It's a story about four losers who hunt ghosts. This is the first plausibility issue you have?

Plus, continuity aside, Stay Puft is the Hoth of Ghostbusters. On the rare chance there is a Ghostbusters game, Stay Puft better damn well be in it.

And the library ghost and Slimer in the hotel...

Those may not even be parts of the game, but even if they are, who doesn't want to visit them?

Does a "Writer's Strike" apply only to television, and not videogames?

According to one of the podcasts I just listened to, that is indeed the case. Video game writing isn't covered under the strike.

you know...I almost don't care how fucking bad this game ends up being, I want to play it. I've always thought that Ghostbusters would make a damn fine game, especially with something like, say, the Resident Evil Engine or Crackdown's Engine.

DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!

This game must have 4-player online co-op. I doubt they'll put it in, but that would just be awesome.

Either way, I dont think Ive wanted a game more!

Whilst being entertained by Ghostbusters developer Terminal Reality at the Sierra Spring Break 08 in Mallorca last week, studio director John O’Keefe said that the PS2 and Wii versions were being outsourced to Red Fly, and that you’ll be able to connect your DS to your Wii and use it as your PKE meter (the Ghostbusters’ spook-tracker).

Details stopped there, unfortunately, although there will be four-way split-screen in the Wii and PS2 versions.

Ghostbusters will be released worldwide in October.
Damn, that's cool! This may well be the first multi-platform game I buy on two consoles. Wii for the controls/experience and 360 for the graphics, online, and achievements.

Speaking to videogaming247 at the Sierra Spring Break 08 in Mallorca last week, Terminal Reality president Mark Randel admitted that Ghostbusters on PS3 has been held back by the fact will also release on 360, saying that the game would have double the amount of objects on screen if it had been PS3-only.

I read that somewhere... the Ghostbuster Dev prefers the PS3. You know, i remember reading a lot of comments like no games ever gonna fill up dvd-9 or multiple discs are okay, blah blah. I guess it's time to say "haha, you're so wrong."

Edit:
Err, never mind, i think i poked the wrong way... i know the capacity has nothing to do the # of objects to be manipulated on the screen (as in the post above in discussion). Let me put it this way, "haha, another dev said the PS3 is complicated to code for" Well, things don't turn out that way... As to disc capacity, while it's OT, but we all know gaming on dvd-9 is not the new gen.

Disc space has nothing to do with the number of objects that can be rendered on screen.

I knew you or somebody gonna say that!

bottom line, same thing "the PS3 is hard to code, devs having so much problem with it."

They do have nothing to do with one another. Hell, read the article: the reason the dev gives is that the PS3 has more CPUs to do simultaneously processing. Even that's an over-simplification, but it has nothing to do with disc capacity.

It sort of flies in the face of other "developers commenting on the PS3" comments in the past. That, while it was technically more powerful, it was harder to code for and memory access was way slower. Certainly they've found creative ways around that in the last 2 years, but that's the last I read.
