Hush! Don't Tell Anyone

Thanks Becky!

Ana

Excellent news! Yes, Mitre Square does exist in London's East End!

Bernie

Ooh, love the screenshots. Looks dark and spooky. Thanks Becky!

Steph

Looks good, I hope the new game will be more like The Awakened than Nemesis.
If anyone asks, I wasn't here!


Bernard

I didn't look, nope, not me, must have been my evil twin...

I have Blinders on, so I don't know what your talking about I promise not to Peek

I shall never talk.... Neeeeever!!!

Oh !!!! Becky...

I seen nothing

Thanks...

Ohh seems great..but already have a date for release?

Love Maria

Winning combination, those two: The detective extraordinaire vs. The elusive killer (it's about time, don't ya think?). A new mystery set in London's darkened, fog-shrouded alleys & streets?? ... be still my anxious heart!!

I've been hoping for some kind of sequel-like game to Adventure Co's 2004 "Jack the Ripper" (where we're left with the knowledge that JTR has --yet again-- eluded capture. And as we stare out from a NY port, wonder if he's gone back to London).

Hi

Normally I would be forced eat the incriminating paperwork ....

Or else I would have been sent a tape that would self destruct once read ....

Guess I'll just have to imagine I saw those two great screenshots !!!!

Thanks Becky

Cheers.

Mad

I know nothing, saw nothing & look forward to playing nothing hoping that it is not too whizzy.

I will be pushing up the daisies and joining the choir invisible.

(Shamelessly ripping off Monty Python).

Oh, those are interesting screen shots AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH! *thump*

Sherlock who?

I have no idea what you are talking about....?

POW lightning bolt for lying....

Koalanut

Bets

Thanks Becky for the great news and screenshots that I Never saw.

I can't wait to get this game that i didn't just see right now!

What game?

The screenshots are really atmospheric and spooky! Thnxs Becky. (I hope that this game won't be SO difficult as Nemesis).

Of course my lips are sealed, Becky.

Thanks Becky

It wasn't me... but if it had been me the screenshots are so spooky.

Linda

Two screen shots? What a tease. I will definately be coming back for more scoop on this new Sherlock adventure. Thanks again Becky.

Didn't notice the frogwares link Wednesday (the 11th)... probably was so intent on viewing the screenshots that I was blinded by excitement. Frogwares seems --mostly-- to put out 3rd person games... unlike the "JTR" game from 2004 which was in 1st person. So there probably won't be much of a 'sequel' feel to it (as I was hoping). Even so... can't wait to see more about this adventure.

Carrie -- The most recent Sherlock Holmes games (The Awakened and Nemesis) were in first person. In fact, Frogwares has been working on an interface that will allow the gamer to choose between first person or third person, depending on their preference.

Sorry -- what was the "JTR" game? Oh, the previous Jack the Ripper game by Galilea.

I accidently clicked this thread but I certainly did not look at any screenshots or read any posts. Sherlock who?

... and for that correction Becky. I based that (errant) statement on my memory of "Silver Earring" alone.

Thumbs Up to Frogwares. Of all the things discussed here about game 'druthers', this one (preference of 1st vs. 3rd person perspective) seems to stir up more discussion. If any developer accomplishes this, it's sure to bring both 1st and 3rd person fans to the cash register to buy the same games... and make us all happy. And what a much nicer gameworld that would be!

(Yup... that's the one... Jack the Ripper, Galilea)

Thanks Becky for the great news and the wonderful screenshots, I found them very interesting
oh!!!, I almost forgot

mums the word

Ah gee I was really needing a work break and

looks around ... still alive




Edit: Forgot to add that if I HAD seen anything here, and IF Becky had an extremely cool exclusive look at a new SH game - wow looks great

But nothing to see here folks move alone

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Screen shots ? What screen shots? I dint see no stinkin' screen shots.

What's this thread about again?

Who is Sherlock and is he in the Watson's Holmes? Never heard of him...

1680 hits so far with only 40 posts. Hmmmmmm, that executioner will have his hands full tracking down all those unknown viewers. Better call Sherlock for some help.

Oh my g*d! I still havent finished the first one or even started on the second one. The first one is just too hard and print on the books are just too small to read. Is the second one like that? Cause if it's not then I'll just play that..

I can't wait for this game. (wish there were screenshots )

I don't remember having trouble reading the print anywhere in Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis. I did have a bit of trouble reading the print on certain reports in Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, but it was (for me) only a minor issue.

In the awakened, almost at the beginning u have to do some reading but I couldnt read the writing..

In The Awakened, as I recall, the "Reports" appeared to have been scanned into the game, and they were somewhat fuzzy. I could read them, but it took some concentration. The "Documents" (the vast majority of the reading) and the recorded Dialogs were much easier to read.

It was really bad in The Awakened. Half the documents were in a really small and fuzzy font, and I couldn't read them. This made the map puzzle unsolveable for me since I couldn't read the coordintes. How it got past beta testing is beyond me.

There is a bit of reading in Nemesis, but the writing is mostly clear. There was one point where I had trouble understanding Holmes' joined writing, but it was only one document.

Hello, we are sorry for the Awakened documents, we made everything for very good player eyes at 1280*1024 resolution, if resolution was changed it was not as good and blurry.

We remade all documents in all 13 languages for the remastered version, so people won't have to suffer anymore to read the docs.

Thanks thehood! It's great that you listen to the players.

Ana

All the documents in 13 languages? Woa.

Hey, Frogwares is my favourite Adventure developer, and I'm waiting in drooling anticipation for this game.

Keep that secret info coming, guys! We promise we won't tell anyone!

That's great to hear about the improved font.

Now I'm waiting forward for the next game.
