode, for example, watching over the valley and when one of his eyes is found in the episode's safe.
My own theory:
When he was still flesh and blood, he was not only a skilled thief, but also some kind of mystic who had something that allowed him to see into the future, in this way, he was the greatest thief of his time, but he also saw a rival family (the Coopers) that surpassed his fame many times over for several generations, where did that hatred and jealousy began and at the same time he learned about future technology, its creation and use. When we remember that Clockwerk said that revenge is the prime ingredient in the fountain of youth and that he has stayed alive for hundreds of years on a steady diet of jealousy and hate, that sounds like the talk of a wizard.
The connection to mysticism and magic could explain why his eyes remained even though everything else had rusted away. It's as if the eyes were part of a different magical artifact, but Clockwerk stole them and made them a part of himself.
The series has also seen supernatural things from time to time: Mz Ruby's voodoo, ghosts and evil mojo in Prague, the Aborginal Guru, the Mask of the Dark Earth, General Tsao's black magic, flying carpets and a thief costume from Arabia, and finally Miss Decibel's hypnotic horn snout. So why couldn't Clockwerk be included in that in a way?
And while there were no signs of mysticism in Clockwerk's volcanic base, it's possible he's already given up on all of them over time and replaced them with high technology.
It's also possible that his mechanical body was also partly magical, like a mind shuffler, when a living being can merge with it, like Neyla did in the second game, and when the hate chip was destroyed, the rest of his body suddenly aged in seconds. A normal machine wouldn't do that when its power source is gone. On the other hand, that machinery is already thousands of years old and the hate chip just kept it from aging.
And that hate chip turned the feeling of hate into a life force that kept the body parts intact and in good condition, even though the person in question is already dead. What if that feeling of hate came from the spirit of Clockwerk himself, who remained on Earth to haunt Sly and his allies after the hate chip and his body were destroyed?
What about Neyla: After becoming Clock-La, Neyla initially seemed normal in nature until she said she felt a power growing within her. After this, her hatred for Sly and Cooper's gang suddenly grew explosively, making her even more evil than she was originally. This may refer to the spirit of Clockwerk beginning to corrupt Neyla's soul and mind.
And finally, considering these robot guards Penelope built in the Middle Ages, which resembled Clockwerk: Yellow eyes, gray metal, and brown fur. Who knows, maybe Clockwerk's evil spirit corrupted Penelope next, making her hate Sly and his principles, such as honor, in the same way that Neyla experienced when she turned into a Clock-La, which might explain Penelope's betrayal on these grounds.
Can you guess what Sly 1, Sucker Punching's latest creation, Ghost of Yotei (other than the fact that they are made by the same game company), and of course, Assassin's Creed games have in common?
Just in time for the season of scares here's a treat (no trick!) for all you Sly Cooper Fans!
Sly Cooper Halloween Heist Chapter 1, a sly cooper fanfic | FanFiction
In Sly 3, we mainly used RC vehicles piloted by Penelope with a sword duel boss fight with Lefwee. Not much to go on, mainly because her hub world accessibility was scrapped for time. Then sanzaru came and gave her a mech suit and robots, but made her an antagonist. Which isn’t going well at all. Clearly what they should have done was improve her gameplay mechanics similar to how Bentley and Murray were between Sly 1 and 2. So I’m asking you guys what would you have done to Penelope’s gameplay mechanics?
No he doesn't say when a 5th game is on the horizon, but he did mention posting on his social media of a (macabre) way to bring Sly back...
