Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

[TheForeignGamer]

Didn't see a thread for this, so I decided to make one (assuming some people here are actually fans of Sly Cooper). I won't be able to play this, but I loved the first three games on PS2.

Anyone know anything else about this game other than that vague trailer that was released months ago?

It's a pretty safe bet that we'll see more at E3, especially now that it's coming to both PS3 and Vita.

Speaking of which, "Transfarring" (as Kojima calls it) is a neat idea, but as long as they expect us to buy the same game twice it will never catch on.

Transfarring? What is that? Lol

When you have a console version and handheld version of the same game and you use the same save data between the two.

Like, if you're playing a game at home on your PS3 and then you copy your save over to your Vita and continue playing it on the go. There's a couple of games that support this, but it requires you to own both the PS3 and the Vita versions of the same game.

Sony just calls it "PS3/Vita Connectivity" or whatever, but Hideo Kojima coined the term "transfarring"

That's really cloud saves without having a cloud.
As Steam does it for a lot of games, so you can pick up your saves on any computer. While that's also on PS3, it's a Plus feature, so I suppose it's different, but it still begs the question of why you'd buy two copies of the game...

Ah, okay. Well, yeah, that doesn't really seem all that useful. I might be a game collector of sorts, but I don't buy multiple copies of the same game. There's just no point.

Exactly. It would be awesome if you bought the game on PS3 and got a free digital copy of the Vita game. But very few people are going to want to buy the game twice just to take advantage of this.

Didn't see a thread for this (...)

The only one we have is this one, it'd be the go-to topic if it had been updated by the TC:

I saw that thread, but it wasn't really a topic about the game. It was about the trailer.

/haven't read the whole thread, so if ignorance is abound, then please forgive me.

[Hero]

that thread is old as shit. we might as well just make this one the official thread.

[TheForeignGamer]

It's kinda why I made the thread.

Should I even bother asking why you think this way?

No, you shouldn't, don't waste your time.
