So glad to know that Bill Murry will have a part in this game.

Ghostbusters is one of my favourite movies of all time! I'm really looking forward to playing this next year!

This is the game they will compare 1.0 scores to just to make them look better.

I cant wait

My non video game playing friends nearly creamed their pants when they heard this news. This is a top priority game for me. Nothing short of epic.

Bustin' makes me feel good!

No really, can't wait.

I played the Ghostbusters game on the Atari 2600 back in the 80's. All you did was run from one location to another and trap the same ghost over and over. There was no art direction to speak of, not even fun colors. The game was probably made in less than five days. Back then I'd play anything.

mmm....

If they do this right it will be awsome. Ghostbusters 2 was Ok. Ghostbusters was TERRIFIC!

wicked, where can I order one of those backpacks?

Ghostbusters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now all we need is a new revamped and reimagined Gremlins!

@ginnaaah Yes you are correct, it was Rick moranas as the Fifth Ghost-Buster!!! And what do we have for the Trivia winner Johnny....... a big fat-slopy kiss...NIce job. You know your Ghostbuster movies ;-)

FRIGG'N SHWEET!!! YES!!! AWWW YES!!! (drool)

Hey thats not bad bringing ghostbusters on theses consoles!

screenshots here @ http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117976019.html?categoryid=1009&cs=1

can anyone tell im at work and have absolutely nothing to do?!?!? lol

William Atherton, famous for his role as Walter Peck will be involved

ernie is onboard too.... woot!

also heard the woman who played janine melnitz has signed up, lending her voice and likeness....sweet

It's the return of my childwood..

Well, the Genesis GB game was pretty good (though the later levels were a bit too maze-like) so I hope this one will be good. Plus, get Ernie Hudson involved! It seems none of the GB games have Winston in them.

wasnt it rick moranis?? as louis tully?

i can see it now, fps, online co-op with 3 other people, timed mode with teams of 4 all going at once, person who busts the most ghosts in the time limit the winner, driving sections, new york city as your domain...... this has the chance to be an all time great game...... i so want this to pay off! grew up on this and turtles and they made a complete hash of the 2nd one lol

Dam no GB3 movie but instead their is a game being made without a actor who was a Ghostbuter......Yup Racism....Oh well that sucks...any well I hope the game is good. And a little trivia for anyone from the 80's besides "Windsten", who is the fifth Ghost Buster....Answer will be posted later!!!!?????!!!???!!??

Awesome! But where the heck is Ernie Hudson?! Why do they keep ignoring him?! ...curse you, racism! curse you!

Sweet.

Just having the original cast onboard makes me feel good about it. Hopefully, the script will lend more to the first movie than the second. The key is for Ramos to reign in Aykroyd a little. Regardless, I was skeptical when I saw the demo from earlier this year. Hopefully a first rate developer will step up and give us something to be excited about.

Hopefully it will be a fpb (first person buster.. 'bustin makes me feel good!') where you catch the ghost in the capture beam and lead it into the trap (which could have timer). Then, maybe a mad drive back to headquarters to deposit the ghost in the containment unit. With wii controls, the drop-off could work like interfacing with machinery in Metroid Prime 3.

funny think in school today i was thinking the movies would be prety cool games then bam i see this today wtf but still should be cool with the top notch voice actors doing there own characters and an all new story lets just hope this wont suck

SWEET! Bill Murray in a video game is awesome.

Cant they make a new movie instead. I AINT FRAID NO GHOST. itll be a fun rental im betting.

thundercats next? that would be sweet.

OMFG!!!!! I played this for AGES on my Commodore 64 - and boy - I still have my 64 and this game! Bet alot of 'oldsters' can remember the packaging and fold out instruction sheet and everything!

This in a 3D New York multiple random mission generated open world non linear game could be the best thing since Bethesda thought up The Elder Scrolls and Valve got together for the original Half Life!

Should we expect any more 20 year old plus games to be produced soon? lol

Cult classic? Ghostbusters was freakin' huge in the 80s. HUGE. Like, as popular as Star Wars, Back to the Future, Indiana... it was as big as all those movies. Then there were the cartoons, the video game tie-ins, the music. Look up the definition of cult classic, please.

And who said Bill Murray isn't funny anymore? Life Aquatic? Lost in Translation? Get a grip.

this is the best news of the day! XD though i hope zootfly is involved because their demo video was really impressive.

YES!!!! Please please please don't change it from that awesome Gears of War style gameplay that we've all seen on YouTube. Looked absolutely awesome!

absolutely awesome news i hope they get all the key elements in there like the comedy and music etc
an over the shoulder view like in that demo will be perfect and i think it could be a superb 4 player co-op but - dont cross the streams!!

A lot of this is going to depend on who is developing it. Also, writing a game is a lot different than writing a video game. I hope the guys consult some of the people in the industry.

What's next the sequel to Scarface game? Wait, too late.

I ain't afraid of no ghost!

This game is going to be sweet. I can't wait. If they have some kind of cool ghost catching mechanic like in Luigi's Mansion it should be a lot of fun. Add a great script and the original actors and you've got a classic!

Why are they just now making Ghostbusters?
What motivated them to make it now?

Words cannot express how awesome this is.

Since Ghostbusters as a film would take too long and probably not be as good, this is pretty good news. A game that takes 8 - 10 hours (or hopefully, more) to complete should be able to tell a pretty good story in line with the films. I hope it doesn't lean too heavily on sand-box style play, as I do see pointless driving portions as a drawback. What I wan't is a good script set in the Ghostbusters' universe, while telling a pretty darn good ghost story in its own right. Remember all of the unique ghosts featured in short clips in the two films--those couold be regular enemies, plus some new ones. Give them some decent AI too--I don't want to just run up and taze every enemy into submission. Bosses should range on a pretty good scale. Viggo, Zool, those two dog creatures, and yes, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man should be unlockable boss challenges--although not part of the main game, since this is supposed to be a true sequel.

That is awsome that Ramis Aykroyd and Murray have all signed on. It wouldn't be the same without the trio of dorks duking it out with the supernatural. I am pretty sure that this will be a bargain bin game, but I can always hope that they do something fun and unexpected with it.
