In Bentley's Hackpack, not every Alter Ego hack ends with a battle.
After defeating the CPU core, Bentley takes control of the system, and the hack is complete. However, after shooting a laser beam the shield falls briefly, allowing you to deal damage. The core periodically forms a shielding barrier around itself. This enemy is hostile and will attack you with a laser beam. In Thieves in Time, an Alter Ego hack is completed by reaching and destroying the overclocked CPU core. They slowly move toward the player and detonate once they are close enough. The third type are translucent blue nano-bots, which are spawned by the CPU core, which only appears at the end of the minigame. They fire one shot at a time, but their shots are non-homing and can be avoided rather easily. Purple nano-cannons are the second type they are fixed onto walls. In 2018, one of the actors, Roger Price, formed a plan involving his other job as an assistant to a law firm. The company grew to where they have hundreds of actors on staff. Though they spawn infinitely, these enemies follow a set path and are destroyed with a single shot. Alter Ego was founded as a service firm where they hire actors to pretend to be people in the lives of their clients for a healthier narrative. There are three types of enemies in Alter Ego, with the standard type being purple nano-bots. Collecting and using one (by pressing ) destroys any enemies or barriers within a short distance of Bentley. Power-ups known as logic bombs appear occasionally throughout the minigame. A single shot of damage drops your level by one. At higher levels, the binary package fires rockets in addition to the standard turret. Collecting five yellow ion bits or one red ion bit increases your level by one. Throughout the minigame, you can collect ion bits to level up.
Your weapon is the "binary package," fired with. The objective is to navigate the adversarial computer system and destroy the CPU core at the end of the level. The music in this minigame is a remix of that from the " Bentley Comes Through" mission from Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.Īlter Ego takes the form of a sidescrolling, twin-stick shooter. It gets its name from the avatar Bentley uses, which is depicted as a muscular, gun-wielding version of himself (i.e. Bentley's Hackpack Alter Ego is a hacking minigame featured in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and Bentley's Hackpack.
