It is, but I think it's an all new story, Dan Akroyd and such are contributing their voices and I think writing for it

Does this have anything to do with that Gears of Wars-esque tech demo that was floating around earlier this year?
-
no

fucking excellent. Bill Murray had better be involved too. There had better be a gag involving the X360 power supply and how it looks like a ghost trap. game anticipation level: really high
-
Fuck yes. Ghostbusters.
-
Hopefully Ray Parker Jr makes a cameo appearance sporting a disgusting low poly model
-
Isn't Dan Akroyd insane now? This game is going to rock
-
I wonder if it's going to have the plot for the proposed GBIII movie I read a few years ago. Basically, the Ghostbusters are brought out of retirement because Hell is beginning to erupt through the Earth's surface - specifically in New York. There was some talk of evil doppelgangers of all the GB gang wreaking havoc throughout the city, if I remember correctly.

:yuck
there was never a good ghostbusters game to begin with. and the brand equity it built up in the 80s is pretty insignificant to the youngings. unless a new movie is coming out, which i'm assuming is probably the case.
-
wtf, both the Genesis and Master System games were awesome

come on stop lying

to be honest, i haven't tried the SMS one. but the genesis one was OKAY.

Everyone involved wants a new ghosbusters. All except Murray. He refuses to do one so there will never be a part 3. So no movie tie in.
-
Does Murray say WHY he won't do a third movie?
-
oh, hes above that kind of thing now. Hes satisfied with demeaning himself in dogshit Wes Anderson pictures
-
Was that statement made before or after he provided his voice for GARFIELD and its wonderful sequel?
-
oh wtf I didnt know that :-X
I guess the reason why he's turning down Ghostbusters is.... hes a cunt
-
there was a ghostbusters arcade game i remember liking. top-down shooter sort of thing -- though who knows if it was actually any good
-
The Genesis game I vaguely remember was fairly decent... I can not, for the life of me, figure out wtf you're supposed to do in the SMS game.
-
With Murray it's an age thing now. He thinks (rightly so) that they're all a bit too old for another GB. I mean, take a look at these guys nowadays - it would be sort of pathetic to watch them huff and puff through another sequel. He's hip to doing voiceover for a CGI version of GB, though, where the characters could remain ageless. I forget where I read those comments, but it was around the same time that "game" video emerged.
-
yeah its pretty complicated for an 8-bit game. baiscally the buildings start flashing which means ghosts are gonna turn up there, then you play the driving minigame, then you catch the ghosts. the hardest part of the game is figuring out the right items to buy at the beginning. so you go aroung busting ghosts, emptying your traps a they fill up. the goal is to get $10000 before time runs out. if you do you get up to the weird climbing stairs, shooting level, then you face the last boss. I completed the game :(

GBIII was also supposed to have a new generation of Ghostbusters in it, including Chris Rock and Chris Farley.
During his interview with CISN Country, Dan Aykroyd announced that Ghostbusters III: Hellbent will be CGI. "I can do all the things I wanted to do for much, much less money," he stated. Aykroyd wrote the script, which was described by IGN as being "too technical", with a new team of Ghostbusters that were not clearly delineated and had no group conflict or leading personalities.[22] Bill Murray has been thought to have held up the making of a third Ghostbusters movie, despite Aykroyd's enthusiasm, due to his desire not to do another live action movie and his dislike of sequels.[23] However, he has now signed on to make the movie now that it will be CGI.[24] Harold Ramis is already attached. Sigourney Weaver has not expressed enthusiasm at doing another sequel.[25] Harold Ramis mentioned in 2005 that he wanted Ben Stiller to take Bill Murray's part in the then titled Ghostbusters in Hell.[26][27] The plot was to follow the three Ghostbusters attempting to find a replacement for Bill Murray's character while dealing with ghosts rejected from hell.[28] Aykroyd later elaborated, now that Murray is on board, that in the movie "We go to the hell side of Manhattan, downtown, Foley Square. It's all where the cops are--they are all blue minotaurs. Central Park is this huge peat mine with green demons there, surrounded by black onyx thousand-foot high apartment buildings with classic red devils, very wealthy. We go and visit a Donald Trump-like character who is Mr. Sifler. Luke Sifler. Lu-cifer. So we meet the devil in it".[29] Jason Reitman, the son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, has stated little interest in directing the movie

GI gets a lot of exclusives previews.

They should probably rip off Luigi's Mansion's gameplay but make it more than three hours long.

I think I remember that. In the Ikari Warriors/Mercs vein, right?
If it's emulated, I have the MAME rom.

they'll probably just rip off Gears of War. everyones doing it

I thought Gears of War ripped off RE4?
-
sort of... it definitely got some ideas from RE4 but the game plays quite differently. GoW is all about fire-fights, flanking, finding cover and hiding. Where Re4 is full frontal ganado smashin' action comedy
-
yeah, sort of mercsy. i remember playing it co-op.
-
Hey, they did a remake of The Warriors (where is the new movie anyways?) .. which is far more obscure and older than Ghostbusters ever was.
The problem with this concept is that the source material is a comedy. So, you are relying on people who develop games to be funny .. which almost never works (save for a few choice PC point and click games).
So, just playing fantasy developer here .. I would base my game off of the stylings of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. Even looking up the writers to punch up a script for it. That GB universe would work much better for a video game than basing it off of 20 year old movies.
edit: Reading more into it, it appears that Harold Ramis is doing writing for it too. That would be a huge score and might give this game a better chance.
-
I will kill for a decent Ghostbusters game - even a mediocre, albeit pretty one.
