Most likely the strafing and the lock-on that make it better; it's similair to Tennessee's and he's pretty much everyone's favourite ancestor, at least gameplay-wise.

You gonna predict near a million or more sold for this game?

Theyre only shitty in 3.
I'd say it's a toss-up between him and Galeth for gameplay, although my heart belongs to

It will be a while before we'll know if it's a hit or not. Due to it not releasing in Europe for another month and a half.
I'm actually shocked that on the UK Amazon preorder charts, it's at rank 37. Which is high for a game with little/no exposure over here.

You're absolutely right. Memory is a reconstructive process, and the people who claim it's not improved over the HD collection need to reevaluate the collection.
On a related note, we're far past the stage of many current gen games having muted colours and washed-out filters, but it's rare to get a game this colourful.

No, what he is saying that you should not make snap judgments on a game's sales based on how many replies it has on a gaming forum. That's just stupid.
PSASBR has nearly 10,000 posts, and you don't see it flying off the shelves, alternatively, AC:L has a mere 2,500 posts yet it's sold around 600,000 units.
So, no, page numbers mean nothing at all.
On Topic: Just got to the 3rd world. I really want to pace myself so I don't blow through it too fast, but it's just so damn good...
Yeah, totally. One of the most enjoyable titles to look at this entire generation. When a game even makes

IMO I'm pretty confident that a good portion of people in EU wanting to play the game impotred it, mostly not wanting to wait for the EU release date.
EDIT: It's currently 21 on Amazon's Best Sellers (NA).
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time coming March 29th for EU

Yeah I just dont see the logic in page counts.
Can't comment on the others, but yeah, I imported it. Bought through PSN, as I wouldn't be using the Vita version.
Did they ever state a reason for the gap in release dates?
No, they were pretty bad then too.
They were just worse in 3 because you spent less than half the game playing as Sly.
If a once-beloved, first-party exclusive can't even garner much interest on a forum dedicated to gaming, it probably won't light the sales charts on fire.
This series was beloved? I always got the feeling it was the third wheel to jak and ratchet back in the day.
You take that back!!!!!!
Yeah, it certainly was. Sly was is pretty rad, but these games were never a big deal.
I've been thinking about those three trilogies lately, the first of each was by far the best, very strange. Not that games always get better, but it's an odd thing.

Almost no matter how you slice it, R&C2 is better than 1. I can understand how someone could enjoy 1 more than 2 or 3, but objectively speaking, there's almost no argument to support that 1 is the best.
All for opinions and whatnot, but the first Ratchet was nowhere near considered the best in the trilogy. Sly and Jak is debatable, but certainly the first Ratchet is considered baby-steps for how the series progressed.

I think having the opinion that the first Ratchet is the best is an unusual one, most people seem to like either Going Commando or UYA much much more,
Flagpoles on one side, which you have to reach by parachuting off a nearby tall building?
Well, you could say that about the other two, but I would agree that 'by far' is really only applicable to the other two. I loved the first Sly and Jak, and barely enjoyed the sequels. R&C was more reliable, although I think it started much lower. But yeah, I guess that was extreme.
EDIT: A couple more comments, maybe I should take another look at them, I've not touched them since then, unlike Jak or Sly.

Nah, they werent. They play pretty much the same as they do now as they did then. Mission distribution is similar as well, aside from world 4 when Bentley is stuck on his own for a while.
I prefer Up your arsenal by a lot over the other 2. I played those for the first time a few months back in the HD collection and they do not hold up well to UYA and the PS3 games. They're missing so many features/gameplay mechanics and 1 has horrible platforming control. It's like Ratchet is running on ice the entire time, he slides for a half second after letting go of the stick.

Is it the one where the mask is too? Use the train, and also use the Jailbird costume.
I literally figured it out right after posting that. This was it. Thanks.

He actually has a skid animation after youre done running, so that is intentional.
Intentional or not it's horrible in a platforming game where you have to make relatively precise jumps at times. Getting rid of that in the following games was a great decision, even if it was a no brainer.

I dont know, man, Ratchet's platforming is not really that difficult. I guess I just never found it as an issue.
Now the lack of strafing, yeah, that is hard to go back to.
Is it by the train tracks? Maybe you should catch a train to reach it!

Well, it's not so much a "beloved series" as it is a "beloved Sly 1."
Sony definitely put their weight more into Jak and R&C, but I feel that Sly 1 held up better than the other respective first entries of those series.

So it's a safe bet that if I enjoyed the original trilogy I'll enjoy this one? The first game is definitely my favourite and this seems to have more in common with the later entries but I still thought those were totally decent and likeable games so if this is more of that I'm on board.
It was never their license to begin with. There seems to be some signs of life of the series over at Activision, but who knows if and when that will surface.
From the impressions this sound like the second best in the series.
Yup, definitely. Has more platforming than the later two, which is nice.
Except Sly 4 will only show up once.
Twice, actually; I don't know what happened since Sanzaru was going up and down about Sly 4 having a shared list, but it's absolutely, positively two separate lists.

Yes, you can. The only characters you need for bottles and Cooper emblems are Sly and his ancestor for that world. I think all of the bottles can be acquired by Sly using disguises and I think at least one emblem for each world needs the ancestor.
