GESSO217 I believe so too, true ghostbusters 3 that was going to come out in 1991. The video game is set in 1991. That must have been their original release date for ghostbusters 3. I'm glad we got to play the game anyways.
I cannot WAIT for this game to come out I'm so excited :) It would be awesome if this spawned a 3rd movie. New ghost busters working under the now older ones, it really wouldn't be hard script to do. Take me back to the 80's and early 90's :-D
I'm happy we got this game, because it is amazing, from the marketing to Dan Akroyd calling those who preordered it. But so much more could have been done with this game, more patches, DLC content. Shame Atari shoved it out and pretended it didn't exist. Thanks for the non existent patches, and the terrible follow up Sanctum of Slime.We'll most likely never get another one even though the demand is there
@@yashshetye5985 if you're talking about the most recent Ghostbusters video game that was released, that game literally has none of the spirit of the Ghostbusters series and has no connection to either version of the franchise. By either version I mean the original cast movies and the all-female cast. It's just a cheap cash grab
my 4 year old son is a big fan of Monster House, so we introduced him to the Ghostbuster movies & cartoons. He loves them, he was so excited when he saw the commercials for the game!
I like how Sony is releasing another Ghostbusters movie with the original cast with the exception of one as a way of saying, "I'm sorry" to the fans for the 2016 reboot.
@DanielBMS 1. The second ghostbuster draged the ghost to himself to capture it. 2. The view is fine. 3. Yes; Programing ain't easy, but draging a ghost around the room would have been a nice adition. You're right on not being an expected Ghostbusters game, fun none the less.
What I meant was that there was an even older film property that a video game was created from, which was The Great Escape, with Steve McQueen. The film came out in the 60's, not the game, which came out around 2002 for PC, PS2, and Xbox.
@BRENTHENRY1989 There isn't much to this game, but it is all we wanted for almost 25 years now. Just a simple Ghostbusters game, where all you have to do is blast ghosts. I think that since this game came out, the franchise could stand a re-release, but We are all still satisfied with this game.
If you think thats old, there was a game made based off the film, The Great Escape, which came out during the 60's!!! Talk about going way back for a movie property. It even had Steve McQueen's voice and likeness from the film itself.
I just figured out what that green slime is! It is called the "Ecto-Splat" It is like the slime blower in GB 2..Expect it uses Ecto Plasma at high jet speeds to harm or break up a ghost made of ecto plasma. It was never used in the movies only the comics and it makes a "Zzax" Sound. :)
actually he did. he said that the gameplay was pretty basic for a 3rd person shooter and the real appeal is the detail they put into making it a Ghostbusters experience
Have you seen the episode of the animated series where they explain how Slimer came to live with them? It's a lot like that, except the others warmed up to him really fast because he made it clear that he was friendly, while Peter was always trying to blast him. But, yeah, I'm not saying they should be as buddy buddy as in the cartoon, but he could be haunting the firehouse on a friendly basis, and I'd prefer only Peter to be the one who still tries to blast him. A more believable pet scenario.
So freakin' psyched for this! Ghostbusters is back! The animated series just got a volume 1 wide release, there's a badass Hallmark ornament of the Ecto 1 coming out this year that plays the theme song, and they're apparently going to make a 3rd film after all! We need some sweet action figs of the actual Ghostbusters now though, and I wish they'd befriend Slimer in this, like in the cartoon show. I'm going to be annoyed if he's not their pet in the third film, though I'll be surprised if he is.
I know what that green slime is! Its like the slime in Ghostbusters 2 expect the equipment uses a jet stream of ectoplasma to damage or breakup ghosts! :) The Ghosts are made of ectoplasma so it uses what they are made of to break them up. It makes a "Zzax" sound too. :) I bet you anything you use that before the proton pack to weaken them and then capture them.
Alright then, fair enough. My point was that Ghostbusters isn't the old film to receive a new video game makeover. And out of those films I mentioned, GB is the only one that makes sense due to the idea of eliminating Ghosts, demons and other supernatural entities.
They had just that in the "SEGA (original 8-bit) game. You could customize the car and I think the equipment. Yea I said it 8 bit graphics. Good memories.
d'aw jeez, i didn't realize this game was coming out so soon! just bought prototype, looks like i'm shellin' out more dough for this one too. guess my weeknights are gonna be packed, hah, goodbye sleep, hello being late to work.
Gotta disagree on that one. I'm not saying they should be patting him on the head and saying, "Hey, little fella." There are ways it could be done and done great. Just having him "live" in the firehouse and having them acknowledge him as Slimer, maybe tossing him a donut or something, would be fine. It's no different or more cartoony than Slimer randomly giving Louis a ride in Ghostbusters 2.
Agreed...for a first effort I was very impressed...but driving the ecto 1 would make it a hundred times better....though I like that they made fun of you not being able to drive it in the game...made it less of an oversight...
Bah, that was one of the best ideas of the show, even if they overused him at times and shouldn't have given him his own shorts towards the end of the run. They keep including him in the movies/games because of his popularity, so it would make more sense and be easier for them if they borrowed the "pet" aspect from the cartoon.
Atari pays royalties for use of the copyrights to Columbia Pictures. Atari probably developed the game and went to Columbia for permission to release the game.
i cant wait, even if it sucks i probably wont care just because of the novelty of the ghostbusters. even still the gameplay does look quite enjoyable and fun so we'll see.
Tastybedsore, are you talking about the game being pushed up? It was actually delayed, was supposed to be out last year but EA bought Vivendi and decided they didn't want to slap Sierra on there as the publisher and they sat out their butts before putting the Atari label on it. :-P
I would love a modern open world Ghostbusters title.
I am hoping for a full Lego Game based on Ghostbusters 1 and 2 and maybe a new story...
Señor Cactus Gaming, Toys, Sketches and More!
Oh man, that would be all kinds of awesome too. Closest we have right now is Lego Dimensions.
where you could drive the ecto!!!
Would love a GTA/Simpsons: Hit & Run-style Ghostbusters game too!
It's a great game. I lost count of how many times I've played through single player and I still haven't gotten tired of it.
Yeah, I even played the whole entire game without even stopping, and I did that 2 times! This is my 12th time completing it right now.
As far as I'm concerned this Game is Ghostbusters 3.
GESSO217 I believe so too, true ghostbusters 3 that was going to come out in 1991. The video game is set in 1991. That must have been their original release date for ghostbusters 3. I'm glad we got to play the game anyways.
This is a cannon game
*Canon.
Cannons are artillery.
Canon is lore related to a story.
agreed
Well this game does take place in 1991 and that was when the producers originally wanted to release Ghostbusters 3 but couldn't
I cannot WAIT for this game to come out I'm so excited :) It would be awesome if this spawned a 3rd movie. New ghost busters working under the now older ones, it really wouldn't be hard script to do. Take me back to the 80's and early 90's :-D
I Hope they make another one and you can drive the Ecto 1 to the location.

most likely what?
+The Ultimate never get another
Shane McDonie i heard the 2016 female reboot version of game was made available on Steam. I'm not buying that crap and you shouldn't either!!!

@@mattgerrish908 yup...it's probably taken off
I like the HD game. It feels like you are actually in the game.
my 4 year old son is a big fan of Monster House, so we introduced him to the Ghostbuster movies & cartoons. He loves them, he was so excited when he saw the commercials for the game!
This game was really fun to play, I like how they got the actual voices from the cast instead of some cheap knockoff inpersonators.
YAY! I played this at E3!! IT IS SO FUN!!! CAN"T WAIT TO PLAY THE WHOLE THING!!!
if there is another ghost busters game it should still be like this because it was fantastic! It made you feel a lot like a ghost buster!
I'm gonna get that game so I can celebrate the 30th Anniversary :)
Bustin makes me feel so good!
I like how Sony is releasing another Ghostbusters movie with the original cast with the exception of one as a way of saying, "I'm sorry" to the fans for the 2016 reboot.
Oo
They really need to make a part 2 for this!
PC version will be released on June 16, 2009. Cheers!
After all these years........BUSTIN' MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!
Yes. All four original actors lended their voice talents, including Bill Murrey.
I love that they use the characters from the movies instead of making them traditional, super muscular, hero types.
I had wait for this video game for more than 20 years.. Fiiinaly!!!
i think any child of the 80's can agree that ghostbusters was a huge part of their childhood
This game rocked the freakin house. Now I want another Ghostbusters game.

LOL at 0:30 Cute! Remind me of the good old days:)
I wanted to thank everyone for making this game for us and hope you keep making more! Good Times!!
Bro a Next gen console Ghost busters open world would go wild, like spider man on PS5
If you think thats old, there was a game made based off the film, The Great Escape, which came out during the 60's!!! Talk about going way back for a movie property. It even had Steve McQueen's voice and likeness from the film itself.
I ain't 'fraid o' no ghost! A giant marshmallow man on the other hand...
AKA The Michelin Man
0:31 Ecto's a mobile containment unit now? That's awesome!
Just realized that today, too. Can't wait!

OMG I Love it I'm so glad its finally coming out T.T I Love Ghostbusters so much
Wow they actually made that game look enjoyable to play.
I WANT MY GHOSTBUSTERS DEMO!! i cant wait another week! Anyone know when the demo comes out huh huh huh?
actually he did. he said that the gameplay was pretty basic for a 3rd person shooter and the real appeal is the detail they put into making it a Ghostbusters experience
more than what I expected.

he did at E3. he said it was better than he thought it would be
I know XGB had the modified garbage truck mobile containment unit for it's finale. That's the only time I ever remember anything like that b4.
You better believe it. Bustin' makes me feel good!
I believe Tuesday is it's street date so places like Gamestop and such should have it in stock tomorrow morning.
One week o man been waiting for this for a long time
It's a sequel to Ghostbusters 2. The Story sees several previously-seen ghosts return.
i swear slimer still freaks me out to this day! lol
going to be a great game!
Oh sweet jesus I nearly cried when I heard the ORIGINAL ghost busters theme song!! For once someone licensing a game got it RIGHT!
If there would be a game to beat the "all movie based VGs suck" rule, it would be this one! I AM AMPED for this game!

As an animator I know Quality animators are hard to come by and in this game the animation are phenomenal best ive seen in a while

Ray.....When Someone Asks If You're A God You Say YES!!!!
yup, apparently a script was being worked on recently, and I heard production will happen in fall of 2009 I think
i love that theme song
I just drooled a little. This game looks amazing.
I know what that green slime is! Its like the slime in Ghostbusters 2 expect the equipment uses a jet stream of ectoplasma to damage or breakup ghosts! :)
The Ghosts are made of ectoplasma so it uses what they are made of to break them up. It makes a "Zzax" sound too. :)
I bet you anything you use that before the proton pack to weaken them and then capture them.
theyre hoping to begin production in the fall actually
14 whole years and still the best game
Completed this game first day lol
Alright then, fair enough.
My point was that Ghostbusters isn't the old film to receive a new video game makeover.
And out of those films I mentioned, GB is the only one that makes sense due to the idea of eliminating Ghosts, demons and other supernatural entities.
They had just that in the "SEGA (original 8-bit) game. You could customize the car and I think the equipment. Yea I said it 8 bit graphics. Good memories.
Hopefully the demo comes out tomarrow that would be awsom
it sure is fun to watch sometimes when you're bored though, lol
I actually want to play this! The rending of the original cast looks great!
this game looks so awesome. being a big ass ghostbusters fan. whooooooooo!
d'aw jeez, i didn't realize this game was coming out so soon!
just bought prototype, looks like i'm shellin' out more dough for this one too.
guess my weeknights are gonna be packed, hah, goodbye sleep, hello being late to work.

Agreed...for a first effort I was very impressed...but driving the ecto 1 would make it a hundred times better....though I like that they made fun of you not being able to drive it in the game...made it less of an oversight...
I have been waiting on this for since I was 7, I dont care what the reviews say I am buying this game
no shit man an all nighter for any fan
preordered it today, i cannot wait :)
its bout time there finally makin this game
Yeah I'm on the second time through the game on professional mode now.
I have this pre ordered. This game looks awesome. I heard there's going to be a third movie, that should be cool.
This looks awsome! It's funny to me that a video game would be based off of a 25yr old movie though. Guess the movie made that much of an impression!
I CAN'T WAIT!!
THIS GAME LOOK SICK!
Bah, that was one of the best ideas of the show, even if they overused him at times and shouldn't have given him his own shorts towards the end of the run. They keep including him in the movies/games because of his popularity, so it would make more sense and be easier for them if they borrowed the "pet" aspect from the cartoon.
...And, the story was written by Dan Akroid and Harold Ramis.
This looks soo much fun, Id buy it
damn this was a good game. The best movie game I played since spiderman 2.
DANG THE GAME LOOKS SOO serious!!! and hard
damn straight!!!! i order it when i first heard of it.
cant wait for it buying for 360
And there's an actual 3rd movie coming out in '10.
GREMLINS 3 that would be awesome!
Atari pays royalties for use of the copyrights to Columbia Pictures. Atari probably developed the game and went to Columbia for permission to release the game.

This Game Is Gonna Kick Ass On PS3!!!!
He has a point Atri is only publishing the game sure Atri did make a few bad games but that doesnt mean thsi game will kick ass!
