Sly Cooper 4 for PS3 and Sly Cooper sequel for PSP will connect when released

The latest issue of PSM Magazine has an interview with Sly Cooper series developer Sucker Punch. The developers mention that we should expect to see Sly Cooper 4, presumably for the PS3, at E3, and an exclusive new Sly Cooper for the PSP as well. Here’s what they had to say about their upcoming platform-adventure Sly 4:

“The graphics have been majorly overhauled and the gameplay will be more varied and focused this time around. We’re aiming for a fully interactive 3-D world, with no loads and seamless interaction between settings and characters.”

Why does PSXextreme assume it’s for the PS3? Because the two Sly Cooper games are set to come out simultaneously and they will have connectivity with one another! This will be the first time we’ve seen this on next-gen consoles & handhelds; a game coming out at the same time for PS3 and PSP, and featuring connectivity right away at their release date in 2008.

Update May 2009: Although two years after the article the 2008 release date was proven wrong/delayed (2010 is more likely), developer Sucker Punch hinted — in the pre-order-only demo of their upcoming PS3 game Infamous — towards Sly Cooper 4 being in development! As you can see in the screenshot below, Sly Cooper 4 is listed among several fake movie titles on a cinema billboard in Infamous.

AWESOME. This game alone is more than enough reason for me to save money for a PS3 AND finally get a PSP. Sly Addict? Me? You bet.

Bring it on, SuckerPunch!

I Love sly cooper it is the best game ever. but my only problem is that ive done pretty much everything there is to do on all three of the games released by sucker punch, so i have now waited 2 years for a new sly cooper 4 to come out and now finaly its coming out for the PS3 which im definitly getting anyway. I spend so much time on sly cooper i’ll probably of completed it in about 3 days unless it has like 20 episodes in it, please bring it out quick suckerpunch cos im getting bored here.
