We're ready to believe this Ghostbusters intro movie

But on the other hand, wow, that is totally Ghostbusters. From the awkward mundanity of the self-produced advertising, to the Gozer/Shandor references, to the off-screen museum scare, this intro just gets it right. There's something weird, and it does look good. Good thing the game itself looks like a winner as well.

I am really starting to believe that this game is gonna kick some slimer ass.

Ditto use mimic on first post!
Sweet Mother of Card Games this looks awesome.
Henry E. @ Apr 24th 2009 2:37PM
Activision really let a good title go. I have good faith in ghostbuster.
how_much_I_carrot @ Apr 24th 2009 4:39PM
yeah, it looks pretty good!
Gillfigno @ Apr 24th 2009 1:36PM
Where's Winston!?
edgore @ Apr 24th 2009 1:45PM
This is actually another thing that makes it totally accurate - note that the monitor is 4:3 aspect ratio. Therefore, just as in the panned & scanned versions of the movie, Winston is just out of sight on either the left or right of the frame!
Erluti @ Apr 24th 2009 1:48PM
I thought that was just the commercial that's played near the beginning of the movie before Winston is hired.

It's 1991 in the game, Winston has been in the team for 7 years or something. Also, that's not the same commercial as the first movie, but it's very similar.
Anyway, I know Ernie Hudson is on the game, so I'm psyched for the return of the original crew. Can't wait.
Erluti @ Apr 24th 2009 1:59PM
Touche'.
1991 is the first date I ever remembered writing down, and ghostbusters is just super engrained into my early childhood, I never made the connection of the movies actual release date.
But you are right. I don't know where he is.

oh. fuck. yea!! :D
uncle jesse @ Apr 24th 2009 1:40PM
Wow, now that is a good way to get skeptics to start believing in this game!
I've been slimed...and I like it!
Sean @ Apr 24th 2009 1:42PM
Do want.
Mognet T @ Apr 24th 2009 1:42PM
That hit me with a wave of nostalgia that I'm still riding. Dear God that was awesome.
Poisoned Al @ Apr 24th 2009 1:44PM
It's good to have Gozor as the baddie again, if only to make it cannon to have the Traveler back.
Courtney @ Apr 24th 2009 5:17PM
Admit it, you just want to see more naked bubbly people.
jasper @ Apr 24th 2009 1:44PM
so cant wait for this is going to be awsome day 1 purchase for me and ghost busters movie on blu-ray it's going to be fantastic
Fernando Rocker @ Apr 24th 2009 1:44PM
Oh my... I heart Ghostbusters!
This really looks awesome.
Erluti @ Apr 24th 2009 1:46PM
I am literally tingling with anticipation.
Rhamsey @ Apr 24th 2009 1:51PM
god that looks awesome.
RavenLord @ Apr 24th 2009 1:58PM
I can't wait for this game!
I think the reason this game will do well is because it was created with the mindset that it's a game first and not just some extra product made to capitalize on a movie that's just about to release. Considering that the movies this game is based on came out 20 years ago it's nice to see that the developer took great care in paying homage to the source material!
WOOOHOOO! "Bustin makes me feel good!"
Erluti @ Apr 24th 2009 2:02PM
See, this purchase has absolutely nothing to do with gameplay for me. I am getting it solely because the cast and writers returned to create it. I'm willing to endure any amount of terrible or un-interesting gameplay to see what they are calling "Ghostbusters 3."
I have never said that about any video game, before ever. And hopefully never will have to say again.
Yan @ Apr 24th 2009 1:58PM
2 years later. the ghostbusters still have work to do. man the game looks sweet! i hope it will play as good as it sounds and looks

You think that's amazing, just wait till you hear about the Twinkie.
Poisoned Al @ Apr 24th 2009 2:25PM
It's a BIG Twinkie!
HighFiveJesus @ Apr 24th 2009 2:53PM
tell me about the twinkie.
Eric @ Apr 24th 2009 2:09PM
Oh i just pooped a little.
Edog Lost @ Apr 24th 2009 2:12PM
I was expecting something a little better then that. I still hope it's good.
Eric @ Apr 24th 2009 2:16PM
Box art for the game!!! with Winston.

If you're a fan of Ghostbusters and this isn't a day 1 purchase nothing is or nothing will be.
Killiam XXIII @ Apr 24th 2009 2:23PM
GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!!1!!!1
Eddy @ Apr 24th 2009 2:47PM
That was pretty frickin awesome.
Mr. L @ Apr 24th 2009 2:25PM
The next time someone asks you whether or not they should get this game, you say "YES!"
samfish @ Apr 24th 2009 2:42PM
This is going to be awesome, even if the game is horrible.
Also, you have to marvel at the chasm between the Ghostbuster's voice acting and the security guards' voice acting.
Kyle @ Apr 24th 2009 2:52PM
OMG This looks amazing. I am totally getting this game when it comes out
Diskoboy @ Apr 24th 2009 2:52PM
From a total cynic, who saw both movies, opening night, and saw the first one about 5 times, in the theaters - I'm sold.
Mal F4cti0n @ Apr 24th 2009 5:24PM
ditto....
I remember the first time I saw the library ghost come flying at you in the movie theater, so much larger than life. Such a great flick!
That was one of my most memorable movie theater moments!
Gremlins: Keeping my feet off the ground so no gremlins grabbed me.
Rocky III: Punching the back of the seat in front of me and getting punished for yelling, "that was fucking awesome!"
Christmas vacation: Funny movie and my first time feeling a tit. (seventh grade)
DeaconBlade @ Apr 24th 2009 2:54PM
the only thing missing is co-op.
gmoya90 @ Apr 24th 2009 5:15PM
it's having co-op and more features then RE5
MLS @ Apr 24th 2009 3:14PM
I love Ghostbusters and can't wait to play this game, but that clip was pretty terrible. The pacing was way too fast. Didn't establish any feeling of tension or creepiness at all.
Also, who wants to see the Ecto-1 carefully back into a garage? We want to see that sucker come barreling in; if not headfirst into the garage let's at least see it pull off a wreckless handbrake spin.
Eric @ Apr 24th 2009 3:25PM
They have always backed it in dude. It's Barreling out of the Garage you want to see.
LordChimp @ Apr 24th 2009 3:26PM
I hope the entire song by Ray Parker Jr. is in there.
StarFoxA @ Apr 24th 2009 3:42PM
Do want.
Benjamin Heckendorn @ Apr 24th 2009 3:56PM
Don't forget this game also employs Alyssa Milano in a post-Charmed world!
Diskoboy7 @ Apr 24th 2009 5:47PM
Hey, now... Most of us thought she'd never work again, after "Who's The Boss?".
She's gained some credibility over the years, I'll give her that.
Mayne @ Apr 24th 2009 4:04PM
I think I've just been convinced to buy the 360 version, and maybe just rent the Wii version when I want to have fun with multiplayer, and/or buy it some time down the line when I can get it cheaper.
This video got me pumped! I literally started clapping once the theme song kicked in (I was already stoked that they were using snippets from the Elmer Bernstein score)
NeoK-182 @ Apr 24th 2009 4:27PM
that was great. ghostbusters are back baby!!!!
stormtrooper190 @ Apr 24th 2009 4:47PM
is the ps3 version gowing to have the movie built-in
