[No Love]

Was just about to post this, damn. And what's funny is... I got Sly 4 recently on my Vita but I wanted the original three as well. Day 1.

 

[Cornbread78]

Well, that is a Sly move by Sony, very nice...

 

[Card Boy]

960x544 is HD now?

 

[GalacticMouse]

Kind of want it just for the box art...hopefully this runs better than the J&D collection!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Day 1. Was waiting for this, finally can try out the franchise.

 

[Levyne]

3 more easy platinums for trophy hunters.

 

[BakedYams]

The PS Vita needs its own game and not some hand me downs, but I will double dip.

 

[Gamerloid]

Cool, never played the series before.

 

[GalacticMouse]

960x544 is HD now?

1. It's a higher resolution than the original release, so the term "HD Re-master" makes some sense.

2. It's qHD resolution...so the marketing teams just drop off the "q" and BOOM, HD release!

 

[gogogow]

960x544 is HD now?

Yes, see Jak & Daxter collection for the PS3 lol.

 

[Mumford]

Oh man. I wish this was cross buy but I highly doubt it is. I'll buy anyways though, fuck yeah portable Sly. 5 year old me would be shitting himself.

 

[Prelude.]

960x544 is

Spoiler

q

HD now?

Yes.

 

[Toki767]

I laughed that the blog announced this as part of the God of War Collection post. Probably should've gotten its own post.

 

[CompC]

As long as it runs fine, I'll definitely get it. It's totally time for me to replay these games.

 

[Yawnier]

Worth buying for the first game alone, which was one of the best platformers on the PS2. I wasn't as big of a fan of Sly 2 and Sly 3.

 

[GeoramA]

Nice.

I'm assuming a Dead Nation Vita announcement is coming.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Oh man. I wish this was cross buy but I highly doubt it is. I'll buy anyways though, fuck yeah portable Sly. 5 year old me would be shitting himself.

You never know, Jak Collection was Cross-Buy even though the Vita version came out later

I'd honestly prefer the Ratchet collection, but this'll do nicely. Never played the Sly series outside of demos.

 

[jf DOOM]

Might pick this up because I'm hurting for games to play on my Vita, but I have Thieves in Time and I can't really get into it. How does the collection stack up against it?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Hoping the digital version is cross-buy like the Jak Collection (at least it is in the EU) since I got this on sale on PS3 for like £7.

 

[BosSin]

A port of a port is fitting for the Portstation Vita


(give us more original titles ffs)

 

[btkadams]

so bought! i really wanted to play these on the vita. i wonder if our ps3 saves will work on the vita version.

 

[2+2=5]

One of the worst cover i have ever seen.

 

[Milennia]

Nice.

I'm assuming a Dead Nation Vita announcement is coming.

It was announced already, months ago.

Seems they are re announcing a good couple of games on top of few new ones such as sly.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Finally, a good sly game for vita.

 

[Musolf815]

NICE. It'll be like the third time I've bought the games but WORTH IT.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Hope God of War is soon after!

 

[Lijik]

wouldnt mind replaying Sly 1 on the go.


Are the Jak and Ratchet collections crossbuy if you buy them new?

 

[Rodney McKay]

You never know, Jak Collection was Cross-Buy even though the Vita version came out later

I'd honestly prefer the Ratchet collection, but this'll do nicely. Never played the Sly series outside of demos.

WHAT?! *Looks it up* Oh, only for the digital version. Wont be able to work with my physical copy. Lame.

I would also love a Ratchet+Clank collection for Vita. Played all of them on PS3 but would love to have them on a portable.

 

[kingofthedead45]

Hopefully a better port then the Jak collection. Man the slow down in jak 3 is just insane.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Hope God of War is soon after!

First week of May.

 

[Alchemy]

Might bite when it comes out. Need to finish 4 first though...

 

[topplehat]

I'll wait to see how well the ports are done. The Jak one didn't look too hot compared to the PS3 version.

 

[BomberMouse]

Day 1. Love the series.

 

[Verelios]

Okay, I'll bite. I still have sly4 in the shrink wrap, so this is great. Only...my wallet isn't smiling this year.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Yay! Now this collection is one I probably will buy at some point. Never actually played the original Sly games and I've been waiting for a Vita port of the collection.

 

[Spiegel]

 

[GeoramA]

Yeah, should have said re-announced. Hope it didn't get pushed aside.

 

[MattKeil]

So do the people excited about this and GoW Collection on Vita not own PS3s? As much as I love both series, I can't see myself triple-dipping on them.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

not buying again. gimme dat retroactive cross buy

 

[Oggmeiler]

Looks like im gonna have to buy a Vita now.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

WHAT?! *Looks it up* Oh, only for the digital version. Wont be able to work with my physical copy. Lame.

I would also love a Ratchet+Clank collection for Vita. Played all of them on PS3 but would love to have them on a portable.

Wasn't that only Europe?

 

[Nintendoga]

Great. I've always wanted to try out the series.

 

[br3wnor]

How are the first 3 Sly Coopers? I bought Thieves in Time during the PSN sale but only put a few hours into it so far. Fun little game.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Weird. That first screen looks fuzzy and non-native as hell, but then the other two look more crisp. Is there a heat haze effect or something in that level?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

First one is amazing, second one is good, third is OK.

 

[nexen]

There is no Ratchet collection on PS Vita. Is there? I'd totally buy it in a heartbeat if there was..

 

[sindbadthesailor]

Would be nice if this also means a Ratchet and Clank collection is on its way.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Aww yeah. Hopefully it's better than the Jak Collection on Vita.

 

[f@luS]

wow its ps1 geometry level here wtf
