The story entails a San Francisco team having to solve a deep mystery and stopping “the powerful Ghost Lord and his band of malevolent ghosts from causing chaos.” The team’s Firehouse and [Containment Unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit) are a cable car station and retrofitted cable car. Their Ecto-1 will be different looking than the classic one. Players will also use a P.K.E. Meter and shoot out a Trap with a retractable device. Sony Pictures VR’s Riley Cooper mentioned [Jason Reitman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/jason-reitman) was able to play a recent build of the game and gave some direction that the equipment should be “a little bit makeshift, a little bit improvised.” A modern version of the Neutrona Wand was imagined, including a side handle. Customization are in terms picking the suit for one of four selectable characters. There will be tethering and overheating. Key art of the team and Ghost Lord were shown along with Mini-Pufts. Missions will have variety. One type of mission is “Exorcism Mode.” Another emphasizes the player walking around with the P.K.E. Meter. Another involves retrieving something then the ghosts show up.

I like a more cartoony/stylized Ghostbusters personally, but I get the complaints. The streams look weird, the equipment designs aren’t the strongest, and a lot of the ghosts seem more like plushies. That said, if the games fun, I can look past a lot of that. ---

Still hate the title. The visuals look okay, but everything feels like “off brand, dollar store” Ghostbusters. I can understand the visuals not being super high quality since the Quest’s hardware, while impressive, isn’t bleeding edge. It does what it’s meant to very well, but it’s not a graphical powerhouse BECAUSE of that. That said, the gameplay looks interesting. When I get a new VR headset, I’ll definitely grab this. ---

I’d be worried about throwing the controller out of my hand by accident and damaging it or the TV or tripping or walking into a wall… The controllers have straps that go around your hands so if you let go of a controller it will just dangle from your wrist, but also when you first switch on the headset it asks you to trace a “boundary” around the room (based on where you’ll be playing). If you walk too close to one of the edges of this boundary, you’ll see passthrough video fade in over the game so you’ll know you’re about to walk into something. You basically just need to ensure that the edges aren’t too close to anything you might hit with your arms outstretched (eg your TV). It works surprisingly well.
