Hey guys,

So, I had an awesome night last night.

* I got to meet and talk to Ivan Reitman. Found out his take on Ghostbusters 3.

* I played the full version of the Wii game extensively.

* And I got to watch Ghostbusters in Blu-ray on the big screen.

I wrote all about it in an article for a website I freelance for: collider.com

Here’s a link to the site:

And here’s a direct link to the article:

Let me know if you have any questions about the game, and I’ll try to answer them as best I can!

Oh, and one last piece of news, a rep from Atari is emailing me today the date that the demo is going to be released. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out.

Enjoy!

Very well written !

Love it.

The part about GB3 almost made me tear up.

I want this movie sooo bad.

Thank you for this great article. :cool:

Good stuff man! Thanks for linking us!

Hey, I appreciate it. Thanks guys. I’ll let you know what else I find out.

5

We certainly look forward to it.

Reitman talking before Blu Ray screening..

Awesome! Glad to see that vid has been posted. Thanks.

8

AWESOME!!!

I would love to see a Ghostbusters 3! I just hope they stay true to the first two movies.

9

Any word on the Demo? Monday? Thursday? … Never?

10

The demo will be released in 11 days…

11

lol. At this point, I really don’t care about the demo anymore.

12

I’d still like to see a demo this weekend, but if we don’t have one by … say tuesday… I’m going to give up on it. I mean, with 7 days left until the game will we really need a demo? :whatever:

13

So, I now have 2 contacts at Atari, and have emails out to both of them. One of them already got back to me with:

"Hey there- I believe its sometime next week- but will let you know for sure.

Thanks again!"

I’m following up with her today in hopes of getting that exact date. Will let you guys know as soon as I know.

btw, ROBOrob, just wanted to take a sec and acknowledge your awesome countdown pics. Seeing them change from week to week has helped keep me “focused” over the last couple months. Would love to see a thread/post that contains all of them, just for memories sake and all.

14

Thanks. Unfortunately I’ve trashed most of 'em. The random ones I still have saved are 7 & 4 months, weeks 2, 3, & 8 -16;

…and of course days 12-1. Maybe I’ll put them all in the same file and post them on the 16th.

15

Did you happen to receive any updates on this? I thought for sure we would see it sometime today. (Being the 25th anniversary and all.)

16

Huh, I guess Atari’s employees don’t even know when the demo will surface.

17

Great article.

The GB2 part was interesting:

18

No they really don’t, but thats allright. Cause in 5 days we will be playing it. It still strikes me as odd that the demo is almost a year old, and they still haven’t released it before the game.
