IGNs images for the Ghostbusters video game has, as one might expect, made it’s way online. Some are familiar for those who saw the Game Informer insider exclusives, but there are new ones, from the quick look I had. Pages and pages in fact.
[UPDATE] Worth Playing has posted 30 shots – some look like doubles, but a couple, I’m not so certain.
A nice article, largely taken from NGamer UK, on the Wii version of the Ghostbusters game at Games Radar, has some excellent details on the Wii’s co-op option for the story campaign (something the Wii can retain, as you don’t play as a new Ghostbuster, you play as one of the four OGBs) and some of the multiplayer mini-games. Better yet it has some screenshots – one of which gives a split-screen look at co-op play (and a back of the head look at the stylized Egon and Winston.)
IGN Xbox has posted a sizable four-page preview of the Ghostbusters video game. What new information does it hold? Well, not tonnes, but some.
For starters is the suggestion that Louis Tully is completely out of the question. But Dana Barrett is, leaving the need for a new female lead – one that’s tied directly to the main evil of the story.
Sadly, it’s looking less and less like the game will feature co-op, though the team hasn’t completely discounted it yet. But cheer up – it sounds like the groundwork is being deliberately laid down for a series of games.
We have to sign them for the second game, we have an option, but they were talking to us like they want it to be lots of games and lots of franchises. They’ve already talked about where to take the next one. They’d be in it – at the very least – as the writers for the long haul. Dan’s like a little kid at Christmas when it comes to Ghostbusters because this was his baby… they want to make sure it’s taken care of. We’re just playing in their universe and we know that.”
Overall, the article is a BIG look at all the game technology, so for those who want a sneak-peak under the hood, you should have a look.
Thanks to Daryn for the heads-up.
Just as tasty is IGN’s look at the Wii version of the game – it’s not a long article, but comes with a new screenshot, giving us a sweet look at the game’s visual style.
Cheers to PikeD2zL for that one.
…and shocks, and brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear end.
A secret squirrel sent in an update on the restoration of the Ecto-1 and Ecto-1a, currently underway. As you can see, the Ecto is in paint, and the Ecto-1a will follow shortly. So what’s it all mean? Well, it means, if I understand correctly, that they’ll both be done in January/February – the team working on the cars have picked January/February as their completion target.
And with the Ghostbusters video game announcement, I guess we know why they were getting restored.
Ecto-1, in paint.
Ecto-1a waiting for its turn.
Big thanks to the Hollywood Detective for sending us updates!
Grim Santo sent a note pointing out that for the next six days, people can vote for a Ghostbusters themed t-shirt at Threadless. And if it wins, all we have to do is wait for a $10 sale, and go on a shopping spree. That’s if it wins – in order to vote, you have to sign up, but it’s mostly painless. Thanks Grim.
