Hope for Sanzaru and Sly 5 Might be Virtual Reality

I've been bashing Sanzaru Games (makers of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time) quite a bit lately, perhaps undeservedly. It might really be Sony's fault that Sly 5 isn't in the works. Or it might be a profitability concern; Sanzaru is just a company trying to stay in business, after all. Unfortunately, I think that it is probably unlikely that they will make another Sly Cooper game. Sanzaru seems to have spread out from PlayStation to other platforms such as the Oculus Rift (Facebook's Virtual Reality solution), Nintendo 3DS, and the Xbox One. At first glance this appears to be disappointing.

However, an article written by The Japan Times that covered E3 2016 (an annual gaming expo) reported that "​Glen Egan, president and CEO of Sanzaru Games Inc., which provided a sports game for Oculus, predicted virtual reality will establish itself as a gaming mainstay." This all got me thinking; what if Sanzaru is practicing what it takes to develop a virtual reality game because it plans on introducing the technology into Sly Cooper? Sony, of course, attended E3 that year, and took the opportunity to debut their answer to virtual reality gaming: PlayStation VR. Since Sanzaru probably still has a contract with Sony, and the company seems to be interested in Virtual Reality, could they be building the next Sly game around it? I know that sounds far fetched, but it isn't the first time that a Sly Cooper game has tried to implement similar new technologies. When Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves was introduced, some of the levels could be played in 3D with the use of included 3D glasses. With the release of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Sanzaru pushed the PS Vita tie-in and the concept of augmented reality. What are your thoughts on a Virtual Reality Sly Cooper 5? Unrealistic? Awful? Awesome? Am I nuts? Let me know in the comments, and if you found this article interesting, please like and Tweet as it really helps us out!
