I find myself not being afraid of not that as well. | |
looks pretty good | |
If I'm allowed to say it, that looks very good. I'm not excited, but far more interested than before. | |
after so many failed tries can they make a good Ghost buster game..... hope.... hope..... maybe.... no =( | |
I want it, I want it, I want it, me me me me me me!!!!! | |
Awwww... They cut the themesong short. | |
Dear gods, with this and the new Batman game coming out, the end of the world must be upon us. And it will be GLORIOUS! Can't wait to kick Stay-Puft's candy butt all over the Big Apple. | |
I really despriatly hope this is good. Will it be? Who knows... | |
But it is a movie game written by the original writers, has the original cast, and, as you stated, has the Ghostbusters spirit. Not to mention their movies have been around for years, so maybe it's finally time for another quality movie-game franchise. | |
Seriously, this is gonna be great. (The reason Zeddmore isn't in the intro is that he hadn't been hired by that point.) :) | |
Afraid not, my friend. This takes place in 1991. The Ghostbusters fought Gozer in 1986. Winston Zeddmore's been part of the Ghostbusters for six years! | |
Ah, that takes me back, the Ghostbuster theme specifically :). Seriously hoping this will be a good game here! | |
Who knows, maybe they will actually pull off a GOOD Ghostbusters game. | |
I'm concerned about the main character in this game. A fifth Ghostbuster... That doesn't talk (from what I understand)... And that in all likelyhood will be the real hero, while the other guys just get in his way like NPC followers always do. Still, if anyone could write a story that gets this to make sense -- or that understands it's impossible, goes "fuck it", and packs the game with self-irony -- it's probably Aykroyd and Ramis. So I'm gonna say I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. | |
Maybe Wilson is on Vacation. Or he's franchising the service somewhere else, like... Ghettysburg! | |
Ah, but young padwan, Zeddmore was hired from the proceeds of that advert. The advert itself is 5 years old at that point. | |
Why do they need to advertise anymore if they've become a public service? | |
Public service? Are you kidding? They get paid a shit ton of money to do what they did. Remember the negotiations after they caught slimer the first time? | |
Laaaame preveiw, probably average game. | |
From what I've heard, at this point they've been hired by the city, and are actually working under Walter Pecker - sorry, Peck (aka Dickless). Also wierd, apparently the guys who wrote The Office (the American one, the one with Steve Carell) are writing a script for an actual third movie. Interesting.... | |
This looks better then crank. | |
I thought they weren't interested in doing a 3rd movie at all... Somehow I don't think an actual 3rd movie would work out as well. | |
I don't think a third movie could capture the spirit of the first two films... not that I'm closed to change (psyched for this game), but after a film series has been laid to rest for awhile, it needs to stay there. Look at Indiana Jones... the magic is just lost overtime. I think the actors are still amazing, but I don't think they could replicate something after so long. | |
Really hope this turns out decent, i like that they got all the original actors to do the voices that is always a nice touch. | |
I've actually played a demo of this game at Comic Con. I know this is going to sound weird, but it actually plays like the Ghostbusters as well. Those proton guns (or were they called something else) function like they do in the movie and even the Ghost Trap works like that too. I can definitely give you guys home for this one. | |
man that video was awesome I cant wait for this game. | |
Want! | |
Fucking A! | |
Oh, I'm excited about this now. | |
Ah, it'll be good to see the original cast back together. What platforms is this slated to be on? | |
May I draw your attention to the Mega Drive (Genesis) version. Spent hours on that as a kid. | |
Somewhat related for those of you who felt that the theme was painfully cut short. | |
That's what I thought. | |
Who ya gonna call? | |

I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghostbusters Intro Movie
To quote Ray Parker, Jr.: "Bustin' makes me feel good" (Ghostbustin', to be precise.) So does the newly-unveiled intro movie to the upcoming Ghostbusters videogame.
We knew the original cast was coming back. We knew the original writers were doing the script. But somehow, it isn't until I saw this intro movie that it really hit me: This game has the Ghostbusters spirit (no pun intended) in spades.
Maybe it's the uncomfortable and awkward in-game commercial advertising the counter-paranormal services. Maybe it's the off-screen terror in the museum (and the nice little preview in the closed circuit monitors). Maybe it's the way that the familiar theme song strikes up over the recognizable wails of Ecto-1(B)'s siren. Maybe it's the way that Winston isn't in the intro at all, but it doesn't get more Ghostbusters than this.
I know I shouldn't be letting myself get excited. It's a movie game, and movie games are always bad (unless Vin Diesel is involved). But honestly, part of me doesn't care - if the rest of the game is going to be the Ghostbusters III that we've been waiting for for years, I'm willing to put up with mediocre - even sub-par - gameplay for it.
June can't get here soon enough.
