Speaking in an exclusive interview with PSU, Terminal Reality Executive Producer Brendan Goss explains why the PlayStation 3 was chosen as the lead development platform for Ghostbusters: The Videogame and believes that the final result on Sony’s console should be “amazing.”
The reason why Ghostbusters: The Videogame wasn’t developed earlier, he says, was because Terminal Reality were waiting for the technology to do the game justice. The PS3 was its first choice.
“Sony and the talent were adamant that before they got involved with a Ghostbusters game, the tech had to be capable of providing an authentic Ghostbusters experience, and that required graphics and physics tech,” he told PSU.
The developer also spoke about the Infernal Engine, which is used to power Ghostbusters: The Videogame, stating that Sony’s console is ideal for such technology.
“The PS3 is a more demanding system to develop on and it is what the Infernal Engine was designed to exploit from the ground up. With the multiple SPU’s it has onboard a solid multithreaded engine design can really take advantage of that and give you some amazing results.”
In addition, Goss also confirmed that there will be exclusive content for PS3 owners.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame is due to launch June 2009 to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the movie.
Seriously? Most Circuit Citys are just doing 10% off of MSRP which is actually higher than what they usually sell things for… but definitely worth a look!
the only flaw about the ps3 is it’s download capacity, when you download either a demo or brand new software it goes at a verry verry slow pace.just wanted to bring that to your attention.
I found out after the fact. My brother went up to one of the C.Cities in my area that were going “out of business” and found the place nearly empty. He spoke to the manager, and he said that they had been selling everything at crazy low prices. Consoles @ $100.00, games @ $10.00, Bluray dvds @ $5.00 etc…
If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure the company as a whole went bankrupt, so keep an eye on your local Circuit Cities; 'cause they too will probably start selling items at ridiculously low prices.
they better! that would be awful to strand us 360 owners. they usually don’t do that do they? i mean its usually one game for one console (see halo or little big planet) or its all consoles for one game right and they get everything right?!
All depends on the game. Sometimes each console gets something different that’s exclusive, sometimes only one gets something thats exclusive. Most of the time though, that exclusive content becomes available to download on the other consoles at a later date. Like SC4 where Yoda was a 360 exclusive and Vader a PS3 exclusive, or Spider-Man 3, where only the PS3 version got New Goblin as a playable character, all of which are now available on the other consoles.
Yes but look at GTA4, on both ps3 and 360 and the new content is only available on the 360. I do hope it comes out for the ps3 but that would be a long while if it even does come out.
