Sly 2's biggest accidental secret

#shorts

To be fair, bright blue ice does look a bit jarring. Sucker Punch could've done a better job though, or this was intentional due to someone being chaotic evil.

Before this gets too popular, I need to state that I'm just spreading awareness of this, I didn't find it myself. Who can really say who found it first? Probably some kid on an early 2000's gamer forum lost to time, but it was posted on r/SlyCooper roughly two years ago, getting an appropriate reaction. It wasn't posted anywhere else, and considering the reaction to this Short, the reddit post didn't have nearly the reach it should've. That's why I made this, to show it off to a wider audience and provide an explanation.

Welp, time to go replay the Sly Trilogy again, for the 30th time.

Played this so many times since release AND THERE'S AN ICE WALL THERE!

[SlyBandOfThievesIsTheBestSly]

The first time I ever get a sly cooper short while scrolling

THIS WOULD’VE HELPED SO MUCH KNOWING THIS AS A KID!!!

[evanoconnell]

Literally just... what? Like my mind is ACTUALLY blown right now.

[noriakikakyoin]

In all of my years I never even entertained the fact that you can use the ice to get up there

24 years later me not knowing there was an ice wall there

IVE PLAYED THIS SERIES SO MANY TIMES SINCE I WAS A CHILD this just completely blew my mind. I wonder if there’s anything else like this. Time to play through again

[DasterDee]

I never knew there was an ice wall there

Honestly considering the code and texture differences from the original, the Sly Trilogy deserves to be remade.




























We do not count Sly 4...

[elielpakkala]

Beaten this game at least 50 times and never knew about this.

[SloodermanSloodin]

It’s one of those things that people probably found as a dumb kid who couldn’t figure out the actual way 😂 the beauty of older platformers

"See you's think the entrance to Zurg's lair would be through the main gate, but the real entrance is to the left, hidden in the shadows."

I discovered this a child because I believed every ice wall was climbable I just wanted to climb

[Cryonix_]

Duuuude WTF?!!
Had this game basically since it came out and never knew about this!

[buckyhurdle]

This gameplay looks so crisp, good capture

[djdk]

The fact that I haven’t touched this game in years and got vivid flashbacks of the frustration of the ice path and trying to find another way is a testament to how well hidden that was. I even remember trying to see if there was a way to just hop on the roof. Guess I gotta replay the trilogy soon

OMFG after more than 10 years playing yearly the series I discover this wow. So glad that we have this strong affection for this Saga. Happy to see you all having the same feelings as me for these games ❤
