World Record and first 4:45 in Sly 2 Any%!! After over six months straight of grinding, I'm so proud of this run. Skipped 4:46 :P

This is the best photo ever produced by mankind

There was a patch and this issue has been fixed as long as you turn off Enhancements in the emulator settings (by hitting Options). Thank you to everyone who spread this around. It took a long time but I’m glad it’s fixed now.

PS4 version of Sly Cooper 1 runs almost 10% faster than it should, resulting in it feeling very different and bad. This issue is not present w/ PS5 version. This video shows the Mz Ruby boss fight where the music is wildly out of sync bc of this. Please spread around and plz fix

Huge PB/WR in Sly 4 Any% with a clutch at the end to get the 4:24! Skipped 4:26 and 4:25, so proud of this run.

@SatanSeriously Yeah it is

@TheStormSage It isn’t though. This is the PS2 version and the issue is far far worse than the collection’s. Sucker Punch isn’t responsible either but at that point I didn’t know how else to get anybody’s attention (we’ve gotten it reported now though)

@Bvr_GG @SuckerPunchProd I believe this issue is a result of the Sanzaru Games, who made the remaster collection for the PS4. as well as Sly 4: Thieves in Time

@FaddenSrgt Since the PS4/PS5 release, early yesterday morning. Clock speed problem is only with the PS4 version though

@Bvr_GG Eww….I can hear it in my head how it should go and it’s clashing hard with what I’m seeing. How long has it been like this?

@ThatGuyBwarch @ScrewyClassic PS3 Ruby is offset (by a smaller amount) but the PS5 version works fine yeah. The PS4 issue isn’t localized; every gameplay segment runs extremely fast. Ruby is just the example I used.

@Lumenights_ I’d say the difference is too big for that to be the reason, and the PS5 version’s gameplay runs at the correct speed.

@PSP_Marquez It’s an official emulation of the original PS2 game w/ no known (intended) alterations other than removing a bonus unlockable cutscene, presumably for licensing reasons.

@Bvr_GG Is this one of the straight ports or a port of the trilogy Sanzaru worked on? The PS3 versions were also way out of sync and even missing music tracks (like the entrance to Mz Rubys lair when the gator mouth is chomping has a unique theme.)

@Robin_E94 The HD Collection’s discrepancy is much smaller since that version only runs 1.7% faster, so it’s way worse now (and is noticeable everywhere, even outside the Ruby fight)

@Bvr_GG The HD collection had the same issue. I remember having to mute this fight cause it was so distracting.

@tabreezsiddique Yes

@alxhorizon @nocontextsly At the moment we don’t know of any other differences between the two versions. Overall the PS5 one seems to be very good other than limited analog stick directions (which is present in both)

@Bvr_GG @nocontextsly whats the difference between the ps4 and ps5 version other than this bug? because i wanna have a clean experience but also have better rendering :p

@EmilDubas Yeah, 100%’d tonight and it’s the same for me. Maybe it’s possible they changed the requirement to Platinum trophy, but I’m just speculating, it might just be not unlockable.

“Same” regarding this issue. There are differences as Stevens mentioned

@XevenstevensX @Jaguar32X Just timed PAL in Hazardous Path and it’s the same as NTSC-U, both PS4 versions run 10 seconds faster in that 2:12 level compared to PS2 disc

@Jaguar32X seems the same on PAL. Here and in gameplay elsewhere

@SmashCrafter321 We're gonna need to figure out what to do (I'm a speedrunner) but it's definitely not gonna be allowed on an even playing field, at the least.

@Bvr_GG You think speedrunners might use this for a new record? Or is this kinda nonsense already banned?

@LunarVulpes Sorta but it’s far worse. The Ruby fight is just where it can be easily demonstrated, but the game is sped up everywhere by a lot

@Bvr_GG Oh my god this is STILL an issue?? its been a thing since the Sly Collection

@pocketsTW It’s much worse than the HD collection, as well. The game’s speed increased slightly on the collection (1.7%) which caused the desync, but on this release the difference it’s so drastic it’s noticeable everywhere in gameplay

@Bvr_GG It's wild that this wasn't fixed in this re-release when this is a bug that has been well documented for almost 15 years since the PS3's HD Collection.
