A game site going live isn't normally an incredibly exciting part of a hyped game's belabored crawl to a release date, that is unless it's the site for Ghostbusters: The Game, at which point all bets are off and any new media is like perfectly melon-balled spheres of mana from heaven, fed to you by two shaven love-slaves whilst reclining on a dais carved from pure gold. Don't believe me? Just ask Colette; the woman literally urinated all over the new carpet in my office (utility closet) here at HQ when I showed her the site.
And did I stop her? Hell no I didn't, I was too busy coating my laptop in a fine film of drool, hypnotized by the words "Don't Cross The Streams" and my own man-childish glee, to take note of the near-constant micturitions of Ms. Bennett.
The site is simply a reconfirmation of what's already been made abundantly clear: the game will be on the 360, PS3, PS2, PC, Wii and DS; it will feature voice acting from the original crew; and it is being written by the original writers of the first two films. Add some fancy (to a luddite such as myself) flash effects, a sign-up page for news, a couple of screenshots, and bam, website. But I'll be damned if I don't feel like I've been delivered something awesome, soaked carpet or no.
Enjoy the quiet while it's here, my friends; with the launch of the site and September being (relatively) soon, it's obvious that the great Ghostbusters hype-machine has ceased its infrequent growth (and subsequent news) spasms.
[Thanks, Jonathan!]

who you gonna call?!?
Please don't suck. :(
I can't believe they got Bill Murray to come back. This is going to be great.
Please don't fuck this up... Are you listening Gods of Intellectual Property?
HOLY CATS. Words can not convey the excitement I contain for this game.
You think they might have character models based on the cartoon as unlockables? I just want to sport Egon's cartoon pompadour(sp?).
Slimer needs a fucking workout.
to be on par, please don't fucking suck. and NO! DO NOT REMIX THE FUCKING THEME SONG!
For the record, Ghostbuster press parties held at super elite speakeasies in San Francisco are the new hotness. Need I say more to demonstrate how many exquisite cucumber gimlets I imbibed?
Yay ghostbusters
Why not call James Rolfe for a comment?
Who you gonna call?
Tiff, I hate you.
Okay, no, I love you. But really, I hate you.
This might be the game that convinces me to buy a 360. And man, that is saying a lot. I love the movies so much!
This calls for some Ectocooler.
The ghost busters games on 8-bit machines was the worst thing ever i Think this video shows how bad it is well.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/17324.html
or any video of any ghostbuster game
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/17965.html
Does anybody who bought one of these 8-bit ghost buster games (like I did for $20 in a discount bin around 1990 when I could have got something good for my NES)
Really want to even bother buying this? I am not I am going to rent it The 8-bit ghostbusters games was liek some of the worst times I ever had with games. IT sill hurts all these years later I don't care how cool the movies is all it took
was 1 nes game.
I will try it but only if it's free I am not wasting more money on anything with the name ghostbusters or Video game in the same sentance.
lol @ Cube
@ Cube
You're right man. They were BAAAD. I think the sega one was pretty good if memory serves me. I can't remember if it was master system or genesis, but I recall one of their versions being more fun.
The "good one" was the 16-bit sega genesis with the big heads.
So that means it got a 6.5 out of 10 I did not pay for It and only tried it for free because somebody else wasted cash on it and let me use it.
I would never spent money on it though I bought :Streets of rage 2" I learned my lesson about trying games Like that first.
Your article tag confuses me:
"Also, necrosis"
Also, Necros is what? Awesome?
Cube is the winrar of the day.
I'll always remember being a little kid and thinking that my commodore 64 saying "he slimed me" in a distorted voice was the pinnacle of modern technology.
I played the NES Ghostbusters....it was really fucking hard...REALLY hard...once you get to the end of the game where you have to fight ZUUL you have to actaully fucking walk up the stairs by pressing the A button!!! to the 20th floor or whatever...and the whole time ghosts are flying around and "slimming" your guys, Oh god I don't I ever made it past like the 10th floor most of the time.
Hey bleep.
Hotlinking is not allowed.
No, Tiff, as long as you don't piss on anybody's carpet. Who you gonna call, motherfuckers?
It's cool that Slimer is as creepy as he is in the films, but I'm still not that excited by this game. Forgive me, the 80s. :/
That rug really tied the room together...
DO WANT to be good.
But after that Transformers game fiasco . . . I can't feel hype for movie tie in gams anymore, even old movie tie ins . . .
Not until that Heat game comes out . . .
Oh please, please, please let there be multiplayer.
I know there's no way they'd let you customize your own Ghostbuster character, but that would be sweet, too.
But really I just want to cross streams with my friends.
... ah, there's no way to fix that sentence.
That caption with Slimer fits perfectly. 4 player Co-Op is must for this one. Am I right?
LOL @ Pixel Blue
Tiff, I salute you for the reference to The Big Lebowski, but I share Sharpless’ envy of your super elite speakeasy-going. Man, I hope this game is good...I’m actually really impressed that they got all the original guys to come back.
micturition is the word of the day. What a fantastic noun
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are writing the "script" for the game right? Come on people, that's all we need to know! This WILL be a good game!
Seriously, "micturition" rules. Someone's been hitting the thesaurus lately.
Best drink ever.
"ust ask Colette; the woman literally urinated all over the new carpet in my office"
Don't cross the streams.
Imagine crossing the streams on Wii.
Prepare to drool.
Never cross the streams with another man because that's known as a gay swirl.
Must
Not
Suck.
Seriously. If Sierra fucks this up I will write down the names of the lead developers and never buy a game they're attached to ever again.
Voice acting from the original crew is awesome.
Yeah, I think the Wii version will probably be the awesome. I personally woulda liked to see a new movie than a game but I know it wouldn't get a big of a budget as this will.
All the original guys is great. As previous commentors have said please don't let this suck. They have said they won't do another movie so this is as close as we are going to get.
Oh man I can't wait to hear Bill Murry as Venkman again.
LEBOWSKI REFERENCE.
*perks up*
@Samit
I don't think it was so much that they "got the original guys to come back" as Dan Aykroyd wanted to make another movie and was unsuccessful for a number of reasons (licensing, certain actors not wanting to do a live action film, etc.). As a result, the script is being used for this game. At least, that's the story I vaguely remember hearing.
Please don't suck.
And to post a link that actually hasn't already been posted in this thread, here's The Real Ghostbusters for the Game Boy. I owned this game. It sucked hard.
NES ghostbusters is hard because the game was broken and did not work.
