Ghostbusters cost $15-20 million, devs would love to revisit franchise

Ghostbusters: The Video Game has allegedly sold over one million copies -- after costing $15-20 million to produce. The figures were revealed in a feature about developer Terminal Reality in the Star-Telegram of Texas. Although the price tag may seem high, it's not unusual for next-gen development. Remember, Ken Levine revealed BioShock cost about $15 million in fancy 2007 dollars.

Terminal Reality's co-founder, Mark Randel, says he's heard the game's success has sparked interest in a third movie and, if that happens, he'd love for the company to handle development of the obligatory tie-in game. Let's see if we got this straight: the next game would be based on the third Ghostbusters movie, spawned by the success of the video game, created to tie in with the 25th anniversary of the first movie and, of course, the game was written as if it were the third movie. We got that right?

I would rather want a remake of this game.

What do I mean? I mean a graphically improved version of the PS3 version.
I didn't buy it because the graphics were so lame compared to the XBox360 version.
They should remake the PS3 version and make it at least as equivalent to the 360 version. Then I'll definitely buy it.

i started to like the demo i played on ps3. it didn't look horrible or anything and the game was getting kind of fun. i'm waiting till the price goes down and i'll pick it up along with the movie on blu-ray

cool, cool, confusing yet cool... how about they fix the bugs and glitches that mess up the current game, and keep people from getting achievements before they think about another game?
polar slimer anyone?
