Yesterday we reported on leaked videos of a possible Ghost Busters game (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23847) from developer Zootfly. A lot of people thought it was fake, but today IGN confirmed (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/755/755532p1.html) that the game is indeed real, and the videos are indeed real. Sweet! But there is bad news, as of now the project is on hold.Bostjan Troha, CEO of ZootFly, told IGN UK: "We are very glad to see the overwhelming response to the Ghostbusters prototype movies. What you've seen is indeed in-game footage of early prototypes on the Xbox 360, running on ZootFly's proprietary engine. Due to licensing issues, further development of the Ghostbusters game hit a bump on the road. But everybody here at ZootFly is working actively on resolving the challenges with the owners of the Ghostbusters IP.

Oh man, I hope this gets resolved. The videos looked TIGHT!

Woohoo! That thing looked pretty damn nice. I hope they can work out the licensing (and make a PS3 version ;)).

"We're making the game; now will someone please let us legally make the game?" Seems like kind of a sketchy way to go about making a game. I do wonder if Bill Murray will allow them to go forward, since he pretty much personally deep sixed a third movie. But then again, he did Garfield and Garfield II -- so obviously he loves money or owes the mob a favor.

The owners of Ghostbusters would have to be retarded to pass up a chance like this. Even if they have no plans to resurrect the films, this would be an excellent use of the IP that could breed further projects in the games industry down the road.

Still, i have to say i'm interested. Gears of War mod or not; it just looked like a lot of fun.

Well the gameplay of the movie looked horrible and simplistic, of course theres more to it than what they've shown so far.

But I agree you'd have to be retarded to turn this one down, imagine if they could put it on the Wii! *cums with joy*.

"We're making the game; now will someone please let us legally make the game?"

I don't think that's how it happened. Usually in these situations, the following happens:

1. Publisher decides it wants a license
2. Publisher gets a developer to make the game.
3. Publisher talks to IP Holder. IP Holder may request a prototype before license approval.
4. Publisher, Dev, and IP Holder work together on a prototype.
5. IP Holder makes final call, negotiations for license.

I'm willing to bet the developers leaked this out onto the net in an attempt to generate a buzz for the game. Once people start talking about it, they're probably hoping that the IP owner would see the dollar signs and greenlight further development/publishing/distribution.

By chance, does anyone know who owns the Ghostbusters license?

If ever there was a game that was supposed to be on Wii, this is it. The Wii remote would make a perfect proton stream emitter, and you could 'throw' the trap with the nunchuck.

That would be a great mechanic and a hell of a lot of fun. Heck, that could even work for multiplayer on the same screen with the "don't cross the streams" thing actually being possible. :)

Agreed. When a friend and I saw movies of Elebits, that's all we could think of; Ghostbusters on Wii.

Don't get me wrong, the 360 version looks like fun, but in a much more traditional way. In fact, as others pointed out, it looks like a GOW mod. Having the completely immersive experience of actually pointing and shooting the proton stream on Wii would be a complete blast.

Someone at the developer HAD to realize that.

I can easily give up HD and bump mapping if it means more fun.

Agreed. While not all games would work on the Wii, this is just one that screams Wiimote. On the 360 this could easily end up as just another shooter (because the 360 really needs more of those) but on the Wii it could be something really different.

You forget that there's no tacticle feedback. You wouldn't be "pulling" ghosts in, since there's no resistance. Which is unfortunate. In this case, the graphical immersion is more important, IMHO (I mean, just watch that video when he's running through the city streets looking up at the skyline, with the sound....goddamn!).

Nothing like a game of the future with graphics of the past! I'm glad it is on modern graphics hardware. The chance of multi player (same screen and internet) goes up exponentially when they move it to other systems.

Sorry. Have to smack you with the 'duh' bat for this one.

There's no tactile feedback on the 360 either, no way to 'pull' the ghosts to you.

I also love how you take a skyline with SOUND to be the pinacle of graphical prowess above feeling the stream emmitter vibrating and making noises in your hand. Your argument is about as soggy as my pasta.

If you want graphics, watch the goddamn movie, cause it was made in the 80s and still looks better than the 360 version.

I vote for the Wii, I know it will take away from the graphics, but I feel it would add to gameplay. I mean what are you going to do on 360 push a button to shoot the proton pack, push a button to throw the trap. That would get boring pretty fast. With the Wii you could work the motion sensing in so catching a ghost would be like fishing. You have to give 'em a little slack, follow as they move left,right,up,down. That and the hum of the stream and vibration coming from the Wiimote. It would make a basic game mechanic alot more immersive. Now that I think about it, it would work for the PS3 too, with the sixaxis.

Either way this is a game I would love to see on ANY system, I hope they get to release it and I hope there is much more to the gameplay besides running around, shoot ghost, trap, repeat.

The Ghostbusters IP is indeed held by Columbia Pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Pictures), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corporation_shareholders_and_subsidiaries).

If sony does indeed own ghostbusters the only way it will be made is if it is a PS3 only game. Maybe (this is a big maybe) later it could be ported to the 360. If it were to be made for the wii (which I don't think is a big deal for sony as much as it would be if it was made for the 360) it would have to be an entirly different game.

On April 8, 2005, the company was acquired by a partnership led by Sony and Comcast in association with Texas Pacific Group and Providence Equity Partners. Sony Pictures Entertainment will distribute several MGM/Columbia Pictures co-productions - most notably Casino Royale - but outside of the co-productions MGM is now actively involved in acquiring worldwide film rights and distributing theatrical motion pictures domestically. 20th Century Fox will be handling the international theatrical distribution and worldwide home video distribution of MGM titles.

"What Danny had originally conceived was sending us to a special-effects hell, a netherworld full of phenomenal visual environments and boiling pits," Ramis revealed. "But what works so well about the first two (films) is the mundane-ness of it all. So my notion was that hell exists in the same place as our consensus reality, but it's like a film shutter. It's the darkness between the 24 frames.

Ramis continued, "So we create a device to do it, and it's in a warehouse in Brooklyn. When we step out of the chamber, it looks just like New York, but it's hell. Everything's grid-locked; no cars are moving and all the drivers are swearing at each other in different foreign languages. No two people speak the same language. It's all the worst things about modern urban life, just magnified."That actually sounds like a pretty cool concept. Here's hoping Ramis can make it work (hint: he probably can).

But then again, he did Garfield and Garfield II -- so obviously he loves money or owes the mob a favor.

It looks like I was half right at least... I don't think anyones ever heard of this developer before.. they sorta sound like the video game version of a garage band. Ghostbusters is a Columbia owned properity, which since the 80's was scooped up for Sony for its Blu-Ray empire. I'm not sure how keen Sony would be to lend a property out to sell on a rival system.
The legal issues reguarding copyrights and more over the likenesses and voices of actors would be extreamly hard. Actors like Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroid might not lend themselves to third rate developer. Tom Cruise has yet to appear in a video game based on one of his movies because he charges so much for the use of his likeness.

I think a ghost buster's game could be awesome, if sqaud based w/ traps, realistic inviroments and the actors who made that movie great.

Upon further investigation, it looks as though Activision also put out the C64 Ghostbusters 2 game (http://cheats.ign.com/objects/550/550389.html), so at one point, they owned the Ghostbusters game license. Maybe there's still hope of a multi-system release?

Man, I loved the c64 version. It had the digitized opening bit ("Ghostbusters! Bwahahahahaaaaa!") which I thought was phenominally cool back then. The SID was so ahead of its time. *memories*

Anyhow, I don't care what console this comes out for (bases covered), as long as it does. I could see this being shitloads of fun on the Wii/Wiimote, but we're not going to get the kind of graphics we're seeing in the demo. Seems the company is aiming for PS3/360 (assuming Sony hasn't the game rights locked up), either of which is fine by me. ;)

I personally don't like the look of the game. The Ghostbusters aren't hardened marines in battle armor and a brand new Dodge, they're frumpy scientists who spent all their money on nuclear devices so had to buy a crappy old car and do a job akin to plumbing only with capturing (not destroying/killing) ghosts. Ghostbusters is a comedy, not an action, and a game should follow in that vein.

Yeah, you would think that would matter. It doesn't though.

Sony doesn't know what the other hand is doing and the legal ownership is not in the Games division.

Sony lends the License that Columbia/tristar owns to Zoofly for exchange to a new medium I.E. Video game. Then Zoofly owns that IP for that medium as discribed by the contract with the movie studio NOT SCEA.

They then can get licenses to publish on whatever system they choose.

Example? Bond films are now Sony property, and guess what they are published by EA who puts them wherever they damn well please.

Though when the actual movie comes to be released on HDDVD or BluRay Sony will definately have a say on making you own a Bluray for high def Muray/Ramis hijinks.

I understand that this feature on a Wii, would be neat. But I think some are making too big a deal, you say sacraficing graphics for fun is acceptable and with that I agree. I just don't see moving my hands adding such an enormous amount of fun that it would be boring on a normal controller.

Is it a cool feature that I would enjoy on a Wii? Yes. Would it make other consoles versions less fun? I highly doubt it.

The script, written by Aykroyd, is said to feature a hell that looks alot like New York City. The Ghostbusters are able to be transported into hell via a portal in a New York warehouse.
Looks like Aykroyd already wrote it.

Oh God ! This has failure written all over it... it's a shame how much Ghostbusters 2 sucked. Don't get me wrong, the original Ghostbusters is one of my favourite movies of all time but the sequel was really bad, and now they are making a 3rd one ?

I honestly don't understand how you can like the first one, and not like the second one. They're both very similar movies, and they're both great.

On a side note, I hope like hell they don't add Ben "All I can play are neurotic characters" Stiller to the mix. That would ruin the movie for me. Seeing him play the same damn role he always plays in a ghostbuster movie would be horrible.

God forbid Murray take a break from the upstanding Garfield movies to make Ghostbusters 3...something tells me if the price is right, he'll come back. Now if it interferes with any plans to make a Life Aquatic 2, screw Ghostbusters.

Uhh. No.

The 2nd movie is an abomination.

I'm going to have to agree and say #2 was horrible, damn horrible.

I honestly don't know exactly how bad #2 is... why? Because I watched it once when it was out in theatres and have only seen snippets of it since. I have both films on DVD and still haven't bothered to watch the second one. The first one is awesome, but the second just seemed lacklustre TO THE MAX!

I mean, the pink ectoplasm? A walking Statue of Liberty? Feh.

I'll have to watch it again soon (maybe tomorrow whilst I convalesce from this nasty flu/cold thing), just to make sure it's as meh as I remember it.

I'll be the first to admit that the first movie is the better film. The plot was just better. The second movie is still plenty funny though.

Ray: Don't talk to me; talk to my attorney.
Louis Tully: And that's me! My guys are still under a judicial mistrangement order... that blue thing I got from her! They could be exposing themselves!
Peter Venkman: And you don't want us exposing ourselves!

well if they can't make a gb game for the wii, how about a sequel to Lugi's Madison?
