While Ghostbusters is very much a continuation of the movies, Terminal Reality is keen to ensure that the first few hours of this third-person shooter will be instantly familiar to fans, with numerous well-known faces making an appearance in the opening few levels, including floating green pustule Slimer and the intolerant librarian from the start of the original flick.

Creative director Drew Haworth explained that he and his team were using these reappearances as a chance to delve more deeply into the background of each ghost. "One of your tasks will be to scan ghosts," explained Drew as he fired up the game's library level. "You'll have to scan the ghosts with your PKE meter to be able to access information about them in Tobin's Spirit Guide."

"All of the significant ghosts will be making a return," interjected John as Drew descended into the library's basement. "We're making a lot of ghosts that are more set-piece contextual ghosts, such as two brothers who were prisoners. Some ghosts will have stories, others will be simpler. Many ghosts, like the Librarian, will have a lot of background information about them."
