Well, it's official, and Surfer Girl was correct: there's most certainly a Ghostbusters videogame in the works.
Game Informer is set to reveal all of the information on the upcoming game -- which is said to be a sequel to two films -- in their next issue. Talent from the original films, Harold Ramis, Billy Murray, and Dan Aykroyd are teaming up on both scriptwriting and voice work for the title.
Not much is known about the game at this time, but all should be revealed in December issue, which should hit mail boxes any day now.
[Update: Just so we're clear, this is not the Zootfly game that had "leaked" awhile back; this is not Gearsbusters of War. Keep that in mind, and please stop jumping to conclusions before having even seen the game. Keep your pants on until the magazine comes out.]

From what I remember, rumor was that the only thing holding this "movie-game" back was Bill Murray, but it seems he is signed on, which is SOLID news. I'm super stoked.
Wow, this is the coolest news for a gamer like me. I still remember having fun with the Ghostbusters Spectrum game, back in the day.
I love the films (well the original and best one) and the animated series sense of dark humour. Great to see they have the original cast on board too.
I'll now go away and build pictures of it in my head. Long live the 80's.
And don't slime me either..
Even if it does, I PRAY that it's good. If we can't get a new movie at least we could get an amazing sequel in game form.
That was Zootfly, who were working on another IP when the Ghostbusters thing "fell through." I don't think this is the same game, but I don't know anything about it.
How bout mother f*cking Ernie Hudson? Can't be Ghostbusters without Winston.
"Tell him about the Twinkie."
I hope that they make this a good video game FIRST, as opposed to making a Ghostbusters game first and then tacking on shitty gameplay. I don't know how to NOT have low expectations for this. Still, great news. Hopefully it rocks. It's awesome to see Ramis, Murray, and Aykroyd onboard.
(well... it was more about a farting ghost video w/ E-lemon...)
I'm quite suprised, the reason we haven't seen any more Ghostbusters things is because of him, he hates Ghostbusters because he never wanted to do it in the first place, he only did it because it was the only way the studio would approve some crappy artsy film he wanted to make, Ghostbusters was a hit and is fondly remembered even today, his other flick bombed horribly.
All I can say is, 4 player co-op is MUST for a game like this.
This may be the best thing Murray has done since Rushmore.
It was rumored for a long time, but Surfer Girl recently said that it was definitely coming in 2009. So yeah, she got this one.
The alleged early footage and concept art of this game took everything that made Ghostbusters great and face fucked it to death then left it looking like everything else.
They will fuck up this game. I don't trust any design team that attempts to "update" or "re-imagaine" the Ghostbusters cadillac. This game will indeed suck.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Is this a trick question?
I'm excited beyond the capacity for rational thought.
And then i read:

And my dreams shatter in bolivion and so i start to cry.
Does this mean a new Beyond Good and Evil game? *crosses fingers*

Also, as much as I want to be swelling with excitement, I have a bad feeling about this.
