In the sinking city (game from the same developer) theres a movie poster that says "sherlock holmes and the mystery of creepy watson" as a easter egg to this video
One time while playing in first-person version, I was crouched down looking for something. I made the mistake of turning around while still crouched, and found myself face-to-crotch with Watson...oops...

Very old comment of yours but fun fact: the algorithm to move Watson around is actually the same one used in the original Slenderman Game to spawn Slenderman just outside your line of sight.
Really is. Someone just went "I don't feel like programming walking animations and pathfinding today" and coded him to teleport in the most noticeable and jarring way possible
Thank you for creating a video that allows me to perfectly explain to people what it's like having a cat who's so devoted that he follows you around the house
michael teclaw "The weeping angels" Ala doctor who. essentially they are stone statues which resemble angels. When someone is looking at them, totally harmless. Once you break eye-contact however (turning your back or even blinking), they can move at extremely swift speeds. On top of that, anything that retains the image of an angel, becomes an angel. They're most prone to snapping their victim's neck and/or sending them back to a point in time before they ever lived. allowing the angel can feed off all the energy that person would have consumed throughout their life.
I saw this on Cracked and I just freaking loved it. The horror music is hilarious. I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and I love the thought of Sherlock sending Watson out to spy for him and the suspect turning around and just seeing...Watson. Always following. Never walking. He has always been there. He will always be there.
This is hands down the creepiest, yet the funniest thing I've seen so far xD I can only imagine what would be going through Sherlock's head at the time. Sherlock: Okay Watson, j-just stay right there. I'm going to go over here to look for clues and- HOW DID YOU GET THERE?!
The super dramatic music makes this amazing! Definitely creepy in a funny way. I love the part where the player is at the top of the stairs, looking down, strafing side to side to see if Watson would vanish behind a column. For science! LOL hilariously awesome!
I'd rather not encourage the type of lazy "programming" where any idiot now can download a game engine, call themselves a game designer, and push out a bloated mess in days because they won't learn how to actually program.
"Watson, using my rules of deduction, what can you presume from this scene?" "Only the god of shadows can kill the sun." "Watson? Where did the lights go?"
Slender Mann But Slender he ain't got no swag does he? Also that new Show Elementry is a Moreen Sherlock Holmes and Watson is a girl you teach her/him that? EDIT: Modern
Watson has officially transcended reality; he is in a realm of infinite possibility of where he may or may not end up, only bound by the perception of Sherlock.
+moonorc This was on the final game. It's a cheap way to get Watson to your position by only updating his position when you look away. This was eventually fixed in the remastered edition when they also added a 3rd person view.
This reminds me of one custom story in Amnesia: The Dark Descent where some knight statues follow you in this same manner. Having experienced that, I would surely have mini heart attacks playing THIS game every time I turned and saw Watson.
lol! I remember playing this game and laughing insanely hard when this happened. Love the music you put on it. Going to have to find my copy of this now...
Am I the only one being annoyed by the fact that 9/10 comments on this video are like "Slender this, Slender that, Slenderman, Slenderwatson" even though this video is from 2008 way before the game that gave fame to Slenderman even existed, also not to mention that Slenderman was totally ruined by dumb kids and stupid creepypastas so basically nowadays every Slenderman-related-thing or comment is fucking annoying.
Ysgramornorris I thought of the exact same thing, But unfortunately I do not know when the first appearance of the Weeping* Angels were in Doctor who. I believe it was in an episode of David Tennants, But I'm not sure. If that is true, I doubt this game was based of the Weeping Angels - Infact, it may even be vise-versa. But I doubt this was even intentional, I bet the creators couldn't be bothered to create a moving animation for Watson :P
Man, I played this like a decade ago, only got as far as the Tower of London before I gave up, and that's where I noticed Watson doing this. I would stand in one corner of the map, move backwards with Watson still in my line of sight, then once I've reached the other side of the courtyard, I'd quickly swipe my mouse and make him disappear. He'd then be standing right next to me. Hilarious! Nice to see this bit of awkward programming getting the love it deserves!

The game was not called “Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of Creepy Watson”
It’s a reference to this video
@@IanZWhite00 they mean, its the same developer that made both Sinking City and this game.
Gotta respect a sense of humor like that
That is so awesome!
Good
It's funny when you imagine the Great Sherlock Holmes spinning around and running through the manor trying to get away from Watson.
I just imagine Watson repeatedly saying "IT'S ONLY ELEMENTARY MR. HOLMES" every time he appears out of nowhere.
I chuckled at this.
That awkward moment when you make the creepiest thing ever by accident.
😂😂🙏🙏🙏
I ruined your 911 likes... you can't call for help now.

Watson, I deduce that your father was the slenderman and your mother was a weeping angel.

Hahahahaha
Not even Sherlock can solve the mystery of Watson's quick movement.
i got it Watson secretly a wizard
I don’t blame him honestly. If I had to walk around and follow Holmes all day, I’d teleport too.
This is the funniest case of being lazy I've ever seen.
The FUNNIEST? I think it is creepy!
It is creepy at this point i hope you get donuted again
Really is. Someone just went "I don't feel like programming walking animations and pathfinding today" and coded him to teleport in the most noticeable and jarring way possible
Thankfully it's only the demo. In the main game he walks like a normal person.
Ah yes, JoJo fans are everywhere.
Watson: Every step you take, every move you make. I'll watching you
I'll be Watson you.
I honestly hate that song, but this made me chuckle. (Nothing to do with the beat or the vocals, I just don’t like the lyrics.)
“I’ll Be Watson You”
@@elisabethheiman2104 Yeah the lyrics are kinda weird.
I find the version by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans much much better.
@@elisabethheiman2104you know they're creepy on purpose right
Sherlock: Watson, why do you keep doing that?
Watson: Sorry, the plonkers didn't give me the ability to walk.
Sherlock: The nerve.
Guys, calm down. Watson is just very good at Red Light - Green Light.
EDIT: SHUT UP ABOUT SQUID GAME
+Tom de Kler xD
That's really good! For once I had a good laugh at a comment!
Tom de Kler OBVS
Okay but that would be the best horror movie concept? A game of Red Light, Green Light gone horribly wrong!
That's how he makes his rounds and still has time for Holmes.
"Should we give a walking animation to the only other character that needs to move?"
NAAAAAH!
You'd also need pathfinding and a following algorithm. Nontrivial.
Don't run, he likes it when you run.
Sleep is overrated.
Minodrey so is Watson's walking AI
Minodrey no really Watson where is your walking ai

This is a case of the creators being too lazy to add animation to Watson
Oros Abaddon As anyone who has ever made a 3D game can tell you, walk cycle animations are pissing difficult.
Oros Abaddon They also have to do the pathing AI.
Oros Abaddon i'm glad they didn't this hilarious and scary at the same time!

This is too scary to even be said game.
I think it's awesome that the new Sherlock game actively parodies themselves with a new video they released.
Somebody call the SCP Foundation!
I did not know Dr. Watson was Slender. Sherlock Holmes, you just solve another mystery, Dr. Watson is Slender.
Taught him everything he knows... but he isn't me.

No, I didn't. I'll have to look into that. But Sherlock on the BBC is also a modern Sherlock Holmes, and Watson remains a male in that.

I love how he looks behind him when you walk past him like "Hahaa, I see you're watching me Holmes but you'll never guess where I appear next!"
"You cant escape me Sherlock..." ~Watson
Watson has officially transcended reality;
he is in a realm of infinite possibility of where he may or may not end up, only bound by the perception of Sherlock.
this is so fucking terrifying but I can't stop laughing
programmer here... they probably just lazy as fuck... animations are tough.
+KatyPeezy It's most likely related to a problem with the pathfinding not working or no navigation mesh has been done for the level yet for the demo.
+moonorc This was on the final game. It's a cheap way to get Watson to your position by only updating his position when you look away. This was eventually fixed in the remastered edition when they also added a 3rd person view.
Oscar Riba Ok Lol. But I still think that they didnt have time to make the pathfinding.
+KatyPeezy What has programming got to do with animating? They're two different jobs.

Watson is a weird dude, he's a full on stalker! I recall hiding in the corner of the room when my sister played this video!
Overheard one evening at the museum: "Elementary my dear Waaaahhh! How the hell do you do that!"
That's like my daughter following me around the house...actually no, I'm just an a$$hole.
It was just so too hard to program his walking so they with teleport?
