New info and images of Ghostbusters: The Video Game

EDIT: There was a typo when we originally posted this. The game actually takes place in 1991, not 2001.IGN has posted a new article with new information on the upcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Some new info we pulled from the article:

  • You play as a new recruit to the Ghostbusters unit.
  • The game takes place in 1991, two years after the events of Ghostbusters 2.
  • A Gozarin Exhibit is due to open a few days after you start the game. It will probably lead to some events during the game.
  • Dana Barrett (played by Sigourney Weaver in the movies) won’t be in the game.
  • An all-new female lead is being introduced and will make a big impact on the game’s storyline.
  • Some of the ghosts that will be returning are: Gozer, Slimer, Stay Puft, the Gray Lady Librarian, and the executed brothers.
  • Your fellow Ghostbusters will help out with captures of ghosts.
  • You’ll get a ‘damage done’ total at the end of every mission.
  • It will run at 1080p.
  • We will be adding the new images to our Ghostbusters Section soon.

    In the News – #2

    • Ghostbusters: The Video Game has been announced. Our original source was TeamXbox.com, which is where we first saw the article. The game will be released on the Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in Quarter 4 2008. We will be switching to Gamespot.com as our main source since they seem to have gotten a head start over IGN.com. (IGN hasn’t even registered the game into their database yet.)
    • The soundtrack to Mass Effect will be released from Sumthing Else Music Works on November 20th, 2007 in conjunction with the video game. The CD features over an hour of original music featured in the game. The soundtrack contains music composed by by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick with additional music by Richard Jacques and David Kates.
    • In a recent post on PlanetCallofDuty.com, Call of Duty 4 seems to be catching up to Halo 3 for the top spot of Xbox 360 games.

    Just to let you know, we have added GhostBusters: The Video Game to our list of video games that we cover. An “induction ceremony” is coming soon.
