Lots of sweet with only a little sour
First reaction to Sly Cooper making an appearance at Gamescom 2012: THANK THE GOOD LORD. Sly Cooper (and all of the classic PS platformers) was the reason I fell in love with not only the genre, but video games in general. And I'm very certain I'm not the only one who would say that. Sly is back in all of his cell shaded goodness, and he's trying to save his family's history from disappearing forever.
Before all of the good, one area of concern: why do games feel it's necessary to include multiple playable characters now? Back in the good ole days of Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, OG Sly Cooper, we played as our one protagonist and that was good enough because the game itself kept us interested. Are people's attention span that short now? I hope that the other characters are done well, and it seems like they will have their own strengths at the very least.
Now onto the wins: it is about time we got another good PS3 platformer (I'm just assuming this game is going to be good. It's more of a hope than anything) and one that shows off how good cell shading looks on the Playstation system. Along with that, the PS Vita cross platform integration looks like it actually will add to the experience, which is always a positive. While I've always liked that you can just pick up your Vita and pick up from where you left off on your PS3, now you can use the Vita to find hidden treasures around Sly's world. And me likey hidden treasures.
