I think they pushed it to work on the graphics more, the quest 3 is supposed to be better quality.
Really digging the HQ, and the improvised Containment Unit built into the old street car… Nicely distinct from the New York equipment and office. ![]()
The Liam Neeson soundalike for the Ghost Lord is a welcome bit of flavour for the character, rather than him having a regular American accent… And even has an Eric Draverhaven-style connection to the guys.
Also a 8:15 roundtable with art director Jack Bromhead
-All about teamwork
-Array of equipment - Proton Pack, Trap, P.K.E. Meter
-All equipment upgradeable, see the upgrade station in the trailer. Mentions a deployable shield and a decoy as upgrades.
-Select from an array of missions
-Earn cash at the end of every mission and buy equipment
-Tie in a lot of the existing Ghostbusters universe into it
-A mission is at Alcatraz
-There’s Mini-Pufts that will swarm you
-Looked at Tobin’s Spirit Guide and existing IP when developing the ghosts
EDIT: Having seen the trailer, the villain sorta reminds me a lot of Edward Kirilian from Extreme Ghostbusters - Egon’s ex-colleague who wanted to enslave ghosts, a bit of Shandor - being involved in construction of places all over the city, a bit of Rowan - Gustav’s ‘harvestors’ seem a bit like Rowan’s hyper-ionization devices being planted all over the city and mention of the prophecy when restless souls get revenge on the living, and a dash of Michael Draverhaven from Legion comics - being driven insane and obsessed.
Also, whoever voices Gustav was really channeling Liam Neeson. Guess Gustav gets whammied by Ghost Lord in a smiliar manner Vigo entrances Janosz.
Ok, looks like some famous locations will serve as missions like Chinatown, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz and some newly made places like a Hookfaber factory or mansion.
Surprised the one newspaper reveals the SF branch of Ghostbusters started on November 24, 1994. Most recent headline is November 25, 2022 when Hookfaber’s intern Katie Miller has gone missing.
Anyone else think the Ghost Lord has a futuristic/robotic feel to them? Feels a bit weird.
Oh yeah, and seems like SF has its own ‘Podcast’ as well. A character named Big T who reports paranormal things on Strange Times Radio like the March of the Malevolent prophecy.
Does. And I’d wager they took some inspiration from Prime Evil in the Filmation Ghost Busters.
I really, really dislike the design of Ghost Lord. Man, even the name is lame.
It’s so lazy and uninspired.
I think his design is reflecting on how he became what he is, sensing some steampunk vibes.
Oof, that price point! but it does include DLC; just noticed that…
I. AM. IN.
A developer roundtable was also posted.
-There are franchises in various states but no activity for a while until a blip on radar in SF. They accidentally release Ghost Lord who chose SF to raise the first undead city.
-Confirms Chinatown, Alcatraz, and Golden Gate Bridge levels
-At HQ, change up outfits at locker. Shooting gallery.
-Missions have job types like combat, investigation or exploration
-Once Mini Pufts are on you, can’t use equipment. Puffer is a ghost that gets angry and explodes. Penny is the clown-faced ghost and is a “healer.”
-Talk about eye tracking, immersion, haptics. If a ghost flies through you, you feel a rumble from the headset.
Yes, a Full Containment Edition has the game plus "six months of upcoming DLC and bonus content at a discounted price. "
Yep, that turned the tide for me. Excited for the 10/26!
I’m really out of the loop, so I’m asking: I own a ps4. What do I have to buy to play this game?
If you’re using Playstation, you need a PS5 and the PS VR2 (headset, controllers).
Yeah, $430 plus tax for the VR system if its in a bundle. You’ll be looking at around a grand on top of a new PS5 plus the cost of the game. Plus whatever accessories you need.
The meta quest 2 is $300, then the game bundle itself so it’s all less than $400 if you’re looking for the cheaper route.
So, I can’t play it on a PS4?
Platform ps5, so i’m guessing no.
The various product pages do give a good idea of what’s in the Full Containment Edition:
• 4 Equipment Skins
• 10 Additional Playable Avatars
• Slimer Hunt feature & collectible
• Additional Bonus Content!
Nice of Slimer to visit the West Coast. lol.
Well I guess I’m gonna have to buy a console…
