I don't get it. I haven't played the game..but how is it that if this game is 2 years after the second movie they have the Marshmallow man? And the hotel from the first movie? What are the chances that the stuff that happened in the first movie will happen again? I doubt that the Marshmallow man will again climb the building..you know what I mean? why didn't they just do a game based on the first movie? How can you have the same stuff that happened in the first movie happen all over again and look the same. Takes the fun out of a new storyline doesn't it?:-(

Discuss.

They have brought in those levels that players also could relive some classic scene's from the first movie in a little bit different way. I think we should not forget that games are also a bit different media then movies.

I can't wait to play this game.

best regards,

Robert

I understand that robert. But in the storyline, what do you think the chances are again of the stay puft coming back to life again and Vigo or Gozer. Etc. That's in the past storyline isn't it? so how is it that 15 years later or whatever, you have the same situations happening and slimer looking the same and so on?

They've said many times that they've incorporated these things into the story pretty well, that said, how many of us would have forgiven them if they didn't include some of these big ticket moments from the films?

Also, it stands to reason that Slimer would look the same. Ghosts don't age. I know this guy -he's a dead guy- and he doesn't age, he just grows ever more annoying as the years pass.

Ok, But how do you explain the library looking the same..the hotel looking the same….All the same locations..I think they got lazy with the story, just wanted to put in some stuff from the first movie in to a new story and get away with it.

It stands to reason that events that have happened before shouldn't happen again right? or am I being a total ***hole for bringing it up? (*egon)

Not everything looks exactly the same. Some things have changed over the years. But think about it: How much does any building change in 7 years? Not that much. Further, the return of these characters are explained in the story. I have an early copy of the game and am starting to see where they are going with it - it makes sense. You'll just have to play the game and see for yourself.

ugh……… This discussion makes my brain hurt from the exposure of ignorance.(*rant) IT'S A GAME. Have you played this game to the end? Do you know all the facts? Is your mind open to the thought that maybe games based on movies don't always pan into legendary iconic masterpeices? This game is going to have flaws. Harold Ramis and Dan Akroid wrote the story for this game. Nuff said.

The very question you ask is the same question Ray and the others ask.

You know “We got him before, why is he back?” It not only fills a nostalgia reason, but also ghost tend to hold grudges…especially the godlike monsters….so I wouldn't be surprised if Gozer wanted a second shot to destroy the world….or maybe Gozer has another purpose.

You'll have to play the game to find out. It is more than just nostalgia, but it's not due to laziness. What better way to kick off Ghostbusters than to fight the baddie laddies from the films just to start it off?

You think you go in for a normal bust, but then boom….something much bigger happens.

Also remember that Slimer and the rest were released when the containment unit was turned off and exploded…so no doubt all the ghost they caught before they must catch again. Okay, well Slimer gets released this time by a shock wave, but still.

As for some of the landmarks looking the same….well the actual buildings used STILL look the same today and it's been 25 years. The hotel, the library…I doubt they would change much in 2 years.

First of all because it's not 15 years later. Its only a couple of years later. The year is 1991. You're dealing with the same arch nemesis. The story was written as an arc to fit together as a trilogy fighting the same nemesis. Supposedly this story is going to lead to the final conclusion.
