Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper still looking hot photo

Information about Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper hasn't exactly been flowing from Focus Home Interactive. We gather from the press releases that SH vs. JR is an adventure game where you’ll hunt the whore killer with Holmes’ keen detective eye, tools, and brain. This is probably why the latest batch of screenshots of the game appear so, uh, boring.

If I were Jack the Ripper, I wouldn’t bother with the prostitute pictured above. Don’t get me wrong, now -- I’m all for large hookers. However, I believe the time and energy spent on her disemboweling could be put to better use elsewhere. Like knife shopping at the corner store or relaxing at the local pub.

Anyway, Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper looks hot. Check out our gallery for the rest of the images and definitely don’t forget tell us what you’re thinking about the title.

I bet Jack the Ripper was a Sterling.

There haven't been enough fat hookers in video games and I feel that this could be a colossal hoof-like step forward.

And they say video games cultivate negative body images.

DAMN SON! That is one ugly bitch! I hope not all the prostitutes look that ugly in the game. Otherwise Sherlock Holmes should be THANKING Jack the Ripper for helping out the world, by killing ugly chicks.

I hope the game allows more freedom and flexibility in the game to go about your investigation. For example, you could bribe someone, fuck someone, threaten or kill someone, or plant false evidence on someone for information.

When I first saw the picture, I could have sworn that white thing on her shirt was her holding a large sandwich. Although I am slightly bothered by her size, I am more disturbed at how the lighting makes it seem like she's covered in a combination of bacon grease and sweat. Ew.

Anyway, I still look forward to what else this title brings. Hopefully less...people covered in grease and sweat.

Her:
"Pssst, oi, ave u eva add your johnon sucked off wit a nose"

I kinda wonder where they are going with this game as to WHAT you do as it sounds like a big ol investigation type game.

As long as they dont play the predictable Holmes turns out to be The Ripper when he's stoned out of his head on opiates story line i will enjoy this.

I love Sherlock Holmes, but I haven't played any games starring him (recommendations, anyone?)
SH vs JtR sounds pretty awesome, I just hope my old, dying computer can run it.

If the girth of that prostitute is historically accurate, then this explains why the Ripper cut up his victims - he was trying to whittle them down to a manageable size.

My Jack the Ripper fanboyism keeps me interested but Focus Home isn't helping matters. How about an expansion where you play as Jack? QTE disembowling FTW.

That hooker is JTR in disguise, duh. So horribly unattractive that everyone avert their eyes, then he's able to go forth with his crimes.

Hmm I love the Holems character in Arthur Conan Doyle's books. If they get this right I could really enjoy this.

@TheCleaningGuy I would try Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of the Solver Earring. It's the only recent one with a traditional adventure interface.

WTF a fat 18th century prostitute. Do the developers know that being fat was just about impossible in the old days unless you were extremely rich, which ho's aint.
