[edit] Setting
The world of Sly Cooper is a version of the real world that is populated by anthropomorphic animals, with film noir and comic book motifs. The focus of the story is of Sly Cooper, a young adult raccoon and the latest descendant in a line of master thieves who pass down their expert techniques from generation to generation using the "Thievius Racoonus," a book which contains all the Cooper family's secrets and tricks. While the Cooper family has accumulated a massive amount of wealth through their thieving ways, Sly places greater value on his friendship with his partners, Bentley and Murray, and his flirting and teasing relationship with Inspector Carmelita Fox.

[edit] Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
* Platform: PlayStation 2
* Release Date: September 23, 2002
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, also known as Sly Raccoon in European Countries, was released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2 platform. Sly must recover his family's "Thievius Raccoonus", a book listing all the special thieving skills his family has collected over several centuries, which was stolen by a rival gang, the Fiendish Five, led by Clockwerk, a mechanical Owl-manifestation of evil. Meanwhile, Sly and his gang must keep ahead of Interpol Inspector Carmelita Fox, who promises to one day capture Sly and put him away for his crimes.
[edit] Sly 2: Band of Thieves
* Platform: PlayStation 2
* Release Date: September 14, 2004
Sly 2: Band of Thieves was released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2 platform. In this game, a series of mechanical parts of the shattered Clockwerk have been stolen by the Klaww Gang. Together, they could be used to revive the defeated Clockwerk; separately, they each have super functions. While Sly and his gang follow these leads, they are pursued by Carmelita and her new partner, Constable Neyla, who are after both the Cooper Gang and the Klaww Gang.
[edit] Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
* Platform: PlayStation 2
* Release Date: September 26, 2005
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves was released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 platform, and the most recent installment of the Sly Cooper series. Sly has learned of the Cooper Vault, a gigantic store of the wealth his family's accumulated over the years. He must find a way, however, to defeat Doctor M, who has taken over the island where it is located to try to break into it. Sly must regroup his old gang and recruit new members in order to succeed at reclaiming his family's history, all while still on the run from Carmelita.

Brian Fleming of Sucker Punch Productions stated in an interview that "We're broadening ourselves a little bit, taking on some new challenges," but also noted that "I think it's extremely likely that you'll see us return to the 'Sly Cooper' franchise at some point in the future."[1] An Easter egg found in the Sucker Punch game inFAMOUS shows a movie called "Sly Cooper 4" on the building's marquee; there is also a Sly Cooper symbol on Cole's backpack and back of his pants. Also, a trophy for finding the game's elusive "Dead drops" in one of the sectors awards players with the "You're so Sly" Trophy.
Upon completing all three games as part of the Sly Collection for the PlayStation 3, a movie option is enabled within the game's menus. The movie is a short video showing Sly's silhouette lurking in tall grass, followed by a Sly 4 logo, with Cooper's trademark cane used as a question mark, teasing the possible sequel.[2] In addition, the Platinum Trophy description for Sly 3 as part of the "Sly Collection" is "Unlock all trophies for Sly Cooper's final outing...final? Really?" also hinting at a possible fourth title. As well the voice actor Kevin Miller has reported that he has been contacted about voicing a role in Sly 4, furthering the possibility of a sequel.[3]
