I am buzzing with this news…I can’t wait for this game…and the success should spark a renewed interest/ new interest in Ghostbusters…which can only be a good thing for us life long fans…collectibles and stuff could follow…I only wished i could buy the magazine all about the game here in London.
This is Phenomenal. I mean the closest thing to playing a descent ghostbuster game in the last decade, would have to be GBDoom, though unfinished it was the only “3d” first person shooter that gave you a ghostbuster feel, but now this… Words cannot describe. I DREADED the idea of another movie coming out, I really think it would KILL the franchise, especially with films these days, or worse, they make it CGI, and it turn out like TMNT. But GB the video game… this is a happy medium.
I didn’t think TMNT was all that bad. It went along more with the spirit of the newer cartoon, so I thought it was alright. Still, the first turtles was definately the best (in my opinion) due to it feeling a bit more real (besides just the live action aspect). I suppose even mentioning it here might be blasphemy, as GB and the Turtles were competing at the time. If they do go ahead and make a cgi GB (god forbid they try to make a 3rd at all this late), it should be done more in the spirit of the cartoon. I think, by virtue of the movie following a different continuity, it would turn out better (as long as they don’t keep in certain elements from the cartoon, like different uniform colors for each GB). However, if they decide to try live action…Funkzilla’s current avatar convinces me that Stephen Colbert would be awesome as a GB (since they will, no doubt, try to bring in a new face if they go with live action).
One thought on the game…I hope they don’t do something stupid, like putting a fuel constraint on the Proton Pack. It needs to be self-recharging, having only an overheating constraint if used for too long a period of time (which itself shouldn’t come up too fast). I also wonder if it will have certain elements from the first game, concerning the earning of cash. Driving the Ecto-1 around need not be anything like in the old NES GBII game! (if it gets drivin at all). All in all, it does look like it will be the best game ever made.
You have to go to ghostbusters teaser gameplay, not ghostbusters first footage. The new stuff is in there, without commentary from video game show hosts.
Cool link…really great to see the gameplay footage on a larger clearer scale…this game looks amazing, and thats only very early footage, it may even been better when it reaches the shelves of stores.
Looking at the Proton Pack..I like the additional lights they have added to the classic Pack design…no doubt someone here will build a replica!
And how about the PKE meter!!! it’s got new bars and light switches.. i like it a lot.
I heard that in the game, you are hired as a rookie, to help the classic GBS and you get to test the upgraded equipment… so that’s why the new lights and stuff.
