A couple of quick notes about the PS3 update for the Ghostbusters video game released last week;
- The graphics, while improved, do not by accounts equal the graphics on the Xbox 360. Well, better than nothing I guess… Thanks to Paul, et al for sending in the various news items, depressing though they are.
- Also, the patch will retain your trophies, your saved games will be lost, apparently. I have not confirmed this (I do not own a PS3). If it is true, this is an unfortunate fact about game patches. The new executable might choke on the old saved game format – ideally, this can be anticipated and a work-around built into code, but sometimes it just happens. On the off chance it happens by accident, maybe back up your saved game to a memory card or something. Again, I can’t swear by this, so it’s possible the updated game will still choke on the backed-up saves, you’ll have to reboot and resign yourself to starting a new saved game – I accept no responsibility in the matter.
Thanks to Dice on that last one.

That is rather strange. I’ve never heard of a game’s patch erasing old game saves. I’ve got the Xbox 360 edition so I hope they work out the bugs before attempting to offer the solution (for the unattainable achievements) to us.
I recently downloaded the patch ((You don’t have a choice really)) and my game was fine. I brought it up and everything was the same. The graphics were somewhat better, but I didn’t have any game issues and my saved game is still their.
Gee whiz! Now how about a patch for the horrid lip-syncing issues with the 360 version? And better yet…issues with multiplayer matches such as ghosts not appearing after a couple waves in survival, some achievements, and unlocking the last couple of “most wanted” ghosts? Or better yet… another game with what they learned? (It’s still fun!)
I just want the gamestop bonus flight suit to display properly in game on my 360! That’s all I ask!!
My gamestop flightsuit is messed up too for the PS3. The annoying thing is that noone will tell me if this is common or if it just happened to a select few. The patch on the sleave is basically the GB1 patch over the GB2 flight suit. Is this how everyones is? For the love of God, tell me!
I have a ps3 and the new patch did not affect my save files.
Save game after patch is AOK here too…
My saves were there after the install, and mills… I also have the GB2 suit and It’s the same as yours which made me mad at first but if you can get close…It looks like they sewed it right over the GB2 patch (good grafx if u ask me) which they went back to in the story so I guess it makes sense.
The GB2 suit was a cool novelty that I turned off about five minutes in. It was cool, but kept taking me out of things when it would cut to a cutscene. Honestly didn’t even notice if I’d lost it or not.
All of my saves were there after patch too, Dice must have been very unlucky!
Ryan – I see your horrid lip-syncing issues on the 360 and raise you NO lip-syncing on the PS2!
I think only *once* did I see Peck move his lips. If he ever leaves his government position, he should start a ventriloquist act
how do i download the patch?
It wiped all my saves on the PS3 which meant I had to start over, I was so close to the end
The sound seems somewhat distorted in the online modes too after the update
my game got deleted when i updated with the patch, all my trophies are ok though
My game waited about a week to erase. So fast Josh thinking here I turned my console off, and back on. SHA-ZAAM all my files were back. 100% intact.
I just got the game yesterday and haven’t played it yet. I guess, download the patch first before playing the story game? That way I got nothing to lose? lol.
Just updated with latest patch and lost my Ghostbusters game save!!! I can see a save file from the PS3 main screen, but from inside the game, there is nothing. It’s not picking it up.
What kinda patch crap is this? And worst, it’s coming after the latest PS3 v3 update which marked most of my games unplayable from flickering!
Heh… I managed to resume my saved game… by setting Display to 480p!
Tsk tsk tsk
