Atari has confirmed that it has bought the rights to the Ghostbusters game and that it'll be coming out next year.

Now, all that needs to happen is Atari to release a good game (Recently).

Please let it be Ghostbusters.

Gunsmith · 7th Nov 2008, 13:01

why do i get the feeling it'll be more aimed at people who dont remember ghostbusters?

Can't believe i'm the first to say this here but....

DougEdey · 7th Nov 2008, 13:02

Nah, look at Kotaku they got some early code and it sounds superb!

Venkman: "Yes, it's true: this man has no dick."

Is there any info out on the gameplay? The NES games were fun.

Evildead666 · 7th Nov 2008, 15:43

I remember seeing this at the flicks when it came out lol....

Are Harold Ramis et al still helping out tho ?

Jordan Wise · 7th Nov 2008, 16:11

Okay, who brought the dog?

UncertainGod · 7th Nov 2008, 17:42

I'm glad Atari picked it up, the few gameplay videos I saw earlier on in the year looked quite good.

HourBeforeDawn · 7th Nov 2008, 19:24

omg I love the GB and grew up watching them, soooo going to get this game. I just hope it doesnt suck like when they were trying to get the hype of GB back up and made Ghost Busters Xtreme animated series, I mean it was neat but just lacked that real Ghost Buster feel. ^__^

itazura · 7th Nov 2008, 19:26

i'm really hoping this turns out good. the early shots and video looked interesting.

i hope they don't mess it up.

Cthippo · 7th Nov 2008, 23:55

Here's hoping it's indeed good!

mauvecloud · 8th Nov 2008, 02:20

I have actually played the Ghostbusters game that came out for the Apple II in 1984. I wonder how this one will compare.

johnnyboy700 · 9th Nov 2008, 21:38

I remember playing it on the Speccy waaaay back, allowing for system limitations it was a lot of fun. A modern version should be brilliant - can you imagine how much fun co-op would be?
