SDCC: First Look at Ghostbusters the Video Game

Egon and Spangler? Someone doesn't know their ghostbusters!!

I will be picking this one up for PS3.

I hope this game does in fact come out. Some were reporting this week that it wasn't, as it was missing from the Activision/Blizzard publishing schedule (along with other titles). Sierra has informed folks that it is not in fact canceled (the quote from their PR notification to destructoid.com: "It is not cancelled and will not be canceled", however Vivendi has told various sources that the only titles they're working on are Spyro, Crash, Prototype and an unannounced title (also the game adaption of the latest Mummy flick). So unfortunately we don't know who it is that doesn't know what they're talking about. :/ It'd be a shame to whack Ghostbusters as it's getting a lot of positive buzz, and I think that it's going to do very well given what we've seen about it so far. The general feeling is that they're shopping the game around for a different publisher, so it'd just mean that Sierra would develop it and someone else would pay to put it on shelves. With this thinking then both parties would be correct. Here's hoping!

I might have to buy a PS# for this game, and Web of Shadows
Damn!
I thought I could make it through my adult life without playng video games.

BTW where the hell are the photos of these scantily dressed Ghostbusters?

And I gotta jump in on the mis name bashing band wagon...Damn fool

This is the game that will finally make me get off my lazy butt and buy a PS3.

I was upset when I heard that they were thinking about making a Ghostbusters 3, but never got around to it. But this seems a lot better since now they can tell a whole lot more of a story with it.

I heard they were doing all the major scenes from the movies, but I kind of hope they leave out the Statue of Liberty part.

Heard on a local radio station that there was a rumor of an actual movie sequel w/ the original cast and possibly co-starring Steve Carrel and Seth Rogan. Any truth to the rumors??

There are all kinds of rumors flying about out there about the game (due date next year, now) and a movie. The game is real (I know I plyed the first level). The movie is a dream, Murray in Ghostbusters 3 (never gonna happen)? Who knows... just keeping checking... ~ Robert

just though I'd throw this out there for any enthusiast who are jonesing for some new Ghostbusting action. There are a few fan films that are pretty good. NOT GREAT, but at least TV quality (maybe) and I've managed to sit through them both. They're not great but a cool romp if you're jonesing for some Ghostbusting. The rumors have been around for 3-4 years of a new movie installment. @ years ago Ben Stiller was rumored to be attached to a screenplay then Dan Ackroyd was saying there would be a CGI installment both of these were tenatively titled "Ghostbusters go to Hell"

But the rumor was Bill Murray wouldn't do it. Sux Venkman is my favorite.

Now there are many rumors that the Apatow gang might be up to the tsak with cameos from the original four handing over the franchise of Ghostbusting to new employees..

If they do it, I'M THERE!!!!!

"Busting makes me feel good"

A ghostbuster game. Sounds interesting to me.
Now as for the rumor for a third film, it should be handled with care.
A new set of people, and somewhere along the line two or three or maybe one from the origanl films has a short scene with the new team. Think military type, four different groups emgering in one spot then breaking off to save the day.But the film only focuses on one of the groups, sounds better than one group doing alot of damage.

Dan said there wouldn't be a Ghostbusters 3 movie but that instead the game would be Ghostbusters 3.

A new Ghostbusters movie/franchise would thus require a new cast.
