Ghostbusters gets new E3 video

by Justin McElroy { Jul 15th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Hey, it's popular stage and screen actor Ernie Hudson. Boy, have you seen this new video for Ghostbusters? That may look like a movie, but it's actually a video game! (I know, I was surprised too!) But more important than whether or not it's a game or a movie is that it really looks good, I think. Good in the way that I think you should all go buy it right away.

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?

wow this looks like garbage. this a shame.

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.
