Stop the presses, people have different opinions! (Incorrect use of the Gif sir)
As for the movie, it all looks pretty great, except Murray, who looks terribad.

Dreamworks face.
I don't see Sly Cooper there... Oh wait
Edit: I completely agree with the Dream works face mentality

Edit: Herp derp helps if I actually read the copy that was posted. That answers if Clockwerk is going to be in it.

this is actually concept for Jak And Daxter Reboot The Movie: The Game. lol
I'd love a Jak IV but I'm glad that never actually came to fruition if that's what it'd look like.

I'd love if they just took that design and make new IP out of them. I actually really like the design.

Agreed. Don't like how it looks at all.

I always thought a Sly movie/show would work best in the style of the games' cutscenes. Ah well.

Seems like a waste of money would love a sly 5 Instead.
Im sure were getting it still
I'm sure we can expect Dimitri to appear, complete with some Greasy Sweet music.

I'm skeptical too, but damn, at least wait to see it before calling it garbage.
The movie's plot from the OP seemed to somewhat follow the events of the first game. If that's the case Dimitri isn't showing up in this movie unless they retcon or make some half ass attempt to shoehorn him into it.
The trailer's comedy was fine. Seeing Bentley's eyes was really weird. Sly's voice sounds odd as well and I still maintain that he looks really baby faced and there's something off with the way he looks but nothing awful. Murray looks godawful though, looks almost like some stereotypical white trash character especially with that wifebeater. Jesus.
I agree. Why couldn't they just use the original designs? Maybe they wanted to make it their own unique style, but Murray looks bad. They should have done it like the first game:

What in the divine fuck did they do to these characters?
I would have loved to see a high quality cel-shaded feature film in the style of the games. IMO the character designs have always walked a fine line stylistically due to the proportions of the bodies matched with the cartoon animal faces. The new CGI designs just take it way too far with the realism and it's getting pretty uncanny valley.
Which is a shame seeing as how close to the original vision the Ratchet movie is looking. This looks...not as good.

I considered that, but these same guys are making the Ratchet movie and that has Dr. Nefarious in it despite being an origin story that roughly follows the plot of the first game as well.

Why does Sly wear a mask over his natural fur-pattern mask?

I didn't know there was a Sly movie in the works. Infamous next?
That's the joke.

I like it!
Murray's redesign is pretty bad, Bentley doesn't bother me but something seems off about Sly. He looks a bit "realistic" to me.
That's expected. Can't remember the last animated film to not be in 3D.

has there been any mainstream cell shading movie in US? seems like all the kid CG movies from Pixar, Dreamworks, Sony Pictures etc are all use the usual 3d lool, not cell shading. I think dead space straight to dvd use cell shading. but again, that's not showing in theaters .
Murray oh jesus.
I think everything else looks alright though.
I don't see the problem here.
I think this would have been one of those Neogaf specific issues if it would have happened.

Ugh that's awful. Why do they feel the need to fuck up a story.

I'm having a really difficult time understanding anyone thinking this (or Ratchet and Clank for that matter) makes a good wide-release movie. Who is their target audience exactly? Children have no clue of these franchises... so I guess mid-20's males? How many 20-something guys do you know that are dying to see an animated CG film? .... Sony wtf are you doing
Came expecting this, left satisfied.
Why would children need to know what the franchise is?
Uh, quite a lot actually. Especially with movies like Frozen making them more worthwhile.
I think this was a perfect teaser. It still has the same type of dialogue and humor from the games, and for people complaining about the redesign - come on, they're going for a wide audience, not just gamers. The Pixar-y/Dreamworks-ish look is for casual people and kids to see and realize "oh, that's the new animated flick coming out." I laughed when someone here was disappointed it wasn't cel shaded.

I think anyone wanting more Sly games should love this development. Animated movies sell (as as been mentioned earlier) like crazy. The more money this makes, the more value the Sly franchise has. The more value the Sly franchise has, the more likely Sony are to make more Sly games.

that's the point, to expand their userbase from the 20 something guys who already know the franchise and then get young kids to get to know them too. the more kids who are exposed to the character because of the movie, the better chance they have to get those kids playing the game .

Looks pretty cool, but they completely butchered Murray.
