It's close enough I say.

Like Kingpin said, they can only get so close before complications get in the way. If we get
too worried about things they can't help, then we will never be satisfied.

I kind of wish people would stop noticing the little details because they don;t look EXACTLY like that they see in the movies.

I am lucky just to get this game in the first place.

Well I am lucky I am alive, the original actors are still alive, and I am able to buy the game and have a 360 in the first place to actually play it.

I also lucky that Sony decided to share the IP with Microsoft and the Wii. I am lucky that Skankerzero is here to give us some good facts…and I am lucky and happy that I got to find this site.

So yeah

Half of everything is luck.

Thats a nice way to look at things !

To be completely honest i dont really care about inacuracies im just looking forward to having a whole new Ghostbusters experience outside of the first 2 movies.
And im really pleased that the team that got to create it are so dedicated to delivering a game thats as authentic as possible.

Also have to remember that this stuff is still in “Beta” or was with footage, who's to say it's the finalized models? They tend to render that last after gaining so much progression. Just looking at it in that point of view.

I look at it as a unintended homage to RGB.

as it happened frequently in the show.

This guy REALLY knows what he's talking about.


Think about Star Fox 2 for the SNES, production was dropped around 2 months before release(for unkown reasons) and that girl was a unplayable mess.

A rom made it to the internet(word is: some punk stole a cartridge from a showing of the game.) and then a group of devoted fans brought it in and spent months patching it and fixing most (if not all) of the bugs in the game and re-released it onto the internet.



So in short: It's best to wait and see for games, releaseing early can REALLY screw you over.

Pretty much this, and the streams look fine to me.

The proton beam is the single most expensive effect we have in game.

I remember several of our best programmers spent a good while trying to get it to act right.

In the end, it's just difficult to get something to act like a painted effect.

i understand that, the streams are actually working to the effects of the physics engine. so they behave differently than a painted effect. i think they look pretty good!
