I wonder if the interrogation sequences will be like L.A. Noire?

Legendary.

For a company who, by Justin McElroy's account, does NOT know how to show their games at E3, this trailer was surprisingly well-done. I'm intrigued.

I haven't listened to the shows yet but reading these comments makes me SUPER-excited for another great McElroy-Sherlock -story.

So has anyone actually played any of these games? Might be down for a decent puzzle-adventury thing.

@benmo316, yeah! I could definitely do with more L.A. Noire-style investigations. Haven't been stoked to check out a Sherlock Holmes game since the Cthulhu one, but this has my interest.

Yo, that was a great trailer. Really digging the music and the interesting camera cuts.

It is super awesome how much extra attention this game has gotten because Justin McElroy can tell funny stories about the preview events.

I was going to buy this just because McElroy sold everyone on it last night. HOW could you not want to check this game out after that story. But then this trailer sealed it. It actually looks like it might be a decent game.

This is currently $10 off on Amazon for PS4 right now. ($49.99). Every other version is $59.99. Better pre order that, oh wait let me skip this real quick. Guilty.

As a Sherlock Holmes fan I'd say these games do a pretty good job portraying classic Sherlock Homles and Watson. These fill my Holmes need more then any of these modern takes on the character.

Yah this is up there with some of the better AAA game trailers. I especially liked the music and the editing fit in perfectly.

McElroy might have sold me on this.

Watson has an axe. What. Really interesting trailer. I've played all Frogware's SH games, the last one was par for the course: beautiful-looking with sort of clunky puzzle solving gameplay. I'm curious if they have changed/improved the gameplay in this one or just put out kickass trailer.

Its not that they dont know but games like Sherlock, The witcher and Civ cant have any justice in 15min presentations. Check some skyscrapers falling down in a huge explosion at Battlefield hardline if you want the shallow stuff E3 is all about.

At this point JMac should be getting paid by their PR department.

Also that was actually a pretty great trailer.

@markwahlberg:

I played The Testament of Sherlock Holmes and loved it, despite the clunky controls. There's less of you really solving the crime, and more of you solving game puzzles. But, I had a great time with it nonetheless.

You are able to piece together what's going on by way of a "deduction board". Basically, you take some clues of what's going on and deduce that something must be true because of it.

This game (Crimes and Punishments) is going to be better, with better controls and better graphics.
