It's hard to believe that Frogwares can improve the Sherlock games, but they are hard at work doing just that! Tale a peek into their latest works The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Testamentof Sherlock.

You can view the screnshots here.

Quote:
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; check out the new screenshots for the first-ever glimpse of the game.

We invite you to discover the first images of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Testament of Sherlock. These images show off the game's engine, which was 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.

A mainstay genre of computer games, this new Holmes game is playable with a gamepad in a third person view, with revamped controls that suit the console. The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes will immerse gamers in 1898 London as they conduct an incredible investigation. All the evidence suggests our hero is 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?

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, players 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.

You are Sherlock Holmes, and this is your investigation. Live a thrilling adventure and foil an incredible conspiracy! The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Testament of Sherlock is coming soon to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC fall 2011.



Happy Gaming!

Very exciting! I wonder how the interface/gameplay for the PC version will differ from the last few games in the series, seeing as how Testament is being primarily developed for PS3 and XBox? The screenshots look impressive.

Frogwares + Sherlock = Happyhappyjoyjoy. laugh

Having so looked forward to another Sherlock from Frogwares, I wonder that too.
I am certainly absolutely useless with any kind of gamepad or joystick eek

Do not worry, this announce is made for the console players so they know the controls are going to fit them perfectly. For the PC, you'll find the 3 cameras, first person, third person and point and click.

blush I too have enjoyed the Frogwares series of the Holmes games, but I have a memory of another announcement. A few months ago there was an announcement of a different "New" Holmes game. I don't remember the name, but there was a trailer showing some children playing in an attic. They open an old trunk and find an old book that seemed to be Sherlock Holme's old diary. Am I nuts? Is this the same game? Was this game cancelled? Any comments would be appreciated.


If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

Sounds alluring, if you can dig up information about that game (or if it's the same one as the one in this thread) then do shout back and let us know. One can never have enough SH.

Well it looks like another great Sherlock game to look forward to. Thanks TheHood for making this one a straight adv game rather than a casual (HOG) game.

Regards,

Barry
