Coming July 12th! Four players, girls and guys, must don their proton packs to exterminate the paranormal. Based on the new movie and available for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Windows PC (via Steam).
*Activision Publishing, Inc., in collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, has announced a pair of new Ghostbusters video games set in and inspired by the comedic action world of the upcoming Ghostbusters film, in theaters July 15. Taking place after the events of the new movie, both Ghostbusters games introduce new casts of rookies keeping watch over the station while the now-famous Ghostbusters tour the country stopping high-profile poltergeists. When paranormal phenomena unleash apparitions across New York City, these new squads of recruits must don their proton packs and wrestle those rogue spirits back to the afterlife!
The console game, Ghostbusters, is a third-person action role-playing game positively charged for thrilling couch co-op with up to four players locally. As rookie Ghostbusters, players can level up their characters’ gear and abilities by tackling objectives, defeating ghastly creatures and discovering hidden collectibles in Manhattan’s most haunted haunts. There are four heroes to choose from, and each has his or her own unique personality and play style, bringing special strengths to support the team.
Ghostbusters is expected to arrive on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam on July 12.
The mobile game, Ghostbusters: Slime City, lets players be a Ghostbuster and save New York City from a new wave of threats. Team up with other players in asynchronous co-op, and collect powerful ghosts to rise to the top of the leaderboards. Players can also craft their own proton packs from any number of combinations of components, as well as upgrade their own headquarters and complete jobs around the city for new weapons and rewards.
Ghostbusters: Slime City is expected to launch in July on select iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices via the App Store, select Android devices via Google Play and select Kindle devices through the Amazon Appstore.*
Fn horrible!!! When i heard about the game a few weeks ago i was happy thinking about the newer console graphics etc. smh!!! Who the hell is running the ghostbusters division @ sony!! Pacc your fn box up and leave!!!
This is the first thing to do with the new film I’ve seen that has really underwhelmed me. SoS casts a long and grim shadow, perhaps, but anything that looks like a PS2 version of that game will always leave me cautious.
It’s a shame it’s so rushed, they should have waited and made a better game. Even if it was released in Q3/Q4 to coincide with the movie DVD release, I’d be down for that.
Noticed there’s a slime-worshiping cult involved in the story now and they used the made up name, I think I made at the wiki, for the Mobile X-Ray Machine in the RGB episode “Future Tense” and the ‘Boson Caster’ term for Ron’s pack (I forget who coined it).
okay the actresses they chose for the film were bad enough, and then when I saw the 2016 ecto1 I was a little bit more upset and now after seeing this game trailer…
God the franchise is going completely down the toilet. Everything looks like a kids joke anymore. Maybe their target audience is supposed to be children but god everything I see is looking more and more horrible. I have faith that the film will be alright because of the story and the cameos and such, but wow… everything is really disappointing me.
Well, to be fair: kids were the main reason GB got this big in the first place.
How old were you when you first saw GB and fell in love? It makes sense to target children when creating toys and games.
All the merchandise you know matured with you as you grew up and with the new movie, kids are one of the main new incomes as they have a longer lifespan to sell stuff to. So yeah, you are not going to be the target audience for all thing GB related, just because we all got well ‘old’.
