Holy crap finally! I'm really surprised Paramount hasn't been all over the Ghostbusters liscense, since so many people still love the movies/cartoons/comics.
So dumb Ghostbusters question. Why the hell didn't they keep shooting Stay Puft? I mean, they get pissed that he is wrecking up the place ("Nobody steps on a church in my town!"), they start to kick his ass, then they just stop?! I mean, dude was about to fall over, then they just could have burned him up no sweat.
Of course then they wouldn't have been able to cross the streams and all. Gotta love Total Plutonic Reversal.
I always assumed that all their attack did was piss him off and engulf him in flames which he preceded to shoot back at them. I'm sure destroying the portal was the only way to get rid of him for good.
I'm going to go ahead and add 'RE4 over the shoulder camera' to the list of basics.
It's not that I'm inherently against driving sections but they're just never good or control well. I remember playing GTA: San Andreas and being dismayed at how bad the driving was.
I'd much rather have a story driven third person action game, with highly detailed levels at the site of ghost breakouts, than a large but bland city to drive around in with randomly generated (ie; shit) missions cluttered around a central plot.

I'm fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?

I think by "bad" he means "incredibly intuitive" and "second nature."

I want so desperately for the Wii version of Ghostbusters to control similarly to RE4 Wii Edition. Walk around normally and press A or B to pull the proton gun off your back. It's so perfect!

Each of them has a special ability.
Down on the control bad for Peter, for example, is "witty remark".

I assume (and hope) that the game will be following Aykroyd's long-desired plan of the Ghostbusters getting stranded in a twisted alternative version of Manhattan located in Hell.
That's the third film he's been wanting to do for literally years...

Last I heard was that Hellbent (Which is what you're refering to) would be made as a CG movie, assuming the video game did well.
I'm going to guess they are saving the Hellbent idea. Plus, the original script called for four new Ghostbusters, with the original four in the background. And, from reviews I've read of the script, the four new Ghostbusters weren't very compelling. Now, if they did away with the "New Generation" aspect. . .then yes, I think the Hellbent idea would make an awesome game.
That poor bastard got typecast so bad after that movie. I haven't seen him in anything where he wasn't cast as "Incredibly annoying government dick".
To be fair, the fact that his characters are hated so much in the majority of his roles speaks volumes about his considerable acting talent. He is able to elicit emotion from the viewers in ways few other actors are capable of.
There's a hilarious story on, the commentary I think, where he was walking down the street one day and an entire busload of kids drove buy and yelled out the window "HEY DICKLESS!"
The one thing from my childhood that hasn't been completely whored out by Hot Topic. Yes. I'm glad the original cast has all signed on to do voice acting. I know it isn't much but it gives me hope that if they take it seriously enough to commit then perhaps the developer will too and give us a solid game.
Anyway, time to dust off my proton pack and traps (oh yes, I have traps).
Dr. Raymond Stantz: I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something that I loved from my childhood. Something that would never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay-Puft.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Nice thinking, Ray.
Dr. Raymond Stantz: We use to roast some Stay-Puft Marshmallows, by the fire at Camp Waconda.
Dr. Peter Venkman [looks at Egon]: Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.
You could pretty much have that in a free roaming city where you get randomly generated calls, and I would not be able to wear pants without destroying them. Maybe throw in the Stay Puft as some kind of boss that you can fight.
Lime'd and fix'ed.

I heard he did the new team thing because of the fact that Murray refused to do a third film for the longest time, but over the summer Aykroyd made some remarks that Murray signed back on since the film moved over into a "CG project" and all he'd have to do is voice work and none of the physical stuff.
Me and another guy over on a different board debated whether "CG project" meant it was going to be an animated movie or a video game. I guess this could mean Hellbent is a game.

The television edit for that part of the film is pretty good, too.
"It's true your honor. The man is some kind of rodent."
I don't understand this at all. Like, how does this make sense? The sequel to 2 popular movies is... a videogame? That's like Pizza Hut announcing their new pepperoni pizza is... a roast beef sandwich.
Like, this isn't actually a sequel, right? It's just a video game that takes place after the movies?
Ghostbusters the game really highlights where games go wrong in winning our hearts and endeering characters to us.
Your, almost, always supposed to be an elite ninja headshotting and throat slitting all who oppose you.... your , almost, never rewarded for hilarious fuck-ups or heartwarming foolishness.
If ghostbusters the movie was a video game today ... in the library when you encounter the ghost woman you would run back to the start, run back a little more, hit the walll which would crumble revealing a proton pack and a large turkey dinner. You would take the proton pack, eat the turkey for super health, sneak up on her, take aim on a head shot and ace her in one shot. :zzz:
We need options or chances in games to do dumb shit: "GET HER!" / "Are.You.A.God?" / etc / etc that are frequent enough not to feel too scripted that also rewards you for playing a more "human" or lovable character rather than punish you with death...
Not totaly sure how any of that could be made possible.. but we need less ninja-demon-assain-elf-cyborgs and more heroes that are more human or mundane and prone to error, which is basicly what the Ghostbusters where and we loved them for it.
A couple weeks ago I was bitching to my friends there needs to be a GTA-style Ghostbusters. Mission-based with Ecto-1 driving and shit. No idea what type this is going to be--but I don't care! Must have.
Vivendi, Sony call 'Ghostbusters'
Duo pact on videogame franchise
By BEN FRITZ
'Ghostbusters'
Publisher is particularly optimistic for the chances of "Ghostbusters" because, unlike the young male-targeted "Scarface," it has the potential to appeal to children and adults. Developer Terminal Reality is making a "Ghostbusters" game for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 aimed primarily at the core gamer demographic, while Red Fly Studios is making a version for Playstation 2, Wii and DS designed more for families and casual gamers.
The only way I could be angrier is if Vivendi killed my puppy, and only by a little bit.

On PC, PS3 and 360, if you cross the streams the Ghostbusters die a gruesome and horrible death,being sucked into and alternate dimension body part by body part.
On Wii/PS2 you can't cross the streams cause an invisible barrier is around them, stopping them from ever crossing. Also, you get helpful tips like "JUMP ON THE PUFF'S BACK! JUMP ON THE PUFF'S BACK!"
It sounds good but I'm wary of non-game franchise games.
I get the feeling they will forget important basics and fill it with shit like terrible driving sections and poor controls.
Important things to include:
-Busting ghosts
-4 player co-op
-Origonal theme music
-The origonal siren noise for the Ecto1
You could pretty much have that in a free roaming city where you get randomly generated calls, and I would be a happy gamer. Maybe throw in the Stay Puft as some kind of boss that you can fight.
That's pretty much exactly what I don't want to see.
I don't think there's much I hate more than 'free roaming through a city and picking up quests/jobs'. Directed games please, with focus.
I agree that I want some good story driven awesomeness. I'm just saying I'd still take a free-roaming city as well. Think the game Mafia. Free roaming plus actual awesome quests/story? Yes please!
During the rectfication of the Voldrani, the Traveler came as a large and moving Tor. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Machetrik Supplicants, they chose a new form for him -- that of a Giant Slor! Many Schubs and Zools knew what it was like to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day I tell you.
And Parcheesi.

ZOMG a casual game on a system Nintendo themselves publicly state is meant to appeal to casual gamers.
You have every right to totaly pissed! who could have seen that comming?
Quite frankly i think it is a great move outsourceing the "lesser" versions ... I don't want a possibly amazing game to have shitty graphics and sound and less diverse and smaller enviroments just so they don't have to create new resources for porting purposes.
Sup with all the Ghostbusters II hate in this thread. It wasn't as absurdly stellar as the original, but that's like saying a tasty Kitkat bar isn't as good as, like, Olympian Ambrosia. They were both really good and fun, and hell, I thought Vigo managed to be a somewhat more effective villain than Gozer was.
!! Vigo the Dorien Grey wannabe was a more effective villain than the Mother of all Pussbuckets, Gozer the (freaking) Gozerian? To say nothing of There Is No Dana Only Zuul?
Besides, the whole statue of liberty scene made no sense. I don't think the statue even HAS usable legs under the toga. It's a statue. Er, I suppose I shouldn't over-think this stuff.

Actually, so long as he doesn't look old and can phone it in, he seems to be willing to do anything. (See: this.. Garfield...)

Or when it is too expensive to make into a film, or you think special effects won't do it justice.
