Looks fun. I remember I bought the original from Amazon and couldn't get it to run in Windows 10. Now I have a shot to play this.

So I assume the Xbox BC version is about to be delisted?

Not sure if I’ll get this right away since the BC version runs well enough. Maybe on a sale.

Do they do that?
That sucks.

Kinda wish it also included the Wii version since that had splitscreen co-op & option to play a female ghostbuster.

Nice OT, appreciate the reminder. I fucking loved this game when it first came out, will be buying this again.

No PC version?

Edit: Oh, it's an Epic game. Well, I guess they finally get some money out of me.

It happens on Steam and GoG too. New version of a game comes out, the old version gets delisted. You should still be able to play your older original copy though.

Worst case was Square Enix removing The Last Remnant from Steam because they were releasing a remaster on PS4, it never got a PC version.
 
I have the original on PC (steam) that you can't get anymore. Will this update version be on PC eventually?

edit: oh this was released on the tencnet spy store, I guess I need to wait longer or forget it.

I played this back when it released on PC (when was that again?) and remember it being a good game, but a bit on the short side. It's been so long since I played it though that I don't really remember it (I smoked a lot of weed back then) and pre-ordered the PS4 version to play through again and be reminded.

One thing I do remember is that they said this was supposed to be considered as close to Ghostbusters 3 as we were going to get. I guess at that time, they never intended to make another GB movie. How times have changed.....

Looks like my copy is ready for dispatch. 😁
Wonder how it holds up, been a while since I played it last.

Release is Friday, looking forward to it. Have we heard anything specific about platform differences yet, as in pro vs PS4 and X versus S? Surely this will be 4k 60 or 4k 30 at the very least.

Loved the original even if it was a bit bland in spots.

I really enjoyed this game, probably the best Ghostbusters one I've played. It won't be a day 1 purchase, but will definitely land on my PS4 wishlist. :)

Was a damn good Ghostbusters game at the time, but i've waited this long to play it again, might aswell wait another year for it to come to Steam.

Tried it on the 360 back then but wasn't impressed with the performance. I hope now we get 60fps. Amazon will be sending mine next week.

So no multiplayer then?
Multiplayer is being "rebuilt from the ground up" and will be released post-launch as a free update.

I was affected by the MP glitch on PS3 that rendered the game impossible to Platinum but I'd love to complete the MP this time.

really great game. i remember being so disappointed with the Atari 2600 Ghostbusters game when that came out and by the time i played this, i was like, "Finally, this is that dream game i imagined decades ago".

i never really got a "this is a third movie" vibes from it though, it felt more like a "reboot" since so much is lifted directly from the first film. still if you're going to make a GB game you can ask for worse places to lift from...

Fuck that golden slimer glitch from the original releases multiplayer where it would never spawn. :messenger_pouting:
Purely based on the memory of that alone, I'm glad there isn't multiplayer.

Unrelated but I wish Ghost Hunter would get a remaster or something. That filled the void of never having a good GB game for so long. A forgotten underrated gem. Loved it.

Ah good. I loved mp in the original release. It wasn’t anything ground breaking but catching ghosts with friends was very cool. Beam type swapping, co-ordinated trap wrangling and of course throwing tired quote after quote at each other as we played was old man nerd nirvana.

Glitches need fixed for sure. I bought the special edition with the GB2 suit and it was glitched from day one with the GB1 arm patch logo over the top of the GB2 one.

Fantastic game though. I love the storyline and how It links the first two movies and creates a grander universe. I’ve always said they should strip out the voice work and make an actual 3rd movie out of the game as either a Pixar style or full animated film with the lines.

The physical version is exclusive to gamestop in the US.
But it is available everywhere in the UK and I'm guessing EU too

I got the glitch where playing the MP in the first month made it impossible to unlock Payday, Employee Of The Month, and Ghostbuster Of The Year

From what I've played, this is a straight port.
Cutscenes are a mix bag, theres FMV and Real-time Cutscenes which are great, and then there is Real-time Video that mask loading which don't look good.
Still the game is fun and has that Ghostbusters Charm, I'm not too sure why people said this was like a 3rd movie, seem more CG version of The Real Ghostbusters with the Real Ghostbusters lol.

Remember the Digital Foundry shit storm that happened when they compared the PS3 and Xbox versions back in the day? :messenger_tears_of_joy:
