With Terminal Reality now holding onto development of Ghostbusters like a charged particle accelerator, most eyes have turned away from Zootfly's unlicensed Ghostbusters tech demo footage that leaked into the wild earlier this year. Most, but not all, as Terminal Reality boss Mark Randel admits that Zootfly's efforts actually helped release the concept from the containment system.
"What Zootfly did for us, inadvertently, is help sell the concept," said Randel in an interview with OXM. "When their footage came out, we were close to our green-light meeting, and when the executives saw the reaction from the fans, they immediately knew, 'Hey, Ghostbusters is going to be a big hit - we need to put this game into production.'" We doubt any of this will help Zootfly devs sleep at night -- though we advise if anyone asks if they're a god, they still say "Yes!"

LMAO... the GHOSTBUSTERS spoof in that movie was amazing.
...and then the last 30mins of the movie got totally depressing. x_o Oh, and to make an obvious statement here:
"If the new GHOSTBUSTERS game turns out crappy, expect comments of 'Zootfly should've made it' to riddle the message boards."

If this is successful I will demand and expect a whole raft of video game adaptations of fantastic '80s movies. I'm looking specifically at you Gremlins.

Do you have any hobbies?
I collect spores, molds, and fungus.
That's very fascinating. I like to read myself.
