The Official GHOSTBUSTERS Thread

[Soapy]

Nice bonus, but it pales in comparison to my massive 16 inch Stay Puft that rules over my DVD cabinet. t:

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Just a heads up for pre-ordering folk, a new pre-order bonus as popped up. If you pre-order the game at GameCrazy you get a free Stay Puft Marshmellow Man Figure.

An actual Ghostbuster's uniform? Or is it just a in-game costume? Dont tell me its an actual uniform I can wear around the house and when I'm out about...busting ghosts and the like.

 

[Tron Bonne]

No, it's in-game

Hahaha, i wish man. But nah, like Teardrop said, its in-game. The dark grey suits that they wore in some scenes from Ghostbusters II.

Terminal Reality hopes other developers ain't afraid of licensing the studio's Infernal Engine to use on future projects. In fact, the Ghostbusters dev's VP of sales and marketing, Joe Kreiner, tells GI.biz that his goal is to secure "at least another half a dozen to a dozen within the next year, at minimum." An attainable goal, according to Kreiner, which if achieved would put the number of customers in Terminal Reality's containment unit somewhere in the neighborhood of twelve since the middleware first opened up to developers in February.

Rather than a short-term solution, Kreiner further notes that the Infernal Engine was designed to work across multiple CPUs and SPUs, something the marketing chief believes "future-proofs" the tech for use on later console platforms down the line. In the short term, however, he adds that Ghostbusters shows off the engine "really well." Hopefully other studios will come calling now that the game's publisher merry-go-round has (hopefully) stopped ahead of the title's anticipated June launch.

Seems like a good engine to me. Might be neat to see how other developers will incorporate it

I was doing some animation/commercial research for a class of mine, and I came across this old commercial on YouTube, enjoy fellow fans.

I was debating on it. I haven't bought any movies on Blu, yet. The only one I have is Spider-Man 3 that came with my PS3. These might very well be my first Blu purchases

 

[ProjectPat2280]

These sound unbelievably awesome. I'm already pumped to try to get "Employee of the Month." Each reference is just one hundred grand though. I cant wait for this to come out . Less than a month right? The "Overachiever" perk has got to be a whole-team effort right? One person in multiplayer doing all that?

Nice.

The night the game comes out, im gonna try and organize a SuperHeroHype multiplayer match through Live, that way everyone can be sure that the story wont be spoiled. Im dying to try the MP, i just dont want anyone to spoil the story for me so im gonna try and avoid playing with random ppl until i finish the single player.

I need to get your tag for that one my dude. Let me know the specifics when the time comes, I want to be a part of this.

I'm going to assume that's an accumulative achievement/trophy

Deff. The morning of June 16th ill make a post detailing what time we can try to meet up. If there are more than 3 ppl that want to play, maybe we can all just party up or something that way we can all be in one big party talking about the awesomeness that is Ghostbusters.
