Quote:
In Crimes & Punishments, become Sherlock Holmes and use your impressive talents as a detective to solve six thrilling and varied cases: murders, missing persons, spectacular thefts and numerous investigations that sometimes lead you into the realms of the fantastic. The great freedom of action in Crimes & Punishments allows you to conduct your investigations in the manner you deem appropriate. Choose the leads you wish to pursue, interrogate your suspects and, from your deductions, name the guilty parties... and determine their fate wisely, as surprising consequences may arise where you least expect them.

His skills, your wits. Become Sherlock Holmes from September 30 when Crimes & Punishments releases on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

About Crimes & Punishments
Crimes & Punishments marks the most important stage in the Sherlock Holmes series. The decision by Frogwares studios to switch from the in-house engine to the Epic Unreal Engine 3 enables a much richer, more immersive and detailed rendering of both the environments and characters.

But the change of game engine has not only improved the graphics; new investigation techniques have been developed and the game can now offer 14 game mechanics. From the opening of each of the six investigations up to the arrest of the culprits and the moral dilemmas faced by the players, the new game mechanics convey the feeling of BEING Sherlock Holmes. Players will therefore be able to exploit the incredible gifts and talents for which he is renowned, such as his ability to guess the details of an individual's life simply by observing them, or to imagine and reconstruct a past event by studying the key features of a crime scene.





Happy Gaming!

I pre-ordered the game in Amazon, it has a coupon for $10 to buy something sold and shipped by Amazon. These kind of coupons do not last for ever, normally until the last day of the month, since it comes out the 30th I hope it last until the end of October think. They are good for people who buy a lot there.

mcc and kjos (or anyone else)

Have you used this coupon before? I have never paid attention to those boxes. What does the following mean (copied from the Amazon help section regarding coupons)?

"The coupon applies only to qualifying items displaying the coupon offer in your Coupon Book and on the item detail page."

Is the coupon only good for certain items (like only a few things)? What is the "Coupon Book" mentioned?

I will not pay $40 for the game but will go with $30 if I can use the coupon.

Google Amazon coupons. There are a lot of access to those coupons but I am not familiar with them to know if they are safe or if there are more stuff attached to them.

Thanks kjos and MaG.
MaG, I don't think the stuff showing up on google is what this is. I read on Amazon's site about their coupons/promo codes but was hoping somebody who has used it can clarify it a little better.

Press copies went out and likely were shared with those that recorded it. It has not been officially released yet.

The coupons are good for "everything sold and shipped by Amazon" not third parties. Most things Amazon sells fall in this category, the only "negative" thing I have found is that are good for a limited time only, in general until the last day of the month that they are issued. I buy a lot in Amazon then is not problem for me, it could be an issue for people who only buy there occasionally.

In this case I don't know until this coupon will be valid since the game is released the last day of the month.

The day the game is released Amazon sends you a coupon number that you can introduce as a discount at check out, sometimes it goes directly and applies to the next purchase. I used it many times with no issues.

Thanks mcc for that information. Sounds like a good deal then! I think I will go ahead and place my preorder while I still can. I have some other things I want so I'll be able to use the coupon.

Good oldbroad ! It would be wise to check the dates on it, I have never bought one game released the last day of the month. The computers may decide to put the coupon good until 30th of September as crazy as it may be slapforehead

Edited 9/29, my game is already shipped and the coupon will be applied directly as credit to may account. Good until February.

Playing now and the graphics are out of the world. Just like your watching a movie. Don't know how the auto-saves work. Is it ok if I talk about the game?

Go ahead, Richard. laugh Glad you're enjoying the graphics. They're certainly something.

Remember that any plot spoilers should be placed in spoiler brackets, out of consideration for those who haven't yet played the game. thanks

Not much to talk about Rushes. I'm at the crime seen. Lot to do there. The auto-save seems to work good. How do I use spoiler brackets? Nothing to not to like about this game. In time I'm sure everybody playing the game will need some help.

To use spoiler brackets, click on the "Switch to Full Reply Screen" button, and then on the loudspeaker icon you see above the message panel. Type your spoiler text between the two sets of brackets that'll appear in the message panel. smile

To anyone who has received the disk version - is it DRM free? Or does it require you to connect to Steam?

Once it's activated, does the disc have to remain in the drive for gameplay?

How about the download version, does it also require an internet connection for activation?

I haven't installed the game Uncle Reg, or even opened the package, so I don't know if the disc is required in the drive to play or not. Sorry.

Thanks for the info, oldbroad. Do you know if the game has limited activations, or does it only need to be activated once, and you're good to go?

That's all right. If you get the chance maybe you could let us know when you install the game? smile I'm in no hurry, as I won't be able to play it on high settings until I get a better graphics card anyway. smile

There is no activation limit, there is no DRM. Also what is your graphic card, so I can tell you what settings you will have?

Ha.
Someone at Frogwares is a fan of Christopher Plummer.
Check out this video of the story Silver Blaze, and start at 3:00.
Their new rendition of Holmes looks too much like him for it to be a coincidence.

Hello Venus and Everyone!

I agree, the game won't run in High setting with your current video card.

We are working on a patch to allow more flexibility with average comp configurations, I'll let you know.

Thanks

Online activation is DRM. So is Steam.

The patch Wael spoke of is already here:

There is a beta branch on Steam
(I know very few of you are huge fans of the platform).

This beta branch should allow you to play the game, however, we don’t guarantee performances or absence of crashes as the wide range of hardware covered in this patch cannot allow a perfect optimization for low end or hybrid video adapters.

We will monitor in the next days tech support and steam support to finalize the patch and launch it on the main branch of the game.

To play the beta version please follow the instruction

1. Select Crimes and Punishments in your game library on Steam
2. Select properties
3. Select the Beta tab
4. In the “select the beta you opt into” choose Public_Beta

The configurations covered for this patch are below, players with other configurations having no problem launching the game don’t need to opt into the beta branch.

• Intel Graphics Adapters (all)
o The game now may be launched on any Intel integrated adapter (HD and higher were tested)
o Any Intel integrated adapter (if it's the only one in the system) will force the game to run in DX9 mode and auto detect Low graphics settings

• NVIDIA Optimus
o The game now may be launched on NVIDIA Optimus systems
o The game will correctly auto detect graphics settings and DX version depending on the model of high performance graphics adapter installed in the system

• AMD Switchable Graphics
o The game now may be launched on AMD Switchable Graphics systems

• Windows XP
o The game now may be launched on Windows XP

I agree, both online activation and Steam are DRM. I think I will wait to purchase it at a discount later, and I'll just do it through Steam as it's going to insist on connecting anyway. Maybe by then, I'll have upgrading my graphics card once more. smile Thanks for the patch, though. If I still haven't upgraded my card by the time I do buy the game, I'll go ahead and try it out. smile

Just wanted to say how much I like the look of this latest Frogwares "Sherlock" character. It is the most like my own personal visualisation of him that I have ever seen in a game thumbsup

I have the disk version for a PC and you must use Steam in order to activate the game but can be played off line.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I just wanted to give an update on my situation. Since I got a belated Amazon gift card for Christmas, I decided to go ahead and purchase Crimes and Punishments along with some other things, just to see if it would work. So far, everything runs smoothly for me, even at the highest settings. So I guess my current video card is enough for it after all. Very happy I can play this game now! happydance
