Title: Ghostbusters game is REAL!
Post by: Grindie on November 15, 2007, 08:57:23 am
I think the guys that made Scarface (one of the best GTA 'em ups if you ask me) are behind it, either that or it's just the same publisher, either way... GHOSTBUSTERS HITS ALL CONSOLES EVER (except N64 maybe) SOME TIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

I don't think it has anything to do with that Gears of War lookalike video that popped up on Youtube though, which is a shame. Don't really know much about it, but the Ghostbusters are writing the story and voicing the characters! Even if they game turns out to be shit, I'm gonna get this for the storyline.

IT JUST POPPED IN THERE!
Hold on... if this game is set AFTER Ghostbusters 2, what the hell is Stay Puft doing here!?

Never been a fan of Ghost Busters, but sounds like something I'd check out :D

Is that guy standing on the side of the building?

It's been years since I watched the movies but I don't remember that happening (did it?)!

The YouTube video was a concept, Bill Murray picked it up and decided to work with the team.

The fuck is up with that wall dangling bit, man? It looks so weird.

Looks cool, kinda like Luigi's Mansion really which makes sense I guess. Poor Slimer, though!

Haha, wow, did you watch till the end of that video? The guy was like "So are you concerned about scores, what IGN wrote, or just sales, blahblah" and the chick was like "Oh, just sales, hahaha!"

Man, what a viewpoint to adopt. I mean, I can sorta see why, but still.

That chick is just the editor of some site/mag.

AS seen in from the Slimer battle, I think this game also goes through the first two movies. Which would be awesome.

Man, I'm pretty sure they are two different games, they don't look similar at all.

anyway, awesome news, I almost got an erection when I heard this.

Aye. The old game was by some guys called Zootfly, this one isn't. If Zootfly actually got their way and were able to produce the game, I bet it'd be brilliant since it was born out of a genuine love of the movies. This one is being made by one of those... companies! Y'know, those guys who like money! I bet it'll be average at best.

Dude it looks so awesome, but usually developers drop the ball when working on franchises like these. Its a shame that its probably gonna suck.

I wonder if they include multiplayer mode as well. That would be the shit.

Co-op's been confirmed.

Oh awesome. I've been waiting for co-op modes in pc games and it became a trend nowadays. Good.

Watch this! I'm gonna deflate everyone's excitement over this game with a few simple words.

Developed by the guys who made Bloodrayne.

See?

Aaaah yeah. Seems this is the case.

I don't think this'll be average though, it still has Dan + Bill backing it!!



Plus it looks amazing as hell.

Aye, but Dan and Bill aren't really known for their game designing skills.

Grindie is right.  As cool as a new Ghostbusters game could be, you shouldn't forget that this is a game based on a movie - and you know how those often turn out.  Touting the actors name as behind it is not enough to put my fears aside.

What I can't figure out is how come all the video of this game seems to depict scenes from the movies when it is supposed to be a new "movie" altogether?  Maybe they are just tech demos.

But they will at least make sure it stays true to the franchise, which is good.

Or will they? Maybe they don't even care. "Bust ghosts, on an out of control jumbo jet spinning through the air, wearing a clown mask? Hey it's a game, this is what they're all about right!"
