  • kickcows, on 11/17/2007, -1/+41what about winston?? :( he never gets any love.
    • seinman, on 11/17/2007, -0/+12Ernie Hudson is supposedly on board, too.
      • Fortyseven, on 11/18/2007, -0/+3There's a video (on YouTube, someplace) where he talks about how he already did some audio work for it.
      • bCabulon, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Sweet, I was worried when I read the headline.
    • JettaMan, on 11/18/2007, -0/+8He's just some guy who applied for a job after they started it up. Sort of like Ringo.
    • lcarsdeveloper, on 11/18/2007, -0/+5Official site says "Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson"
  • wilf_brim, on 11/17/2007, -10/+8Let's face it. As much as we desperately want this to be good, it will be an abomination. Why can't they just leave these properties alone rather than crush my memories of the movies.
    • EvaMonkey01, on 11/17/2007, -0/+3Have some quiet optimism my friend, lets give them a chance.
      At least it's the original cast with Dan Akroyd writing... it could be pretty sweet.

      Let's not moan about it until we have more info about it.
    • Br0wn, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1True but I would rather have this hit the systems and get a fanbase from the younger generation who probably never seen the movie or cartoon and keep these characters going. I have some friends who don't give any old movies a chance and won't watch it if it is not starring their favorite rapper. Look at Transformers and TMNT, younger kids may not even know who they were without the remake or video game.
    • NikoKun, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1You don't know that it will be bad... yet... Just hope for the best... It might turn out to be as much of a gem, as the first movie was... Or it just might suck... who knows... lol
  • DDION, on 11/17/2007, -0/+8If this is as close as we get to a 3rd movie then bring it on!

    (And please get the trap right!)
  • evilray, on 11/17/2007, -0/+8Can't wait to bust some ghosts with my Wiimote. Sounds like fun :)
    • Reiben, on 11/18/2007, -1/+0That's too bad, because if you had RTFA, It clearly states that it's not coming out for the Wii. I too own a Wii but looks like we are out of luck.
      • GreyICE, on 11/27/2007, -0/+1That's odd. It says it will be compatable with Microsoft, Sony, and NINTENDO consoles.

        I suppose they might mean the Gamecube, but... why?
    • Reiben, on 11/18/2007, -1/+0Wonderful Double post....
    • joegibes, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Just don't cross the streams...
  • Soytaco, on 11/17/2007, -2/+3Should be a HL2 mod imo
  • pdxa4, on 11/17/2007, -0/+3This is the best news I have seen all day!
  • VaporBro, on 11/17/2007, -0/+7Game written by Ackroyd? Innnnnteresting...
  • thebillgonadz, on 11/17/2007, -0/+10This just made me want to bust out my old Proton Pack toy.
    • EvaMonkey01, on 11/17/2007, -0/+7...I'm so jealous of you right now.
      • rockocamel, on 11/17/2007, -0/+2no the best toy was the big tower that you could park the car in and poor goo all over it!! And the ghostbusters used to go down a big pole!! Man i wanna be 6 again!!
        • venom8599, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1My mom took the slime that came with it away after about thirty seconds... She knew all too well the mess that would make...
        • thebillgonadz, on 11/27/2007, -0/+1What a horrible, horrible childhood you had.
    • bonds, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1What are you supposed to be? Some kinda cosmonaut?
  • mpn401, on 11/17/2007, -0/+3"...a hybrid of both video gaming and the film industry."

    Because it totally kicked ass back in the early to mid 90s. Sega CD FTW.
    • davesecx, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1I loved my SegaCD. Doublt Switch was a damn fun game.
  • DrZocktahedron, on 11/17/2007, -2/+3This is old as hell
    There were several articles about this already.
  • brese1200, on 11/17/2007, -0/+12"WHAT DID YOU DO RAY??!!"

    "I couldn't help it..."

    "Its the Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man."
    • Eeqmcsq, on 11/18/2007, -0/+6"I think we better split up."
      "Good idea."
      "Yeah, we can do more damage that way."
  • cappslite, on 11/17/2007, -0/+6Game Footage - http://youtube.com/watch?v=xtS5m8DOsTw
  • Eslamicolt3, on 11/17/2007, -0/+6I thought Bill Murray vowed to never again work with Harold Ramis after Groundhog Day
  • TripcodeMel, on 11/17/2007, -0/+2Don't you mean 'quartet'?
  • ussoldier, on 11/17/2007, -6/+1When your teeth fall down... the toilet bowl... who you gonna call... Geriatric Busters! When there's something sticky... in your underwear... and it don't look good... who ya gonna call... Geriatric Busters... !
  • anarchytv, on 11/17/2007, -3/+1Don't F with the supernatural! Or as the ghoststation gas(p) said "don't taze me ectoplasm, bro!"

  • Fawkes, on 11/18/2007, -0/+2They could have at least spelled Dan Aykroyd's name correctly... amateurs.
  • bonds, on 11/18/2007, -0/+6Peter Griffin in refrigerator: "There is no Peter, only Zool."
  • petebert, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1wasnt there a recent digg article on how Bill Murray would not get in on an actual Ghostbusters 3 movie? memory is telling me a cracked top 10 movies that didnt happen?

    Oh, and I am the key master
  • snoutspout, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1well... i guess we all know alot license based games.... hopefully this one does better
    • fuzzynyanko, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Yuck. Sierra hasn't been making very good games lately. Let's hope they get this one right and get it up to at least the Lord of the Rings level.
  • GradeFPoultry, on 11/18/2007, -0/+0I sense certain disaster.
  • Philbert, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1My friend and past classmate at Terminal Reality worked on this. He seems very excited about it.
  • Murrabbit, on 11/18/2007, -0/+3"Trio"? But there were 4 of them!
  • Holocaust, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Ghostbusters FTW!
  • CMBlue, on 11/18/2007, -0/+3Winston always gets screwed. Do game designers have something against Ernie Hudson or something?
  • bankrobbery, on 11/18/2007, -1/+1Dan Aykroyd doesn't care about black people :(
  • creativeamp68, on 11/18/2007, -0/+2Where's Winston Zeddmore and Janine Melnitz???
    • DDION, on 11/18/2007, -0/+3More importantly....WHERE THE HELL IS DANA!
  • yuutomo, on 11/18/2007, -0/+33??? lemme see, there were 4 on the rooftop fighting Gozer.
    Ray Stantz
    Peter Vinkman
    Egon Spengler
    Winston Zeddemore

    I know all 4 are doing the game, what's Ernie Hudson done to warrant being overlooked?
  • TheKappa, on 11/18/2007, -1/+1Buried due to the 3 other stories covering this already
