Ghostbusters Artist Gets The Shaft (News)

Jun 23, 2009

TGH writes:
"This one kinda hits it close to home. It's not uncommon for an artist to get the short end of the stick in the industry. But, every time it does happen, it's really disappointing. The latest in such situations deals with the recently released "Ghostbusters" on the Wii. If you hadn't noticed, it uses a stylized take on the famed characters instead of trying to replicate the look of the HD versions of the game. The Wii's style was inspired by an independent artist by the name of Dan Schoening. His Ghostbusters renditions laid the foundation for the Wii's stylized look. If you take a look at some of his original work, you'll see the inspirations all throughout his pieces, and personally I feel his work is miles better than the final look they settled on for the game. Below are his words posted from his deviantART blog about the whole matter of not getting recognized… all he wanted was his name in the games credits! Also..."

Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Review)

Jun 17, 2009

The dreams of thousands, nay, millions of twentysomethings came true recently. Despite delays, a publisher change and a few holdout actors, the Ghostbusters are back, two decades after their last film. And while the PS3 and 360 get the more lifelike and filmic interpretations of the foursome, Wii owners get a version that, while trimmed, at least tried a little harder than most Wii games to be something special. ...

The Wii, PS2, and DS versions differs greatly in graphical style from the 360 and PS3 version, and the box arts for those respective versions mimic it. Even the ghosts on the E10+ Rated versions aren't as menacing as the T rated version. The It's good to see publishers taking the honest and upfront route in this case.

NYCC: Losing Publisher Actually Helped Ghostbusters (News)

Feb 8, 2009

When a publisher drops a game, particularly a game late in development, it puts developers into a bind. They'll end up moving onto other projects while searching for someone - anyone - to come in and publish their product.

However, the upcoming multi-platform Ghostbusters game seems to have benefited from being dumped by their original publisher.

E3 08: Ghostbusters: The Video Game demo footage (News)

Jul 15, 2008

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."

Ghostbusters Game Built To Offer Scares Or Laughs Every 15 Feet (News)

Jun 12, 2008

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."

Speaking to videogaming247 at the Sierra Spring Break 08 in Mallorca last week, Terminal Reality confirmed the everybody's favourite Marshmallow Man, Stay Puff't, will definitely feature in the upcoming Ghostbusters game, and showed the meltable monster off in a highly impressive Infernal Engine demo.

"What you can see here is that I can push against the pile [of objects] and the player can interact with physically simulated objects with no jitter, no pushing and no disability problems," said Mark Randel, Terminal Reality president.

Ghostbusters site goes live, Mr. Puft unreachable for comment (News)

Apr 10, 2008

Destructoid writes: "A game site going live isn't normally an incredibly exciting part of a hyped game's belabored crawl to a release date, that is unless it's the site for Ghostbusters: The Game, at which point all bets are off and any new media is like perfectly melon-balled spheres of mana from heaven, fed to you by two shaven love-slaves whilst reclining on a dais carved from pure gold. Don't believe me? Just ask Colette; the woman literally urinated all over the new carpet in my office (utility closet) here at HQ when I showed her the site."

2007's worst kept gaming secrets (Feature)

Dec 18, 2007

18th Dec, 2007 There are some things that developers and publishers just don't want you to know. And given the unnaturally high number of game announcements, hardware revelations, industry shake-ups, and all round cool things going on this year, they've wanted you to not know a lot during 2007. Thankfully though, the internet exists, and thus nothing is sacred. That's the eternal irony of the games industry.

IGN: Ghostbusters: Video Game Preview (News)

Dec 5, 2007

It's clear, then, that Ghostbusters is on the right track. It's worth coming back, however, to the tech underpinning the game once again. After all, it was largely the technology Â¿ the Infernal engine that Terminal Reality has been working on for the last seven to eight years Â¿ that helped convince Sierra that the time was right to do Ghostbusters. As already mentioned, the physics system is top notch, allowing for hundreds of interactive/destructible objects to be on-screen at once (and you'll even get a 'damage done' total at the end of each mission), but the engine is also capable of creating other kinds of spectacles. As anyone who has seen the Ghostbusters films would know, whenever the city is about to be swallowed into hell, huge crowds of New Yorkers turn up to cheer or jeer our heroes on, irrespective of personal danger. The game will very much pay homage to this, with a lot of activity out on the streets. One scene in particular Â¿ set during the Macy's Day Parade - will feature hundreds of people walking about at once. Stress tests on the system had 3000 basic polygonal characters walking up and down a section of street.

Ghostbusters The Video Game (Preview)

Dec 4, 2007

Dec 4, 2007 Thanksgiving, 1991. The events of the Ghostbusters II movie - oil-painted villain Vigo the Carpathian vanquished by Dr. Peter Venkman and team - took place two years ago. But the city of New York has embraced the law of original Ghostbusters baddie Gozer, and a museum dedicated to his (her?) architecture and art is about to open. So it looks like the perfect time for our spook-smashing heroes to set up an offshoot franchise team - with you as the newest recruit. Yada, yada, yada. ...
