Sherlock Holmes today unveiled new screenshots of his ongoing investigation in The Testament of Sherlock Holmes! This big investigation game, developed by Frogwares for Xbox 360®, PlayStation® 3 and PC, shows more through this series of 6 new images we invite you to discover in our Gallery.

Quote:
Sherlock Holmes finds himself yet again in an unpleasant situation, as his investigation leads him to cross paths with disreputable individuals. Even though all the light has not been cast on his doubtful actions, the famous detective is determined to lead the case to the end, while he is still actively sought by British police.

You are Sherlock Holmes, and this is your investigation. Unfold an incredible conspiracy on PS3, Xbox 360® and PC early 2012!

About the Testament of Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes causes a stir! For over ten years, millions of players have donned the hat and magnifying glass of the world’s greatest detective, in a dozen games for PC and handheld systems. This year, Sherlock Holmes makes a triumphant return in his very first adventure specially designed for the PlayStation® 3 and Xbox 360® game consoles! All the mystery and intrigue will also be available on PC.

1898, London. All the evidence of police investigation points at Sherlock Holmes as the main suspect in a case involving theft, fraud and double-crossings. Unable to prove his own innocence, Holmes is rapidly losing London’s trust as doubt spreads through the city like wildfire. Even Doctor Watson's faith in his friend begins to waver, as the famous detective flees Scotland Yard and raises further suspicion; prowling around at night, destruction of evidence... would Holmes go so far as to commit murder?

A mainstay genre of console games, The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is playable with a gamepad in a third person view, with controls thought and specially developed with consoles in mind. The new game engine was also specially built to display complex scenes and high-resolution textures. The game features lush, captivating environments and truly raises the bar for console adventure games.

The complex and decidedly-mature storyline surrounds a particularly tricky investigation, in which each and every puzzle will challenge both insight and wits! As Sherlock Holmes, you will use the detective’s full repertoire: handle and inspect clues, reenact crimes and use the game’s new deduction system to draw your own conclusions. Choose your questioning approach to catch characters off guard and gather valuable information. Players are facing an open investigation, and must decide which leads to follow and which to ignore.


Have a look at the Official Website where you will find also three teaser trailer of the game.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes will be released early 2012.

Enjoy!

Enough!!!

We don't need no more screenshots!!!

We need the game to be released!!!

lol

Thanks Carla

Seriously, the more screenshots and Trailers I see of this game the more it looks to be one, looong, third person cut scene. I wonder if Frogwares has abandoned the first person perspective for this game. Does anyone one know of a preview video showing actual game play in first person? I may have missed it.

Carla,

You must be a mind reader! I have been thinking about this game (maybe because I am reading the new Sherlock Holmes book The House of Silk). I was going to ask if anyone had any idea when this game will be released and then you posted this. Thanks for the info!

By the way, The House of Silk is a very good book.

Like GreyFuss, I was wondering about the point-of-view gameplay... and whether we had previously discussed it. Even though I'm a bigger fan of first-person gameplay, I enjoyed using both the 1st and 3rd person options in "SH vs Jack The Ripper", and have hopes that "Testament" will be the same. Nice to have that choice. But actually walking those old Whitechapel streets from my own point-of-view was the best... very atmospheric.

Thanks MaG

Yes, I remember that post from The Hood, it may have even been in response to a query of mine then. What I think would be a great gameplay video would be the same shots using each of the 3 camera modes. Even though some of the screens released so far and in some scenes of the videos could be seen as first person views I am not sure. I guess this would all be cleared up if there is a pre released Demo but I think it would be neat to see all 3 Cameras in one part of the game. Frogwares are a passionate group of adventure makers always trying new things to help satisfy all gamers

Thank you Carla for the update & link!!!

Greyfuss, I'm guessing from the original releases of The Awakened & Nemesis which used a 1st person perspective that the option to play in that mode will most certainly be available. The only reason that an option to play from 3rd person was introduced was because the 3D panning in 1st person caused motion sickness for a lot of players. Frogwares, caring about this, as well as re-releasing the previous 2 games with the option to play in 3rd person perspective to overcome the problems for some players, released Jack the Ripper with the option, to start with, to switch between 1st & 3rd.

Even in 1st person, in many games, the cut scenes show a 3rd person perspective which often gives you a chance to see the character whose eyes you are playing through. I can't imagine Frogwares going backwards for The Testament & I'm looking forward to it so much!
