Are there not 4 guys?? or is it one of them is of color and advertisers don't want to acknowledge Ernie Hudson in any media,gaming promotion??

out of curiosity i'm asking.

BozoLoco2844d ago

Yeah, that's mentioned in the article. One of the games (I think Real Ghostbusters on Genesis) didn't have Winston at all.

SteamPowered2844d ago

Winston didnt get a whole lot of love in the movies either though. When I watched the movies as an adult, I always felt like he was an afterthought ( I also forgot about the Ghost going down on Ray). He has Zero backstory, just answered the ad in the paper.
He doesnt have much to do with the 2009 Ghostbusters game at all really. I hear 3X more lines from Ray and Venkman.

BozoLoco2844d ago

Disagree. In the second one, maybe, where he had a few scenes just make him feel like "part of the group", but he has important lines and scenes in the first film.

When he and Ray are in the car talking about the "end of days" - that's a pretty powerful scene. Very eerie.

Also the time at the Mayor's office, he delivers one of the best lines in Ghostbusters history.

"I've seen shit that'll turn you white!" It's hilarious. The face on the Mayor's helpers when he says that...cracks me up every time.

I think he really compliments the other three well in the first film. They were all sucky, boring characters in the second, it wasn't just him, but the script was more desperate to make him seem relevant.

But Ernie Hudson's delivery and character's presence in the first film I felt were spot on. It was a nice balancing act, because he was really the only level-headed guy on the team, whereas the other three were really just quacks.

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

KingofBandits858d 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.

sourOG858d ago

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

MrBobSugar858d ago

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

VTKC858d 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.

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.

jznrpg934d 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 .

Nitrowolf2934d 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

BlackDoomAx934d ago (Edited 934d ago )

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

sourOG934d 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.

Hawk198666934d ago

Please NO! terrible Devs, both games absolutely suck!
