Ghostbusters: The Video Game Equipment List

Bulletproof70 · August 12, 2009, 11:35am

Okay, so Ghostbusters: The Video Game has been out for a while now, and I know a few GBFans members have been building various bits of related kit. What I thought I’d do is compile a list and images of all the new equipment, gadgets and uniform additions in the game, as a handy reference guide.

(Note: The items included here are only from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game)

Now, the quality of some of these pics may not be great, but should give everyone an initial idea of what’s been discovered to date:

GHOSTBUSTERS: THE VIDEO GAME - EQUIPMENT LIST

**Green Leg Hose - **As seen on the cover of the Prima Game Guide

**Lifeguard II - **Now appears to slot into a small leather holster (similar to the Circuit Holster), and has been upgraded with a wire that connects from a circuit board to a flashing light

**MT500 Radio - **Worn on left shoulder strap of Proton Pack. Longer antenna. Not sure how it’s attached to the strap

**GI Light - **OD green light worn on right shoulder strap of Proton Pack

**Proton Pack Light - **Added to top of pack. Can be seen over left shoulder

Belt - Leather keychain strap added to right-hand side, with carabiner clip used to hold Ecto Goggle

PKE Meter - Now appears to have a plastic clip on the back of it for attaching to the pistol belt

(Pic to come)

PROTON PACK UPGRADES

Each pack upgrade consists of two pieces of kit: an addition to the Neutrona Wand, and an addition to the Proton Pack

Boson Dart Supercharge

Slime Blower Pressure Increase

Reduced Slime Consumption

Shock Blast Recharge Increase

Stasis Stream Amplifier

Meson Collider Penetration

Overload Pulse Accelerator

MUON CONTAINMENT TRAP UPGRADES

Likewise, the Ghost Trap can be upgraded with two additions, both of which add extra parts to the trap:

Slam Dunk Trapping

Fast Trap

**Misc: **On the cover of the Prima Game Guide, there are two additional items to note:

Ray’s PKE Meter - The back of the device is different from existing PKE Meters

Peter’s PKE Meter - Hanging from his belt. Different shape and screen to Ray’s and Egon’s. Another device altogether?

So that’s the list so far. In terms of more images, there are various screenshots and artwork floating around for the various pack upgrades, but what we could really do with are hi-res assets, possibly from developer, Terminal Reality. The level of detail on the equipment in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game is amazing. When viewed at 1080p on an HD TV, you can see text on the Proton Pack and Ecto Goggle stickers, stitching on GB logo patches and much more.

Hope this list helps those of you looking to expand your Ghostbusters equipment. Feel free to add and amend as necessary!

More pics to come soon…

A few things I noticed without reading too much.

The leg hoses are still yellow. I believe they look green because of the background on that picture.

The PKEs on the cover are the original concept for the PKE meter, which is not the one they use in the game. It’s the basis for the touch screen PKE in the game, but that’s about it. The concept PKE looked like this:
image1024×576 71.9 KB

which is exactly how it looks on the game cover. They just simply used an old concept picture for the cover.

IMO, if you’re going for a game accurate look, you have to stick with what you see in the actual game. Plus, it’s easier to get HD from those as well.

Here are some shots of the PKE I found, some of the back part and the front. The second picture also gives a nice shot of the holster/gizmo that goes with the lifegard.

Random shot of the uniforms suggest no zippers on the boots as well.

I dont know why everyone keeps saying the MT-500 is now located on the shoulder. . . .

That is clearly NOT styled after an mt-500. It is a slim model radio and has a made-up name/logo on it . . . .

It doesnt say Motorola on it, doesnt have the “M” logo, and does not even look like an MT-500

Some_Guy · August 12, 2009, 7:00pm

Agreed. Plus an MT500 is WAY too bulky to wear on the ALICE frame (which is another reason why I bought a shoulder microphone for mine)

A Good substitute for the shoulder radio is this:

It’s a “Motostar” BB Concealment holder. It’s hollow, plastic, and the antenna comes off to hold BBs. It’s fairly cheap.

Better images here: http://www.airsoftpost.com/star-high-quality-walkie-talkie-type-airsoft-loader-movie-prop-p-24538.html

Not a better price, though. Lol.

RuBain · August 12, 2009, 7:04pm

You’re kidding, right? It’s clearly styled to be similar to the MT-500, and I imagine it is done like this to stay away from copyright issues with Motorola.

UltimateGBfan · August 12, 2009, 7:06pm

No since trying to argue with him Rubain,clearly he is the god of the uniforms,I mean who else is gonna put ppl down for buying a Rotcho suit?

RuBain · August 12, 2009, 7:11pm

Yea, I know.

RuBain · August 12, 2009, 7:28pm

Just for kicks I hopped on the PS3 to get a closer look of the radio. I don’t know how to take screen shots so I took pic with the camera. :sigh:

Anyways, the “made-up name and logo” of the radio is…

Unknown, as it appears it has no name or logo. They have been scratched out and unreadable.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · August 12, 2009, 10:59pm

I think some_guy is right.

It’s defintley not a MT500.

It does resemble the picture he has posted.

section33 · August 12, 2009, 11:42pm

I did a little research before and I think it looks more like the motorola mt2100

Some_Guy · August 13, 2009, 12:45am

Why yes, yes it does. But like with the MT500’s problem; it’ll probably be obnoxiously bulky and heavy.

By looking at it, half of the “Jedi Series” Motorola Jedi Series - The RadioReference Wiki Looks similar to the shoulder mic they used.

kind2311 · August 13, 2009, 12:50am

[sarcasm]yeah its clearly styled to be similar the MT500 and not the MT2100 . . . . . . .[/sarcasm]

:sigh:

Some_Guy · August 13, 2009, 1:05am

Further Proof. After some Image overlapping and perspective tweaking (Only slightly), it could be a MT2100.

Everything lines up rather well.

EDIT: Actually, AJ pointed something out when I brought it up in the Chat. It also looks remarkably like the MTS2000:

Even more-so then the MT2100.

But what I can definitely say; it ain’t no MT500.

Ron_Daniels · August 13, 2009, 1:06am

It looks like a generic Motorola unit really. I’m not convinced it’s a slim line, if you look at the bottom of it in the shot of Egon outside the library - you can see the bottom panel’s width is a little under half of the width of the radio. While that’s off from the MT-500 it is also off of the slim line model.

aj-quick · August 13, 2009, 2:04am

Isn’t the logo on the radio the Terminal Reality logo?

Also.. MTS2000!

RuBain · August 13, 2009, 2:29am

Yep, the MT500 and MT2100 look nothing alike at all! It isn’t like they have similar builds or are even made by the same company! Instead of trying to start pointless fights, why don’t you try to help? :sigh:

The 1st 2 shots are of a MT2100 I found online, the next 3 are angle shots of the MTS2000, and compare them to the shots of the game radio I took just a sec ago.

Blimey. I seem to have stirred up a bit of a hornet’s nest here! What I should have said was that the radio on the shoulder strap ‘looks’ like an MT500. As RuBain says, it’s clearly styled after an MT500, but copyright issues would have meant they had to tweak it a bit. I’m not sure the logo on the radio is the Terminal Reality logo. In close-up game pics (as seen in the Prima Guide), the name on the radio is ‘Mcintosh’. Maybe it refers to someone who worked on the game? The radio also only has two dials on it, similar to the MT2100.

I have to say though, I was wondering how an MT500 would even attach to a shoulder strap. I might pick up the MT2100 for my outfit!

I also quite like the green leg tubes on the cover of the game. Nice to have the option of wearing a yellow, clear or green tube for variety.

kingpin · August 13, 2009, 10:47am

One version of the MT500, which I own, has its own plastic clip on the back for putting it onto a belt with needing a holster.

Bulletproof70 · August 13, 2009, 12:13pm

Just checked the video game’s credits and one of the Character Artists is Ian McIntosh, which could explain the ‘McIntosh’ fake Motorola logo on the radios.
