New Ghostbusters Video Game in the Works

Next month's issue of Game Informer has a big, familiar symbol on its cover. On their website, they tease the announcement of a brand-new Ghostbusters video game. This isn't some knock-off, either: "Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd are getting back together and revisiting their roles to make a sequel to Ghostbusters 1 and 2 - in video-game form, and we've got the first details. Both Aykroyd and Ramis are teaming up for scriptwriting duties and are going far beyond just the typical licensed add-your-voice-to-the-game-you-had-nothing-to-do-with formula" Commentary on the announcement provided by Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

"We had a good francise, and dickless here came along and created a video game from it."

"Is this true?"

"Yes sir, it's true. This man has no dick."

What do you mean big?

[Iphtashu Fitz]

Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

What about the Twinkie?

Multiplayer?

[JK_the_Slacker]

I see an opportunity to coin a term here... when you're engaged in multiplayer, and your teammate crosses streams with you, resulting in both your deaths... we'll call that streamkilling. Or teamcrossing. I'm still working on it.

Here's some spoiler cheat info for you

In this game if someone asks you if you're a god YOU SAY YES!

As I seem to remember there was a movie about some Mario brothers that turned out to be a pretty big game.

Hmph. These days a "hello world" executable can run 1.7 MB. Maybe in YOUR world.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
                printf("Hello, world!\n");
                return(0);
}


compiled with gcc 3.4:

Actually, the movie "Super Mario Bros." was a real-life documentary recounting the every-day struggles of a couple Italian plumbers living in the big city. That it had everything in common with the video games released almost a decade before was entirely coincidence.

Yes, have some.
