Status : Online | Len, without giving anything away, would you say the ending was plausible? I admit that anybody who plays this who just has a cursory interest or knowledge in the Ripper isn't going to be overly concerned about this, but the problem is that Frogwares are now treading into real history, rather than the fantasy world of their previous games and the Ripper buffs will point out each and every distortion or inaccuracy relating to the actual cases.

I agree with you. I just hope that this latter game of the series will be more passable than the previous one which was really,really hard.

| Deleted User | Hey, what’s up with those beta testers? :-?
I take that as a joke, and as one of the beta-testers I don’t take offence.
However, “Don’t kill the messenger”.
Both dates, April 16th (not the 14th incidentally) and sometime in May (I personally wouldn’t count 100% on it being very near to the beginning ???) I obtained from the GameBoomers Forum.
We were told not to contact any other beta testers, (and I have ascertained that there is only one other beta tester from JA+), so I have not done so !
However, I guess that there are several beta-testers for Sherlock/Ripper from GameBoomers, but I have no idea how many or who they are.
Since I think that GB have close contacts with Frogwares, I took their dates as being authentic & official (which I believe they are) and both them & I posted them with good intentions.
