Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is going to be released for the Vita as well as the PlayStation 3. The stealth platformer will come out simultaneously on both platforms and will feature cloud save support on both platforms. Your PS3 save will download via the cloud and let you continue progress on the Vita. Save that progress and it will be available to download back on your PS3 to resume when you get home.
As if that nifty little feature wasn’t enough, the Vita version will feature the same graphics and gameplay as its home console variant. The only difference between the two versions seems to be that the developer is making use of the Vita’s touch surfaces in some way for the portable version. Carmelita Fox has also been announced as a playable character by Glen Egan, President of Sanzaru Games.
Here’s the trailer for the Vita version:

Really loving the look of this. If it comes with bonus features and looks on par with the PS3 version, I’ll definitely grab this for the Vita.

This whole cross game save is really very nice. Now if only Sony where to offer a discount for buying both…………[fingers crossed]

This is cool but don’t think i would have the money to shell out for two copies, as someone said here in the comments a free digital version with the hard copy would be sweet.
Also, do you have to be paying for the ps+ in order to make use of the cloud functionality?
