ok so read the whole thing,

With GB:TVG being made we were told that this was essentially the THIRD MOVIE right? so what happens if a Ghostbsuters 3 MOVIE is made? do we count GB:TVG as 3 then the new movie as 4? do we ignore GB:TVG as just a game and the new movie is considerd 3? Im curious to what you guys think about this?

cause as of right now there is NO movie and there IS a video game.

My reckoning is that Dan said consider the game the third movie because at the time it looked like a third movie would never been green lighted so the game would be as good as another movie.

Now that GB3 is likely I think that it will be obviously the real GB3. The game will probably be considered canon but I somehow doubt the events in the game will get more than a passing mention in the third movie.

The game will be in-continuity, it just won't be called “Ghostbusters III.” Which it isn't, anyway.

So yes, GB 2.5

Just think of this as the third story and GB3 as the fourth. Supposedly the writers have access to the game and are drawing from it, possibly even using unused ideas in the script.

I think it would be kind of like how Shadows of the Empire was treated in Star Wars when it came out as a game, kind of a bridge between two movies. With the game poised to make so much revenue I would think they would have to give some kind of nod or mention of events in the third game so that people don't get too confused. Then again you would have questions as to what happened to the Rookie if he isn't in the movie, and what happened to the upgraded proton packs. I guess if there are no mentions, it could just be written off as a alternate universe story like RGB, EGB, The Return, and the Comics.

you just have to figure since the script for this game is sooooo big and complex that you almost have to consider it a big part on its own.

I'm pretty sure if a third movie is made that there would be reference to the game, how could there not be? Seems like the events in the game are a HUGE deal in the lore.

especially since the game resurrected the franchise.
