Kotaku via craiglist writes: "Terminal Reality put out the call for volunteer playtesters to go hands on with Ghostbusters: The Video Game a few weeks ago, giving local folks a chance to play the game months before its release.

If you happen to be in the Dallas/Lewisville, Texas area, you might want to inquire if they're still ongoing. The Craigslist posting notes that there will "several sessions over the next month both during the day and in the evening" so we'd say bug 'em. We've played it, so we'd definitely encourage you to try to do the same. It's not a paying gig, but you do get the bragging rights of having played Ghostbusters."

Well, if you're a fan of the movie, like me, you may already know that Ghostbusters is more about jokes then scares, but there also was a creepy side to it. I mean that's what made Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters. And what should make the game any different?

Vivendi Games bought the rights to the PAX badge lanyards way back in January and actually delivered them to PAX in June, two months before PAX 2008 began. Just a few weeks before the show the Activision Blizzard merger became official and the new company decided it didn't want to publish the Ghostbusters game after all, leaving PAX with advertising a game that is currently "between publishers". As PAX head man Robert Khoo stated, ""We didn't have much of a choice as finding an alternate lanyard provider, so we just ran with it." The game is still expected to be released sometime in 2009 but a new publisher has yet to be announced.

Destructoid writes: "And the E3 videos keep on a'coming. This latest footage comes from our friends over at G4, who got some time with associate producer Ryan French and the latest demo of Sierra's upcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game (maybe no one told them we spell it "videogame" round these parts). Although it's coming out for virtually every system this demo is shown running on the game's primary platform, the PlayStation 3.

Interesting fact that's revealed during the hands-on: it turns out that the rookie Ghostbuster that you'll be controlling was actually modeled after Ryan. It may have just been a way for the studio to save money, but getting a character modeled after you is still pretty damn cool.

One feature that I found pretty interesting is that while you'll get money for every ghost you capture, you'll also get charged by the city of New York for all the collateral damage you cause. What money you get to keep after every mission can then be spent to upgrade your equipment, so it should give trigger happy players some pause before they start blowing up public buildings -- to enjoy the beautiful destruction effects -- unless they don't care about getting the latest in proton pack technology."

MTV Multiplayer writes: "Like fellow Multiplayer reporter Patrick Klepek, I too grew up with the "Ghostbusters" films and plastic Proton Packs. So when I saw the Egon, Ray and Winston battling apparitions and making quips in the New York Public Library - all rendered on the PS3 - I was taken aback.

It was like watching a long-lost "Ghostbusters" sequel.

"Our intent was to combine the action of 'Gears of War' and the comedy [of the films]," Brendan Gross, development director at Terminal Reality, at a Sierra demo earlier this wee. "We tried to have something funny or scary every 15 feet."

Gross told me that his studio is trying to take greater care making a movie game than gamers would normally expect. "We're really moving more down that direction, especially with the generation three platforms," he said. For "Ghostbusters" specifically, he said it helped to have the development time frame that they had (they've been developing the game for over two years). And having worked on the "Aeon Flux" movie game, the development studio knows the pitfalls of trying to to have a product released in tandem with a licensed film."

MTV Multiplayer writes: "We've seen many developers struggle with multi-platform development this generation. Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are different technical beasts. Complications with the wildly popular Unreal Engine 3 middleware have made things even more difficult.

Terminal Reality, the studio behind the upcoming "Ghostbusters," spent a lot of time evaluating each console before moving forward with their first next-generation game, Terminal Reality president Mark Randell told MTV Multiplayer at a Sierra media event last month.

In the end, contrary to most teams this generation, they decided to make PlayStation 3 their lead development platform for "Ghostbusters." Here's why."
