It's no secret that Films for video games They have been risky suggestions for most of their history, although it has changed in recent years with successful adaptations of major properties such as Mario and Sonic of the hedgehog. But as early as the mid-2010s, the genre was still mostly wild cards that led to boxing. Insincerely for this, Sony has decided to get involved in the business with several films that adapt great properties to PlayStation. Specifically, two hit franchisions-platform franchises of the PS2-"Ratchet & Clank" and "Sly Cooper" era-were being developed as animated films.

The Ratchet adaptation was released in 2013, and the movie "Sly" received a full string coach a year later. Fun for blockade, Rainmaker Entertainment animation studio, and director Kevin Munro and the animation studio were attached to the two. The projects even had a video games in the form of a blockade producer, Brad Foxhoven, who had previously worked on games like "Stranglehold" and "Def Jam: Fight for New York", as well as video game films like "Heavenly Sword" Sony in 2014 "Heavenly Sword" of Sony 2014 adaptation and Johnon Wu's canceled film "Metroid".

The trailer "Sly Cooper" shows redesigned characters in aesthetic CGI that moved away from the targeted look of the games. However, fans were excited and seemed to be a great IP and medium. "Sly Cooper" is something like "eleven oceans" by "zootopia", and its world is perfect for an animated animated family adventure. Unfortunately, Ratchet & Clank has become an extreme office failure after announcing, earning just $ 14.4 million with a $ 20 million budget. That collapse led to a series of problems with Sly Cooper production, and Rainmaker left the project in 2017, effectively killing the film for the good.

The "Sly Cooper" games are precious stones from the early 2000s, wearing a personality, narrative intrigue and wit that was rarely in the 3D platformer genre at the time. I am a little biased because the first "sly" was one of the first video games I have ever played on Target Demo Kiosk for PlayStation 2. Like many other fans, I was drawn to the sharp character of writing and stylish aesthetic. Also, it doesn't hurt that the original trilogy of Sucker Punch studio development played incredibly well.

The premise of "Saked" is quite simple: the title protagonist is a raccoon criminal who comes from a long line of masters thieves. But like Robin Hood, sometimes he just robs others, more wicked robbers. Each game is divided into a series of heists for which you need to be prepared through various missions. In later games, as the gang of the pictures grows, you take control of a series of characters with different skills, each of which contributes something different from the heists. The games also embrace a healthy part of the Globut, with robberies everywhere from Paris and Venice to the Australian Outback and Chinese Mountains Kunlun.

According to Synopsis released when the film was released, he would remain pretty loyal to this setting and basically adjusted the first game in the series. The main villain of that game, a giant robotic bird called Clockwerk, was reportedly included, and the film would show an early version of the basic gang - the same, Bentley Turtle and Murray Hypo - as they put their feet under them as a proper team for thieves.

"Sly Cooper" still feels ripe for animated adaptation. After the film broke up, reports on the TV series came out, but that project soon met a similar fate. The room of anthropomorphic animals that implement complex heists around the world in style of comic is simple, but it also seems perfect for the modern animation landscape where studios have progressed like DreamWorks and Illumination. Unfortunately, the chances of the movie "Sly Cooper" are still going basically zero.

Sony did not give up his video game adaptations. Far from it, the company set up its own studio, PlayStation Productions, just to deal with turning its IP into movies and shows. The fruits of that venture include Video Game Movies like "Grand Tourism" And Tom Holland's "Uncharted", as well as shows like "Twisted Metal" and, in particular, HBO's critically appreciated series "The Last of Us". Many other projects are currently in works, including a movie version of Ghost of Tsushima, the 2020 PlayStation Hit, developed by Sucker Punch, the same studio that "sly" games made.

The last detail may be the biggest reason why the movie "Similarly Cooper" is unlikely to happen. The games themselves have been asleep for more than a decade, with the last entrance that came out in 2013 at a pretty poor reception. Sucker Punch has become one of Sony's most famous study, but that team has long moved to other projects. We calm down the fans of "The like" we stayed to wait and cross our fingers in the hope that maybe one day, we will get a new game.
