Stupendous news has reached my ability to comprehend awesomeness; Ghostbusters 3 is happening at last, with Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis producing and featuring the voices of all the original Ghostbusters. But rather than coming to a screen near you, the jump-suited New Yorkers will be arriving at a living room near you… Or, indeed, in your living room. Or wherever you keep your Xbox 360/Playstation 3, for the next Ghostbuster outing will be a videogame.
Ghostbusters 3 is being produced by Vivendi Games and the story is being written by Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis. The game will follow on from Ghostbusters 2 and will be set in Manhattan in the early 90s. Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson will all supply voices aswell as William Atherton, Brian Doyle Murray and Annie Potts. No word on Rick Moranis’ voice yet, but he is featured in the demo footage below.
Variety are reporting that developer Terminal Reality is making a “Ghostbusters” game for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 aimed primarily at the core gamer demographic, while Red Fly Studio is making a version for Playstation 2, Wii and DS designed more for families and casual gamers.
Check out the footage and screenshots below, courtesy of /Film. The game, quite simply, looks stunning and with the creative tour de force of Ackroyd and Ramis behind it, they’ll just have to get the gameplay right and we’ll be looking at one incredible gaming experience.
