    yeah, you play the fifth 'buster. Your role is pretty much the guinea pug testing out the new addons and gear Egon whips up... you're the expendable one. Your character doesn't have any spoken lines. This is so the interactions of the other busters are true to the movies.

    If you go to Gametrailers.com there's the gameplay videos that were shown over the summer. Yes, you do play as a rookie. He's an "experimental equipment technician", which is to say "guinea pig for Igon's inventions that no one quite trusts yet."

    Not sure if anyone caught it, but the guy cowering under the table in the trailer is Peck ("dickless"), the guy who shuts them down in the first movie and deactivates the containment grid.

    The game needs Rick Moranis and Annie Potts. "It's a sign." "Yeah, going out of business."

    Potts is in, Moranis, as of this moment is not in game nor is Weaver. Which I can understand. Rick is for the most part retired (I think he said as much in an interview) and Weaver's character isn't needed. Besides, how many times can one woman be the focal point of a transdimensional crossing of demons? it gets to a point where you just shoot her in the head to stop stuff from happening.

    Ghostbusters Wii footage.

    Looks like they changed the art style slightly from what we were shown. All voice actors are the same, follows the same story as the PS3/360/PC Games. Levels are changed slightly.

    It looks interesting enough for me to pick it up eventually... and co-op mode? Even sweeter =)

    But yeah, still getting the 360 version for the 'playable movie' feel and the Wii will be the 'game based off a movie' game lol

    Ghostbusters: Shakycam in-game footage | GamesRadar

    new "next gen" footage and we get to see details of one of the proton pack's new function modes.

    which, sadly, has killed my dream of making a game accurate proton pack... there's no way I can duplicate all that!

    BEHOLD!

    SUPER THREAD BUMP!

    (sorry, wasn't sure if this deserved it's own new topic or not...)

    anyway, Gametrailers put up the opening cinematic to the game... I've watched this at least 20 times already. bastards had this as the VERY LAST THING on the TV show tonight too... jerks...

    Just a fun little nerd fact... the new Ecto-1B is based off of the Ecto-1 Universal Studios Florida had on display years ago (and later left to rot in some storage lot before being bought by someone in the GB community). The roof rack was completely inaccurate to the original Ecto-1 from the first movie. The only difference now between the game's Ecto-1B and the USF Ecto-1 is that large garbage can looking thing in the game.

    I'm on the fence about waiting for the 360 version, or going PS3 and then picking up the Wii version later instead ¬_¬

    Wow, that's incredibly crap of Sony. At least the 360 version is still coming out, but it's really annoying I have to wait just because Sony wanted it on timed exclusive.
