Alright guys, we have to act now. It's been 3 years since this game's been released, and still no sequel seems to be planned. Worst, Sanzaru clearly said few months ago that they were not forecasting to work on another Sly game. But as a big, BIG fan of Sly games, I DO NOT accept THIS as the final end of the saga. And I hope it's the same for you. It's simple, this ending is just TERRIBLE. Sly's disappeared, Penelope became a bitch for basically no reason, and worst of all, Sly and Carmelita are not together anymore. She's just by far my favourite character, and when I saw this shitty conclusion, I cried and was depressed for almost a week. I admit that I am very emotional (you may find my reaction excessive), but I've never felt something like that for a game, either before or since that. The game was pretty good, but the end ruined it completely. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. For all these reasons, we have to force Sony to conclude decently this legendary serie. We must convince them to create a very last game, showing them that the Sly community is still there and will buy their product. We should show that there is a demand. So let's massively spam Sony, Playstation and Sanzaru/Sucker Punch on the social-networks to get what we want and what we DESERVE : a fifth and last episode of Sly Raccoon.
This ending is so depressing. It feels like you didn't accomplish anything, I mean sure you defeated Le Paradox and is arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment and you've recovered all the ancestors canes but Sly's gone. He's stranded in Ancient Egypt, Carmelita will never have the chance to let Sly express his feelings for her and Sly will never get to see his friends and girlfriend again. The damage Le Paradox has done to the Cooper Gang is so severe than Clockwerk because he destroyed Bentley's relationship with Penelope.
Ending aside, it was still nice to see just ONE MORE Sly Cooper game. Frankly, the first three will ALWAYS go down in history as classics of the ps2 era and THAT is more than enough for me. In the end, the biggest things that were threatened in the fourth game, the Cooper history and the Thievius Raccoonus, are safe again, and the villain failed. That's plenty for a fourth game :) Yes, Penelope is... "gone", but i wasn't TERRIBLY surprised.
One of the things i love most about the Sly Cooper series is how intricate and well put together the main villains schemes are. Also when they explain their origins and motivations, so well done and thought out. Bravo writers.
This comment was 10 yrs ago vro how are you doing and did you see Sly has a cameo along with Jak and Daxter in the new Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart? I hope they can both come into the story since they're supposedly in separate dimensions which they can explore in the next game
That ending could’ve been avoided if Sly just jumped off the blimp without his parachute and told Bentley to prepare something soft for him to land safely on.
The cliffhanger was literally the worst thing that could've ever happened to me. I kept replaying all the games over and over and over again just so that I dont forget abt this absolute legend of a game
I have to say, this was such a wonderful part of my childhood. I hope they make a new game but I can understand if they leave it so that Sly becomes the founder of the Cooper line by being the first Cooper in Egypt and spawning the rivalry with Clockwork.
@@NadiaM.E Ah, fair! I just mean in terms of the Clockwerk rivalry. My brain associates that with the actual Cooper line founding so my default start is the Egyptian Cooper though you're totally right on Bob being the first one.
@@NadiaM.E Slytunkhamen pioneered the cane crook. And if Sly Cooper became *Sly* tunkhamen... "Slytunkhamen was the creator of the Thievius Raccoonus" "he had a child named Slytunkhamen II, who went on to build the Cooper Vault." And he had two small canes (Sly's cane was modified to be able to split into two, for ice climbing), and was the next in line we know of after Bob Cooper. So, being the 'first' proper Cane shape, having two, Sly here landing in ancient egypt, and Slytunkhamen being the only other time a Cooper was named Sly... He's his own ancestor. He landed there, and remembered Slytunkhamen. He's Sly. He becomes Slytunkhamen. He has his dual canes, and is the one to make the Thievius Raccoonus, and has a child that builds the Cooper Vault. He kicks the Coopers from one egg thieving caveman to a properly established lineage of thieves.
if he meets an slytinkamen in egypt all he has to do is have him write in the thievus racconus his location and then it will be written in the book forever
I just hate we never will know what happened to sly. He was more than just a protagonist. He was a good man with dreams that helped a boy dream. Still I’ll never learn or know if he’ll be happy with Carmelita through all this
My headcanon, since Sly 5 may never happen now: Sly becomes Slytankhamen, making his striking resemblance make sense and creating a self-made loop of the signature cane design for generations and dropping hints as to his identity in the Thievius Raccoonus that Bently eventually finds. He takes on an adopted apprentice and "son", Slytankhamen II, leaving him directions to where the Cooper Vault must be created. Note: This is NOT Sly's son, but his super great grandfather that he inspires to create the Cooper line and further create the Thievius Racoonus. There could even be some story with Clockwork being a normal owl from the present/future being roboticized and ending with him being sent back to pre-ice age times by Sly. Just a way to make the Clockwork easter egg in Bob's time make sense and give an explanation as to why he hates the Cooper legacy. Maybe Penelope roboticized him... or maybe Clockwork IS Penelope and became Clockwork the same way Clock-la was made. Penelope does have a history of disguising as male, making Robots, had a serious grudge against Sly, and was hyped as a bad guy. Plus, unless she did research, she couldn't of known about Clockwork and would explain why "he" wanted to make a point about Sly being nothing without the book, not knowing about Clockwork's fate for doing so.
I honestly will never accept any theories of Clockwork and Penelope being one and the same. Not only would it be a rehash of Neyla, but it would throw away the mystique and individuality of Clockwerk's character by just making him another character introduced after him. I can buy Penelope building Clockwerk's robot body, but that's it.
Until Sly 5 comes out, I’m only considering this game to be a spin off of sorts. I feel comfortable leaving the story where it ended in 3, with them going separate ways with the book safe, names clean, and vault’s riches given away to close friends
The sly series is easily my favorite game I've ever played, I played them when I was young and I loved this one too, the entire series fits so perfectly every aspect about this game is simply amazing and I love very last part of this game relationships missions stories all of it.
Interesting game. I feel like if the DLC for this game hadn't been cancelled, it was most likely going to be about Sly meeting his Egypt ancestor as it was the only one missing. My theory on what the DLC story could have been: "Sly meets his Egypt ancestor (cant remember the name) and explains to him that he is another Cooper and was sent here from the future and needs his help going back. Egypt dude make some joke about his weird clothes and then replies that Sly is a god who came from the heaven since he does not understand what "time travel" is due to how advanced that is and that does not exist in his world. (Then Sly hear about this missing book that his Egypt ancestor had lost due to a bad guy in this era) Basically the ending would be that Sly finds the Cooper legacy book after defeating the boss, which could be Clockwork but Sly can't be the one to do it since that would mess with the timeline if he defeated clockwork there and not in 1st/2nd game. Sly then gets the smart idea to write something in the Cooper legacy book which then cuts to show present time where Bentley alarm goes off as something has happend to the Cooper legacy book again. When Bentley opens the book to see what has changed and once he see the change, Bentley calls Murray (Mby Carmelita too) and tells him to quickly get over here as he knows where Sly is. The camera zooms into the book where it says like "I am in Egypt if you read this Bentley" or some famous sentence that Bentley will know is from Sly. They prepare the time travel van and the machine picks up where that old writing comes from. They go back in time where Sly is, reunite with Sly and has a huge group hug and telling him how much they missed him, as they kinda thought he was lost for good.. When preparing to leave, his Egypt ancestor promise to watch over the book and keep it safe as he understands the meaning behind it, then says goodbye to Sly Cooper and his gang as they takeoff. It ends with Sly Cooper (present time) deciding to confess his love for Carmelita and Carmelita confess her feelings to be mutual as she has missed him when he was gone. (Same with Sly) They either then decide to marry and settle down/retire or Carmelita joins the gang while that somehow sets up for Sly 5 aka a sequel to the series. Credits roll with pictures of the crew being on vacation and looking all happy that it's all over now. " (This took a lot of brain power to create, but i think this would have been one of the best way to finish the story of Sly Cooper and would possibly made Sony less against the idea of a new Sly Cooper game after that cliffhanger ending)
Considering Le Paradox's time machine was broken and sent wherever Sly ended up, how did Le Paradox's gang, sans Toothpick, get back to the present? The only explanation I can think of was that Bentley and Murray donated their time machine to the police, but considering their reputations, I doubt they'd do that.
Wow you were here only 5 months ago. Well you might be one of the ones who played Ratchet & clank Rift Apart and seen that Sly seems good and well in his own dimension which comes out of the RYNO occasionally as a cameo, along with Jak and Daxter. I hope they both get a bigger role in the next game.
@ absolutely! Rift Apart was a great game! I always love it when Sly is mentioned like in Rift apart or Ghost of Tsushima or Astro bot. Shows that he is not forgotten and that we can hope for Sly 5!
You know, I've noticed something about this game. I don't believe Clockwerk was ever mentioned. Not even once. (Except maybe in a flashback from Sly leading up to this point) Or Neyla/Clock-La. Both were pretty big parts of Sly's past and character development, but Sanzaru didn't have it mentioned once. Also, that thing with Penelope was bullshit. She should've been brainwashed or something. That made NO SENSE. Also, she appears quite tall, when, in Sly 3, she was only as tall as Bentley was in his wheelchair. I know you can still grow as an adult, but not that much that fast. Another thing I've noticed is that everyone seems to believe Sly ended up in the past. It could be the future, you know. Time shenanigans (kudos to whoever gets that one) can go both ways, you know. No one seems to realize Bentley said timespace. He could also have ended up in an alternate universe. To sum it up? I hope Sanzaru doesn't screw anything up in the next game, or I'll be upset. I mean, Sly 4 is amazing, despite a few drawbacks here and there, and I hope it stays that way for Sly 5 (if there is one). So far, all these new installments of the series have been amazing, as is the movie, so I hope it stays that way.
Tete tons Ah. I hadn't noticed before, so thanks for sharing that detail with me! And, thinking about it, they probably never mentioned him because they might accidentally let it slip that Clockwerk kills the Cooper ancestors.
I think the Penelope thing makes perfect sense. She realized what the two greatest minds in the universe put together could accomplish and fell susceptible to the greed. The possibility of power and control. She is human after all. Well...a mouse, but you get the point. But Bentley will have Sly's back to the very bitter end. The only stupid thing Penelope did was actually believe Bentley could be influenced like that - I mean, Dr. M tried convincing him of the same thing during Sly 3. And failed miserably
The Stevanator well in all honesty its probably going to be a prequel sequel just like this one was. a sequel presenting a story that in part or fully would be a prequel story line.
In my head I always felt that Penelope becomes Clockwork. It just makes sense. Her hatred for sly, access to time travel, and her tech smarts. Plus she’s a field mouse right? Hawks eat those.
I think this game was rather too short. I remember back to Sly 2 or 3 when the episodes were way longer than in this game. I hope the next one will be longer (obvious there will be a new one, since there will be a film in 2016 and this ending is rather a cliffhanger than a real ending to the series)
the translastion is the worst i've ever seen, but I think I get your point. Sly could give bentley a sign where he is by drawing the cooper symbol on a pyramide or something. Guess this would be an option for a start of a new game
Dont give up on sly cooper. Ps5 is here. We have time too hope for a sly cooper sequel. Time too start blowing up RUclips too get sony too make another sly. I definitely aint gonna stop. Sly cooper is my childhood. I love the games.
This had so much potential for a 5th and final sequel wtf is wrong with the developers. On a side note. The final battle with Sly and Le Paradox goes perfect with the Arrow season 6 soundtrack “Final Showdown with Diaz” sans the dialogue from Sly and Le Paradox
I heard they are not making a sly 5. After this huge cliff hanger :(. My prediction though would be another time travel game sort of, where sly meets the ancestors that were not shown in sly 4?
Thrives in time 2 should be the great finale: they can retake Clockwerks story. They could fight and finish him off somewhere before he kills Sly's family. Getting Sly's family reunited could be a great Drama for a game; having The cooper gang re-meet as adults with only Sly remembering how they met in the previous timeline in the orphanage. Idk, there's a lot that can be done Besides, the material is there already: A non-robotic Clockwerk can be seen throughout the game in various location just watching you... The games mission could be about stoping him form becoming a robot so he's weak enough to be defeated. I'd love to see that happen
What if Penelope steals the time machine and brings non-mech Clockwerk into the future, which fucks up the timeline, and Sly isn't affected because of his presence in ancient Egypt? Building off that, what if she got Clockwerk from before his vendetta against the Coopers started, and Sly has to work with him to stop whatever the hell is going on?
You’re forgetting a crucial detail, Sly met Bentley and Murray when he was sent to live at the orphanage after his parents were killed by Clockwork. If Sly were able to travel through time and stopped their deaths, then there would be a paradox causing Sly to never have met the guys and the regular timeline would have been reset where he would only be a solo thief. He might still end up with Carmelita, since she would still be after him.
Israel Rdz. Or, Sly ends up at the moment his father is about to be murdered, and has to choose whether to let his father die and be able to become a thief and stop other criminals’ schemes in the future, or prevent his death and let the villains from the previous games win. Completing the game with 100% has Sly choosing to let his father die so the events of the first 4 games occur as they are supposed to. Completing with below 100% makes Sly save his dad and return to the present to find a post-apocalyptic wasteland that was Paris.
Everyone still frustrated about how this game ended and people are still begging Sony for sly 5 since 2014 it’s been a decade sucker punch said no one is working on a sly cooper game
OMG MY FAVORITE COOPER, Slytunkhamen Cooper! He can go INVISIBLE!!!! Also, I thought that Rioichi used Two Dagger-like Canes at once, and was a lady. But oh well. Slytunkhamen!!!!!! It's really going to be him because it's in Egypt! And Slytunkhamen started the Cooper Clan in the 1300's! Sly said it himself! OMG NERDGASM
Here’s an interesting thought though: Obviously Sly lands in ancient Egypt. Let’s say no one had ever heard of Cooperkhamen though, not his family, his contacts, or his gang. Sly knew them, knew what styles and moves Cooperkhamen created, knew his heists, all of it. So he recreates the outfit of Cooperkhamen, builds the contacts and the gang, and convinces Cooperkhamen’s family to go along with it as his family. Sly then does every heist as the Thievius Raccoonus says Cooperkhamen does, all at the proper times, and even manages to leave hints at the newly created Book of the Cooper Clan about where he was. Maybe even changed something in history enough to cause a notable change in modern day world that Bentley would take notice. But all that leaves one question left: if Sly WAS Cooperkhamen, then where did Sly get his plans to do everything he did as the creator of the Cooper Clan? Use of the Bootstrap Paradox here, it’s a very interesting concept
4 Sly Cooper Games in 11 Years, but I agree with all the other Comments on here. Why end it on Cliffhanger, I think they owe it to the Fans to make 1 More Video Game to see what Happens or how he gets back home !!!
I think its kind of funny how people are theory crafting about what could happen but nobody stopped to consider this. What is Sly started AND ended the Cooper line as far as the thevious raccoonus goes. In a similar manner to Jak and Mar (at least I think its Mar its been years since I played those games). In the first game the cutscene after beating Ms. Ruby spoke about a cooper who used an invisibility technique, that being said wouldn't one of the most important things to pass on be the invisibility as it allows someone to hide in plain sight while thieving. It would also explain a little bit about clockwerk as he would be facing the most experienced Cooper in history, and therefore would be extremely likely to lose that encounter and the other especially considering all the additional experience Sly has fighting him in particular. In the cooper vault there is also some small evidence that could possibly support my theory. The very first area is an area from ancient egypt. Sly would have a knowledge of the island and where the vault would eventually be placed, so he would probably end up starting it and then passing along the legend. This theory also allows for a few reasons why the coopers were the best thieves in history. They would already have knowledge that was handed down from generation to generation from Sly. Yeah.... thats it rant over.... too tired to think of anything else.
perhaps but its similar to inventing the wheel. it was an original idea that became so popular it was impossible to tell when and where it originated from
If the gang really wanted to find out what happened to Sly, they simply should have started looking for Penelope first, since Le Paradox mentioned that she built that time tunnel.
If some times in the nearest future, they get around to making a Sly Cooper 5, then we’d like to see Clockwerk again, seeing how Sly is stuck in the past, when the owl is still alive.
When Le Paradox explained his reason, it reminded me of Clockwerk; He wanted to prove a point to which without the Thievious Raccoonus, the Cooper Clan is nothing and Le Paradox wanted to prove that the Cooper Clan was nothing without their Canes... Guess it's not surprising when both villains are arch-enemies of the Cooper Clan.
saad mirza But didn't they show Carmellita searching the wreck of the blimp? It was near the bridge in the water. Did it, like, break in half or something?
saad mirza But there was no time portal in front of the blimp where Sly was standing. I know that there was an unstable one going on inside of it, but that one had no pre-set destination.
newcollector it randomly sent him to Egypt otherwise he would be gone to anywhere. One Interesting thing to note that Sanzaru really wanted Egypt world in thieves in time but couldn't in final game. They gave us hint that if they will make Sly 5, Egypt world would be one of them.
It’s been 8 goddamn years and still no sequel. At this point I don’t even consider this game canon. Play the first 3, they’re the best. I don’t care how playable this game is, fuck this ending and fuck Sanzaru and Sony for not intending to do a sequel. I’m never forgiving them for this 2023: Still nothing??? Goddamnit Sony
2024: Despite the PS2 re-release of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus on the PS4 and PS5 on June 11, 2024, it has now been 11 years since Thieves of Time was released, and there's still no news of a sequel yet to be announced.
Sanzaru games stated that they can't leave sly in ancient Egypt, which personally leads me to believe that a sly 5 will happen soon, I have faith that Sanzaru will give us sly 5 in the future, we just need to be patient for a while longer
I never got to play the first or fourth game yet. I plan to someday but the fact that they are going to leave the Sly series on a cliffhanger makes me angry. Suckerpunch should make the fifth game, though sly 3 was KINDOF left on a cliffhanger, it didn't REALLY need a sequel.
OOH! I GET IT! Maybe this sly managed to move from this Egypt to the museum in sly 2 and there he sees sly from sly 2 causing 2 Sly's to be present and altering time idk its just a theory... A Game Theory!
I did enjoy this game, though not as much as the previous instalments. There were three things that really bugged me: - Time Travel always opens up all sorts of cans of worms, though I DO love the Idea of playing as the Ancestors, here is how I would have done it: Sly is "out of the business" for a long time, but for he and his crew have to pull off one of their greatest heists yet, so to brush up on his skill he reads the Thievius Racoonus, and then the game cuts to the ancestors in their respective greatest heist (with their sidecharacters and arcs). Also though I understand from the design perspective why they did this: many of the ancestors just felt like "skin swaps" of Sly. The exception being "bob" (...wtf actually? not that I would have liked to play the prehistoric thief, but he and his cain look nothing like represented in Sly 3, as do most...) and maybe the shooting of Tenesse. This way we could avoid the time travel nonsense, and have more fleshed out ancestor characters. - Penelopé...after the twist, I just had to think of bentley guiding her blinded ass through the pirate level, the way she looked and "felt" as a character. It is so out of character and just feels like random shock element actually. - The feel of the game. I can best describe it as "sluggish" or "wobbly". The worst offender is Murray, the timing after which he can jump after punching (or "punch cancelling") is so slow, that it actually got me killed in the Ice Boss fight. Murray felt soo wrong, and I never particularly enjoyed playing as him anyway. The costumes are a neat Idea, but chaning in and out, and using the costume abilites (especially the Jail Bird with the Ball...omg..) took way too long to keep the "tight" feel consistent. As "the first try" I definately enjoyed it, I can see a lot of potential. I just hoped it could flesh out the premise of the ancestors a little more, and though the levels looked nice, they were not nearly as memorable as in previous iterations. Also please put more effort in the Dialogue, it was severely cringe-worthy at times. Two bonus points: -Have the missions actually come together for the final mission as it has been in Sly 2 and 3, with the preparations leading to "the big one" -Why make Sly look so much more cartoony? He felt less like "sly" and more like from a kids show...
@Lucky Clover Productions I know but what I meant was, Sony isn't willing to make Sly 5. Sucker Punch and Sanzaru both don't want to continue the series and have moved on to other things. The only thing I can see happening now it the trilogy getting a reboot like Ratchet & Clank did on PS4.
Sly and Caramelita didn't even get to say goodbye ...
Yes
I know it’s sad

unfortunately thats not how the gaming industry works.

Dude I understad you, like they literally can't end the series like that...
What kind of ending is that? If you don't intend to do a sequel, don't end your game on a cliffhanger!
Yeah cliffhangers with no sequel to never know what will ever happen next is so damn annoying
At this point I am honestly assuming Sly is dead. Considering that so far there is no 5th game to tell me otherwise
Sony probably put sly on hold until the movie releases (whenever the hell that is) before they greenlight sly 5. But a tv series was announced

The cliffhanger was literally the worst thing that could've ever happened to me. I kept replaying all the games over and over and over again just so that I dont forget abt this absolute legend of a game
This game is highly unrealistic. Le pradox is French and he didn't give up immediately
That's racist
How realistic its a crime fighting gang the consits of a turtle hippo and a raccon who travels in time
Julian Soto Its a joke. Not a dick. Don't take it so hard
TheGameGuy302 so it becomes a joke when people call you out
le paradox is unrealistic because hes a french skunk and hes not falling in love with a black cat that got white paint down its back.
Shit ending, but I'm glad to know that sly is still alive. Long live the king of thieves.
I have to say, this was such a wonderful part of my childhood. I hope they make a new game but I can understand if they leave it so that Sly becomes the founder of the Cooper line by being the first Cooper in Egypt and spawning the rivalry with Clockwork.
That paradox would be a lil wild
But Sly wouldn’t be founder if the Cooper line. Bob would still be real founder since he lived during Ice Age.
@@NadiaM.E Ah, fair! I just mean in terms of the Clockwerk rivalry. My brain associates that with the actual Cooper line founding so my default start is the Egyptian Cooper though you're totally right on Bob being the first one.

My headcanon, since Sly 5 may never happen now:
Sly becomes Slytankhamen, making his striking resemblance make sense and creating a self-made loop of the signature cane design for generations and dropping hints as to his identity in the Thievius Raccoonus that Bently eventually finds. He takes on an adopted apprentice and "son", Slytankhamen II, leaving him directions to where the Cooper Vault must be created.
Note: This is NOT Sly's son, but his super great grandfather that he inspires to create the Cooper line and further create the Thievius Racoonus.
There could even be some story with Clockwork being a normal owl from the present/future being roboticized and ending with him being sent back to pre-ice age times by Sly. Just a way to make the Clockwork easter egg in Bob's time make sense and give an explanation as to why he hates the Cooper legacy. Maybe Penelope roboticized him... or maybe Clockwork IS Penelope and became Clockwork the same way Clock-la was made. Penelope does have a history of disguising as male, making Robots, had a serious grudge against Sly, and was hyped as a bad guy. Plus, unless she did research, she couldn't of known about Clockwork and would explain why "he" wanted to make a point about Sly being nothing without the book, not knowing about Clockwork's fate for doing so.
My brother we have faith after this leak!
@@jonathanvalverde5822 Which leak? :o
I honestly will never accept any theories of Clockwork and Penelope being one and the same. Not only would it be a rehash of Neyla, but it would throw away the mystique and individuality of Clockwerk's character by just making him another character introduced after him. I can buy Penelope building Clockwerk's robot body, but that's it.
Until Sly 5 comes out, I’m only considering this game to be a spin off of sorts. I feel comfortable leaving the story where it ended in 3, with them going separate ways with the book safe, names clean, and vault’s riches given away to close friends
We will never give up ✊
If only they made Sly a real Cartoon Show.
ArcadeTH
I would so watch that.
ArcadeTH I would binge watch that cartoon
Good news for you pal. Sly Cooper is getting it's own TV Show! I forgot when, but I believe it's this year!
Hylje Mestari source?
google is a pretty good source in my opnion
Le Paradox is stupid. He could just get back in time to the Night his Father wanted to steal the Diamond, and make it happen (stop Sly's father) :V
I agree, in fact, Sly practically told him that in 4:20 :)
The sly series is easily my favorite game I've ever played, I played them when I was young and I loved this one too, the entire series fits so perfectly every aspect about this game is simply amazing and I love very last part of this game relationships missions stories all of it.
Interesting game.
I feel like if the DLC for this game hadn't been cancelled, it was most likely going to be about Sly meeting his Egypt ancestor as it was the only one missing.
My theory on what the DLC story could have been: "Sly meets his Egypt ancestor (cant remember the name) and explains to him that he is another Cooper and was sent here from the future and needs his help going back. Egypt dude make some joke about his weird clothes and then replies that Sly is a god who came from the heaven since he does not understand what "time travel" is due to how advanced that is and that does not exist in his world. (Then Sly hear about this missing book that his Egypt ancestor had lost due to a bad guy in this era)
Basically the ending would be that Sly finds the Cooper legacy book after defeating the boss, which could be Clockwork but Sly can't be the one to do it since that would mess with the timeline if he defeated clockwork there and not in 1st/2nd game. Sly then gets the smart idea to write something in the Cooper legacy book which then cuts to show present time where Bentley alarm goes off as something has happend to the Cooper legacy book again. When Bentley opens the book to see what has changed and once he see the change, Bentley calls Murray (Mby Carmelita too) and tells him to quickly get over here as he knows where Sly is. The camera zooms into the book where it says like "I am in Egypt if you read this Bentley" or some famous sentence that Bentley will know is from Sly.
They prepare the time travel van and the machine picks up where that old writing comes from. They go back in time where Sly is, reunite with Sly and has a huge group hug and telling him how much they missed him, as they kinda thought he was lost for good.. When preparing to leave, his Egypt ancestor promise to watch over the book and keep it safe as he understands the meaning behind it, then says goodbye to Sly Cooper and his gang as they takeoff.
It ends with Sly Cooper (present time) deciding to confess his love for Carmelita and Carmelita confess her feelings to be mutual as she has missed him when he was gone. (Same with Sly) They either then decide to marry and settle down/retire or Carmelita joins the gang while that somehow sets up for Sly 5 aka a sequel to the series.
Credits roll with pictures of the crew being on vacation and looking all happy that it's all over now. "
(This took a lot of brain power to create, but i think this would have been one of the best way to finish the story of Sly Cooper and would possibly made Sony less against the idea of a new Sly Cooper game after that cliffhanger ending)
That’s actually good I wish we could go back in time to make sure the dlc was finished
Considering Le Paradox's time machine was broken and sent wherever Sly ended up, how did Le Paradox's gang, sans Toothpick, get back to the present? The only explanation I can think of was that Bentley and Murray donated their time machine to the police, but considering their reputations, I doubt they'd do that.
They sent the bad guys back to the present with their time machine, then they just dropped them off at the nearest police station they could find.
11 years now and we still didn’t find sly…
Wow you were here only 5 months ago. Well you might be one of the ones who played Ratchet & clank Rift Apart and seen that Sly seems good and well in his own dimension which comes out of the RYNO occasionally as a cameo, along with Jak and Daxter. I hope they both get a bigger role in the next game.
@ absolutely! Rift Apart was a great game! I always love it when Sly is mentioned like in Rift apart or Ghost of Tsushima or Astro bot. Shows that he is not forgotten and that we can hope for Sly 5!
I missed Dmitri though I wish we could hear him at least. He's got a kick ass theme song though
0:48 When I heard Le Paradox saying the name of Bentley "girlfriend" this is what I was like.
Me: Don't you DARE say her name you a-hole!!
You know, I've noticed something about this game. I don't believe Clockwerk was ever mentioned. Not even once. (Except maybe in a flashback from Sly leading up to this point) Or Neyla/Clock-La. Both were pretty big parts of Sly's past and character development, but Sanzaru didn't have it mentioned once.
Also, that thing with Penelope was bullshit. She should've been brainwashed or something. That made NO SENSE. Also, she appears quite tall, when, in Sly 3, she was only as tall as Bentley was in his wheelchair. I know you can still grow as an adult, but not that much that fast.
Another thing I've noticed is that everyone seems to believe Sly ended up in the past. It could be the future, you know. Time shenanigans (kudos to whoever gets that one) can go both ways, you know. No one seems to realize Bentley said timespace. He could also have ended up in an alternate universe.
To sum it up? I hope Sanzaru doesn't screw anything up in the next game, or I'll be upset. I mean, Sly 4 is amazing, despite a few drawbacks here and there, and I hope it stays that way for Sly 5 (if there is one). So far, all these new installments of the series have been amazing, as is the movie, so I hope it stays that way.
Clockwerk isn't mentioned but you can see him in each overworld. It looks like he is watching everything that is happening.
Tete tons Ah. I hadn't noticed before, so thanks for sharing that detail with me! And, thinking about it, they probably never mentioned him because they might accidentally let it slip that Clockwerk kills the Cooper ancestors.
Yeah most likely. I wonder if Clockwerk just let Paradox do this thing because he was trying to defame the cooper clan.
I think the Penelope thing makes perfect sense. She realized what the two greatest minds in the universe put together could accomplish and fell susceptible to the greed. The possibility of power and control. She is human after all. Well...a mouse, but you get the point.
But Bentley will have Sly's back to the very bitter end. The only stupid thing Penelope did was actually believe Bentley could be influenced like that - I mean, Dr. M tried convincing him of the same thing during Sly 3. And failed miserably
Great scott!
I loved playing this game, but the last boss was such a disappointment. Just a quick time event? Quick time events aren't fun anyway
Well they can be fun in games, just as a boss fight is disappointing.
Im guessing the next ancestor will be Slytunkhamen based off Sly finding himself in Ancient Egypt. Can't wait for Sly 5 tho!
Ali Vohra Still waiting...
still waiting
Still waiting
Still waiting
Still waiting
well if that doesn't say Sequel i don't know what does..
You mean prequel?
The Stevanator well in all honesty its probably going to be a prequel sequel just like this one was. a sequel presenting a story that in part or fully would be a prequel story line.
I know what you mean. I was just messing with you.
Wait according to Sly 2 and 3 Sly also had a parachute in his leg pack. Why did he not glide down!
SEQUEL PLEASE!!! BTW Tennessee was my favorite ancestor!
In my head I always felt that Penelope becomes Clockwork. It just makes sense. Her hatred for sly, access to time travel, and her tech smarts. Plus she’s a field mouse right? Hawks eat those.
He's an Owl
I want everyone here to mock TRAITOR Sanzaru (either Twitter or Facebook). Let's show them how angry we are!!! Make Sly 5!!!
RYNOking5ify Sly 4 sucked compared to 1, 2 and 3. I don't want Sanzuary Games to make Sly 5. I want Sucker Punch!
Petah Schwetah Sanzaru or Sucker Punch, it doesn't matter. Someone just save Sly!!
Uuuuh no it didn't? Get those nostalgia goggles off and look again. Sly 4 was the second best in the series =P
MunePin sly 4 was garbage
Petah Schwetah What crack are you smoking? Sly 3 fucking sucks
Penelope still loves Bentley. It’s just a complicated relationship.
I think this game was rather too short. I remember back to Sly 2 or 3 when the episodes were way longer than in this game. I hope the next one will be longer (obvious there will be a new one, since there will be a film in 2016 and this ending is rather a cliffhanger than a real ending to the series)
Zizinhon I dont speak spanish...
the translastion is the worst i've ever seen, but I think I get your point. Sly could give bentley a sign where he is by drawing the cooper symbol on a pyramide or something. Guess this would be an option for a start of a new game
it is possible that they may continue from the cliffhanger in the 2016 film.
Juniana Kravitz
I don't think so, if they do that anyone new to the franchise would be lost so ew can expect a game and the movie.
true, but its just a thought.
That was the times, after school turn on my PS3, and start playing Sly Cooper!...
Dont give up on sly cooper. Ps5 is here. We have time too hope for a sly cooper sequel. Time too start blowing up RUclips too get sony too make another sly.
I definitely aint gonna stop. Sly cooper is my childhood. I love the games.
will the 5th one be call Sly Cooper: When In Rome?
No , it will be called "Sly Coper : Master Of Thieves" , they announced it :)
***** thx for telling me :)
Caleb austin np :)
*****
that is just a rumor nothing has been announced
Someone said that it can be called " sly 5 master of thieves".
Sly basically becomes his ancestor and starts the cooper line . Besides the caveman it does make sense
Oye, a cliffhanger and no final game, please do Sly Cooper justice !!
This had so much potential for a 5th and final sequel wtf is wrong with the developers. On a side note. The final battle with Sly and Le Paradox goes perfect with the Arrow season 6 soundtrack “Final Showdown with Diaz” sans the dialogue from Sly and Le Paradox
Shame we never got Sly 5 Thief of Legends. Would have been amazing seeing Sly give birth to his family legacy
know I love fact she gone out her way to reform 12:39
shes probly out on parole by now
I heard they are not making a sly 5. After this huge cliff hanger :(. My prediction though would be another time travel game sort of, where sly meets the ancestors that were not shown in sly 4?
It's been 6 years and sadly it hasn't happened 😔
Thrives in time 2 should be the great finale: they can retake Clockwerks story. They could fight and finish him off somewhere before he kills Sly's family. Getting Sly's family reunited could be a great Drama for a game; having The cooper gang re-meet as adults with only Sly remembering how they met in the previous timeline in the orphanage. Idk, there's a lot that can be done
Besides, the material is there already: A non-robotic Clockwerk can be seen throughout the game in various location just watching you... The games mission could be about stoping him form becoming a robot so he's weak enough to be defeated.
I'd love to see that happen
What if Penelope steals the time machine and brings non-mech Clockwerk into the future, which fucks up the timeline, and Sly isn't affected because of his presence in ancient Egypt? Building off that, what if she got Clockwerk from before his vendetta against the Coopers started, and Sly has to work with him to stop whatever the hell is going on?
You’re forgetting a crucial detail, Sly met Bentley and Murray when he was sent to live at the orphanage after his parents were killed by Clockwork. If Sly were able to travel through time and stopped their deaths, then there would be a paradox causing Sly to never have met the guys and the regular timeline would have been reset where he would only be a solo thief. He might still end up with Carmelita, since she would still be after him.
Israel Rdz. Or, Sly ends up at the moment his father is about to be murdered, and has to choose whether to let his father die and be able to become a thief and stop other criminals’ schemes in the future, or prevent his death and let the villains from the previous games win. Completing the game with 100% has Sly choosing to let his father die so the events of the first 4 games occur as they are supposed to. Completing with below 100% makes Sly save his dad and return to the present to find a post-apocalyptic wasteland that was Paris.
Everyone still frustrated about how this game ended and people are still begging Sony for sly 5 since 2014 it’s been a decade sucker punch said no one is working on a sly cooper game
OMG MY FAVORITE COOPER, Slytunkhamen Cooper! He can go INVISIBLE!!!! Also, I thought that Rioichi used Two Dagger-like Canes at once, and was a lady. But oh well. Slytunkhamen!!!!!! It's really going to be him because it's in Egypt! And Slytunkhamen started the Cooper Clan in the 1300's! Sly said it himself! OMG NERDGASM
Here’s an interesting thought though: Obviously Sly lands in ancient Egypt. Let’s say no one had ever heard of Cooperkhamen though, not his family, his contacts, or his gang. Sly knew them, knew what styles and moves Cooperkhamen created, knew his heists, all of it. So he recreates the outfit of Cooperkhamen, builds the contacts and the gang, and convinces Cooperkhamen’s family to go along with it as his family. Sly then does every heist as the Thievius Raccoonus says Cooperkhamen does, all at the proper times, and even manages to leave hints at the newly created Book of the Cooper Clan about where he was. Maybe even changed something in history enough to cause a notable change in modern day world that Bentley would take notice. But all that leaves one question left: if Sly WAS Cooperkhamen, then where did Sly get his plans to do everything he did as the creator of the Cooper Clan? Use of the Bootstrap Paradox here, it’s a very interesting concept
4 Sly Cooper Games in 11 Years, but I agree with all the other Comments on here. Why end it on Cliffhanger, I think they owe it to the Fans to make 1 More Video Game to see what Happens or how he gets back home !!!
04:21
His body says: "Not true, I'm better than you!"
But his eyes say: "Shit, his right"
#animationdoneright
It shows when you have 100% trophies
its been 11 years....
it took them 8 years to make sly 4 so dont give up yet people
Hopefully. Also, hopefully, not sixteen years either
I think its kind of funny how people are theory crafting about what could happen but nobody stopped to consider this. What is Sly started AND ended the Cooper line as far as the thevious raccoonus goes. In a similar manner to Jak and Mar (at least I think its Mar its been years since I played those games). In the first game the cutscene after beating Ms. Ruby spoke about a cooper who used an invisibility technique, that being said wouldn't one of the most important things to pass on be the invisibility as it allows someone to hide in plain sight while thieving. It would also explain a little bit about clockwerk as he would be facing the most experienced Cooper in history, and therefore would be extremely likely to lose that encounter and the other especially considering all the additional experience Sly has fighting him in particular. In the cooper vault there is also some small evidence that could possibly support my theory. The very first area is an area from ancient egypt. Sly would have a knowledge of the island and where the vault would eventually be placed, so he would probably end up starting it and then passing along the legend. This theory also allows for a few reasons why the coopers were the best thieves in history. They would already have knowledge that was handed down from generation to generation from Sly. Yeah.... thats it rant over.... too tired to think of anything else.
Except this game shows he only went back to Ancient Egypt and it's been made clear the Cooper line goes as far as prehistoric times....
its clear that ancient times were its origins nothing says that they survived.
djoshman14 Except Sly clearly said his prehistoric ancestor PIONEERED the use of the Canes.
perhaps but its similar to inventing the wheel. it was an original idea that became so popular it was impossible to tell when and where it originated from
djoshman14 Except this game has made clear you started the use of the Cane and the Copper line.
4:48 love that throw back to old bird head from Sly 3
I’m here after they have leaked that sly 5 is in development! And man let me tell you… it’s about damn time
Next year Thieves in time will be 10 years old. What the hell. Hopefully suckerpunch comes back to make sly 5.
Sly wakes up like "Dammit, I'm in Egypt. This is bullshit...".
If the gang really wanted to find out what happened to Sly, they simply should have started looking for Penelope first, since Le Paradox mentioned that she built that time tunnel.
yeh, but fuck penelope what a bitch lol
saboteur Q what in the world happened to and with her? I mean did all the stuff in honor among thieves never happen?
Le Paradox could have used his Skunk Superpowers on Sly ;-;
I really love Sly Cooper and I really hope we get a 5th game somewhere in the future.
If some times in the nearest future, they get around to making a Sly Cooper 5, then we’d like to see Clockwerk again, seeing how Sly is stuck in the past, when the owl is still alive.
Sleitenkaumen (I know that's spelled wrong) the ancestor from Mz. Ruby's section of the Thevius Raccoonus
Including time travel ruins the plot of many stories, including Sly's. So many things make little sense when you get the core of it.
When Le Paradox explained his reason, it reminded me of Clockwerk; He wanted to prove a point to which without the Thievious Raccoonus, the Cooper Clan is nothing and Le Paradox wanted to prove that the Cooper Clan was nothing without their Canes... Guess it's not surprising when both villains are arch-enemies of the Cooper Clan.
You know, I've been wondering at 3:00 if Carmelita meant to say "I'm sorry" or "I love you". Hopefully we'll find out one day.
William McGinn maybe "I love you" cause sly said "me too"
This is my favorite game series
First mega man legend and now sly cooper.
So the question here is.... Did he land in current time Egypt or ancient Egypt?
ancient Egypt because Bentley said there were no signs of sly and blimp. And he was using his technology to find sly every places.
saad mirza But didn't they show Carmellita searching the wreck of the blimp? It was near the bridge in the water. Did it, like, break in half or something?
newcollector check the secret ending. Only few parts of blimp were there.
saad mirza But there was no time portal in front of the blimp where Sly was standing. I know that there was an unstable one going on inside of it, but that one had no pre-set destination.
newcollector
it randomly sent him to Egypt otherwise he would be gone to anywhere. One Interesting thing to note that Sanzaru really wanted Egypt world in thieves in time but couldn't in final game. They gave us hint that if they will make Sly 5, Egypt world would be one of them.
there is 2 options here:
1. no sly 5 coming
2. it comes but is made by some really stupid game developer company that fucks everything up.
WHAT THE CRAP KINDA ENDING IS THAT?! D:
I KNOW RIGHT
2018 WHERE IS SLY 5
the sly cooper franchise cannot end without 2 things:
1. We see Sly's dad
2. Sly has a kid(possibly starting a new series)
This man in Egypt dear lord
It’s been 8 goddamn years and still no sequel. At this point I don’t even consider this game canon. Play the first 3, they’re the best. I don’t care how playable this game is, fuck this ending and fuck Sanzaru and Sony for not intending to do a sequel. I’m never forgiving them for this
2023: Still nothing??? Goddamnit Sony
2024: Despite the PS2 re-release of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus on the PS4 and PS5 on June 11, 2024, it has now been 11 years since Thieves of Time was released, and there's still no news of a sequel yet to be announced.
Sanzaru games stated that they can't leave sly in ancient Egypt, which personally leads me to believe that a sly 5 will happen soon, I have faith that Sanzaru will give us sly 5 in the future, we just need to be patient for a while longer
4 years later
@@Reconquistador2008 this aged like milk out of the fridge
@@christianbarragan3994 Truly. A sequel ain't ever coming
If there is a sly 5
Hopefully it’s like sly 4 but all your ancestors battle clockwerk
3:01 What's wrong with Carmelita's eyes lol. Derp.
So sly cooper joined the hidden ones and became Bayek of siwa's side kick lol
Yeah exactly !
Bayek's second Animal
Senu, Sly. Be my Eyes!😂
Please! I hope sucker punch secret project is Sly 5
Sadly Sanzaru games confirmed they have no current plans on making sly cooper 5.
Maybe they are waiting to the release of the movie so they can make a game which can promote it and be promoted by the movie.
don't worry they will make a sly 5 game also you remember we had to wait 8 years for the sly 4 i think we can wait more
xaris kalaitsev Sly 2 was released 2002 - sly 2 was released 2004 - sly 3 was released 2006.. this was released in 2012 wich makes it 6 years
I never got to play the first or fourth game yet.
I plan to someday but the fact that they are going to leave the Sly series on a cliffhanger makes me angry.
Suckerpunch should make the fifth game, though sly 3 was KINDOF left on a cliffhanger, it didn't REALLY need a sequel.
+Milk Me Daddy I got feeling it come out next year. cause movie coming
So Penelope is still in love with Bentley. She just wants him to have more attention for her rather than always on their work.
Imagine Sly 5 on the PS5 😭
OOH! I GET IT! Maybe this sly managed to move from this Egypt to the museum in sly 2 and there he sees sly from sly 2 causing 2 Sly's to be present and altering time idk its just a theory... A Game Theory!
LOL
Cooper smacking paradoxes head and paradox nearly dying, i think this should be T.
Tennessee is so handsome♥
I realized one thing why don't they go back in time and see what happen to sly much earlier?
😂. 😮.
Sighs We'll never see another Sly Cooper game again after this Game...
Somebody needs to sue them for ending the game like that😡
When he wakes up Sly: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cr-ap
Wow, sly games is many many years old and they are stil awesome! XD
Cool looking Skunk villian.
They need to make a game. Its been 6 years but in between the 3 and 4 it was 8 years. I still have hope
I have hope too
Now it's been a decade, do you still have hope?
So basically we're never gonna find out what's gonna happen next you're just gonna leave it a cliffhanger sly cooper come on
I hope they will re-release the last 4 games to ps4 and ps5 while let's hope that the rumour about the fifth game will be true
I did enjoy this game, though not as much as the previous instalments. There were three things that really bugged me:
- Time Travel always opens up all sorts of cans of worms, though I DO love the Idea of playing as the Ancestors, here is how I would have done it:
Sly is "out of the business" for a long time, but for he and his crew have to pull off one of their greatest heists yet, so to brush up on his skill he reads the Thievius Racoonus, and then the game cuts to the ancestors in their respective greatest heist (with their sidecharacters and arcs). Also though I understand from the design perspective why they did this: many of the ancestors just felt like "skin swaps" of Sly. The exception being "bob" (...wtf actually? not that I would have liked to play the prehistoric thief, but he and his cain look nothing like represented in Sly 3, as do most...) and maybe the shooting of Tenesse. This way we could avoid the time travel nonsense, and have more fleshed out ancestor characters.
- Penelopé...after the twist, I just had to think of bentley guiding her blinded ass through the pirate level, the way she looked and "felt" as a character. It is so out of character and just feels like random shock element actually.
- The feel of the game. I can best describe it as "sluggish" or "wobbly". The worst offender is Murray, the timing after which he can jump after punching (or "punch cancelling") is so slow, that it actually got me killed in the Ice Boss fight. Murray felt soo wrong, and I never particularly enjoyed playing as him anyway. The costumes are a neat Idea, but chaning in and out, and using the costume abilites (especially the Jail Bird with the Ball...omg..) took way too long to keep the "tight" feel consistent.
As "the first try" I definately enjoyed it, I can see a lot of potential. I just hoped it could flesh out the premise of the ancestors a little more, and though the levels looked nice, they were not nearly as memorable as in previous iterations. Also please put more effort in the Dialogue, it was severely cringe-worthy at times.
Two bonus points:
-Have the missions actually come together for the final mission as it has been in Sly 2 and 3, with the preparations leading to "the big one"
-Why make Sly look so much more cartoony? He felt less like "sly" and more like from a kids show...
Real
I guess Sly truly is gone :(
@Lucky Clover Productions I know but what I meant was, Sony isn't willing to make Sly 5. Sucker Punch and Sanzaru both don't want to continue the series and have moved on to other things. The only thing I can see happening now it the trilogy getting a reboot like Ratchet & Clank did on PS4.
