OMFG! YES! YES! YES!

They're all involved too! Not just with voice-overs, but even script writing! HOLY SH*T, YES! I thought this whole project was killed when ZootFly let out that they hadn't even acquired the Ghostbusters license, but with all the press that went out about it, I'm not surprised someone decided to run with it. This is f*cking fantastic.

Seems too good to be true, basically.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-14-2007, 04:35 PM

For real this time? Sounds great, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Peanut · 11-14-2007, 05:06 PM

I believe it, because Game Informer is known for pulling out these insane exclusive first-looks.

*DrSpengler* · 11-14-2007, 06:57 PM

Looks like I'll be buying my first issue of Game Informer in over five years.

Ghostbusters hasn't had a very good history in the world of video games. I've never played one that was actually...fun. Still, this one could be a first.

Even if the game totally blows I'll buy it. At this point I'm starving for anything Ghostbusters.

*Cure* · 11-14-2007, 07:05 PM

I'm just a little saddened it's coming to all next gen systems but coming to the PS2, as well. The other versions better not suffer because of that. If anything, however, it'll most likely affect the Wii version...

I don't want to get my hopes up until it actually happens.

*BigApple3AM* · 11-15-2007, 09:56 AM

The game could suck ass for all I care. What really got me was Ramis and Akroyd are going to write for the game, and it takes place in the 90's after ghostbusters 2!!!!!!

This made the #1 story for entertainment news on google news. Hells yeah!

*Dr. Doom* · 11-15-2007, 02:30 PM

I glanced through the Game Informer today. What I saw definitely looked interestign to say the least.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-16-2007, 09:00 AM

Some more screens here.

It ain't gonna win any awards in the graphics department, but damn it, it's Ghostbusters. Nice to hear about the co-op mode too, I'm keeping my eye on this.

*DrSpengler* · 11-16-2007, 11:46 AM

Gameplay footage

Looks great!

Official site

Looks like you play as a new recruit being trained by the Ghostbusters.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-05-2007, 11:08 AM

Hands-on over at IGN. Its nice to know that for once in our lives, we finally have a quality, kick-ass, and potentially fun Ghostbusters game to look forward to. Hopefully this will make up for all those crappy games I played as a kid.

Entire original cast? Check. Written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis? Check. I just hope it can live up to expectations. The gameplay is supposed to be liniar, but that's a trade-off to get all the storytelling into the mix. There's actually rumor they are thinking about just calling it Ghostbusters III. We'll see.

Peanut · 12-05-2007, 12:34 PM

I really don't get the big deal about this whole "the game is linear" thing. Why is this a problem all of a sudden?

Yeah, seriously. Linearity wasn't a problem back in the day, and it still shouldn't.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-05-2007, 07:54 PM

I never said it was a problem. Poor wording I guess.

*Anarchistguy* · 05-10-2008, 07:25 AM

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but there is an interview featuring new footage:

Enjoy

Any approximates for the release date yet? Admittedly, I'm more stoked about The Real Ghostbusters DVDs than the game (which I'm sure will be a great success). But, it's safe to assume the two will be released within a couple weeks of each other.

There will be a panel for the video game at Comic-Con - with both Dan Akroyd and Ernie Hudson present - so I suspect further details about the game will be released then.

*gobo* · 07-13-2008, 11:24 PM

O_O Ernie? Another reason for me to curse fate for refusing to let me attend.

*odupianist* · 07-14-2008, 06:59 AM

I thought it was shooting for October of this year...?
