X3F Impressions: Ghostbusters
How long has it been since the original Ghostbusters hit theaters? It was over two decades ago you say? Well then, it sounds like the perfect time to revive the franchise, capitalize on nostalgia, and of course churn out some crappy video game tie-ins. What's that you say there? Ghostbusters the game actually looks good? Really? Really. It does. With a fresh approach to the license based around manipulating the environment, and with an entirely in-house engine, Terminal Reality and Sierra could be looking at the best licensed game since Riddick.As a third person action-adventure, you're the newbie on the team in a story written by some of the property's original writers. The gameplay is mostly based around the backpack (Proton Pack), and the game uses it and the many colored lights and meters on it as the equivalent of your HUD. We weren't able to see much gameplay (just a section of a single level), but we were shown some impressive tech demos which showcased some very impressive physics. After the advent of middleware and Havok, impressive physics aren't something you see much anymore, but when witnessing over a thousand Gamecube sized blocks moving and bouncing independently a la those crazy videos of Crysis, all you can possibly think is impressive physics.
Ghostbusters website and footage materialize
Oh, what did we ever do to deserve this? Barely a day after the existence of the Ghostbusters game is confirmed, we have an official website and the first trailer for the game. The website comes complete with screenshots and some info about the game, including the official press release from Sierra. The game is being created for 360, PS3, and PC by Terminal Reality (AEon Flux, BloodRayne 1 & 2). Red Fly Studio is handling the Wii, PS2, and DS iterations. Players will take on the role of a new recruit in the Ghostbusters team, helping them stop a new outbreak of ghoulish activity in New York City. But enough talk! Check out the video by hitting the "read" link to see the game in action (unfortunately, G4's embeddable player isn't quite up to snuff). Seeing how far along development has already come, we're starting to get a pretty clear picture of why Zootfly's prototype was shot down so quickly earlier this year.
