Sly trilogy ps3

Hey, I am new to speed running in general and thus would like to see someone run sly 1 any% with the same copy as I am using. I own it on my ps3 the remastered european sly trilogy. I just want to see the route being used for this copy of the game.

Kind regards xxdestroyer420

If you go to the main leaderboards you can check the filters to only show runs listed as PSN. Filter -> Platforms -> PSN Download. While this platform is named PSN Download, that is merely a name preset and we just stash all runs done on the remaster together as PSN Download, as PS3 is "reserved" for runs done on BCPS3. The best time on PSN is 1:02:27 by Oggy: https://www.speedrun.com/sly1/run/z0e46o4m

The trilogy disc version is likely the slowest version out there as the game restarts are much longer, as well as a notable pause between any dialogue in cutscenes (the case for Sly 2 and onwards, I assume it's that way in Sly 1 as well). As for digital versions, the NTSC version is slightly faster than the PAL version due to H&S skip, which allows for slightly faster game restarts (skips the health & safety warning every time you start the game).

I made a quick written guide that was basically instantly outdated from a big rule change which basically made all PS2 versions like 7 minutes faster, but I guess it might still be of use: https://goo.gl/SY8UJL
