New Ghostbusters game?

Wow that looks fantastic. I like the chrysler 300C Ghost buster mobile too. I love how its the same characters too.I bet Bill Murrey never thought he would be recreated in high res computer graphics when he made that movie.

My good lord. If this isn't true I will hunt down the man that made it up and kill him.
Surely it would be amazing.
A little while ago a friend of mine told me that he was asked about a ghostbusters game in a survey by codemasters. Could this be it?

Wow. If this is real, and they can snag the likeness rights/voice cast of the original movie, and make it not suck...

Well I'll be a happy man.

Not sure how I feel about the new Ecto-1 though.

It looks like a gritty version of the film universe. The actual actors are represented in the concept art.

Looks like a Source-engine demo... but iam probably wrong.

Gr8 find anyhow, this is why i like Dtoid.

I think I just wet my pants....

dear god *crosses fingers*

Painkiller? I thought that was People Can Fly Still I'm glad you mention it because it due a replay.

A new GB game would be excellent, damn many lost afternoons playing that on my C64. What's everyone hoping for GTA style or more linear FPS/TPS?

That was pretty cool. I'd be nice to see them toss out a ghost trap.

please be a wii game!!!

I've been waiting for something like this ever since that Quake mod was FOXed several years ago.

Jelster:

I stand corrected. Dreamcatcher published Painkiller and they're partnered with Zootfly (who were said to be working on the sequel). I was really excited about proton packs and my facts got jumbled.

Jesus God I hope this is true. I would be beyond thrilled for this.

I would so buy this if it were true.

Oh dear god. You can't kick out the comedy from the franchise. How are they going to put Marshmallow man in that?

Looks pretty sweet. Hopefully it's true, too bad even if it is it'll be at least a year before it'd be done most likely =(

This needs to happen, please please for the love of humanity

As much as I hate Sony, dammit I will buy a PS3 if this is exclusive. I want this game that damn much!

Also, the tricked out Chrystler 300M Ecto-1 tells me that there will be a new movie. Product placement, people.
And the actors are too old? How about this(my friends and I have been talking).....ghosts take over NYC, and the Ghostbusters are back. But they are too old you say? Well, they have some new recruits that they are training. The new generation of Ghostsbusters! Now that has Owen Wilson's name all over it.

A third Ghostbusters movie has been kicked around for quite a while. While I like Bill Murray's recent stuff, I'd love to see him back in full snarky mode.

As well, Ghostbusters was one of those series that actually had quite a few more than decent games licensed to it. They were flawed, to be sure, but there was some thought and care behind it..you could tell that.

The jist of the games was that you had to run their business, driving out, catching ghosts to earn money to both pay for damage you caused and to upgrade your equipment. A timer ticked down, and when the timer ran out, you had to have so much money or it would be game over. Once you got past a few stages, it started a series of other games, that you played (with power-ups you earned through buying them), to get to the top of the power and kill the baddie.

I really enjoyed those games back then. They were flawed, of course. But it was a neat idea.

the parts in the first video of the dude running makes it look like a Gears of War mod or something, hahaha...fucking awesome nonetheless, though

oh my god, oh my god, oh my god

Is it just me or do quite a few of the buildings in those videos look quite similar to the ones shown in this video?

@ Arrested Developer:

I used to play Ghostbusters on the PC Jr too! I thought my family were the only suckers to get one of those instead of a regular IBM PC. :)

as much as i hope its true. running around and blasting stuff with a lazer looks like that gameplay gets boring really quick. If there really is a GB game in the works let hope its not mindless lazer blasting cause thats exactly what that video is.
Seriously, could you imagine investing 10-20 hours shooting ghost with the same lazer, cause thats all there is too, ghostbusting

I want some strategic elements added as well,
4 player co-op
I also want the trap back.

Heck I want alot of things. When it boils down to it, you just shoot ghosts with the SAME WEAPON. how do you add more content without straying from the core material?
