I know I just like those games more.Quote:

Ratchet & Clank was developed by Insomniac.
Jak & Daxter was developed by Naughty Dog.
Jak & Daxter was a very good game, I am looking forward to the sequel. However, I'd much rather see a Sly Cooper sequel because I enjoyed that game very much. :-)
Yes, a Sly Cooper sequal would be the best but I doubt that'll happen. I don't think it sold very well.
A J&D2 sequal is more than welcomed however.
Sky Cooper > Jak and Daxter
J&D was good but didn't keep my attention.Quote:

I much prefer the games I mentioned. Also, i think Sly Cooper didn't sell well because it had a lame advertising campaign that didn't really stand out or anything. Point being the major public weren't too aware of it.
There was a post here a few weeks ago that showed the December sales in the US. On that list, Sly Cooper was said to have sold over 180,000 copies (total) by the end of December. Although that's not great, I wouldn't say that's bad, either.Quote:

This article says that it is believed that Sly Cooper 2 is being worked on. I sure hope so!
Also, Sony had a contest a few months ago that invited participants to design a character that would fit into the Sly Cooper storyline. The winner of the contest would win a trip to visit Sucker Punch (the developer), and have his character included in Sly Cooper 2.
Here's one other point to consider: Sony seems to be fine with making sequels to games that attracted great critical praise, even if sales weren't quite up to expectations. For example, Frequency is getting a sequel (which I am looking forward to), and I'd be surprised if that game outsold Sly Cooper. There's also rumors of a sequel to Ico (another fine game that unfortunately was overlooked by the public) in development.
It sure is! :DQuote:

Plus the game was cel-shaded. Oddly enough, cel-shaded games don't seem to sell well in the US at all. Sly, Jet Set, I bet Auto Modelista (sp?) doesn't do as well as it would if it weren't cel shaded.Quote:

Oh, and J&D was better then R&C. :p
I didn't think so. I thought the story and levels were better in R&C and Jak and Daxter had alot of flat minigames such as the fish catching.
I will say that R&C doesn't do anything out there and new. But it sticks to the straight and narrow with a nice story and is a solid good play. Actually I bought the game because of the awesome commercial campaign they had going (I did read up on it, though) and I'm glad I did.
Cell shaded games don't sell well... hmm. I think it's because photo realism is what most North Americans in general want. Cel shading is seen more as a step back to the 2D era which, of course, is only supposed to be in pocket gaming, according to the general public.
The main problem with the PS2 is that when a blockbuster title is coming out in the year, everybody focuses on it. (of course not the intensive gamers, such as ourselves.) So games like Dynasty Warriors, ICO, and Sly Cooper are overlooked for games like GTA, MGS and THPS
Sly Cooper actually got quite a bit of mainstream-ish press.
Yeah, it got good press, but that doesn't mean it sold well. Personally soeaking, at the EB I work at, even when we were supposed to be pushing Sony products and had them all up front advertised, Sly was the worst selling title. Because of the small size of the store we keep the worst selling games in the back. Sly was in the back.Quote:

I wish it sold really well, I'd love a sequal, but I'm doubting it will happen. On the other hand, I did enjoy J&D thoroughly and I'm happy there will be a sequal.
