Ghostbusters: The Game is ALIVE!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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...

Huh? Where did you hear this? No platforms have even been announced yet.

It's in the top right corner of the cover. The little red part.

Truth. Last time I listen to McWhertor. I don't even know why I started.

Just looked at that myself, and it notes PS3 -and- PS2. As well as PC, XBox 360, and Wii.

I think that's the point he was getting at...

That's what I mean. It sucks that it's coming to PS2 and possibly mess stuff for the graphics of the other consoles.

Well that's pretty rad.

Apparently that's not the case!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

NICE. Different studios is cool.

All four Ghsotbusters AND William Atherton!?!

This game is so bought it almost hurts.

You got that right! It seems like they're making all the right moves thus far...except for the development team. Apparently, Terminal Reality is doing the honors...makers of such critical acclaimed titles as BloodRayne 2, Aeon Flux and RoadKill...yeah. That's pretty f*cking bad. Let us all pray that being given such a huge license, and having so many people on-board with the project, that they're going to make a game worth playing.

I'll likely just get the Wii and DS versions since I don't have a PS3 (but if anything can convince me to throw down the wad of cash for one, it's Ghostbusters).

The Wii version is being done by Red Fly, but I couldn't find much about what games they've done online.

I can see this them instilling this thing with great production values but totally dropping the ball in the gameplay department. Sort of like Enter the Matrix.

You know it'll happen.

I'll buy that.

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!!!!!!
Variety has a pic of slimer:

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

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

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.

Gameplay footage

Looks great!

Official site

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

One word: awesome.

I really can't wait to hear more on this. Everything looks so promising... :D

One question, if it's about a new recruit, why are all of the shots of things from the first movie?

Hm, don't know. Maybe flash backs? Old ghosts released and you have to round them up again? Or maybe you get pulled into an interdimentional rip and get sent back in time? :ohwell:

I kinda wondered the same thing Peanut. Slimer's gonna be in it like he was in GB2 in my opinion, but Stay Puft? We'll see...

Didn't the cartoon kind of do the same thing? I guess they're just using Slimer and Stay-Puft etc. because they are iconic.

The game seems cool enough, but I'm very disappointed they couldn't have got the sequal to work. Even as a CGI DTV movie, I was really pulling for this.

Wait, the sequel isn't happening anymore?

Wtf?! Evidence Required!!

There will be NO GB 3 as far as we know right now. Bill Murray doesn't want to do it, yet he's fine with doing voice overs. Who knows. We have been talking about this over at www.bluesbrotherscentral.com under Ghostbusters. Check it out.

Oh. Yeah, Aykroyd has said that the sequel will be CGI.

Thats exactly right....everyone has been talking about the game over at Ghostbusters.net and someone uploaded the 'Game Informer' article pages....where it says something happens which releases a bunch of ghosts upon the world,including some from the past.

Sooooooooo... This isn't 'Ghostbusters: Hellbent - The Videogame'??

Got my Game Informer in the mail a few days ago. BEST MAGAZINE COVER EVER!

Hopefully it will redeem the franchise from all the previous bad games.

With "Ghostbusters" getting a video game, "Back to the Future" can't be far behind.

Sure it can, because no one cares about Back to the Future anymore, and it would make for a terrible videogame in the first place.
