Ghostbusters: Sanctum Of Slime Announced
The details given to USA Today are rather light. Boss battles, Ecto-3 driving, and proton packs have been confirmed, as well as online and local co-op. And it appears as if the original Ghostbusters cast won't be making an appearance in the game. At the very least, they won't be voicing their respective characters like they did in Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
That's it. That's all we know. You can check out another screen of the game, said to be early in development, over at the USA Today blog. Anyone else getting a hack-and-slash or dungeon-crawl sort of vibe from Sanctum of Slime?

" though its follow-up couldn't be less different from the original. "I don't know about that. Looks different to me.
Should have been a masocore 2D platformer though. We could use a few more of those.
This reminds me of that old Ghostbusters Arcade game that hardly anyone played. I remember liking it a lot at the time, so this intrigues me a bit.
I didn't mind the last Ghostbusters game that badly, even if the voice work and scripting was rather terrible.
In fact I'd be more than happy if they even just cut away that voice-over work completely for this, just so I don't have to listen to a half-hearted Bill Murray drudge through his lines over a phone or something.

For real, why don't they use that fat subscription money to pay someone to do these without all of the poor writing, late timing, and typos? I know they're still probably on shaky ground, but surely they can find someone better or more consistent than Brad, right? Like me, of course!
I couldn't finish the recent videogame, despite being a big fan of Ghostbusters. The gameplay was just so generic and uninspired.
This on the other hand looks like a lot of fun, and the top down perspective really worked for Tomb Raider.

"It took two hours since Brad II initially posted the story before it was publicly published on the site. I don't know what happened during those two hours, but it apparently wasn't copyediting.
" I've never understood the appeal of Ghostbusters as a video game. "After playing the first game, I'm right behind you.
