The most shocking thing for me is that Ubisoft actually did something good. And useful. However, this is me speaking as a 34 year old who knows what they become. Time is weird on corporations like that. I actually think Ape Escape will be dusted off eventually. Nothing nowadays stays dead forever. And Sony has a big backlog of IP's to draw from should they need to rotate their stock. If this happens, I'll be excited, but terrified if they don't assign someone to it that understands why AE 1-3 worked. Regardless, even if I'm wrong. Emulators exist for a reason. So I can play the games to my heart's content.
I was the biggest ps fan until the middle of ps4 era when they killed japan studios and move over to california. I dont like the new playstation and they dont like me either. But At least Nintendo is still great (Zelda, Metroid, Mario, no woke stuff) and playstation can still make some good games from time to time like god of war ragnarok or Ratchet and clank rift appart, but they are few and far between. I still think playstation can recover but it will need at least two generations of console cycles.
Massive layouts hit PlayStation's studios in February, including the closing of London Studio. Reports indicate that Media Molecule was also almost closed. PlayStation is in a terrible place right now which is ridiculous considering how well the PS5 is selling. I've said this before in a previous video, but I'll say it again - I think that's largely to do with Jim Ryan and his big AAA, liveservice strategy, and I think closing smaller studios like London and Media Molecule only makes the problem worse. I don't know if PlayStation will ever be what it once was.
Man i was really excited to listen to this video until you got an easy fact wrong. Ubisoft published Ape Escspe 2 in America while Sony published it in Europe. Ubisoft redubbed the entire game with American accents before they released it here. Good video and editing style but please do a little more research before finishing the video.
The first sly game is good but is more like a crash bandiccot clone, linear stages in a path, the lucky charm are like aku aku, just give you extra hit points. At least for me sly is a better crash game than the wrath of cortex (first ps2 crash game) Its in sly 2 when the cooper gang gain its own identity that separate from others platformers. And sly 4 is underrated, its not perfect but its not lost frontier and was created with heart and passion.
Sly Cooper is easily my favorite series. Sure it doesn't have as much action as something like Sonic but The Cooper Gang (Carmelita included) are my favorite characters ever. I would definitely love to see it return some day. Also I think Sly 4 had the best voice for Carmelita.
Yeah, what really makes Sly Cooper so special are these characters. I can't think of another platformer series that has such incredible depth of characters and plot.
@@LeftattheStation Also a fun fact, while PlayStation Move Heroes is a terrible game, I'm thankful for it's existence because that was actually my introduction to Sly Cooper.
I am currently playing Sly 3 for the first time and it is amazing. Sly 2 and 3 would of been the pinnacle of gaming when they released on the PS2. I did hear about Sly 4 ending on a cliff hanger and goddam, I would be so rock hard if Sly 5 comes on PS5
I was introduced to Toro through him being 1 of the 5 PS3/ Vita exclusive guest characters for the short-lived Street Fighter x Tekken game. He was implemented as a tiny version of Ryu from Street Fighter. Then, PS All Stars Battle Royale announced him as a play able character in that game. That was all the times I've heard of the character.
The Sly games are not only my favorite video games, but some of my favorite entertainment media of all time. Sly and the gang mean so much to me, and I’m glad there’s others out there who still cherish this series. Still holding on to hope for Sly 5, maybe one day…
The second and third game couldn’t stand up to sly 1 I recently played through the trilogy once again but it honesty it’s just a slow decline from the first one. The quality and fun was really high so from going from 100 to an 70 isn’t terrible in my opinion That’s my opinion on the games
While I do love the first game, 2 is my favorite. I love the bigger world and more diverse gameplay. But I do agree 3 and 4 aren't as good as the first two, and that contributed to the series being abandoned.
I always find it fascinating when sly starts out as a platformer but Evolves into A stealth beat him up and puzzle Solver platformer it Truly is one of a kind and we'll probably never get it again Its probably for the best I wouldn't want this game to get Ratchet and Clank Rift apart treatment
Sly Cooper is my favorite 3D platformer series of all time, and one of my favorites in general. I loved this games as a kid and going back and playing them for this video was a blast. What about you? Are you a fan of Sly Cooper, and if so, which is your favorite game in the series?
Trap Gunner. It still boggles me how that game didn't take off. It's like a mix of a better bomberman and some overhead shooter arena, but a fighting game. It never gets old. Always fun to play with others every time i come back and play it.
i love this video man! i absolutely love toro inoue with all my heart but it sucks theres not a lot of content about him on yt and other websites 😭your video was fun to watch! stay safe
Sony is too reliant on console sales. If only a fraction of console users are buying your games, console sales mean nothing. Xbox figured this out last gen. 2 million ratchet and clank sales vs a 50 million install base is embarrassing.
Also their pc ports have been sellin worst and worst. Rift Apart only sold in the 200k range and failed to reach the 800k sales they were expecting. Tlou1 returnal miles morales sackboy uncharted all flopped as well
Also they wont be putting their games in ps plus after 6 months or a year. They have data that shows that putting Hfw in ps plus after a year hurt its second year retail sales.
The truth is the truth and you have spoken the truth… Plain and simple, and this is coming from a guy (me) who enjoys the best of both worlds (XBOX & PlayStation). Happy Gaming Everyone 😎.
I’m not too concerned about new games because I just bought my first PS 5 and I have many great games I bought on sale that everyone else has already played. I’m good for about two years so I’ll be ready for GTA 6. Oh yea!
"Game Pass continues to grow" so just like what you said about PS+ numbers why haven't Microsoft updated Game pass numbers? Oh yeah because of stagnation just drop offs like the Xbox console. Btw Microsoft will start putting games like HFR and sea of thieves relatively soon.
Great video learned alot from it No Offense but i looked up most of your points to see if they're accurate and unfortunately for us PS fans your right i dont think i realized so much of the Sony Budget was spent on Live service MP games
Jim Ryan put PlayStation in a stun lock, but they have so much momentum it may not matter. But it’s gonna be a rough next couple of years for players first party games.
