Thanks Becky, if it's as good as The Awakened we're in for a treat!

Thanks, Becky

WOOHOO...Another pre-order

Thank-You so much for that great news besides Nancy drew this is next to do on my list
thanks again Becky for all the wonderful work you do here in gameboomers

I'm trying to find the system specs for this game, but I can't find it on the TAC site.

It looks like TAC hasn't put up the Sherlock vs Jack webpage yet. I'll see what I can find out.

Thanks Becky , This is wonderful , I loved The Awakened so I been looking forward to this one. I will diffently preorder it from Dave when he puts it up for preorder, which he hasn't done yet.

Thanks Becky. Let us know when you find out anything.

Cathy

Thanks Becky. Great news.

Thank you Pollo. I can't wait for this game.

Cathy

Thanks. Looks great. Havent played a Sherlock before. This will be the one I think.

Can we pre order this with Interact? Thanks Becky the way you write that review takes away all my willpower and all I can think of is the words "buy"

One question from what I have read this can either be played in 1st person, or 3rd person. Since I had so much trouble with motion sickness in the Awakening until they fixed it, I am curious that means motion sickness shouldn't be a problem right?

Sherryah -- from what I've read, most people who had motion sickness problems with the first person viewpoint, were able to play the third person version without a problem. However, there's no way to guarantee that it wouldn't be a problem in any specific individual's case.

Sherryah, I'm sure Dave will get this. He generally does not put games up for pre-order until it has a definite release date.

Ana

Looking forward to this one.
And thank you Dave for being there and always making us happy.

RAL

I did confirm with Dave and he did state that he would have it for preorder when he gets a firm release date.

Ana

Thanks Ana and Becky. I will take a chance and buy it and hope it doesn't affect motion sickness again.

Thanks Ana and Becky, will order from Dave when he has it. Screenshots are great. I recently went on a night-time ghost tour around parts of London and the back streets still look like this, especially in the dark...

That sounds like a perfect preparation.

thanks Becky. Looking forward to play the game.Sali

Thank you very much, Becky. I have just finished The Awakened and Nemesis and can't wait to start a new one.

Hi Inspector Grant and welcome to GameBoomers!

Hello Becky - thank you for the welcome

New screenshots to be seen on the official site HERE.

Beautiful! Thanks Carla.

Great stuff Carla, thanks !!

Sounds great, wanted to sign up for beta, but figured it would ruin the purpose of playing the game, it looks very promising just as the previous titles be frogwares were.

Thanks Carla

I am excited about this one .

Interact now has "Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper" available for pre-order for $19.95, plus shipping (shipping varies according to where you live). It is supposed to be available April 16th. I pre-ordered mine yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive! Hopefully, there won't be any delays or anything!

Thanks Call1e, it was announced here.

Enjoy!

Ana

Nice screen shots.

Cathy

Oh, sorry. I didn't see the other post about it already being available for pre-order.

Thanks Becky, Sounds amazing. I've been waiting for a great Sherlock adventure for a while. I was just wondering if anyone knew if this was coming out on steam. I also found pre-order available for it on Newegg with free shipping if anyone is interested.

Thanks +Oblivion+ -- I don't know about Steam, but the game will very likely be available at The Adventure Shop for download. Have you ever ordered from Newegg? Can you recommend them?

I actually ordered all the parts for my Gaming PC from newegg, they have some great deals there. I only hope it comes out on steam because I get good downloading speeds from them and they're my reliable downloading source.

Thanks!

Theres a couple of threads on JustAdventure about the game includuing some descriptions from one of the beta testers of the sordid East London whitechapel district in the late 1880s.Including pathetic prostitutes wandering the streets at night and frequenting a brothel and the hideous maniacal brutal murders commited by jack the Ripper.All realistic and distastefu but revealing.

We tried to do Whitechapel as it was at this time, it's a tough challenge, but so far the beta reports were very positive about the atmosphere.

I very much wanted to have been able to be a beta-tester
on this game, seeing that I have a large book collection
on the ripper case, but unfortunately I wasn't chosen.
Knowledge on the subject does not seem to be an
advantage when applying for beta-testing

I have to say that is disappointing
I will (eventually) play the game, I guess.
But I am a patient man

We received hundreds of applications to beta test the game, sorry we didn't chose you, but there is nothing personal in this.

Re: NewEgg: I used to order from them. Then one time I preordered a game (about 1-1/2 years ago). They never replied to my emails; the game came out in stores! and they still didn't have it available. I called and they were very unconcerned and I cancelled my order.

Becky, I've been thinking about what game to get and your screen shots did it for me. Will this being going out to stores or do you have to buy it over the internet? I've had one bad experience and am very hesitant of doing business over the net.

It'll be a TAC release so it should be available everywhere.
