Can you speed run this game on the PS4 with the same skips/glitches?

As far as I'm aware, there's no dedicated version for the PS4. If you're talking about the PS Now version, I believe that is just emulating a different version? (PS2 or PS3?) I know Nero tested the PS Now version when it first came out, and he said it lost a lot of time on loads, so we didn't look too much further into it. Emulators is banned for this game, but PS Now might be different. I'll share this thread with the other moderators, so we'll see what they say as well.

As for the glitches they should all work. What might be different is paraglide clipping, depending on whether it's the PS2 or PS3 version being emulated.

My knowledge is a little limited, so feel free to correct me if something I assume is wrong.

I just got done running Cairo. The glitch high jumps and wall clips seem to work fine. The only major issue I found was the lag you get from streaming the game

Aight so after a quick read-up and asking around, it seems you mean the PS Now version available for PS4 and PC (?), as there is no dedicated PS4 release for any Sly Cooper game. This version streams the PS3 version (either trilogy or standalone, not sure) and was tested by Nero shortly after it came out. He found out that it loses minutes over the original version in loads, but also stated that the streaming delay was acceptable. If you want to run on PS4 or PC using PS Now, submit it as PS3 as it's the PS3 version being played. I would, however, recommend running on PS3 if you want to get serious about the speedrun. (game is literally $10 on the PSN store)

I asked Sharo, and he says the PS Now version should be allowed since it's an official Sony release. Even if it did emulate the PS2/PS3 it wouldn't count as an emulator since it's by Sony themselves. I agree with the statement so I guess we'll go with that.
