Ghostbusters

[Gimpymoo]

Well, the game was ON, then it was OFF, then it was MAYBE.. now, REJOICE, it is GO GO GO.

Think back to these videos:

Not long ago, Zootfly, a Slovenian video game studio, released a number of videos depicting a Ghostbusters game in prototype form. The game was often rumored to be in development for the Xbox 360, although the rumors did eventually die.

Why, you ask? It turns out that Zootfly were no longer developing the Ghostbusters game, because another company purchased the Ghostbusters intellectual property from Sony Pictures. That company was Universal Pictures, if Dan Aykroyd's Blues Brothers interview with Edmonton Sun is to be believed.

Now the news is ringing out that Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Bill Murray will be on board for more than just voice acting. In fact, reports are coming in that all three will also take up writing roles for the video game's plot. That's interesting considering that both Ramis and Aykroyd wrote both movies.

And here's the real winner: it's not an Xbox 360-only title. The game is going multiplatform, since its been reported that the Ghostbusters video game will arrive on the PC, Sony PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Now everybody would be a winner if only someone could get Aykroyd to make another movie.

This pretty much confirms the above story:

I remember hearing about the Zootfly version aaaages ago, the technology was pretty slick and it looked good. It's a pity they aren't making it anymore, but they have another project in the pipeline. I'll await this one with great hope that it can equal, if not better, what I have already seen.

It is likely Zootfly will release the game you see in the videos just with their own IP and not the Ghostbusters licensing.

Wiimote as Proton Gun and Nunchuck as a Ghost Trap

My initial thought was:

WII

The potential for the Wii version is HUUUUUUUUGE.

it'd only be cool if the wiimote comes with a giant yellow foam add-on

AGREED.

Multiplayer Co-op could be great.

Who moved this from the PC Section?

I CREATED A POST IN BOTH FORUMS AS THE GAME IS FOR BOTH PC AND CONSOLES.

WHY DID THE PC BIOSHOCK THREAD NOT GET MOVED TO THE CONSOLE SECTION?

Please can the post be moved back to the PC section.

Sorry, I was annoyed

Just seems as though some mod came along and without reading anything started wielding their powers.

I even quoted it, in Capitals

Im not perfect and make my own share of mistakes so i'll stop moaning about it now, although if someone could put my Original thread back into the PC Forum, it would be appreciated.
