01:22Oh, this is going to hurt.
01:25These sort of set-piece boss battles
01:28which are just going to incorporate everything
01:29that you've learned and acquired
01:31in the episode, building up to it.
01:33So it was a challenging game.
01:35I mean, no doubt.
01:36I mean, would you say that Sly 4
01:38is going to have that level of challenge?
01:40Yeah, yeah.
01:41That's good.
01:42You've got to bring your egg in.
01:43Good, good.
01:43That's very interesting.
01:44Because I love that it looks kid-friendly
01:47and of course it is a family-friendly game
01:49but there's something for the hardcore.
01:51Yeah, it's for everybody.
01:53Tell us more.
01:54What are we looking at here?
01:56So this is El Jefe.
01:58He is an egomaniacal tin-pot dictator.
02:01He's built this thousand-foot statue of himself.
02:05Little ego issues, you know?
02:07And so Sly has chased him all the way to the top
02:10and he's finally able to confront him.
02:12And something else that we really wanted to go with
02:14in the boss battles is just level destruction.
02:16We're just going to blow the snot out of the place, you know?
02:19By the time they're done
02:20there'll be just a couple of little burnt toothpicks
02:21at the bottom, you know?
02:22It's just giving that epic kind of feel.
02:25And now you'll see how the gameplay expands.
02:29That's sort of pattern-oriented.
02:31It's not limited by the combat moves.
02:33It's just all kinds of crazy stuff you can do.
02:36Really got to bring the A-game here.
02:38So let's talk about Thieves in Time.
02:43What's the upgrade system?
02:48What can you talk about at this point?
02:50Because I know there's outfits that we see Sly changing into.
02:54Yeah, every episode.
02:55Yeah, what are we seeing right there?
02:57So here you've collected a suit of armor.
02:59Now, in the original games, you know, costumes were disguises.
03:01But in Thieves in Time, all these costumes will have an innate special ability.
03:07So this suit of armor is not only impervious to fire,
03:11but it also comes with this really cool shield
03:13that allows Sly to deflect the incoming fireball.
03:17So you can see him using it right here.
03:19Yeah, sort of like a samurai type of outfit.
03:23Yeah.
03:23Very cool.
03:25And yeah, so the cool thing about the costumes
03:28is you can then go back to previous episodes with the costume on.
03:32And then you can explore areas that you couldn't get to before
03:35because you can use the costume ability.
03:36Is there going to be a lot of collection?
03:38Because, I mean, that's part of the fun.
03:40I would say, you know, there's the action, there's the platforming,
03:43and there's collection.
03:44It's a huge part of the Sly universe.
03:45Yeah, yeah.
03:46And the clue bottles are going to be back.
03:48You're going to be hunting around for all kinds of stuff in the levels.
03:51A lot of going back and forth and revisiting things.
03:53and uncovering new things.
03:55So, yeah, really, you know, like evolve the game, you know?
04:00Like just kind of, it would just seem like a natural progression
04:02as you played Sly collection and then moving into Thieves in Time.
04:07I really love how you're able, you're stalling now, aren't you?
04:10Because the longer we talk, the longer you have to stay alive.
04:13I'm going 10 more minutes.
04:14I don't care.
04:15All right, so, all right, we have a good cinematic.
04:19Well, when you beat him, I'll stop talking for a small amount of time.
04:22So, Sucker Punch, they created Sly, one, two, three.
04:28What's it like taking over the reins, and are you working with them at all?
04:32They are awesome.
04:33I mean, we got to work on the collection, and, you know, got to work closely with them,
04:37you know, looking at their code base.
04:39and, I mean, their kung fu is very, very strong.
04:42They are an amazing developer.
04:44And, you know, it's just been an honor to work on the series.
04:48It was super presumptuous of us to kind of put this out there.
04:52We're like, and they've been really cool.
04:55And, yeah, and we're just, we're just, like, super excited.
04:59It's just such an honor.
05:00All right, here's that cut scene that was being referred to.
05:05Oh, yeah, we're going to see a little bit more level destruction here.
05:08Taking the place apart.
05:09So, where in the game is this?
05:10Is this towards the beginning, or...?
05:12Um, it's, uh, towards the middle.
05:15Yep.
05:16Um, not, uh, not the beginning, not the end.
05:19It's, uh, yeah, somewhere between the two.
05:21It, uh, it's definitely epic, and that's what, you know, I love about the Sly series.
05:25The boss battles are really tough, and it's not going to be likely the first time you face them.
05:31But there's a, it's, it's old-school gameplay where it's satisfying when you finally do succeed.
05:35Yeah, yeah, good balance, you know, challenge.
05:38So, this is new to me.
05:39I, I, I don't recall seeing that recently.
05:42Which one?
05:42There's, uh, the radar.
05:44So, let's talk about that.
05:45Ah, yeah, well, so, something that, uh, you know, the levels are bigger.
05:49And, uh, there's more to explore.
05:51And, um, we really needed to come up with, uh, some slightly, uh, newer pieces of interface
05:57that would allow you to, to really see where you're going.
06:01And, uh, and so, something that you're kind of seeing there a little bit is, uh, some new
06:05methods to, uh, help you get to where you need to be.
06:08Um, yeah, you, you, you got a lot more space, you know, to hunt around in, to explore, to,
06:14So, I know the community has been crazy.
06:16There, I, I was going to say, how come you didn't tease this at all?
06:19But I think, uh, uh, maybe, you know.
06:21I have no idea.
06:22I have no idea what we're talking about here.
06:24If, if you, if you play the Sly Collection all the way through, or if you happen to pass
06:27by a movie theater in, uh, Infamous 2, you might have had an idea that this game is coming.
06:32But the community, uh, why don't we bring them in?
06:34Do you have any, uh, questions off the Twitter?
06:36Why, I do.
06:37Uh, this is a big Schumann.
06:39Why, hello there.
06:40Cheers.
06:40Good to meet you.
06:41Uh, Lucas Bullock has a good one here.
06:43He's been watching the live stream, and he wants to know whether it's possible to play
06:46the entire game without using any of the extra costumes.
06:50No.
06:51The costumes are, uh, are pretty, uh, are pretty instrumental in, uh, in the game.
06:57That's a hardcore type of question right there.
06:59Did you, did you have another one?
07:00I do, and actually from the same guy, Lucas Bullock.
07:03He must be a big Sly fan.
07:04He wants to know if we're going to see characters from any previous Sly games.
07:07So just Penelope or Panda King.
07:10Um, well, there's, uh, you know, it's not coming out until 2012, so we've got a little
07:15bit of time.
07:16Well, we've already seen Bentley, or heard Bentley.
07:18Yep.
07:19Uh, definitely Sly, uh, Bentley and Murray are going to be playable.
07:22There's going to be some, some other characters, and yeah, we're going to be definitely, stay
07:27tuned.
07:28We're definitely going to be talking about.
07:29Shame on you for even asking that.
07:32All right, so let's, uh, continue here.
07:34We're, we're seeing some of the classic platforming from Sly.
07:36Hi, um, I think he's, uh, he's kind of, uh, he's kind of stolen here.
07:41He's kind of, uh, uh, is this as far as you want to go?
07:44Yeah.
07:44This is as far as it shoots.
07:46Okay, well, there's some secret stuff.
07:50So, okay, well, I thank you very much, Glenn, for taking time to show us Sly for Sly, I'm
07:55sorry, Thieves in Time.
07:56Sly Cooper, Thieves in Time.
07:58And, uh, 2012, like you said.
08:00It's good to see, as a Sly fan, that with you guys, the series appears to be in great
08:04hands.
08:06You're right next door.
08:07Come on down any time.
08:08This is true.
08:09They're, they're, they work right down the block, and I'm going to have to take you up
08:11on that.
08:11Thanks very much.
08:13You're right next door.
