hey so if anyone else reads AICN then they probably saw this:

Weird new ghostbusters videogame movies

The whole thing is pretty obviously not a "real" videogame, but the question is if it is just some kind of hoax or if it is videos of something that will actually be playable (like a mod of some kind). Since the AICN talkbacks have basically turned into a really obnoxious series of in jokes as of late (and for this article in particular, just a bunch of random quotes from the ghostbuster movies) no one seems to have any real information about what the hell it is.

So... anyone? At any rate, the videos are kind of cool looking... this certainly won't do anything to dry the gushing fountain of unrealistic hope for ghostbusters 3. ;_;

Well the studio, Zootfly, appears to be real.
They're Slovenian.

Well, judging from the video, they certainly deserve to make the game. watching that one "gameplay" video made me want to play immediately.

This is almost surely Valve's Source engine. Gunman Chronicles is a spin-off from the original Half Life, and Panzer Elite Action is a sort-off action tank thing that isn't very good. Some of the stuff they did isn't very good (shallow point and clicks, sub-par RTS - you know, PC games), but they know their action. I'm thinking by the names that they do alot of ports and offshore programming.

I'm sort of not digging the more modern looking Ecto-1. That is my only complaint, really.

[BotageL]

I'd play Ghostbusters of War.

Or Tom Clancy's Ghostbusters.

This doesn't look too shabby!

Really, I don't know how the next-gen consoles (or even last gen) have yet to tap the whole Ghostbusters license. I mean the 20th anniversary of the first movie wasn't that long ago, after all. Is it just not a viable license anymore?

Hell, mix the movies with the cartoon and you'd have some fine material to work with.

Anyway, Toups is right on about the need for a Wii Ghostbusters game. Considering the last good game to come out of the franchise was Ghostbusters II for the Gameboy, one of these sorts of things is long overdue.

Might be pretty cool!

That first video makes it look pretty fucking dark for a Ghostbusters game, with all the urban wreckage and shrieks of terror.

Dude, who doesn't want to take on the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man in glorious 3D?

dan aykroyd wrote ghostbusters‽

You know, watching that first video again, some of those screams sound like they were lifted directly from X-Com: UFO Defense. Though I think that game used a lot of stock sound effects, too.

I remember that Aykroyd was trying to shop around a script for a new Ghostbusters a while back . . . as I understand it, the failure of Evolution "proved" that nobody liked Ghostbusters stuff anymore, and the studios balked. A shame, as there's certainly milk left in that cow.

[tacotaskforce]

Script? It was no script. Aykroyd can't write scripts. He writes treatments and worlds and technology. He's a Tom Clancy for fictional technology and what he writes is a bore because he is a nerd.

That Peter Venkman video is some seriously uncanny valley shit.

I'd be really excited if this came out, even though I think it won't be very good?

I just hope this game requires the use of ghost traps and team startegy.

If it makes you guys feel any better, a version of beatmania IIDX featuring the Ghostbusters theme was present at AICN.
