Wow! That first screenshot has kind of a Diablo III feel to it.
That second shot has kind of a Grand Theft Auto feel to it, which I can only describe as Classic Win.
“Promised are gigantic bosses that require teamwork and the entirety of the ghostbusting arsenal: the proton stream, plasma inductor and the fermion shock.”Fermion shock??
Plasma inductor??
"Players take the role of the rookie, hired by the original ghostbusters in 2009's Ghostbusters: The Video Game"Sounds like it takes place in the same canon as GB:TVG but afterwards.
This is kind of bittersweet news for me, as I was sort of hoping for a sequel to GB:TVG from Terminal Reality done in third person. I figured this was a given if/when GB3 gets an official announcement.
“Players do get a perk in that, for the first time, they get to drive one of the Ghostbuster mobiles, the Ecto-3.”
Sounds great. How about the Ecto-1, you know, for a laugh?
“being developed by Wanako.”
If anyone wants to check them out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanako_Studios“The four-player adventure game – playable locally or online…” I'm not so sure about this. I don't like developers forcing me to wait around for other players to join my game before I start. Hopefully you'll have the option to go ahead and have players join you in progress a la GB:TVG. Or have the other players controlled by the CPU…
EDIT: Studying those two screencaps closely, it looks as though they've used source material from GB:TVG to make this. The cars on the street look identical, and the graveyard level looks surprisingly familiar…
Does anyone see this game announcement as another clue towards a GB3 release/reality?
