Ghostbusters - Now with Stay Puft Awesomeness

[whiteboyskim]

 

Variety now reports the following:

All four members of the movie team -- Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis -- will be giving voice and likeness rights for the game. Some supporting castmembers have signed up as well, including William Atherton, Brian Doyle Murray and Annie Potts.

In addition, film scribes Aykroyd and Ramis will pen a story for the vidgame that takes place in the early '90s, after "Ghostbusters II," during a new ghoul invasion of New York City.

Oh, and the game looks to feature multiplayer AND co-op. Call your friends and trade quotes while blasting ghosts as New York's finest? Hell yeah.

"Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."

And no, I didn't quote that from memory...

By the way, found a nifty fan trailer for a movie version of part 3 I thought pretty cool. Check it out on YouTube here.

Who the fuck comes in here and puts down Ghostbusters?  "Nobody steps on a church in my town!"

A cookie to someone who could remember the full names of our favorite GhostBusters (without Googling). This is probably wrong, but my best recollection is:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Egon Spengler
Winston Zedmore
Peter Venkman
Ray <something - I keep forgetting>

[Knightshade Dragon]

100% in.  If ever there was a game that screamed Co-Op, it is this.

"Get her, Ray?"

exactly where you are buddy.  i can recall those three perfectly, but not ray's last name.  funny thing about sigourney weaver's character is we actually have a consultant named dana barrett.  sadly, whenever i drop a line in reference to her, noone else gets it. 

[PeteRock]

Sorry, Venkman, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

I'm Winston Zeddmore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but these things are real.  Since I joined these men, I've seen shit that'll turn you white.

This game will be fun if only to exchange Ghostbusters quotes while frying ghosts.

Gellar is right. This thread is overflowing with fail and that makes any child of the '80s sad. "Ghostbusters" for the win. Although I love this quote from the second one:

"Two in the box."

"Ready to go!"

"We be fast, and THEY BE SLOW!"

[PeteRock]

That's gotta be some cockroach.

Bite your head off, man.




I could do this all day.

Slime him!

careful Dep, don't piss off Tim Roth......

[depward]

Ghostbusters.  Really?  Even Gigli was better than any of those movies.  NO ONE ELSE doesn't like those movies?!

[gellar]

You are ruining what credibility you once had.

[WinoMcCougarstein]

The first Ghostbuster movie is classic!  Sorry, I've never seen Gigli.

[CeeKay]

Even Gigli was better than any of those movies.

and TML was the one we thought was a woman? 

[WinoMcCougarstein]

Oh Ceekay, you seem so insecure.

[Bullwinkle]

Depward, are you sure you're not confusing it with these guys:

[Eightball]

Ghostbusters.  Really?  Even Gigli was better than any of those movies.  NO ONE ELSE doesn't like those movies?!

How can you not like such a classic as the first one?  Next up, you're going to say that Big Trouble in Little China wasn't any good.

And then we eat you.

[Bullwinkle]

On topic, while wiping the incredulous look off my face at how depward can be different from the entire rest of the English speaking world (it looks like this:  ), G4 has some gameplay footage, including Stay Pufft in action:

well how'd you feel if you thought Dep was the cool one and then he disses Ghostbusters?  It's like someone saying that Santa isn't real!

[MrDuck]

I am utterly -shocked- no one's delivered the best (or amongst the top 5) Ghostbusters' Quote!

*Ahem*

"We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!"

Yay, Venkman!


Also....this news does seem cool and sure was out of the blue.....eep...hope they make the game kickass

[metallicorphan]

my favourite quote:(stolen from IMDB)

Dr Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
Mayor: Is this true?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true.
[pause]
Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dick.



anyway,i am sure that the new ghostbusters game will be good,but...picture little metal orphan in Britain in the 80s,playing on his Sinclair Spectrum 128k +2 with built in datacorder ....playing his favourite game...Ghostbusters

the new game will be good.....but will it be better than this!!???
Ghostbusters from Activision(1984)

you could sing along to the theme tune on the title screen because the words appeared on the screen..the new one better have this!!






the answer is NO...No it wont be better than this!!

okay,it might be

In addition, film scribes Aykroyd and Ramis will pen a story for the vidgame that takes place in the early '90s, after "Ghostbusters II," during a new ghoul invasion of New York City.

Yeah... I'm thinking that #1- we all saw GB2 and it sucked, and #2- they might want to pretend GB2 never happened.

This might be a case where the game company would likely do a much, much better job.

And PS, Gigli is not better than anything whatsoever.  If someone thinks it's better than GhostBusters... go downtown and turn in your penis.

Hell, you don't even need a penis to love Ghostbusters.  I know plenty of women who love it.

I was in Manhattan about six months ago with my 4 year old daughter.  Way downtown.  When we headed back to the parking lot, I noticed this small, thin building with a red door across the street.  I just about geeksploded.  I asked the attendant and, sure enough, it was the Ghostbusters HQ.  I had to explain it to my kid, but had to add that she had to wait to see the movie (she'd never make it past the librarian).

The quotes that probably drop into real life most often for me are:

"...dogs and cats living together.  Mass hysteria!" (my wife actually said this just the other day)
"Nice shot, Tex!"
and
"I'm right in the middle of something, Ray!" with added slap to addressee's head.


Oh, and there was no Ghostbusters II.  Never happened.

[unbreakable]

I was actually going the other way with that line.  I don't think anyone who likes Gigli has any need for a penis.

The original Ghost Busters was simply ten tons of awesomeness.  I'll never understand how it was possible to screw up GB2 so badly.
