A GOOD POSSIBILITY OF DELAY...what do YOU wanna see changed?

Ghostbusters Discussion Ghostbusters Video Games
1

I thought I’d post a new topic that may bring some time-wasting-while-we-wait YET AGAIN. What would you want to see improved upon? Or what things do you want changed…THERE HAS TO BE ONE SIERRA PROGRAMMER LURKING AMONGST US!!! (you can’t work on a GB game without being a slight Ghosthead yourself!?)

Changes that I’d like to see.

  1. Lemme take the wheel of Ecto! If I’m gonna be the rookie and be the guinea pig for the equipment, I might as well be the GB team chauffer too!

  2. Pink slime in the slime blower.

  3. Louis Tulley cameo.

  4. Customizable Rookie - what if i don’t wanna be some midwest white guy! I live in Hawaii, I don’t look like that! I WANNA BE THE ROOKIE

5)Gigameter

  1. alternate costumes - pre Ghostbuster lab coats, courtroom suits, phony construction outfits

  2. additional behind the scenes making of the game unlockables.

9)re-done ragdoll physics

10)Crowd AI movement improved

*10’s a good number to stop on…this ones just for fun:

  1. A reference line to how menstrating can affect a woman’s tendency to act a little crazy, and see ghosts.
2

Im all for Pink Slime!

and of course customizable Rookie with Xbox Vision support… yes please.

To be perfectly honest, I can’t think of anything that is important enough to me that I’d rather wait if they didn’t include it in the game.

But, I really do appreciate that you are trying to help us move on and cheer up a bit. So, I will say that I too would love a customizeable rookie Ghostbuster. I’d love to think that we can make the new Ghostbuster look like ourselves. That would be AWESOME! After all, we all want to be a Ghostbuster as it is! LOL!

Custom rookie capabilities would rock. In always wanted that and kinda felt let down when that didn’t happen.

I mean the guy doesn’t have a name or talk, why the hell can’t it be a custom skin for each player?

Also the ladies would be able to feel more immersed in the movie too.

If they made a book or movie tie in they would have to decide on a canon version…but Star Wars did fine with that after the KOTOR games.

5

I just hope, if it is delayed, that they do SOMETHING to improve it further.

6

I really dont think much, if any, will change if the game is delayed.

I mean aren’t these guys under contract??

Just because the game is going to take 10 more months to get PUBLISHED doesnt mean that the programmers will have 10 months to tinker with the game.

I’m sure some minor elements will make it in but eventually someone, or some company, is going to have to shell out more money to keep the game in development. After hearing the rumor that Bill Murray wants 50% of the profits i think the games first perogative should be getting the damn thing published.

All of that aside…

Hell yea for pink slime!!! lolol

Bring back the original slime blower!!! Not that stupid hybrid sex toy dual nozzle proton slime blower ■■■■ pack ! LOL

Also, wrangling mechanics should be tighter…All the gameplay videos i’ve seen made me very skeptical about the wrangling.

7

Bill Murray!

They should replace him with John Belushi.

8

I would have said Dave Coulier..but that works too :lol: :wink:

9

Stay Puft and Slimer still look a little wonky to me. Tweak their shading/colors to match the original movie!

10

a dvd extra on how they made the game would be great, they must have shot some film of the guys doing the voice overs?.

11

i love venkman, but he reminds me too much of bill now…and i’ve become less of a fan…sadly. just hearing that he would complain about the pack bums me out.

12

i said 10 was good, but put 11…i gots one more.

  1. you can bust the ghost of bill murray and slam him around for a bit.
13

Customizable rookies definitely. No reason why that shouldn’t be an option, especially if there will be multiplayer (another wish: multiplayer on all platforms).

Alternate costumes would also be cool, maybe scenarios where that would be required (undercover of sorts, etc), maybe an additional puzzle would be required to unlock it to proceed.

Realistic physics. I believe there is a company (NVidia?) that’s either working on or has released a graphics card that can handle this.

14

oh man i love topics like this!!!

Things i would like to see added and or changed eventhough i know it’s a looooong shot with most of them.

  1. and most importantly, i want to drive ECTO-1!!

  2. if Ecto-1 was or becomes driveable, i would like to see the game transformed into a sand box type of game where you can roam the entire city busting random ghosts or destroying ■■■■! I would love to write my name on a buiding using the proton streams or something to that matter.

  3. Franchise mode where you play the role similar to Louis Tully while also going out on random busts. you would Open up different locations around the state and do the hiring and firing and also handling finances making sure people pay with cash, certified check or money order and also trying to keep team moral high similar to the GM mode on Smackdown VS Raw 2008.

  4. Team split busts. I would like to go on busts with just one or two members of the team instead of all 4 sometimes and whomever you went with to bust, they would have conversations with you about different busts or tell random stories from previous busts like ray and winston did while driving on the bridge.

  5. the choices you make while going on or during busts effect the ending of the game I.E. GTA IV

  6. all though it already has been confirmed, i would like to have a more destructiveable (SP) enviroment like the game Black was.

  7. Ecto and Equipment repair shop. if you can drive the Ecto, it’s inevitable that its going to get damaged so what do you do? you take it to the shop to get fixed and they would either send you a bill or deduct it from your current earnings. as far as the equipment would go you would have Egon or Louis doing repair or upgrades and of course…you can’t leave out the Proton Charging.

  8. Pack Energy. Even though the packs have a shelf life of 5,000 years, they still need to be charged right? but what happens if you go on a bust and the packs are out of energy? We have seen it before in a RGB episode so why not throw it into a game! Make sure you charge that extra grand for proton charging.

  9. Ghost Escape. We all know you have to be Carefull when handling a loaded trap and it it gets banged around too much or in a worst case Dropped, the doors can come open and the ghost can escape. Now we all know (that Ecot-1 has a containment unit in it ( at least i think it does ) and if it gets banged up too much, then the stored beast has a chance of escape. Maybe that would explain why the ecto has a gun on top of it?

  10. Because we all want to do it one time or another, let us atleast be able to use the Statue of Liberty once, because damn, It would be fun, no explnation needed.

  11. Slimer Becomes your friend and helps out every now and then like in RGB and at the end of the game, let him fly into the camera, everyone loves that scene

  12. Random Busts. lets say your heading back to HQ or your just out taking the ecto for a spin because hell, you want to show her off because you just took her though the car wash, when all of a sudden BAM. A class 5 full roaming vaopr appears…A real NASTY ONE TOO! what do you do? continue your drive ignoting the terrified screams and wait until it dissapears? go and bust it and save they day? or wait and see if a call comes into the HQ and you have to go out and bust it? choises man choices because you never know if your going to get that call or not plus, the extra money form the bust might come in handy and could line you up for a promotion.

  13. CB radio in Ecto-1. i think it would be pretty neat to have a CB in ecto so that you can be in contact with someone back at HQ. you never know what might happen out there or if Ecto-1 breaks down and someone needs to bring out Ecto-1A to save the day

  14. Fully interactive enviroment. again, like in GTA IV and saints row you can interact with different things and board buses and the metro and hell even the subway. imagine the fun of riding on top of the metro while busting a ghost or creating your own roadblock using sorts of different cars or if Ecto-1 breaks down, you would just grab your equipment and hop into some car and go!

  15. Pink Slime is a must and it would be cool if before you go you had your choice of either slime blower or proton pack to use for the bust

Thats all i can think of for now, sorry so damn long but i love these types of things and i tried not to re-mention anything that has already been said!

15

This would be cool in multiplayer mode as well; possibly an option for a multi-state/region bust either co-op or pitting the franchises against each other.

*Considering that the story has been written already, and the voice work done, I highly doubt anyone but Dan would come back for new tracks to add into the game for the “new features” some of you guys are proposing [and to alter the key features means altering the course of the game er go the story as well, meaning extra vocal work to accomidate]…

*However having said that, I do agree with some of the cosmetic features, such as:

*Some of the new additions to the pack are obviously “cannibalized” from the Slime Blower “proper”, so being as though that’s what the original piece of equipment was built for [the Slime Blower] - Vigo’s “Psychomagnetheric Slime” - It should be reddish/pink in hue…Unless the game’s implying that all ectoplasm/slime/“ghostly traces” HAVE to be green [Which I obviously would not agree with], or the “Slime Tether” goop is a completely new brand of user-manipulated ooze [Which would be silly - That’s been done, er go this arguement], then arguement says “pink”…

*Being as though this is the next-simplest thing to do in regards to the bigger-picture that comprises the finished game, and will make the players feel more-at-one with the idea of “being” the rookie, I don’t see as to why this can’t be implimented [unless Mr. Ryan French signed some “exclusive agreement” saying he was "the one and only ‘rookie model’ "], even if it’s just a choice between “male or female”…It’s a simple skin to change - Not “A.I.”, not voice work [as the “rookie” is silent] - Just a skin…

Though having said that, I’m pretty sure someone within the fandom will come along a mod-fck the hell outta the PC version anyways :whatever: …

*The thought of being able to choose, between the GBII charcoal or the classic washed-out-khaki would be cool, or even a nod to RGB [though that would be a MAJOR stretch]…

*A small tweak to the PKE’s function and a new skin and “viola!”…

*Not so-much Stay-Puft, but Slimer is kinda “wonky”…The inside of his mouth needs to be red, and his eyes are too close together…That and he had an enormous butt and not a tail…

**And a few dealing with gameplay:*

*I’m pretty sure that’ll never be an option [to drive the car to-and-fro], but it sounds cool…Those “GTA” mods did look pretty sweet :cool: …Maybe as a “non-campaign mode” perhaps? Kinda like the old David Crane game where you moved around on the board until a building blinked, only instead you get a buzz from Janine [using an already pre-recorded dialouge sequence], alerting you to where you needed to be? A thought…

*He does kinda “flop” doesn’t he?..I just hope that it’s not as bad when actually playing as it was in “Transformers” [Armada - NOT the movie] for the PS2…TALK about some ragged frustration…Everytime time you got hit - A limp noodle]…If that’s the case, then fix hastily…

*Some of them were kinda “zombie-like”…

*And last-but-not-least - “Bonus content”:

*While I’m pretty sure this is a given, and we did see the “Extras” option on me “menu screen” screenshot, if these aren’t already implimented, a few videos of the cast recording their lines, or even just an interview or two would be nice…And the trailers too :cool: …

*I would like to add one of my own - Vigo…If that picture of him in that gaming mag was indeed him, they seriously need to change him…That was one loopy excuse for a “Carpathian”…

*Otherwise the game’s gold :cool: …

*Cheers.
