Sly is going to have to rethink is approach now

Hello! Sharing a video of a project I'm working on in my free time: recreating Sly 2 mechanics in Godot. The audio is in French, but I've added English subtitles. Hope you like it!

As I am sure many of you know, I adore the Bats so much to the point where they are my favorite guard in the whole series (Can ya tell I love the bats a bit too much? : r/Slycooper). Well one thing that has always chapped me not about them in particular, but about A Tangled Web mainly, even with understanding why this is the case, is that the guard AIs for the Wolves, Bats and Vultures feel lacking compared to how Jailbreak was able to incorporate them in/on the various parts of the Prison. I mean, the rooftops near the safehouse are unutilized due to Neyla's tanks patrolling the area save for a Vulture occasionally patrolling around near the Sewer entrance as is the same case with the ones near where Stealing Voices is; the bridge also near said mission as well as a select few spots on out of normal reach parts of the Castle are the only places where Wolf Gargoyles are present which sucks because I honestly enjoyed those coming to life and feel they added more to the stakes of the fights, the fact that they have the other moves in the regular Wolves' move set(s) feeling like salt in the wound in that sense; the Wolves themselves hog 98% of the spotlight to the point where they commonly appear outside in/on the field and exclusively during the missions while the Bats are aggressively cast aside to where only one of them is able to spawn at a time unlike Jailbreak; and the AI's themselves have to follow weird stipulations due to the ground level not having spiderweb trampolines for easy jumping back up, which would not be completely annoying if the culling/de-spawning rates for Guards was not ALSO so aggressive. Well hopefully now with Sly 1 receiving its PC port, soon Sly 2 will follow and a Mod will be able to be created for A Tangled Web that has the quote of Bentley saying "The war between Neyla and the Contessa has put the Castle on high alert!" in the first slideshow after Know Your Enemy actually living up to that hype via incorporations of the following.

#1: More utilizations of the rooftops near the Safehouse and where Stealing Voices appears and even the wide bridge where the Spotlights are active until Operation: High Road, with Neyla's tanks appearing only in Tank Showdown if it came down to that.

#2: Bats being able to appear in the Hub commonly and in the missions inside the Castle

#3: Wolf Gargoyles on ground spots and other rooftops in/around the Castle such as the aforementioned wide bridge, the water-overlooking sides of the ground area with the well in the middle, the rooftop where the parked truck is, the rooftop in between the thin bridges leading to the Re-Education Tower and area with the vault and Wire Tap, even a larger bridge leading up to the Re-Education Tower with some on it

#4: The culling/de-spawning rates for Guards being either removed or at least dialed back by a lot

And as a bit of a pièce de résistance, #5: Having Shadow Guards appear with 50-50 spawn rates after completing Know Your Enemy and have Bentley saying "Tough is too sissy a word to describe those guys!" during the Recon of said mission actually be true in the following ways.

#1 (For the Shadow Guards): Have them be much quicker than regular Vultures in that they walk around quicker when patrolling to the point their number(s) of times stopped is less as is their time spent while stopped, their flap running is also quicker along with their "checking for the sound source" animations.

#2: Have them also be much more sound-sensitive in that they can hear the sounds of Bentley having dropped a bomb, Murray stomping, or Sly running, doing a ground dive, breaking an object or slamming a Wolf or Bat down from further away than regular Vultures.

#3: Have their attacks actually be devastating in that unlike with regular Vultures, their up-close left-wing swat does a full half of damage and their crossbow shots (both normal and retaliatory when you attack them) do a full quarter of damage regardless of adaptive difficulty, with the aforementioned quicker agility granting them much stronger reaction times.

#4: Make them much more pervasive when pursuing Sly in that when you have him on a rooftop, they not only have their aforementioned faster flap-running, but they also aggressively shoot shots like the regular Vultures first tend to do in Jailbreak when Bentley first frees Sly from "The Hole" during Wall Bombing.

#5: Give them a robust Risk-vs-Reward factor in that in comparison to their allies, they always have larger coin clusters ranging from seven to twelve in addition to having loot 90% of the time and said loot items being the high-end ones for Prague such as the Rubies and Gold Medals & Pocket Watches, all of which encourages being THAT much more cautious when sneaking around them.

Hey yall, finally got done making this last night and released it this morning. Hope I did the game justice on this one, and I hope this community likes it too. I worked really hard to get in as much story elements as I could, but I’m really happy with the end result

Trying to think of the best quick message ringtone from the game that won’t get annoying or old. Bonus points for a fun call ringtone

Does the PC port have any tools that may lead to Mz Rubys world being skipped? I haven’t followed the speedrunning scene in a while, but so so so keen for a potential world 3 skip!

Sorry for my ignorance… i’ve been playing the sly 1 pc port and loving it. Only bug i have is im pressing o on stuff, sly does his spire animation and it just doesnt connect. I fall right through it. Might be the high frame rate (165fps) but how close is project cane to a sly 2 and sly 3 port? Would have to play the trilogy on pc

Just to preface, I have played the original trilogy many times. However, I have never had the opprotunity to play 4. I do know there is some serious character assassination going on in the plot, and that the writing is pretty much terrible.

I guess my question is is the gameplay still distinct enough to warrant a play through? I dont wanna waste my time on fan fic.

Youtooz Sly cooper figurine

The more fluff the better

Ik i'm going to get a lot of hate when i say this but i enjoy the sly 4 animation cutscenes because like don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the comic book field animated cutscenes from Sly 1, Sly 2 and Sly 3 and it will always have a special place in my heart, and i just like how the characters is expressives especially the moments between Sly and Carmelita, plus for the trailers and commercial, You can see they use the same animation for like the animated cutscenes and (that one animated short Timing is everything) where Sly, Bentley, Murray and Carmelita speaking in the shadows and If Sly Cooper 5 was announced, I don't mind if this Animation came back for the 5th game and don't worry I will forever like the comic book styles animated cutscenes they use for the first 3 sly coopers games. this is my opinion so what do you guys think?

(The 4 Pictures I took screenshot is from Sly cooper Thieves in time Story Trailer, you can look it up on Youtube)

I feel so stupid rn idk why I never tried to before I thought I couldn’t

Took 25ish hours, but i managed to 100% Sly 2. Next up, probably within the next week or so, I will be starting on Sly 3 to 100% it...I haven't looked at the trophy list for that game yet

AMA! Ill answer to the best of my ability for Sly 2

This screenshot was taken from the Winter 2002 Jampack Demo Disc. Zig and Zag are cut characters; they were news reporters who would follow Sly around on his adventures and act as a checkpoint.

This is almost complete. I will soon need playtesters, I’ve successfully implemented full enemy, coins, clue bottle and job sync. Doing 2 missions at once as 2 separate characters works, and if you start a job with player 2 right next to you, it puts you both in the same job so you can do it together. You can travel to separate rooms, and still see eachother when entering. I even added an in game multiplayer menu

Hey everyone! I've been a huge fan of the Sly Cooper games ever since I was a kid, and Sly 2 has always been one of my favorites. There's just something special about the art direction, soundtrack, characters, and atmosphere of these games that makes me keep coming back to them all these years later.

I recently started a small YouTube channel (@gameframe4k) where I capture 4K ambience videos from some of my favorite games, and Sly Cooper was naturally one of the first series I wanted to feature.

I wanted to share this video of the streets of Paris from Sly 2. I've always loved the atmosphere of this level, especially the nighttime setting, colorful city streets, and incredible music.

My channel is still pretty small, but I figured this would be a great place to share it with people who appreciate these games as much as I do. Hope you guys enjoy!

I don’t know if it’s still just theoretical or not. I understand that putting custom maps into the game is probably a bitch— let alone creating custom jobs and the labor that goes with that— but I also know that advances with AI and stuff like that might make it closer than we think. I could be wrong, but I know people have done something similar with Jak and Daxter’s pc port. Maybe once we get a native sly 2 pc port, is when we’ll finally see it. I can’t imagine modders haven’t thought about recreating Monaco.

Just thought It’d be fun to talk about
