For new people that are, my name is AJ Torres or Relentlezz41. I am a full time maintenance man and when I'm not swamped from work I game, write, and podcast.

And if you're wondering if I am not shaving and wearing a Yankee hat it isn't because I am mocking SavoCentral. I live in Connecticut, work in Putnam/Dutchess County state of New York and I am a Yankee fan. Just an FYI.

So here is the deal. It saddens me, but there will be not continuation of Sly Cooper. Fans want it, Sony and them probably don't. After the idea of a movie happened and got stopped due to the Ratchet and Clank movie bombing, there hasn't been a care in the world by the Sony corporate side of things.

Before I begin this idea I had in mind, let me go with some FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions.

Why Sly 4? There's a fourth game?

Savo Central covered this. Check out his YouTube channel. Highly recommend it.

In short, Thieves In Time (TIT) was a fourth game but it was based off of a cliffhanger that will not be fulfilled or completed. In doing so, there can be changes to events after Sly 3.

A fan based project does have a lot of rules that can looped around if done right.

Not saying my idea is perfect, but TIT did have some things I disagree with. I loved the first two levels and then the story kind of fell apart.

Do you see Sly Cooper going back to a life of crime?

The thing is, I see Sly and Carmelita together, but with ALL of the crimes Sly did could he just date an Interpol Officer and wipe his hands off and be good? I don't think so.

The setting after Sly faking his amnesia state, it becomes difficult. But I've been working on concepts. Been weighing what is the best one.

Have you watched Savo Central's idea?

Yes. Many times. I'm a fan.

I only question Bentley walking again and that's it. And that's minor. The rest, I have no issue. It all looks good and I like the team working on Sly 4 Deceit Of Thieves.

Favorite Sly Ancestor

Rioicchi by far.

Are you making a Sly game too?

I don't have the art talent, tools, and resources. I'm just a writer. Plain and simple.

Would you write a Sly Thieves In Time 2?

I'll think about it.

Guys, let me know if interested. I will consider it. I have before. I had an idea about Egypt, just not being able to bridge the gap after that.

I really just had Egypt and Sly's Dad figured out only to a point. The rest so far I got nothing.

And don't even get me started with Penelope.

What is Sly 4 - Back To Action ?

Theory 1 -

It's much different than some think. There are concepts to play around with as what path Sly chooses. There are an array of paths.

The main question and concern when in a comment section, around a table talking to fan, etc. Is "Would Sly go back to crime?" Or "Is Sly done with crime?"

So the Sly 3 ending is really Carmelita takes Sly's word for it and accepts it. Yes, they have a thing for each other. I get that. But isn't there more to it?

I understand taking advantage of one's condition, but amnesia has been a written concept many times. Basically, she knows that he will come back to his senses at some point in time.

Here's an idea. She holds him for a while. Then makes him talk. Sly is a master escape artist, but I think there is a way for him to date Carmelita and still continue his family tradition of being Master Thief.

If you go back to Sly 2, when they are judging the games against Jean Bison, after knocking all of the Cooper Gang out, he finds their hideout and takes all of the Clockwork parts. In Sly 3 General Tsao finds their hideout and steals the Thiefnet Laptop. So Sly 4 - Back To Action. Why couldn't Sly and the others be found out?

The classic work with us for immunity.

This can lead to a few things.

1. Sly the crooked cop. Basically like Contessa from the second game where she really is in Interpol for a cover up as she is after everyone's money.

2. Sly represents him and "his sources" help Interpol with a few case files. Catch a bad guy. Which could have Sly nab the treasures and store in the vault too.

3. Sly 4 (Tit) didn't describe much of Sly Cooper as to what he did in the intro. Just retired? Then what is he doing all day? Being a house boyfriend to an Interpol agent?

To test to see if the relationship can work, he's going to have to fight and resist the urge to head back to crime. Or, maybe work can help his hand in that.

Theory 2 -

We time-skip to a child.

There is a fan made project called Court Of Thieves.

Done by YouTube channel Damsel Interactive.

Cooper Fox a thief like his father and Asta Fox his fraternal twin sister. Though I enjoyed the theory, I thought about just one child and he or she has to pick a side.

OC children have a lot to play around with.

Lexi Cooper -

It all started when Lexi was a baby that she held a rattler cane. Then like her father attempted to steal cookies from the kitchen jar without anyone noticing but the house husband in her father always caught her. Giving her only one cookie and sending her off to bed.

Growing up in the city of love Paris with her parents, she grew fond of the culture. The food, the atmosphere, and especially the models. Being with her mother's tone and father's hair she had an alluring look.

Lexi was into dancing and modeling. Then tragedy struck her as a rich landlord sold off the dance studio she attended to for nearly a decade. He sold it off so it can be torn down and have something more luxurious and expensive take it's place for money. Lexi goes right to her closet to get the cane she recently got for her sixteenth birthday.

As Lexi is about to climb out of her window to the fire escape her father is leaning against the doorway with a smirk. She stopped and felt that she was going to be punished. Instead Sly gives her a pep talk and she goes on her way. To help Lexi's mission of getting revenge on one of the the biggest corrupt businessmen in the city.

Damian Fox -

Damian looks just like his mother and is about to turn eighteen where he is going to be choosing his own path. To cover up for his father, he chooses law enforcement.

Being a rookie cop on the job he sees guys that should be charged with serious crimes get away scott free because a chief, a board member, or someone rich and/powerful gives them a voucher.

As Damien grows sick of it, he has a day off as he visits Uncle Bentley and Aunt Penelope to read through the family journal and relic. The Thievious Raccoonous. Starting from Slytunkhamen II who wrote the book all the way just ahead of his grandfather.

Damien learning the techniques from his father at a young age had never read the book before. Because Sly and Carmelita wanted him to make his own choice. He knew that he was from the longest generation of Master Thieves and Sly was passing on the generation potentially. Even defeating the enemy of his heritage in Clockwork. But Damian hasn't read up to that point.

Will Damian Fox suck it up and respect the process? Become a crooked cop? Or will he grab his father's cane to continue the legacy under the cover name Dame Cooper?

Theory 3 - Remake and rewrite a better Thieves In Time.

Crap writing.

Crap villians.

A good first half and a bad second half? Then horrible ending.

Is Penelope going rogue?

I am very open to talk about this. I am happy to talk with fans and get the ball rolling. I have worked hard on this and am still plotting. Please comment or message me.
