Associate producer from Sierra, Ryan French stopped by the G4 E3 studio to show off the game – lots of great stuff! And more to come!
-Big point, you don’t earn points in the game, you earn money, which you can use to pay for your new equipment upgrades, but doing damage to the environment can cost you and the city. You can see the money coming in and going out in the footage.
- HA! And Ryan makes a point of calling it “equipment” not “weapons”! YAY!
- Comic Con will feature more, exciting news about multiplayer, but Ryan does confirm different multiplayer games for each SKU.
[UPDATE]
Anthony has a bigger, slightly longer, clip of the segment (complete with the Ghostbusters segue beforehand) that you can see here. You can also find a link to the high rez version of the clip as well. Thanks Anthony!

Para-goggles? Hm.
looks like the big comiccon announcement may be about multiplayer for the game…well i gotta have a shower.
Hearing Morgan Webb say Ghostbusters like 100 times made my week.
The “Equipment” moment was rather nice to hear. I applaud these guys, seriously.
Any other developer would push the weapons/combat angle, whereas the term “Scientist” was used… classy.
That… was… awesome! I love all this new video this week! First the tech demo’s and now this! It is looking so fantastic. They have done a wonderful job on the game. I was straining my ears to hear the cast dialogue underneath the host chatter and I got a chill hearing them all again! Woo-hoo! I love this game!
Wow. Just Wow. I can’t wait to get my hands on this. Here’s to the demo coming out in mass not too long after comic-con.
YEAH! (but damn it looks like a hard game… heh)
It wont be a hard game, but I heard a scary word in there… ‘Puzzle’. I really hope the gameplay won’t feature a lot of really obscure one-way-to-solve puzzles that some game designers still find appropriate to jam into a perfectly good action game.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s gonna be great, but I don’t wanna spend 25 minutes in a dark place trying to find a ecto-switch… And most of all, I don’t want to be irritated by a looping Walkie-Talkie dialogue while I’m trying to push said switch.
But still… Can’t wait
can’t wait.. i’m going to have to get myself either a ps3 or xbox 360 for the cool stuff..
can’t wait.. going to totally get my hands on it..

can’t wait.. going to totally get my hands on it.. might own more than one copy but its worth it.. its ghostbusters…..
Absolutely gorgeous! Those guys at TR have done a fantastic job. They have thought this one through and took their talent one step farther. They’ve thought this one through with care. Understanding that it’s not ALL about straight combat…calling it equpiment NOT weapons show their dedication and that they have the correct mind-set, on the right track.
Their hard work has paide off. Very nice job…TR.
Can’t wait till this fall!
I hear final dubbed audio in the game play (listen carefully and you can hear Ernie Hudson yelling at the recruit for hitting him with the proton stream)… and it makes me happy.
[replaced with the PC link to the videos - sorry Troy. I played by the PR rules and waited until midnight. - ed. :p ]
Also makes me happy.
And what’s this new tag that I’m seeing with Vivendi Games Mobile added to the platforms? Another new port it sounds like?
[...] yes, for those of you that caught the G4 demo exclusive – Sierra Associate Producer Ryan French wasn’t kidding… he actually is the model for [...]
The wife dreads E3 especially now that we have a Next Gen console.
Luckily she is pretty excited about the GB game as well.
Don’t forget Chris…..once we both have our hands on copies of the game…I want you back on the show with me.
We can drool together!
Ya kno i was very surprised..I emailed Hank Braxtan..ya kno “Return of the Ghostbusters” Hank Braxtan..and to my shock he had said to me that he thought that aside form voice acting the game is gonna be mediocre..i kno we all have bad memories from the NES version but come one how could you look at footage like this and think..”This is gonna be mediocre”
Would be cool if there’s a feature where you can “watch” the game from start to end with the computer playing for you – Like a real movie.
That guy Ryan has no ideal what a lucky bastard he is. He is the model 4 the new recruit. He acts like he doesn’t appreciate that shit. Lucky fuck. I wish the developers would through his model out and let players create a Ghostbuster.
I agree with MightyJoe Dirt i wish they consider to include some “create your own character” mode or something cause tha’ll make the GB experience even more fun, a lot of PS2 games do that this days i dont see why a PS3 plataform based game don’t.
Cheers. :0)
I don’t particularly like that Ryan was calling it Para-Goggles in the G4 video. Hopefully he got his info wrong and that’s NOT going to be the name in the game. Also, in one of the new screen shots, what with the new guy’s name tag reading “recruit”? It’ll be really dumb if he doesn’t have a REAL name, especially since this game is supposed to be canon.
I meant “Rookie” not “Recruit”.
