[Poseidon]

From what I've been told, I hear this game is more complex than the others.

[thekay]

Yay- I can't wait for the new game- and I hope it's a tough one... not that I like to get stuck and fail miserably at games though- I just like the the feeling of beating something that is difficult. What does everyone else feel about making the CSI games more complex (or difficult)?

[Dangerzone]

i found out about the miami game form a card in the miami season 2 dvd set
but then ubisoft has never been good at feeding hype over these games by giving us info about them
i was the first one to get the word out about 3 Dimensions of murder but i suggest everyone to do what i did
i put myself on ubisofts contact list so when a new game is announced they send me a link to a news article via email
here is the link to sign up

for those of you who have not seen the original article the link still works
http://ubi.com/US/News/Info.aspx?nId=3557
i have found some other info on this game, but i recieved this info from a underground site and cannot post a link (sorry )
i found that the game is being developed for ps2, pc, and xbox360
this means the format is advanced it will be contained on a single dvd-9 disc
this means that the game will be in full 3d and i mean full 3d as in full levels you can walk around in (not just pan around)
from the shots i saw they are making a complete digital csi lab using the tv stage set as a refrence you can walk around and see each room and detail
(right down to the big mouth billy bass above grissoms door)
this also means there will be more than 5 cases
how may is still unknown but they have over 10 scripts for diffrent cases and counting
it seems that they are going for graphic quality as oppsed to game length
so a safe number to count on is about 15 to 20 cases but i may be wrong
you now take the form of one of any of the primary cast (sanders included)
and have a couple other cast members alongside you
who you play and who you work with changes for each case
i will give more details soon maybe in a few days
i have a lot more info than what is listed above but i will only post what i have found to be fact
(my sig is proof of just how much i know )
i may post some stuff i have not verified but i will mark it as such
but everything above has been varified by ubisofts press release

and as for what you asked kay i want long hard games because i want my money to be worth it and there is only 1 game a year and this game will be worth it

[Dangerzone]

as i wrote in my earlier post i have a lot of inside info on this new game
too much to simply make a list of it all
so i want to know what you would like to see in the new game (a wish list)
then i will tell you what i know (ex..cases, characters, release date, etc...)
i also want your feedback on this game and what i post
if you just have a general question you can ask it too

p.s. i know a lot but not everything so do not bite my head off if i do not have an answer and also keep in mind this is software it will go through revisions some will be after the game is released (patches) so some info may be a little off on the small details but it should be on point enough for you to see what i write here in the final version
and please do not write out "Three Dimensions of Murder" or "the new game"
write "TDOM" or "TDM" we will know what you mean

[Poseidon]

I remember seeing forerunners of it when I received CSI:2.

[Poseidon]

My computer doesn't have an attachment for DVD's . Will I be able to play it without it?

[Shocker]

They will make it in both formats. A lot of people still don't have a DVD rom in their computer. Hell, even I don't have one in my main computer, however I do have a DVD burner in my laptop.

[Dangerzone]

sorry to have to break this to you but i have heard nothing about a pc version just the ps2 and xbox360 versions
this does not mean there will not be a pc version just that i have not heard nothing about one yet (wich is odd ) and as for a computer version
they are making a lot of new games for the computer on dvd format
if they put csi:tdm on regular cd's they would have NINE of them
but they are making the game for xbox360 and ps2 so the game will be formatted on 8.5 gb
and i do not know what version to get
i want the platform version because the graphics will be better
(i have a 60" lcd hdtv)
but i like to be able to interface with a mouse to move around and click things
i guess i will buy what ever version just looks and plays better
oh and computer dvd rw drives are getting cheeper and they are easy to install (mine was 80$)
and they also have external dvd drives as well that link to your computer via usb so you do not have to open your computer and hardwire it to install it
i will ask my friends if a pc version is being developed as well as what format it will be on and keep everyone here updated

Ubisoft announces new CSI game: 3 Dimensions of Murder
Wednesday, 9th November 2005

London, UK – November 8, 2005 – Today, Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced the latest CSI video game, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: 3 Dimensions of MurderTM, to come out of their exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with CBS Consumer Products for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) video games. CSI: 3 Dimensions of MurderTM will be based on the characters and storylines from the original hit television series CSI, and will launch worldwide for PC in spring 2006. This is the third release in the CSI video game franchise.

Developed by Telltale Games, CSI: 3 Dimensions of MurderTM will continue the authentic experience of Ubisoft's popular CSI video games. Players will work alongside Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows and the rest of the original Las Vegas cast to help solve intense cases and investigate crimes using cutting-edge techniques and real-world forensic equipment. CSI: 3 Dimensions of MurderTM improves upon the successful core design concepts of previous CSI games, featuring an all-new, real-time 3D engine, enriched character interactions and animations, and longer, more immersive stories.

"CSI: 3 Dimensions of MurderTM will build upon the success of the previous CSI games with fresh new episodes that fans of the show will truly enjoy," said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. "We take the crime-solving team back to Vegas in a gorgeously rendered 3D environment complete with all the forensic science, tools and technology that players love to use; they will feel like they are part of the Las Vegas team!"

CSI is the top-rated show on network television and won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Dramatic Series in 2003 and 2004. The CSI franchise published by Ubisoft has sold more than 1.5 million units worldwide since the first CSI title was released in March 2003.

Ubisoft has also published CSI: Crime Scene InvestigationTM as well as CSI: Dark Motives and CSI: MiamiTM. CBS Consumer Products manages the worldwide licensing, merchandising and video activities for these properties.
