Ghostbusters Video Game Rumored

On Monday they appeared on youtube. Four videos, each detailing various aspcets of a possible Ghostbuster’s video game. Attributed to the European developer Zootfly the videos caused a big stir, and now Zootfly has officially owned up to them.

The videos showcase a modernized, third person ghosthunting adventure for the Xbox 360. According to Zootfly, there is a temporary intelectual property issue to work out with whoever owns the Ghostbuster franchise. Let’s hope they work it out, cause then along with Halo 3 and Wars, I’d have 3 reasons to go out and buy a 360.

So this first video shows out ghostbuster running about and zapping ghosts. He misses alot, just like in the movies, and things from street signs to the sides of buildings joyfully explode!

This next video is a short little car chase with the new Echo-1. The music is a little… well, let’s hope it’s not the final version. Also, it looks more like this little car scene is a cut-scene, and not indicating that you actually get to drive the Ecto.

The third video is apparently a car customization feature. It also features the project’s version of the Ghostbuster’s logo very prominently.

The final video is apparently a cutscene of Dr. Peter Venkman talking to the press. The audio is taken from Ghostbusters 2, with a few edits. Also, it looks a lot like Bill Murray, which would make the game stand apart from the cartoon series, which failed to obtain the likeness rights of the actors in the film.

And finally, here’s a big version of that concept art at the top of the page. The proton packs look menacing, and the Ghostbusters look ready for a tour in Iraq. New desktop found! Winston looks a bit like Jerry Seinfeld though…

GHOSTBUSTERS!
