Definitely a series that should be in everyone’s Vita Collection. Just a shame we didn’t get a new game on the PS4.
Reason why thieves in time was ok game. It was not made by Sucker punch. So the platform and story isn't the same. There more mechanic though
It's been a while since you've done one of these reviews wow I'm on the topic of reviews you should start doing best games to remote play
@@SuperJumpReviews yes I no you already did Resident Evil 2 so like a top 10 list of best games to remote play would be a cool video to see
Nice back with the classic reviews just like old times
haha, yeah, I figured why not🙂Thanks for sticking around all this time👍
Hey man nice to see you back with reviews again, I missed those!
Hey James! Yeah, they don't do as well as my top 10's videos but I miss making them. I guess I just gotta take a hit sometimes ya know?
These were some of my favorite games of all time as a kid, they play fantastic on the Vita! I have a modded Vita and have the framerates unlocked and running at 60fps which is a really nice experience. The mission set up for each game always worked amazing on a handheld device for quick gameplay
Completely agree. It is such a great series. I wish I had played it sooner when it was on PS2.
How’d you unlock the frame rates? I’ve modded my vita as well, and I can’t really see how to do it, or what option to select.
I should've bought it for 5.99 on the psn store when I had the chance.
I always bought every Sony exclusives on Vita knowing thag you can get it on the PS3 for free or vice-versa! I just waited for good sales like Christmas.
@@SuperJumpReviews
If you have a PS3 you can buy the collection for $14.99. I suggest everyone buy a PS3 (preferably backwards compatible) to atleast download games only available on PS3- PSN. Trust me its worth it.
Bought this game physically on the day it released on the PS Vita. I missed the whole series on the PS2... I first played Thieves in Time then these three games. I enjoyed it so much that I have 1's and 2's Platinum as well.
Yeah, they really are amazing games. I missed them on the PS2 as well and regret it. Wish I had played them sooner. But better late than never right? I still amazed at how well they hold up today. Kudos to great game design.
Damn Idk how you didn’t mentioned the pirate treasure hunting and taking control of a pirate ship as part of Sly 3. That was a great addition!
The Sly Collection is the sole reason why the PS Vita is my favorite handheld ever. I grew up with all three of these games for the PS2, spending countless hours playing them. The fact that now I can play all three of them in handheld form is mind blowing. In fact, I think it is the only platform where you can play all 4 of the Sly games on the go. Plus, the ability to overclock the Vita and play the games at 60fps makes it more surreal of an experience for me. That beautiful OLED screen also helps as well. Great review as always.
One of my killer app for the PlayStation Vita, the hours i spent on this trilogy on ps2, now it's the turn of thieves in time, another Jewel
@@SuperJumpReviews the third chapter, the one that introduced me to this franchise and one of the first game that I bought with the first money I've earned working part time
Bought this game yesterday, thanks for the suggestion! Now, I bought Thieves in Time too, and just wanted to share a crazy fact about the european release of the latter: there are 5 multi-language european versions of it! I think it is a good point for collectors out there, because not all of them include English! There is an scandinavian release, a "English Channel" version with English, French and Dutch, a Germany/Switzerland/Austria release in French, German and Italian, a slavic version with Polish, Russian, Czech and Turkish (?) and an Iberian version with English, Spanish, Portuguese and Greek (?). Therefore, be aware when shopping online for this game, you might get a version you will not be able to undersatnd!
Thanks for the info! I had no idea this game was released in so many different languages haha.
This is all we have of sly cooper.dont criticise it jst enjoy it.
@@anargpap1435 i dont believe theres a fifth. i recall 1, sly 2, sly 3 and thieves in time(4th)
Wow, you really do a great job with this videos reviews and plus is a about Psvita! Awesome man!! Thks for the Psvita support
Thanks for this! Us hardcore Sly fans appreciate it. What did you think of the pirate ship sailing/battles in Sly 3?
So much nostalgia with this game on the vita. Brings back the good times!
I didn't realize how amazing these games are. Wish I wouldn't played them sooner on the ps2 back in the day.
Still wish sly3 digital would've been active for new copys. Still saw on Amazon that the new reviews most customers still have an issue that the code will still expire in 2016.
Someone else in the comments said if you call Sony customer support they'll give you a new code for Sly 3 if the one you have expired.
@@SuperJumpReviews how, cause I really want to fix this problem. The code I have did expired in 2016...
@@sirenix-doll You probably have to call Sony customer support, explain to them your issue. You might need the original receipt from when you bought sly collection as well so they know you actually bought a brand new copy.
First of all, thanks for showing vita some love 💘 in 2020. I own all slys on vita and I must say, its one of my TOOOP favorite platformers. SUCH a classic and great series man!!
It's one of my favorite games too now! I like it better than Jak and Daxter even.
@@SuperJumpReviews oooooh might tick off the jak & Daxter fanbots lol just kidding. I've yet to play jak & daxter myself which is crazy because I'm from the old school and those games where revered here in the states back then.
Keep up the good work 👏
Just bought Sly 3 thanks to your review and loving it
@@SuperJumpReviews Just the 3rd game on psn. From your review it seemed just slightly better than the first two, thanks!
Glad to see you back at it again man!
Quick question, could you review Silent Hill Book of Memories?
ahhh I can't. I don't have that game. Maybe if I can find it for a good deal.
I was playing Sly 4 on the PSVita not long ago, might play the trilogy on it soon, I do have it them all installed on a PS3 too
@@SuperJumpReviews Yeah I did but it's the same as the original trilogy, prefer the old ones, probably cause they switched devs, think another company developed Sly 4
Does the PS3 version of the collection contain the third game on disc? I'm thinking of buying it.
I just received the physical game today! I didn't know about the third game not being included beforehand, so that's kind of a bummer.
I played for an hour and already died a bunch. It's really challenging. Also I'm pretty bad at platforming games. The short platforming sections in the Soulsborne games often make more sense to me than actual full blown platformers :P
This type of games make the ps2 great when i was back on Seattle. And now playing it on go. Just nice
Great ps vita content. I'd see if I can get a copy. Most of my vita games I buy comes from what you reccomend.
Never played a sly game before.
@@SuperJumpReviews Hello could you please send me link on that trilogy at ps store? I cant find it. :(
I seen your comment about Sony giving out new codes...I tried to contact them by phone and live chat on my pc and they wouldn’t take any requests...I bought a physical copy of borderlands 2 and the code for the dlc is also expired on it...wanted to see if they would give me a new code
I haven't really tried it myself but that's just what everyone always tells me. I wouldn't even know why Sony would still have new codes of sly 3 to begin with.
Hey Andrew, can you please review the Ratchet & Clank Collection for PlayStation Vita? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Either this on Vita or Ghost of Tsushima will be my first sucker punch game in 2021, I can't wait to try either of them!
I glad that you finally do that review of powerful PlayStation 2 game..... For me this is game only PlayStation 2 memory
Awesome video mate. Are all these sly games still available to buy on the PSN store currently?
I'm not sure, it's been a while since I tried searching for these games. Give it a shot.
@@SuperJumpReviews will do man! I literally just ordered a vita today to play this so when it arrives I’ll check, I’m pretty certain they’ll still be on there I hope haha
I have this and I love it. I only hate that the physical version has an expired code for Sly 3.
I know, that's one thing I hate about the 3rd game. Download code haha.
Hey dude I just had a quick question. If u buy the sly collection digitally, will you get sly 3? I only ask coz I wanted to get the physical version but the voucher expired. Like you said
Don't quote me on this cause it has been a while but I think you do get sly 3 if you buy it digitally. Good luck👍
Can you review silent hill book of memories. Love your reviews and they have a influence on my purchases.
I to have experienced static with the psvita on sly 3 i was dissapointed it was like that but its still amazing that I can play sly 3 on the go
I really love this series!!!!! It's one of the best series I actually loved
Don't tell anyone but I think it's better than the Jak & Daxter series🙂
You forgot ( I assume intentionally) to mention the cut scenes ....I have heard that some folks have made a patch for HD cutsceens taken directly from the PS3 (for hacked vita's) . The same goes for Injustice , they have made a patch for injustice for the vita and added PS3 hd cutsceens for the story mode , sounds nice :) I assume the developers didn't just so that they can make the games fit on the vita cartridge
ahhhhh, actually, I was going to talk it but then completely forgot as I felt it wasn't even worth mentioning but I'll talk about it here. Cutscenes involving character art weren't too bad. They looked good overall even if there were some slight pixelation around the edges but I was surprised how well they turned out. Full Motion cutscenes however didn't look as good, a little grainy for my taste but luckily there aren't that many of them.
@@SuperJumpReviews that's what I was talking about. They did the same with the God of war collection on the vita , the cutsceens are from the PS2 games , and was made for square shaped TV
By the way , nice video , as always :) And apart from the cutsceens , I love those games . I never finished the 3rd one , but I will at some point , in my personal top 5 of open world vita games this collection is in 3rd place :)
@@GSPsvita what's your list??
Because I love every open world games on vita and tell me to see if I miss one of them
I heard that if you buy a new copy and the code doesn't work, you can email sony and they'll ask for a receipt of the game. Give them one and after a while, they'll get you a new code. I hope this works when I get it. Great video
#3 was also in 3D
That happen to me before!!! The code have expired and now I own 2 copy of the sly Cooper collection!!!
@@SuperJumpReviews yep...don't like to spend money...to just play sly 3. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get a new code so my sister psvita can get sly 3. She have the game case and I don't want to buy another one
In sly 1 you can take up to 2 hits if you get 2 horseshoes and get the gold horse shoe.
Great video but wish u would’ve have mentioned that it plays 30fps on the vita and 60fps on ps3 tho but still I agree with u on thieves and time I love that game
I downloaded the sly colection (1&2) and played the first one like 15 and it dindt got me, maybe because I cant skip the cinematics, I dont know. Now I playing Ys lacrimosa of dana, that game is gorgeous
aww mang, give it a chance. You need to play it for more than 15 minutes! haha The first game came out a long time ago remember that. The second and third are huge improvements.
I remember while visiting my Dad for a weekend we went to a game stop were I bought Uncharted Golden Abyss and The Sly Cooper Collection when they're where 18 dollars each. The validation code was gonna expire a week later to who ever decided to buy it if I didn't pick it up.
That's awesome! I bet you still have a vivid memory of that day too🙂I miss the days of walking into a gamestop or any department store and finding new ps vita games. Heck I remember buying brand new vita games at Target. Take me back to those days please!
@@SuperJumpReviews they actually gave me Theives in Time in the box.I checked it after we left because I always make sure how the condition are. Got the correct game afterwards. Ya it was a fun time since it was actually the first system I bought on my own when I was 13 back in 2015. Still my favorite system to carry around with me since the switch joycons make me nervous to play something with a lot more movement and scared to break it.
Just bought i used copy of the collection and the code hadn't been used but had expired exactly one year today I got it which was a shame but I did get a good price for the two games when you consider physical games going up in price with the news the PSN closing soon but I will still be able to buy sly 3 on the store before that happens.
I was told that if you call Sony customer service and tell them your problem they'll give you a working code.
When I found this collection came out to the vita, I was playing the first one on the PS2 and I just stopped playing and start searching for the collection, I think that this type of games plays perfectly on the go, a 3d platformer with an interesting mechanics and gameplay. I Already found thieves in time, but I'm going to play the collection first, if I can find it some day :(
Im pretty sure I remember, when you buy this physical, you are given a download code for # 3, which is now part of my psn library, so...unless you find it new, probably on ebay, if you get it used, you may not get number 3 (cause it not on the cartridge). So, just a heads up. If it's super expensive new: it would be best to find a bigger card, used on the net, then wait for a sale. Someone said it was on sale on the psn, once, for 6 bucks!
@@InglesSpanishConversation for 6$ I'll Buy it with My eyes closed!!! Hope that sale come again, man :(
He's right about Sly 3 being digital only. I suggest just getting the entire collection digital that way you'll get all three games. I think it's $15 on psn right now. Not $6 but hey, $15 aint so bad for 3 amazing games.
@@SuperJumpReviews yeah, 15$ Is pretty ok, though I'll keep searching for the physical Just to have all the games (except the third) on that format. That remains me that I need to buy a larger memory card!
This is literally my favorite Sony Franchise. I wish it was still active.
Well, we are getting a new crash bandicoot game so maybe Sly will eventually get one too!
Glad i've bought the physical copy of sly collection, so worth it and got sly 3 after it expired
@@SuperJumpReviews oh sorry I mean my code is already expired when i got the game
Bruh, I can't believe u brought up one of the best classic franchise series. I guess I'm blind cuz I love Sly, played it since I was 10 for ps2, played it for ps3 years later. I feel it's well made on vita overall, I own the version and it's enjoyable.
First I brought digital, beaten each one, then I went physical, and just re-downloaded part 3, but that's just me. I liked when they added Carmelita as playable character, especially in part 4...lol, also Ancestor characters, favorite one Tennessee Kid Cooper..
Today I still play Sly Cooper once in a blue on vita, even though I platnuim all 4 parts.
PSN: XSevenK
Wait is Tennessee Kid Cooper the one in the wild west? I can't remember.
The Sly Collection is definitely one of the most competent Vita collections ever released. My biggest complaints are that only 2 of the 3 games are actually on the cartridge and they completely butchered the original game's soundtrack. But that was also true for the PS3 version. Other than that, they look and play great. I'd also put the Metal Gear Solid Collection
on the list.
I never played the original on PS2. What did they do to the soundtrack!??!
@@SuperJumpReviews Basically took every song and made it worse. If they even work at all. Some tracks tend to abruptly restart in the middle of playing, and there's one level where there's no music at all, which is a shame, because that particular track was a good one. Idk why they did it, but it should have been left alone.
I’ve heard it’s due to space limitations. Trying to fit two full games on a single cartridge, AND both soundtracks? Not to mention the sound effects and extras? No wonder some things are broken.
Actually you can play this game on Upscale Native Resolution and in 60fps if you use vitagraphics on your Modded vita , You can patch it too and inhance the cut scene and make it into High Qualit HD.
aw man, that's too much work. Can't I just put the game in and have it work?😂
can you still download digital games on PSN In 2020?
Yes but it's getting harder to look up the games. Buy them now while you can!
do you think this game is a sistem seller for vita :) ?
That's a tough one. Some people are not into these type of games so it's hard to say if this is a system seller. But on the other hand, if you do enjoy these type of platformers then yes, it is worth getting the system just for these as they have been very faithfully ported over to the vita from the consoles.
You should also do a review on ninja go you always suggested yet you haven't done a review on it
Ninja go? I can't remember haha. sorry I get request for so many games.
What's your favorite playstation platformer franchise? Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, or Ratchet and Clank?
i wish there was a sly cooper 5
Oh man that would be awesome. But I want it to be made by the original team though.
thanks for replying now i know how to get it i got the code
This, to me, is the best set of portable platforming games. And I had Mario Odyssey on switch. My problem with Mario, compared to Sly, is that there is absolutely no context to what you're doing: the Mario levels seem like a drug trip, floating in some random dream (with good gameplay). Sly is like a cartoon heist, Mario meets assassins creed:because of the stealth (that gives context to the platforming and parkour)... running across roof tops seems cooler, when you have a bunch of reasons to do it. On that note: thieves in time was waay easier...if you stayed hidden (which was easy enough, too easy cause you just had to stay away from lamp lights), but all enemies put up a good fight.
Completely agree! Mario Odyssey was great and I enjoyed it very much, but truth be told, there was no story. No heart to what you were doing. The developers were banking on the fact that you already knew the character so there was no reason to explain why you were off jumping from one area to the next other than to save the princess. I mean, how many times can you save a princess right? But in that context it works I guess. Sly feels more like an interactive movie almost, clever writing, clever gameplay and there was always a reason to why you were doing what you were doing. Although I did not get a chance to finish them all I'm glad I went back and got to see what the original trilogy was all about. Definitely up there with my all time favorite games. I actually like this better than the Jak and Daxter games😁
@@SuperJumpReviews ...yeah, I guess I should have said its like a Mario acid, save princess trip/dream. I like the many open world areas in sly 2-4, which to me were larger than new donk city, with more direction and purpose.I'm debating getting spyro the dragon on switch: any insights to which category that fits into? More Mario like, or Jak and Daxter/Sly on the story side?
There's no denying that the PS2 was a phenomenal console and that Sly Cooper was one of the best games for the console, particularly the second game. However, the PS3 was the superior console interns of tech specs, and the improvements are noticeable in the HD remaster. I would also definitely recommend having the game for the Vita as well, the performance might be slightly weaker than the PS3 port, but I really love the way they apply the Vita's features to the game's controls
@SuperJumpReviews Crisp clean graphics, a higher resolution of 1080p, a framerate of 60 frames per second, and playstation trophy support are the most prominent improvements
You should do a Versus video of Virtua tennis 4 Psvita and Tennis world tour for the Switch/ps4/xbox1 etc. youll see how much better is the vita game :D And has more modes , like for wxample online multiplayer . Acording to the developers of the switch game the game was 20% finished by the time of relese , but they relese it anyway . Or just do a proper review of Virtua tennis4 vita , not only mention it in "Top ..." , just becouse its a nic cool game :)
Oh cool, I didn't know that. Maybe if I have time I'll do a standalone Virtua Tennis 4 review.
I've been waiting for this,
Thank you so much Andrew,
You're the best 👍
And one thing I hated about Sly Cooper thieves in time was the ending where Sly disappeared and land in Egypt.they need to make a Sly five and it better be compatible to the vita
I agree. Sly 3 is the best of all 4. The PS3 games run at 60 FPS and look jaw dropping still today.
I love how the games are just so cinematic. Like I'm watching a pixar moving.
30fps on vita and 60 on ps3, right?
I am new to this series
It is 30fps on the Ps Vita. However, you can mod it with Vitagrafx and make it 60fps on the PS Vita. It does have dips, however, down to 30fps (which is why there is a frame cap at 30fps). Honestly, it is not bad and it can be remedied by overclocking the Vita.
I would say 1st Sly is not dificult, it just have this frustracting controls when landing, camera isn't best either and hitboxes aren't so clear as well. Bosses feel slugish and robotic, Its kinda colectaton too. Luckily its all fixed in the next two games which are truly amazing and feel more like an adventure rather than classic platformer
Absolutely agree! Sly 1 is definitely the sluggish of the three but I was actually still surprised at how well it still holds up even to this day.
This game is really good and it’s a really good port for the vita and you can buy the collection with the voucher unused check eBay
SuperJumpReviews no they are not you will have to ask the sellers first to confirm but if it says in the description then yes the vouchers can still be used
Can psn vouchers get expired I thought they can’t work if they have been used I didn’t think that vouchers would have an expiry date
SuperJumpReviews DUUUUDE resident evil 3 and resident evil 2 is on sale on Xbox oh my gaaaaaaash I’m going to broke really soon there’s a capcom and ubisoft sale now is the time to pre order watch dogs legion as well I’m going to broke soon lol
This might be an unpopular opinion here, but apart from Jak & Daxter trilogy, every other Vita compilation port was an amazing port of their original source, i.e., PS2........including *God of War.*
check out Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed for PSVita
Yup, I already reviewed it years back. Check it out.
czcams.com/video/Me5EfHcDUzg/video.html
It’s sad that Jak and Sly get overshadowed by Ratchet, which in my opinion is my least favorite of the 3. But Sony thinks of Ratchet as their golden goose somehow.
Metal gear solid hd collection ratchet and clank trilogy, sly raccoon trilogy and god of war collection are epic.
Yeah, vita does have some awesome collections. Now imagine if the jak & daxter collection turned out better.
@@SuperJumpReviews that is true the game that suffers most in that collection is 3 but its definitely one where the ps2 versions of the game would have been better than the ps3 ports.
on the case it have the code and its not expires
I LOVED the first Sly Cooper game. The fantastic art style, the charming cartoony graphics, and colorful environments and characters. And the gameplay was super fun!
But from Sly Cooper 2 and onward...I just couldn't really get into them. And i think it's because of the gameplay overhaul. I just want to keep platforming, but Sly Cooper 2 and 3 kind of went in an Assassin's Creed-like design, running around an open area doing random side-quests, taking pictures of certain items and people, following some guy around the entire map and making sure to not get spotted? In my opinion, these tasks were very boring, and i even fell asleep a couple of times. Not to mention i'm also not into the AC series either...
I can definitely see the huge appeal in Sly 2 and onward, the gameplay just isn't for me.
When I got this, I jumped right into Sly 3. Having never played a Sly game before, it was pretty fun and I was impressed. But my only gripe was Sly's teammates look like they were designed for an edutainment game series.
@@HipnikDragomir Figured the graphics would be better later on in the series and I was right :) The game series did grow on me even more since then.
It’s a shame they don’t work on PSTV as I could play it in my bedroom on my big TV. I mean I have a PS3 and it’s Cross-Buy but no space on that 😂
I’m struggling with Sly 1 on Vita but I’ll press on as it sounds like it improves on the system
Keep trying. I can understand if you don't enjoy Sly 1 as much. The franchise was still trying to find its footing so some things aren't as smoothed out. 2 and 3 is where it's really at!
yeah, I can't believe it doesn't work on pstv either. Should've been a no brainer. It's because of the front and backtouch feature. Such a shame.
SuperJumpReviews yeah I will keep at it. I think it’s just the small screen maybe. I don’t have any trouble with other games including the Ratchet Trilogy. I think not playing them back on PS2 days has had an effect also. Used to games like Metal Gear and GTA 3 etc
I bought a brand new Sly Collection back in May of 2016. I used the Sly 3 voucher right away but wasn't able to get the game because it expired. This is one of the many reasons digital games suck!
Someone in the comments said if you contact Sony customer support, they give you a new code that works.
I just bought Sly Collection from the PS Vita store for 14.99, but it only included Sly 3. I was about to go to ebay and find a physical copy so I can get Sly 1-2. But I decided at least to try Sly 3 first, and it was kinda garbage, so I decided won't be getting the rest of the collection.
My bad! Turns out I do have Sly 1 and 2, they're in my download history. I didn't think to check that until now.
Someone said you can just contact them and tell them the situation with the collection and they’ll give you the third one
@@justthatgamer5712 The contact support sucks! I just ended up buying the third game and downloading. No biggie, since I am a big Sly fan.
:)
If you show proof of (new) purchase ie from Amazon to Sony, they'll give you a new legit DL code.

Hi man I have no idea about the American ps3 but over here in the EU all 3 games are sold separately on the ps3 still so if you get the vita physcial version then you can go onto the ps3 and download or get the 3rd game on the vita
