With such a rush it won't look too good. As for GB III... I think they'd better pass this one. I am in the middle of the making of the movie in SA, as it doesn't take place in NY, this is not the original team, though I search for LC map. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YWx44JRZ64g Well, I dunno about the graphics.

These may just be something to whet your appetite. Get people excited by showing them something they know. I'd love to see the characters return if they do it intelligently in the story, but I'd rather have a new story all together. Plus, like I said, the game is still a year away. If the battles against the old foes are in the game, they probably aren't too deep into the story or else they wouldn't have shown them. When were the first screen shots of a game shown the final boss (in reference to Stay Puft of course) anyway?

If that were the case that would be f'in sweet....a totally brand new story line for the game while being able to confront Vigo and Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man within the game itself. I hope that's what Vivendi is doing!

Remember I said that on the Nov. 14 episode of X-Play (airs at 8 PM on the G4 channel) they mentioned a GB game, but didn't have the news that we have now? Well, even though X-Play didn't have the news, G4 surely did. They <a HREF="http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/680850/Ghostbusters_Game_Coming.html" rel="nofollow">posted an article</A> about it in their "The Feed" blog on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 at 2:31 PM. Too bad no one at the station noticed that the content in the X-Play episode was now a tad non-current, and updated it at the last minute before airtime.

I really hope we start seeing those DVDs by the end of 2008 to tie-in with the release of the game. If no DVDs appear, then Sony will really prove themselves to be stupid.

Adam & Morgan mention Zootfly working on one, but not having the rights. Then they reminisce about the original Activision game from 1984, which they praise. They each say a quote from the movie afterwards before the next review begins. They make no mention of this news, though I have no clue when they actually filmed the episode, so it could have been a week or two ago. The Wii version will be great due to the motion controls (it'll actually feel like you're wielding a real proton gun). Of course, I don't have a Wii (or a PS3, XBox 360, or DS). I'll definitely get the PS2 version, and the PC version (if it's different then the PS2 version - though maybe I'd get it if it's the same anyway) if it will run under Windows 2000 (will probably have to upgrade to XP most likely). Based upon what Dan Aykroyd said back in February, this might be based on his Hellbent script. So, although we'll never see that become a Ghostbusters 3 movie, this is most definitely the next best thing. In fact, it may actually be better than a movie because (1) it's featuring all of the original cast, (2) they can look like their 1984 selves thanks to it being computer graphics (and I pretty Janine doesn't look like that slutty clown impostor from GB2), and (3) the "viewer" can actually be a part of the story by <I>playing</I> it (a true interactive movie). I do find Mark Caplan's (VP of Sony's consumer products division) quote in the Variety article to be a pretty big slip in the face: "This brand is a very important asset for the studio, and we feel it's prime time for it to be rediscovered through videogames." If the Ghostbusters brand was such a very important asset, then why not put out the damn Real Ghostbusters & Extreme Ghostbusters season DVDs?!?
