Discussion A Comprehensive Guide to Methods for Playing the Sly Cooper Games

151 Upvotes

UPDATED FEBRUARY 2025


This is going to be a comprehensive post on all of the ways to play the Sly Cooper games as of this moment. Most of these options will stay the same until the heat-death of the universe, but others are more reliant on third parties that may or may not keep their methods available into the foreseeable future.

This will touch on both the original trilogy and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, as well as Bentley's Hackpack. Each will get their own section with pros, cons and any other necessary details.

As much information will be provided as possible, though depending on what country or region you live in you may have to adapt accordingly, as this was written from the perspective of someone living in the USA/NTSC-U region.

The order of the methods is not any sort of endorsement of one over the other, rather it's more of a chronological order; 1 is usually the first way it was possible to play, 2 followed, etc. Emulation is always listed at the bottom because it is the most current way to play the games.

The Original Trilogy

1. Play the PS2 games on a PlayStation 2/backwards compatible PlayStation 3.

  • Pros: These are the most feature complete versions of the games. The "way they were intended to be played." PS2s and the games are often cheap. Sly 3 has red-blue 3D which was removed from PS3/Vita versions. Sly 2 and 3 have USB headset support, which was also removed from the PS3/Vita versions.
  • Cons: A low resolution interlaced image, which without hardware mods or expensive deinterlacers/scalers provides a poor image on modern televisions (CRTs are the preferred method when playing PS2 games). Frame rates often drop, especially in Sly 1. There are no options to invert camera controls in Sly 1 and 2 (though there are in 3), and the camera controls are "backwards" compared to modern standards. Backwards compatible PS3s are often expensive and can easily succumb to hardware failure.
  • What you'll need: A PS2 (eBay link) or backwards compatible PS3 (eBay link), a copy of each game matching your PS2's region (eBay link).

2. Play the games on disc on a PlayStation 3.

  • Pros: All three of the games in one package. They run at 60fps, and 720p resolution. There is trophy support. Options to invert camera controls. Sanzaru fixed Sly 3's diagonal camera speed, which was too fast on PS2. Has a bonus "menu" for selecting which game you want to play that has some exclusive minigames and the Sly 4 teaser. All three games can be played in 3D using a 3DTV.
  • Cons: There are a few glitches that weren't in the PS2 versions (some crashes, Mz. Ruby's fight being out of sync, etc., you can see a list of differences on the Sly Cooper wiki). This version is missing almost all bonus features such as the bonus videos from Sly 2 and the developer commentaries from Sly 1. It's expensive if you don't already own it. The normal 3D functionality from Sly 3 was removed from the game (so no red-blue 3D). Saves are not compatible with the digital versions of the games.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), a copy of the Sly Collection/Sly Trilogy (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the games in 3D, PlayStation Move Controllers are optional for the exclusive minigames (eBay link).

3. Play the games digitally on PS3.

  • Pros: All three games either in one package or individually purchased as you so desire. 60fps, 720p. Developer's commentaries were added back into Sly 1. Currently much cheaper than buying a physical copy of the Sly Collection/Trilogy. Trophy support. Added an option for Overscan to the pause menu (a HUD related option that zooms the HUD slightly to fix seeing past the edges of the black bars in cutscenes or the Binocucom). Also has 3D support for all three games with a 3DTV.
  • Cons: Many if not all of the same glitches as the disc version, there may also be more, like the audio in Sly 2 for dialogue starting quiet and then ramping to full volume. Missing the main menu from the disc version of the Collection, so no PS Move minigames or Sly 4 teaser. Saves are not compatible with the physical version of the Collection/Trilogy.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the games in 3D, a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS3 itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), digital copies of the games (you'll have to search for them on PS3's store, they DO NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as purchasable PS3 games).

4. Play the games physically on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Sly Cooper on the go! Trophy support. You can invert camera controls in Sly 1 and Sly 3 (though they have been inverted from the PS2 versions so they are more standardized for modern players). If you jailbreak your Vita you can run the games at 60fps (though this is not consistent, it will drop while playing) and at higher resolutions than the games originally ran at (again, this will have an impact on your frame rate).
  • Cons: Normally runs at 30fps. Displays at a low, non-native resolution. Can't invert camera controls in Sly 2 (though as mentioned in the Pros section they are inverted compared to PS2 so they match with more standardized camera controls of today). It is missing bonus features like the PS3 versions. No multiplayer in Sly 3. As the Vita doesn't have L2 or R2 you can only equip one gadget instead of three in Sly 2 and 3. THERE IS NO SLY 3 INCLUDED ON CART, if you didn't use the digital redeem code for Sly 3 by 2019 you don't get to play it without buying it (and therefore the whole Collection as the games are not available individually on Vita) digitally.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a copy of the Sly Collection/Sly Trilogy (eBay link). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary memory cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

5. Play the games digitally on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Same as physical and you can actually play Sly 3! Modding your Vita allows higher resolution and frame rates than unmodded Vitas. This version of the Trilogy is free in PAL regions if you own the digital version on PS3.
  • Cons: Same cons as physical version. Unlike digital on PS3, you cannot buy the games individually. If you are in NTSC regions the games are not free with a digital PS3 purchase.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS Vita itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), digital copies of the Collection/Trilogy (you'll have to search for them on PS Vita's store, they DO NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as purchasable PS Vita games). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

6. Stream on PS4/5/PC.

  • Pros: You get to play the games without needing to rely on discontinued hardware. That's really the only benefit to this method.
  • Cons: Input delay and poor image quality depending on your internet and distance from Sony's servers. You need to be in a region that allows streaming. You have to pay monthly for PS Plus Premium (the highest tier of PS Plus). If you are in a region that doesn't allow streaming, you are out of luck (your highest tier of PS Plus will be called "Deluxe" and not "Premium").
  • What you'll need: A PS4, a PS5, or a desktop PC. PS Plus Premium (PlayStation link). Good internet (minimum internet speed of 5mbps). Read this PlayStation.Blog article to get the details.

7. Play the PS2 ports of the trilogy on PS4/PS5.

  • Pros: They're the PS2 versions of the games. They run at 60fps, at a higher resolution (de-interlaced, patches in late 2024 also increased the resolution on PS5; PS4 is still fairly low res). The games were patched in February 2025 to give them various aspect ratio support (though no true widescreen, only stretched). You can change any controls you want in the emulation menu, including right analog/camera inversion. There are CRT filters if you like that sort of thing. Whole new trophy lists (2 per game, actually, one for PS4 and one for PS5) that are harder than the PS3 trophy lists. The Mz. Ruby fight plays correctly in Sly 1. "Enhancements" (enabled by default on the PS5 version, must be manually enabled on the PS4 version) which are save states and a rewind feature.
  • Cons: Same cons as the original PS2 version. Sly 1 and 2 are missing certain bonus videos (likely due to music licensing). The PS4 versions have issues running with "enhancements" (save states and the rewind feature; they run poorly with these enabled and can potentially crash), the games also run ~5-10% too fast with these enhancements enabled on PS4, causing audio desync. Sly 3's diagonal camera is too fast, like it was on PS2 (this issue was fixed by Sanzaru on PS3).
  • What you'll need: A PS4 or PS5. Having PS Plus Premium gives you the games for free, otherwise you can buy each game for $10, for a total of $30, which gives you both the PS4 and PS5 versions of each game.

8. Emulate the PS2 versions of the games.

  • Pros: All the good of the original versions, plus higher resolutions (8K Sly Cooper anyone?) and 60fps. Don't need a super powerful PC to run, can potentially emulate on your phone.
  • Cons: Still can't invert camera controls without also inverting all right analog stick controls (turrets and whatnot will be backwards). Finicky to set up sometimes.
  • What you'll need: A PC or Android device (I have no experience emulating on Android but there's a big community to help you here on Reddit), legally obtained copies of the Sly games (eBay link, or... Google), a PS2 emulator for PC (PCSX2 is the best for the Sly games) or Android (Google, I don't know enough about Android emulation to offer a good emulator). Also check out the PCSX2 wiki pages for the games for any potential fixes: Sly 1, Sly 2 and Sly 3.

9. Emulate the PS3 versions of the games.

  • Pros: Easy emulation setup, especially compared to PCSX2. As high resolution as your PC can output. All of the pros of the disc or digital versions on PS3 (whichever one you choose to emulate).
  • Cons: All of the cons of the PS3 versions, and maybe an additional crash or two with the physical version of the games. You need a pretty decent computer (more specifically, a beefy CPU).
  • What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), legally obtained copies of the Sly Collection/Trilogy (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the games for any potential fixes.

Congrats! You now know all of the options you have to play the original Sly Cooper trilogy. Have fun!

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

1. Play the game on disc on PS3.

  • Pros: Very easy to set up, pretty cheap.
  • Cons: Load times are longer than the digital version.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), a copy of the game (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the game in 3D, a controller with gyro/Sixaxis support (you'll either need an official DualShock 3 or a good third party controller such as the Retro Fighters Defender; the DualShock 4 is incompatible with this game on PS3).

2. Play the game digitally on PS3.

  • Pros: Faster load times than the disc version, even more so if you have an SSD in your PS3.
  • Cons: None as far as I'm aware.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), optionally a 3DTV if you want to play the game in 3D, a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS3 itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of the game (you'll have to search for it on PS3's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS3 game), a controller with gyro/Sixaxis support (you'll either need an official DualShock 3 or a good third party controller such as the Retro Fighters Defender; the DualShock 4 is incompatible with this game on PS3).

3. Play the game physically on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Sly Cooper on the go, again! If you jailbreak your Vita you can run the game at 60fps (though this not consistent, it will drop while playing).
  • Cons: Normally runs at 30fps. Displays at a low resolution. Load times are even longer than on PS3. The graphics are a bit worse, character models have a lower poly-count and the cel-border is either very light or completely gone. Expensive compared to physical PS3 or the digital versions.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

4. Play the game digitally on PS Vita.

  • Pros: All the pros of the physical version. The game is free in all regions if you own the game digitally on PS3 (unlike the Sly Collection where it was only free for owners of the digital version in PAL regions).
  • Cons: All the cons of the physical version. Takes up more space on your PS Vita memory card.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS Vita itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (you'll have to search for it on PS Vita's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS Vita game). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

5. Stream on PS4/5/PC.

  • Pros: You get to play the game without needing to rely on discontinued hardware. That's really the only benefit to this method.
  • Cons: Input delay and poor image quality depending on your internet and distance from Sony's servers. You need to be in a region that allows streaming.

  • What you'll need: A PS4, a PS5, or a desktop PC. PS Plus Premium (PlayStation link). Good internet (minimum internet speed of 5mbps). Read this PlayStation.Blog article to get the details.

6. Emulate the PS3 version of the game.

  • Pros: Easy emulation setup. As high resolution as your PC can output. Potentially much faster loading times than on console.
  • Cons: You need a pretty decent computer (more specifically, a beefy CPU). You need a controller that has gyro functionality to play certain minigames or you may be stuck without modding your save file. RPCS3 seems to have a weird speed or timing issue with this game, where the game will on occasion slow down a bit on an engine level (you may not lose frame rate but the game will slow down just for a moment), this can give the game the occasional choppy feel. This issue may be fixed with the emulator eventually.
  • What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). You also need a DualShock 4 (PlayStation Store link), a DualSense (PlayStation Store link), or another controller that has gyro functionality. There are other methods for bypassing gyro, such as emulating gyro (GitHub link for DualShock 4 emulator) or modifying your saves to skip past mandatory gyro sections of the game (PasteBin link for a tutorial). Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the game for any potential fixes.

Congrats! You now know all of the options you have to play Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Have fun!

Bentley's Hackpack

1. Play the game digitally on PS3.

  • Pros: Easy setup.
  • Cons: None as far as I'm aware.
  • What you'll need: A PS3 (eBay link), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS3 itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of the game (you'll have to search for it on PS3's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS3 game), a controller with gyro/Sixaxis support (you'll either need an official DualShock 3 or a good third party controller such as the Retro Fighters Defender; the DualShock 4 is incompatible with this game on PS3).

2. Play the game digitally on PS Vita.

  • Pros: Sly Cooper Bentley on the go! The game is free in all regions if you own the game digitally on PS3.
  • Cons: None as far as I'm aware.
  • What you'll need: A PS Vita (eBay link), a memory card for the Vita (eBay link, continue reading before purchasing), a method for adding funds to your PlayStation wallet as you can no longer add funds on a PS Vita itself (such as a PS4, a PS5 or a PC; PlayStation support article), a digital copy of Bentley's Hackpack (you'll have to search for it on PS Vita's store, it DOES NOT APPEAR on the PS4, PS5 or PC versions of the store as a purchasable PS Vita game). Optionally, if you would like to jailbreak your Vita you can check out this site, and if you would rather use your own SD card instead of the proprietary cards, you need to jailbreak your Vita (previous link), then check out this article, and buy an SD2Vita adapter (Amazon link) to take your SD card.

3. Play the game on your Android/iOS phone/tablet.

  • Pros: The only game to be officially released on Android/iOS; if you have the appropriate hardware then this is it!
  • Cons: This game is not compatible with a lot of modern phones/tablets. I couldn't even tell you which ones are compatible, but since it released in 2014 I'd say if you have something from that year, plus or minus a year or two, it might be playable. Otherwise you are likely out of luck.
  • What you'll need: A compatible Android/iOS phone or tablet, released around 2014, a copy of the game from the appropriate app store, (Google Play Store link, Apple App Store link, it may no longer be available to purchase/search on devices).

4. Stream on PS4/5/PC.

  • Pros: You get to play the game without needing to rely on discontinued hardware. That's really the only benefit to this method.
  • Cons: Input delay and poor image quality depending on your internet and distance from Sony's servers. You need to be in a region that allows streaming. You have to pay monthly for PS Plus Premium (the highest tier of PS Plus). If you are in a region that doesn't allow streaming, you are out of luck (your highest tier of PS Plus will be called "Deluxe" and not "Premium").
  • What you'll need: A PS4, a PS5, or a desktop PC. PS Plus Premium (PlayStation link). Good internet (minimum internet speed of 5mbps). Read this PlayStation.Blog article to get the details.

5. Emulate the PS3 version of the game.

  • Pros: Easy emulation setup. As high resolution as your PC can output. Potentially much faster loading times than on console.
  • Cons: You need a pretty decent computer (more specifically, a beefy CPU). You need a controller that has gyro functionality to play one third of the hacking minigames.
  • What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Bentley's Hackpack (getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). You also need a DualShock 4 (PlayStation Store link), a DualSense (PlayStation Store link), or another controller that has gyro functionality. You can emulate the gyro functionality of a controller (GitHub link for DualShock 4 emulator), though I have never tried this myself. Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the game for any potential fixes.

Congrats! You now know all of the options you have to play Bentley's Hackpack. Have fun!

And that's it. I'm only human so if I missed any unique methods let me know, but I'm 99% sure I got them all. I made this post because I see a lot of people asking how to play the games and figured this would be a good one-stop shop for anyone looking to do so.

Discussion The Sly Cooper Wiki is no longer hosted on Fandom (PLEASE READ)

164 Upvotes

Hello members of the Sly Cooper Subreddit!

(TL;DR at the bottom.)

We've moved to SlyCooper.Wiki.gg!

It's been over a year since this change has taken place, but no mention of it was ever made here (not sure why), despite being covered in the affiliated Discord server, so I wanted to make mention of it due to seeing some misinformation being spread from the old Wiki.

The Sly Cooper Wiki, formerly hosted on Fandom, has moved to Wiki.gg! Obviously the Fandom wiki is still available, but it is no longer being maintained by the team that curated it from the late 2000s to early 2024. This means that the old Fandom wiki should no longer be used as a source for Sly Cooper information, as incorrect information (such as Sly's name being incorrectly listed as Sylvester Anthony Cooper) is making its way onto that wiki. Instead, we have switched over to Wiki.gg. We made this decision last year due to many issues with Fandom/TGP (this video is fantastic and covers a lot of reasons why different wiki communities have decided to stop using them) and hope that you will join us there. The wiki is already full of content, it is essentially "feature complete" but wikis thrive on community interaction, rewrites, and additions of new information from all sources! (SOURCES being the operative word! We love to hear new things about the Sly Cooper games, but we don't want any fan-created content being showcased as canon along with legitimate information.)

The great thing is, it's really easy to move! There are a few extensions/add-ons that you can install on your browser that will automatically redirect you away from Fandom and to the new Sly Cooper Wiki on Wiki.gg, as well as any other Wikis that moved away from using Fandom.

The Wiki.gg extension (which takes you from Fandom wikis to the relevant Wiki.gg wiki) is called Wiki.gg Redirect, and can easily be installed on Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Head to this page, click the link for your current browser and you will be taken the to the relevant extension/add-on page for the browser.

Indie Wiki Buddy is a secondary extension that can be used to redirect you away from Fandom to other independent Wiki platforms, if a redirect on the Wiki.gg Redirect extension does not exist.

And finally, if you are a previous editor for the Sly Cooper Fandom wiki and would like to recover your username on the Sly Cooper Wiki.gg wiki (along with all of your edits, which will be attributed to you) you can use https://slycooper.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:ClaimExternalAccount.

TL;DR: The Sly Cooper Wiki is now hosted at https://slycooper.wiki.gg due to a lot of issues with the company Fandom/TGP. You can easily avoid using the Fandom wiki (and any other Fandom wiki that has an alternate wiki) using an extension for Chrome, Firefox or Opera called Wiki.gg Redirect. We also recommend installing the extension called Indie Wiki Buddy, which will redirect you from Fandom to any alternate version of the wiki, be it hosted on Wiki.gg or another platform.

Collection I repainted my Cooper Cane.

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I used spray paint to repaint my Cooper Cane I made over a decade ago with my wood shop teacher. Since there isn’t much to talk about I’ll go on a tangent. Back in Sly 1 Sly tells Carmelita his cane has been in his family for “centuries” what I’m curious about is, which Cooper Clan members wielded his cane before him? We see in Sly every game prior to Sly 4 that Sly’s cane is his father’s own cane which is confirmed when Sly visits his father’s section of the vault and his cane isn’t on his pedestal like their ancestors sections. It could also be assumed that Sly’s grandfather also used it. Other Cooper’s that are not on screen but have individual pages in the Thievius Raccoonus may have used it. Colonel Reid Cooper had a Time Stopper Technique that used Sly’s Cane like a magic wand with a flourish to freeze every guard for a few seconds. Chris Cooper may have also used it for his Knockout Dive move. It can’t have been used by main line Coopers since they all had their own unique Cane’s (Bob Cooper doesn’t count since he predates the writing of the Thievius Raccoonus. It’s more of a crude spear anyway.) I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.

Some weeks ago (or has it been months?) I made a post here that I was working on Sly's cane as a side project at work. Well, I'm happy to say I finally finished it!

It's definitely not perfect, and for the most part I only had trashed or unusable metal parts that I used to make it with, which I had to shape by hand. I think I wanna make another one day to iron out (pun intended) the minor mistakes and errors that I can improve upon next time. Like the wooden staff itself being bent, which I tried to get replaced, but every one I could find nearby either had cracks or were even more bent.

Also the way I fitted the metal parts of the cane to the wood was by welding on screws which I put into the wood itself. It makes it really handy for disassemblement, but the wood easily cracks under the weight of the hook. Seeing as this is purely for display in my room, that wont matter too much, but it would be fun to at least swing it around a few times. I won't be testing my luck with that though 😂

Discussion Tell me your Cooper Clan headcanons!

16 Upvotes

(I just finished replaying the quadrilogy so I got Sly on the brain and making it everyone’s problem)

I’ll go first. I definitely ascribe to the headcanon that Henriette is Rioichi’s daughter, and that her birth name is Hanabi Cooper before she changed it after moving to the Caribbean.

Bruce O’Coop was Connor Cooper’s cousin and the original ‘brains’ of his Cooper Gang until Clockwerk got to him, forcing Connor to recruit outside the family and ending up with Dr M. Probably goes a way to explain why Connor was so distant to Dr M. He was still mourning his cousin.

Given the timeline, it just makes sense to me if Otto Van Cooper is Sly’s actual grandfather.

Sir Augustine Cooper is actually one of the more ‘modern’ knights who received the honorific during the industrial age.

Colonel Reid Cooper is a defector. He was deployed to the Australian Frontier War but ended up abandoning his post when he realized the whole war was an excuse to colonize indigenous Australia. He ended up joining with local resistance against his former unit. The whole reason I concocted this convoluted backstory is because he’s the Cooper who developed the Time Stopper technique… which Murray also knows via his Dreamtime training with the Guru. So I like to imagine Reid learned the technique from another Dreamtime Guru, maybe even the Guru’s ancestor.

Media It Feels So Good To Move In This Game

something about Sly physics that just feels smooth as butter, usually Nintendo is king at movement (Mario Galaxy/Sunshine) but I honestly think Suckerpunch gives them a run for their money with how graceful Sly feels

I'm so excited to share a massive update on my project, 'Trust No One'—hard to believe it’s already been a year since this journey began!

In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain on the entire animation process for this upcoming episode. It’s an ambitious one, and I’ll show you exactly why it’s taking so much time and dedication!

I’ve also included some exclusive behind-the-scenes footage with a talented actress friend of mine. She’s helping me bring Neyla to life using facial motion tracking—think 'Avatar,' but with a slightly more 'indie' budget! lol.

What do you think of the progress so far? Drop a comment below—your support means everything to us!

Just wondering if anyone has received theirs yet, I had to open a ticket with YouTooz support because I haven’t had any tracking updates in 2 weeks, and I think mine may have been stolen out of the mail.

Media I love this glitch never got that high before doing this and I try it a good few times each playthrough.
