With news of a Ghostbusters sequel in the works, it is great to be able to look back at what came before to mentally prepare us for cinematic gold, or utter failure. We have to have a measuring stick on the franchise, and what better way to haul us into nostalgic bliss than with a platform video game with the original voice actors!
The animation looks great for the ghosts, and a little detatched for the guys. Granted, the voice acting pulls those laces tight again and it looks like they can pull it off. No word on gameplay, but if anything this makes me want to get the guys to pull on their proton packs for another film. Rumour has it they will be “passing the torch” to a new younger team, but I hope they only do this to retire and then get called on to save the day when the rookies can’t pull their weight.
They should have just made a cg movie instead, but I will check this out when it comes to stores.
Was any of that actual gameplay footage? I didnt think it was, looks nice though, great to hear those voices.
Or it might suck ass like most film based games.
Looking at the trailer I saw that there were four white ghostbusters and I thought that Ernie Hudson was not in it and then he showed up in the end. Wasn’t there some issue with him about returning to the franchise?
HEY!!! YOU KNOW WHAT…
sorry that was like super excited (just to get your attention :P)
This might be the first VIDEO GAME FILM to actually be good hehe…
I remember the old ghostbustsers game on the nintendo, where you drove the car. that was fun, about time there is a new one.
@ Phil Gee: Bustin’ makes me feel good as well!
I really hope this game is going to be good but based on past experience I highly doubt it.
Neverless I am cautiously optimistic. I grew up on Ghostbusters!
it takes place 2 years after the second movie i believe
This brings me back im going to watch the movies now
Well i’m still sceptical that it will actually be a great game, I can’t deny that bustin’ makes me feel good so sign me up.
Yea I been watching this game like a hawk. The gameplay is nothing groundbreaking but looks like a fun game. The story was orginally suppose to be the third movie but because of the New Zeland tech demo leaked on youtube public intrest is what got this game made. Orginally it was being published by Seirra games only to be bought out buy Activision/Blizzard. The game was suprisingly dropped only to have been picked up by Atari. It will be realeased on all platforms with the DS, Wii and PS2 versions looking like a new Ghostbusters cartoon rather than realistc on the 360 and PS3.
I love the Ghostbuster’s movies as much as the next movie fanatic and I grew up watching the 80’s cartoon but I have no desire to play this game. I don’t understand the hype on this one.
I wasn’t expecting that either. There’s finally a video game that seems to be doing Ghostbusters justice. I’d be really disappointed if the new movie didn’t take advantage of today’s effects to pull off visuals like these.
Regarding the “dark place,” the developer got bought out either this year or last – can’t remember the details. Anyway, it’s just business deals and signing contracts that got in the way of this for a while.
The trailer looks fucking brilliant…I was so not expecting that. The developer hasn’t been all that promising…plus all the hush hush kind of made it feel like it was being pulled into a ‘dark place’. BUT HEY ITS ALL COOL NOW CUS IT LOOKS PRETTY!
There’s still a pretty big chance the game will suck :P
is the game based on the two movies or is it a “sequel” ??
The game looks awesome !!!
This looks good I cannot wait!!!
Brings a huge smile to my face
