>dozens and dozens of videogames based on the stories of Sherlock Holmes>the only interactivity in any of them is moving Sherlock around and doing basic pixel-hunting>player never directly participates in the deduction process nor solves the hard crime-related puzzles, rather just watches Sherlock and Watson solve them in cutscenesWhy are game developers who license this franchise (isn't it supposed to be public domain by now??) afraid of making an actual brain-meltingly difficult Sherlock Holmes game?
>>729401072because there isn't any money in making normies feel dumb
How do you translate real-world deduction into gameplay? You literally can't. Devs are too dumb to account for the infinite ways a person can deduce something and the way they go about solving a problem. Games can only fake it (like LA Noire).
>>729401072>Hmmmm Clues? Nah i just wanna sleep then beg for food
>>729402993play shadows of doubt then realize eventually AI will be capable of giving NPCs with set characteristics true conversational abilities
>>729403437That'll just end up like Star Trek where the NPC's become sentient and try to kill everyone to get out of it's digital prison
>>729401072but they have good puzzles
>>729403312aren't bloodhounds literally named for their clue sniffing prowess?
>>729403583thats not a bloodhound thats a basset hound, which are known for their food sniffing prowess
>>729403548it already tries to do that its fucking data it cant affect dick unless you let itworst case scenario the NPCs start telling players to refund the game or kill themselves but in a way indistinguishable from a person trying to convince you to do these things
>>729403583That's a basset. They only track small game and are way harder to train. Hence why they're more commonly companion animals instead of being bred for hunting like bloodhounds still are
