Cant decide if this is A. dumbing down the game for tots and moms or B. We simplified the controls for the benefit of the game

I hope B but fear A

I was thinking the same thing. Why would they change the controls? Were they getting bad reviews from them?

Yeah, personally I think wrangling ghosts should be challenging. Some Sixaxis love guiding the ghosts towards the traps would also be nice.

Yeah, it's certainly an odd comparison, GoW? That's not exactly a complex game at all, control-wise. Pretty simple actually, so hopefully they'll incorporate enough other compelling elements to still make it schweet.

I expect B, but hope for A?

How bout a little music?

Basically, he means every PS3 owner who ever said GoW sucks but then enjoy this Ghostbusters game would actually like GoW too.

No. I think Gears sucks because it's a testosterone filled 15 year old boy's wet dream of sci-fi redneck violence. I get no aesthetic satisfaction from it whatsoever. Ghostbusters, on the other hand, is a film I've cherished since I was five. I love all the characters, ghost-gizmos, music... everything. So this game could be a total gameplay/camera/controls clone of GoW, and I'll think it's awesome; but I'll still hate on Gears because their universe is garbage.

MLS - thank you for so eloquently summing up my feelings about GOW and all of Epic's games lately.

Gears is fun.

That's really all that matters.

Obviously, as are most folks, I'm a bigger fan of the original than the sequel. But I did always enjoy this scene a great deal

This news servery reduces my previously throbbing hardon for this game. Didn't like Gears much, I didn't. I'm still hard for it, just not big, throbbing veins purple headed hard.


I'm also a cynic at heart, so I expect to go completely flaccid once I actually play it, if only because early hands on with the game haven't been bad, but haven't been exactly good, either. Wii version is apparently the one to get, but I don't want the cartoon style graphics. I want this experience to be as close to Ghostbusters 3 as possible!

I think atari is doing a very smart move here, with all the development studios going down, they're using what moolah they have left to buy up the assets, and then even if the game is almost done, they're spending extra time on it polishing it up. I mean, was there even one atari game published in 2008? I'm not sure, but I think there will be alot less "filler" games and until they climb back up the mountain they're just trying for AA and AAA titles to get their rep back. Smart move, Atari, smart move.
