Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time coming to Vita

[mankind]

One of the more intriguing features of the Vita is its ability to cross-play games from the PS3. So far, only a few titles have launched on both platforms: MLB 12 The Show and MotorStorm RC, for example. However, Sony has just announced a pretty big addition to the Vita: the next Sly Cooper game, Thieves in Time.
The Vita version will launch day and date with the PS3 version. As with other cross-play games, save files will transfer from one platform to another automatically via the cloud. The Vita version will feature a number of Vita-specific controls, including use of the front and rear touch panel and motion controls. For example, when entering first-person mode, you use the built-in gyroscope to scan the environment.
Unfortunately, Sony hasn't determined pricing for the Vita version of Sly Cooper, and if gamers will be able to get both versions of the game with one purchase. PSN games have typically been offered bundled, but retail games have not. Sony's MLB 12 The Show was offered at a slightly discounted bundle. However, we question if gamers will really take advantage of cross-play unless both versions are offered at one price.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will be available on PS3 and Vita later this year.

So if I wanted to play both versions I'll have to purchase the game twice? Hmmm, then might think carefully before deciding on a version.

It would be cool if they had a PS3 game case with the Vita card in it also... or something like that...


Personally I'd never use such a feature. I want this game but i'll only get it on one or the other. probably PS3

WOW. Awesome! Another great core..something or other

Nah, but this is great news. I don't know which version to get now - playing anything on my vita is just a blast, so I think I might just get it on that...
They should do this with more PS3 games and release them as double packs like they did with The Show

Great news. Will probably buy this for the Vita, I need more games for that then my PS3.

[Nitey]

Exactly, plus I think a game with the art style of Sly where the colours just pop would look absolutely stunning on the Vita's OLED screen. Decisions, decisions..

Will be buying the PSN version then, and hopefully as a bundle. Won't be getting a PSV until next year probably but the game will still be there when I get it. Looking forward to playing this with the Move.

I've just bought the Sly trilogy off PSN. Is this a 4th game in the franchise?
If so brill and for me it will be for the Vita.

[Nitey]

It is the 4th game in the franchise, yeah

[AaronSOLDIER]
