So far you're the only one still making Sly Cooper videos and I love it. And yes this is really a curious and intrigant topic in the franchise. Considering that the Egypt level was considered as the first main level and even a DLC chapter, but both were just scrapped, shows they wanted to add that part of the story in any way to fit the game. Still wondering if there is ever gonna be an explanation or sequel to this. Great video! I loved your theorical explanation, blowing.

Maaaan, I miss sly cooper...

The idea of him in present day Egypt is a little comforting. Still, some continuity would be appreciated. We got other ancestors to meet.

You're forgetting one very important thing here, CLOCKWERK! Here's lived since the time of Slytunkhamen, and held a grudge against the Cooper Family so strong that he made himself a Robot in order to end them once & for all, so I think that Sly ended up in a time when Clockwerk was still organic, and it may have been up to Sly to teach his ancestor how to be a great & noble thief, and the boss of the Egypt level would have been Organic Clockwerk, and once he is defeated, Clockwerk swears he will end the Cooper Family no matter how long it may take, which would mean that Sly started Clockwerk's grudge against the Cooper Family, and he convinces Slytunkhamen to create a vault for the Cooper Family Fortune, and write a Book to contain all of the Cooper Family's greatest secrets & techniques, but then Sly writes a letter to Bentley in the future, and hides it within the cover of the book, Bentley then notices the letter in the present, and realizes that Sly is in Ancient Egypt, then uses the Time Machine to retrieve Sly from the past, and the the 5th Sly Game can pick up not too long after That.

i miss sly so much i hope someone pick up the series

After Ghost of Tsushima I keep forgetting that sucker punch created Sly, it’s hard to imagine even.

I am in desperate NEED for a new sly entry on ps5. Doesn’t matter if it is a remake or a sequel😭

I really rate how your the only channel to still upload sly videos till this day

I love your theory regarding how Sly could contact Bentley in present by writing a message in the Thievius Raccoonus. This could be the best option for Murray and Bentley to find out where's Sly

Great video as always!

Thinks for the sly cooper update vtnvivi 😄👍

havent heard from you in a while! Love your videos as always!!

I would want the story to continue in the 5th game. I like to think of the plot being about Sly navigating in ancient Egypt, where he meets his ancestor, Slytunkhamen. With some helpful meddling, Sly becomes responsible in creating his clan and the Thievious Raccoonus (which he uses to inform Bentley about his whereabouts). But his actions also led to the creation of his bloodline's immortal nemesis, which is Clockwerk. Clockwerk, in theory, may be the result of a former high-ranked official/noble who used the wreckage of Le Paradox's time blimp to become the mechanical being he was in the future. And his hatred on the Cooper clan was derived from Sly and Slytunkhamen meddling in his affairs that led to his ruination

Thank you for explaining this nice video

Hi VTNVIVI and awesome video 👍

Ok, this is crazy theory: In the playstation UI reveal, they showed Sly Cooper as avatar. Like if i was making that i think it would have been better to use it to advertise their upcoming games like spiderman. Maybe, we'll get a remake of previous Sly games or a new one? Or why not both? Maybe remake with Sly 4 DLC that was planned?

Love that new intro

an easier explanation for the Vault Key could be that the lock is changed each time there's a new inheritance. the last one was Sly's Father and Sly is using his dad's cane.

Uh- when he said something about Sly being his own ancestor, that really startled me. He took the thoughts right out of my brain.

Dang it. I’m sad cause Sly Cooper is lost in Egypt. I miss that raccoon thief hero, so much. I’m a huge fan of Sly Cooper video games.

I would like to have the next Sly game (if it is coming) to rotate between Sly in "ancient" egypt and the others in modern France(?) with both sides trying to help Sly (himself) get back to the right time periode. The whole game is just Sly getting home, I wouldn't mind. Unless we ignored the secret ending in egypt like it never happen and Sly is hiding somewhere and we'll call it " Where on Earth is Sly Cooper?". ;)

Ya know just thinking that right now is the perfect time for Sly to come back. There may never be another opportunity like this ever again. All the old PS games are making comebacks and here we are still waiting for sly. There is so much that can be done with this series. These theories are so good too. I really hope he makes a comeback on PS5

I find these types of videos insanely interesting

I love this idea. i've been streaming Thieves in Time and i know this game gets hate but i love it so far. there are some things that are alright but I'm fine with the writing and how it goes.

Great video

Clockwerk's Brain was in Le Paradox's time machine at the end of Sly 4, in the prologue, when we use Bentley for the 1st time in Sly 4, when Bentley "kills" the rats, if you wait to hack the computer and you look around you will see that.

2021 is the 20 anniversary for jak 2022 = = = for sly

If Sly Cooper 5 was made here is what I would see how the beginning goes. Bentley is at the river where the site of the incident happened and he finds the black boxes of Le Paradox’s Time Machine much to his hope. He takes them and goes back to his lab to analyze the data where he can find the last known input of the Time Machine. Once he found the last known input he goes back to Murray and Carmelita and tells them “I know where Sky’s gone to when the blimp disappeared” and then Murray and Carmelita are so relieved to hear what Bentley said. Murray will be like “How” and Bentley will be like “Thanks to my amazing foresight Le Paradox’s Time Machine was fitted with Black Boxes”. After that Bentley, Murray and Carmelita can use Bentley’s Time Machine fitted in Murray’s van after finding the Ancient Egyptian item to go back in time to Ancient Egypt and find Sly Cooper and I can imagine that upon arrival when Bentley, Murray and Carmelita finally found Sly Carmelita would run to him and kiss him and hug him. Finally after a reunion they would go back to the van but just as they were about to go home they hear a scream in which they follow the screaming to find that Sly Cooper’s Ancient Egyptian ancestors is being held against his will by Bentley’s ex-girlfriend Penelope. I’d imagine Sly Cooper saying “Let him go” and Carmelita saying “Penelope, you are going to be on Death Row for escaping Europe’s highest security prison”. Thus the player must rescue Sly’s ancestor, defeat Penelope and then Sly, Carmelita, Bentley and Murray can all go home with Penelope now handed over back to the authorities. For Carmelita to make up for Sly for not giving him the chance to explain himself the two would stay in Carmelita’s place. Sly and Carmelita would get drunk with champagne, hug and kiss each other hardcore and sleep for the night. The next day Sly would go back to meeting Bentley and Murray, for Carmelita she’s find Sly’s calling card saying “Thanks for the night” and thus a new story of Sly Cooper 5 begins.

Good to see you back on our favorite thief raccoon.

I like to believe that the main villain would have been Clockwerk. Maybe it's where Slytunkhamen and Clockwerk were somewhat at odds, but due to Sly's involvement, what if that cemented Clockwerk's hatred for the cooper lineage, thus leading him to be enveloped in his hated?

And you're right VV I don't have that communicator that allowed me to contact the present Bentley had it.

I can picture Sly going back to ancient Egypt where he meets Slytunkhamen BEFORE he became a master thief, so Sly has to teach him some of the basics of being a thief, like getting intel and such in order to get him started, thus starting his family legacy.

Wow! Nice theories!

I kinda like the "own ancestor" theory but as red herring. Like start the first part with Sly creating a footprint and then plot twist with the real one.

Ah yes! A little over 5 years ago I discovered this! I remember the date I did! 12/23/2015, this cliffhanger ending changed my life forever. The depression I suffered for the next couple weeks after this. Hell it even took me a couple months to get 99% over this. Yeah, still at least a little salty over this. Wow! Can’t believe I’m looking back at this. I doubt there’s going to be a sequel of any kind.

I always theorized that Penelope left the gang (Bentley) with the catch of needing an object on purpose. She clearly knew how to figure out just typing it in

Even then, that theory would have to relate back to Sly 2’s intro somehow given IT WAS IN CAIRO!😂😂😂.....2004 calling it now ‼️‼️

sir galleth Cooper is definitely my favourite of the ancestors in sly 4. he's voiced by Yuri Lowenthal who's one of my favourite voice actors ever! he will always be the prince of Persia to me!

He was browsing discord when someone sent him a meme saying "Screw Brazil, you're going to Egypt." Also, I think a new Sly Cooper game shouldn't have fancy graphics, The Cartoon-ish style is what makes these games uniqe.

Hey I'm back! I just thought how this would make the most sense, it would be better in the story of Sly 5 that Sly uses pieces of La Paradox's time machine to travel forward back into the present, while also meeting his other ancestors along the way, them helping him. =) That way we can see more of Sly's family, and continue on the series. It would make the most sense to put Clockwork back into the picture, in order to show what cause his hatred for the Cooper Clan. I say it was an "accident" on Slytunkhamen's part, that cause the animosity.

Those are good theories Vivi, but also Clockwork has been watching the Cooper Clan since Slytunkhamen's time cause of the photos from the first game after beating Mz. Ruby of getting Slytunkhamen's page then defeating Panda King to go to Russia to face him.

What are your thoughts on Deceit of Thieves? I personally think it's great that someone is making a sly game

I miss Sly so much! Come on we got Crash and Spyro to come back now give us Sly!!! 🥺💙

Having nostalgia Ahh. My childhood...

Well to me, it only makes sense. Because that's really were the Cooper Clan Started, aside from Bob just being a link to their existence. And great Sly vid as always Vi! 😎

What do u want to happen to the sly series sly movie, sly tv show, sly 5, or sly remake?? I want sly 5

I hope one day they will actually bring back Sly Cooper and finish off the story

I been playing sky cooper for years, I have completed the game many times! I'm on tooth picks part right now, I hope they makr a 5th game SOON

We really need another sly cooper game we need sly 5, we can’t have it end like this in a cliffhanger

How can we as fans get more hype so the next instalment or dlc can be made? Because as a major fan of this series its been far too long of a wait and I would love to see the series flourish more so. There is still an active fanbase behind it I noticed and people still post to hashtages on all social media to this day. The ending must be resolved at least. Do you know what to do? (I went on a rant there haha sorry I just really adore the series and see so much potential) 💙

Slytunkhamen Cooper II will be a boss character? I don't think that's gonna happen. Because Slytunkhamen is one of Sly's ancestors. And Sly would never attack or hurt to his own ancestors: his own family. Never, because that's impossible. Sly should tell Slytunkhamen that he's one of his relatives from the future, and he needs his help to figure it out how can he go back to the present so he could reunite with his two best friends: Bentley and Murray, and his girlfriend: Carmelita. And speaking of that I just mentioned that Sly needs to go back to the present, I am still waiting for Sony Interactive Entertainment company brings the announcement reveal of a brand new Sly Cooper game: a sequel to Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time: "Sly Cooper 5" on PS5. Not a DLC for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Just a brand new Sly game: "Sly Cooper 5" on PS5 because the Sony Interactive Entertainment company are taking WAY too long for like 7 years. So please Sony company, make it happen! I'm still waiting! I can't wait anymore! Please, Sony! Make the announcement reveal of Sly Cooper 5 as a brand new game on PS5 already! Please!!!

i platinumed the whole sly series like 2 weeks ago. sly 4 was a pain

I thought it was because the time traveling machine malfunctioned?

La paridox was an art collector so he already had all the items he needed to go to those time periods and since Bentley and penelope worked together to make the time machine and la paridox being a little inpatient Penelope didn't have time or help to figure out how to improve the design so you wouldn't need an iteam from each time period

I wish a new company would take the torch and try to make Sly Cooper 5

I wonder why sly never fought jack the ripper

Oh but also you know what I really love about crash 4 it’s about time? The world map layout because it’s so similar to crash 1 and doesn’t copy the warp room style of cortex strikes back and warped. Toys for bob really knew what they were doing right? I’m glad they didn’t do a wrath of cortex because the less said about what TT tried to do the better. I mean I still liked their ways room design but the layout in its about time is just so much better. What do you think overall?

I always thought it was because that was le paradoxes next destination

Ugh, I really hope Sly Cooper comes back on the PS5.

Wait I remember there was an ancient Egyptian ancestor of sly ( I know your talking about it) what would if the dlc was like something like sonic generations not restoring time but being with a different time self / ancestor that sly would have to team up with his ancestor from there ? Idk its jsut a guess

theres a doctor nefarious in ratchet and theres a a doctor nefarious in crash

I was guessing that maybe when the the paradox's blimp malfunction just send him conveniently to ancient Egypt. But you might have a point that, the possible reason of him ending up in ancient Egypt was through his cane. And the possible chance that's Sly did help created his family legacy, in Egypt.

I did look it up on google why the dlc was removed, due to taking a lot of space for the vita and time constraints

don't know if someone mention this, but isn't the cooper vault holding the canes of the ancestors, one of them belonging to the one one who wrote the thievius raccoonus? shouldn't they be able to use it to find sly, once they know he is in ancient egipt.

Honestly, I was expecting the game to end with Sly meeting his father, and Sly having to make sure to not cause a full-on paradox of not being born.

Man you know, if we could've have that cliffhanger, none of this would've happen. I really wish Sanzaru had more time to develop Sly 4 and then release it on the PS3 and PS4 in late 2013 during the PS4 debut and also, Sanzaru will add some DLC content in Sly 4! I really miss Sly Cooper and I wish Sony would've acquired Sanzaru already so they would have Sly return on the PS5 before Oculus does and then everything would be ok, right? During the 2020's, 2022 is going to be the 20th Anniversary of Sly Cooper and 2023 is going to be the 10th Anniversary of Sly Cooper Thieves in Time! You know, I would have the Sly Cooper PS5 Remaster/Remake Collection with Sly 4 in 2022 and Sly Cooper 5 in 2023 and you know what I'm thinking? We should have Sucker Punch or BluePoint Studios owning Sly Cooper and Sly will be home and plus, they will get started in making Sly 5 and other future Sly projects!

Ya know, Sly actually does look pretty similar in the 2D and 3D animation(also I feel like Vivi has put in more thought into his videos than the people making Sly 4)

So I have a theory what if a future version of le paradox idk how spell but What if a future version of him helps his past self escape prison and they find were sly is and he prob will be with the other ancestors we didn't see but all of them in Egypt and the they have this big boss fight and future le paradox has alot of new gadgets that make it harder would be cool to see that on the ps5 Love the sly videos

I wouldn't necessarily be heartbroken if they didn't make a new game, but damn the cliffhanger was a serious blueballing.

So we have teasers, tweets, a full DLC script (maybe even a bit developed), there is a trailer for a movie, there were plans for a series. Numerous interviews that have people talking about it and saying that they would love to work on it, and a few hints in other games that keep mentioning sly. A community that has been wondering for about 6 to 7 years and last but not least the owner of Sony who liked a tweet about Sly.... Yet we are here completely clueless, we deserve answers honestly. They simply can not leave us hang here!

La paradox might sent clockwerk to stop the thievious racoonus from being made

I would be fine with a reboot

What I think happened is that Le Paradox set Ancient Egypt as the first time and location for the voyage he planned for Sly and Carmelita. Of course, due to the blimp’s destruction, the program was completely cut off and not continued. I do believe that Le Paradox’s time machine is based on Bentley’s blueprints, seeing as how Penelope made both of the time machines. Sly’s cane can’t even be close to the object needed to travel there; as noted in Sly 3, the Egyptian khopesh canes that Slytunkhamen II used (which were also his father’s canes) are different from Sly’s cane. It also confuses me as to how some of the canes (like Slaigh MacCooper’s caber cane with a stone crook or Thaddeus Winslow Cooper III’s cane with a ruby embedded into the crook) could open the vault door. There are quite a few reasons why Sly Cooper is not Slytunkhamen Cooper. Sly reassembled the Thievius Raccoonus, which isn’t the same as creating it. I also might add that Sly had to read Slytunkhamen’s notes in order to learn how to turn invisible.

I love the video but do u think he will be stuck in ancient Egypt or do u think he will rebuild the machine and go back and if he does need something knowing game developers and the plot he would probly pull out something carmelita gave him to throw it in the machine to get back to the present but while he is rebuilding it he and his ancestor work together and he helps design the vault etc etc and when he gets back well idk probly a cutscene of him.getting back and he would probly try tk find carmelita and cutscene for that and it would wrap up the plot holes sorta

What if sly were to become sly tankhanmen(don't know the spelling) and write the thievius racoons maybe coz that's where time says he belongs to

Three things doctor who the eighth doctor says that time is a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimy that has time fixing it self. The second thing is what if sly gives his ancestor the idea of writing the raccoonus but they disagree and fight. The last thing is when you said that Bentley's DNA was a time machine thing that it sent him back to Bentley's ancestor time

I feel like one major issue is that if Sly met his ancestor, (sorry. Not even going to attempt spelling Slytun- yeah, not trying), he would have left a note in the Thievious Raccoonus. But that would be instantly noticable in the present, so if there was no message, Sly never had access to the book. If we go off of your theory that he fights with his ancestor, what if the ancestor won? Maybe Bentley and Murray could get the itch to steal again, and rob a museum, where they find Sly's cane and a mummy possibly? From there they would have the knowledge of Sly's location, and be able to go search for him. And fix everything. In all honesty though, I want Clockwerk to have some relevance. He's the best villain, and I'd like some historical context to his backstory.

I just wished some one would make sly 5

It's honestly a mystery not worth given unless you wan to go full Gravity Falls logic to this.

Did you start a new channel? Because I could have sworn I was subscribed to you VIVI.

Dang it make another game already it’s been 6 yrs

The possible boss from Le parodox could be clockwerk

I really hope and I wonder Sly Cooper, his friend with Bentley and Murray looks better with Movie or Sly 4 design character.

I like that when I’m in the comment section. Carmelita is paused with her holding the “pocket evidence”. There’s a thing that I never got: police don’t just pocket evidence.

Poor Sly he got snooped away by the timeline

Hmmm I think we're gonna find out soon I wish there was sly 5 I want to now the story

What if the pieces for the blimp remains, somehow became the soulless machinery that Clockwerk uses to become to replace his mortal body?

This is just me thinking, but maybe something from Egypt must of went into the time machine before it exploded?

I feel like sly cooper becomes Slytunkhamen…and that glitch in the time machine sends him back and he starts the cooper bloodline there. We already see clockwerk in the picture with Slytunkhamen idk how he got there but yea I think sly going back in time he becomes the first (if we don’t count the caveman) lol

We must rally together and tell sony on Twitter WE WANT SLY BACK 🙂IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COME TOGETHER maybe just maybe you guys we can get sly back if crash can come back we can get sly back WE MUST ALWAYS FIGHT FOR OUR BOY SLY. #saveslycooper

The might have had sly sent to Egypt in order to provide Penelope with the opportunity to redeem herself since as the builder of that time machine she has all the technical info Bentley needs in order to locate sly.

Interesting theories VV but unfortunately none of it explains why sanzaru decided to just dump me here But thank you for making another video about my games I always appreciate the updates.

I think he may be in future egypt if none of Bentleys technology ever found sly

Why is no one making a theory about clockwerk? He's in almost every timeline and never bothers to attack any of the cooper family except Sly.

Good news is I'm not staying in a cave anymore by the way do you know anyone who can translate ancient Egyptian nobody here speaks a lick of English.

Even if Sly 5 released at this rate, it would now be on PS5, and not PS4, I do hope Sly gets the ending to his series that he deserves.

Question: maybe it was answered before but how come they didn’t make another sly cooper game?

Will there be any sly 5? Be couse sly 4 didn't end well with sly stuck I really hope that there will be a Sly 5 What dou you think?

Maybe there will be sly reboot or sly collection

Eu amo esse filme espero que eles estejam fazendo o sly cooper 5
