See, times haven't been so good for your buddy Ernie. And when you buy something that says Ghostbusters on it, I get some money. In the biz, we call it a "residual." I know what you're saying: "Ernie, isn't it a bit troubling that around half the trailer is just clips from the movies?" Listen, what part of "hard times" do you not understand?

Ummm.... that was about 75% live film footage. That was idiotic.

Actually, 76% of the clip is game-play footage (all though some of that does have movie footage playing adjacent to it.) The clip is ~1:55 and I timed ~28 seconds of screen-dominating movie clips. I actually wrote a quick program to time mouse-clicks, instead of just eyeballing it.

haha Nerd.
Nah, nice job. Any film footage is too much for me.

Hey, games industry, you listening?

Doesnt't Sony own the Ghostbusters brand via Columbia Pictures? Why would Sony release it on 360?
I guess this would apply to Spiderman too?
(Not trying to start a fanboy war just asking.)

Cause they want to make sure SOMEBODY buys the game...
and limiting their product to less than 50% of the market just seems retarded.
someone has to pay for the gaping wound that Sony is bleeding Bluray out of.

...And it would also apply to James Bond. Please someone tell me that they noticed the more than just product placement in Casino Royale.

I dont think Sony owns the 007 IP. They distributed the last movie but I dont think they own the IP.

I can only repeat: please, please, please be good.
If it's not good yet, hold it back. Make it good. We'll wait. Really we will.

Why do I get the feeling that I would've enjoyed this game about 20 years ago?
This video just lowered my interest in this game.

Dude, Ernie Hudson works a lot. More than Dan Akroyd at this point.
