It's probably gonna suck as much as the movie

TwoForce2938d ago

Yeah, that movie trailer left me uncomfortably.

Everything about that movie trailer just seemed so manufactured. I dont have high hopes for the game either

TheCommentator2936d ago

I didn't question why the cast was all female as much as why they all seemed to be girl versions of the original crew. Besides that, their inability to deliver their lines coupled with the predictability of the script left me feeling like I was just covered in ectoplasm. I think the Total Recall reboot will still be better than this movie, which is sad.

Now, with that said, we have a movie-game coming out based off of this? Historically, games based off of movies are bad to begin with. I can only imagine how this game will turn out.

slappy5082936d ago

Yeah I agree with you. I was open to the cast being female, but the humour in the trailer was just lame. Sure original ghost busters did have humour in it, but it also had seriousness and grit, and some scary monsters. The monsters here just look CGI to me without any character. And maybe it's unfair to judge the characters based on a 2 minute trailer but the original cast were believable characters. These characters look so artificial lol. This remake is a perfect example of how to destroy a classic movie. It seems movies today are not the same as they were in the 90s and earlier, everything is about explosions and special effects instead of focusing on charm and character in the script.

Well if you want to experience the last great story in the Ghostbusters lore, then play Ghostbusters: The Video game on PS3/360. That was the true sequel right there.

AT EVERYONE! Hey the GB game is good. But that is because Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd were involved with it.

iceman062936d ago

Agreed. That game was surprisingly good...and the story was a cool extension of what we were familiar with. Unfortunately, this seems like the typical movie tie-in game meant to cash in on whatever hype there might be.

When Activision doesn't hype up a game, you just know its awful.

Don't expect this to be good. Movie games most of the time isn't good especially if it's made by Activision.

Arrow22832937d ago

Actually I am really excited for this movie because I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan. Though, this information seems to have no validity to it. Terminal reality went right out of business after the walk dead game that was a dumpster fire. So there is no way they could be doing it again. Maybe I may have read the article wrong and it was just a guess. I do know for a fact Terminal Reality is done. Which sucks I loved the Ghostbusters game in 09!

New Ghostbusters Game "Definitely Happening" Says Ernie Hudson; Confirms Involvement

It looks like a new Ghostbusters game is on the way, and Ernie Hudson, who played Winston Zeddemore in the franchise, is part of it.

CrimsonWing69853d ago

I hope it’s like the one that felt more like Ghostbusters 3 and not like the twin stick shooter one.

KingofBandits852d ago

Id love a sequel to the last full console game, that isometric one not so much. I would like to see some bigger funding behind this, using UE5.

sourOG852d ago

Yes. I’m kinda glad that the new writers can’t come up with anything original. It paves the way to my favs

MrBobSugar852d ago

Imagine how cool an open-world RPG Ghostbusters game would be.

VTKC852d ago

Yes yes! More like the game made during PS3 xbox360 era where you play as the new recruit getting to try out Egon's new experimental weapons and go along with the original cast for the adventure. And make it fully co operative through the story please. Would be so much fun playing together, actually teaming up with tactics or roles in catching ghosts. Each character could have different abilities.

Friday the 13th: The Game Developer Ilffonic Working on a Ghostbusters Game

Illfonic, the studio behind Friday the 13th: The Game, Predator: Hunting Grounds & more, are working on a new Ghostbusters game!

CrimsonWing69928d ago

Can it not be an asymmetric multiplayer game? Like I’m all for a co-op experience but these guys seem to focus on making stuff like Evolve except they somehow acquire these awesome movie IPs.

jznrpg928d ago

Yeah I don’t care for Evolve formula . I’d love to play a Friday the 13th game like Nintendo had back in the day but I just don’t have the interest in MP 99% of the time .

Nitrowolf2928d ago

Yeah if it’s following the same 4v1 formula no thanks. I think it’s time for Illtonic to ditch that and try something new.

They get big licenses and TBH they do put a lot of great details into the games, but they never are as big as one hopes for them to be. Also usually very buggy

BlackDoomAx928d ago (Edited 928d ago )

I hope it will be. They are good at it.

sourOG928d ago

Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies, I was hyped until I saw the developer. The 4 vs1 model isn’t my jam.

"The latest mainstream Ghostbusters video game was Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which was originally released back in 2009, and developed by Terminal Reality. It was re-released for the PS4, Xbox One in October 2019."

Funny how you forgot to mention is was also ported to the Switch I own the Switch copy. Multiplayer I am not a big multiplayer person campaign co-op I would be down busting ghosts with a friend. I am curious to see how they will pull it off since the passing of Harold Ramis. Will they use the kids from the movie trailer, will they use a future cast like the Extreme Ghostbusters. Will they use the Ghostbusters from the cartoon you throw in the 4 women Ghostbusters and I will pass on the game that was the shittiest Ghostbusters movie ever and a waste of cash.

i am not too hyped with the asymmetric multiplayer part. i hope they just do something like a singleplayer game with co-op on the side.

Please NO! terrible Devs, both games absolutely suck!

Ghostbusters Remastered is the Ghostbusters III We'll Never Get

This Ghostbusters video game, originally released in 2009, is by some distance the most ambitious and best attempt to ever recapture some of that film's magic in another medium. This remaster arrives just over ten years later, and doesn't much touch the original beyond a welcome sprucing-up of the visuals. What it does do is add a shine to an experience that, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see was a one-off.

Wait isn’t a third film being made anyway?

JonTheGod1639d ago

Yes, but that's more of a 'passing of the torch' type film. This game had all actors in their original roles doing a full-on script.
