December’s new PlayStation Plus Classics brings more Sly Cooper games, along with Jak & Daxter

Sony
has
lifted
the
lid
on
what
games
will
be
getting
added
to
the
PlayStation
Classics
lineup
on
December
10,
and
its
good
news
Sly
Cooper
fans!

Yes,
everyone’s
favourite
thieving
trash
panda
is
back.
Sly
2:
Band
of
Thieves
and
Sly
3:
Honor
Among
Thieves
arrive
on
December
10,
joining
the
original
Sly
Cooper
and
the
Thievius
Raccoonus
which
came
out
earlier
this
year.

While
it
is

not
specifically
mentioned
in
the
blog
post
,
both
of
the
Sly
games
will
presumably
be
available
to
purchase
separately
for
those
of
us
who
don’t
have
an
active
Premium
membership,
like
other
PlayStation
first-party
Classics
have
been.
It’s
also
assumed
they
will
both
be
running
on
PlayStation’s
new
emulation
tech
and
will
have
full
trophy
support.
At
least,
I
hope
they
will
because
I
have
that
shiny
Platinum
for
the
first
game
and
would
love
to
complete
the
collection.


Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus in 2024 is still awesome! – Emulated Review

Sly
Cooper
and
the
Thievius
Raccoonus
is
now
out
on
PS4
and
PS5
via
Sony’s
newest
PlayStation
2
emulation
software.
Is
the
classic
platformer
worth
playing?

However,
it’s
worth
mentioning
that
Sony
can
be
annoyingly
vague
when
it
comes
to
specifics
in
regards
to
Classic
titles.
For
example,
just
recently
the
first
Resistance
game
was
announced
to
be
coming
to
the
Classics
lineup

and
I
assumed
it
would
also
be
emulated,
thus
finally
letting
us
play
Resistance
without
having
to
use
PlayStation’s
terrible
game
streaming
service.
But
no.
Despite
Resistance
being
mentioned
along
the
with
the
other
Classic
titles
and
thus
implying
it
would
be
emulated,
it
was
just
the
streaming
version.

Dear
Sony,
please
start
offering
more
details
so
that
hopes
do
not
need
to
be
smushed.
Sincerely,
me.

The
third
game
joining
the
Classics
lineup
is
a
bit
more
peculiar.
Jak
&
Daxter:
The
Precursor’s
Legacy

is
already
available
to
buy
and
play
,
along
with
several
other
titles
from
the
franchise.
You
can
also
access
the
Jak
&
Daxter
games
by
having
an
active
PlayStation
Plus
Premium
subscription.
The
PlayStation
blog
provides
no
explanation
as
to
why
they
will
have
two
versions
of
Jak
&
Daxter:
The
Precursor
Legacy,
so
we
are
left
to
assume
some
details:
the
existing
Jak
&
Daxter
titles
are
all
PS4
ports
of
the
original
game,
while
this
new
edition
will
probably
run
using
the
new
emulation
tech
and
will
thus
be
fairly
close
to
playing
the
PS2
original.

Sly
2,
Sly
3
and
Jak
&
Daxter
will
arrive
on
December
10,
and
will
be
included
as
part
of
your
Premium
subscription.
