Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Rewritten (WIP)

Summary:

In 2005, only a year after the release of Sly 2: Band of Thieves, development studio Sucker Punch released Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves, meant to be a conclusion of the franchise as they moved on to the newer generation of consoles for the hit series "InFamous" and eventually, repeat that process for the next generation with "Ghost of Tsushima". In 2013, Sanzaru, a gaming company who had rereleased the original trilogy on the PlayStation 3 as the "Sly Collection", released a new game in the form of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, with slightly altered gameplay, enhanced models and graphics, and a... Pretty mediocre plot that takes Bentley's comment about making a time machine into sharp focus. I'm here to (try) to redo the whole thing. Simple as that.

Tl;Dr, I'm rewriting Sly 4.

Notes:

This work will NOT read like a fanfic or story. This will instead be formatted as follows.

I will go into detail about gameplay, dialogue, and story beats, but not in a narrative way. Everything will simply be written down as they are to be played out, as if this were what Thieves in Time was, rather than what we've got. Here's how I plan to do everything.

This work will have 9 chapters. The 1st will go over gameplay. 2nd will go over the prologue. 3-8 will go through the five time periods one by one. And 9 will go over the epilogue chapter.
