Okay, I'm totally stoked about thisg game now. Didn't read the preview. Just looked at the pictures.

A few questions to Skank:

-Since this game is being released next fall, what stage is the game in? Pre alpha? Would that mean could expect the graphics to look better when the game goes gold?

-How important is animation and facial animation to your team? I think with a franchise like Ghostbusters, it would be VERY important to have the other guys flinch, jump, shake duck their heads or whatever when a ghost pops out of nowhere and they get scared. Also, facial animation. Same thing with the other guys. It would be nice to see their expressions to give us gamers a more surreal moment. The main character that we play should have a facial expression when he's shooting at ghosts, like clinching his teeth, face tightening up, etc.

So, PLEASE, Skank. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take body/facial animations to importance. Tell your boss that who's in charge of animation.

You wouldn't want lifeless looking characters who display no emotions during gameplay, right?

Upon reflection, choosing a name that shortens to ‘Skank’ may not have been the best of decisions. :p

Seriously though, I'm sure you guys will create a quality product. Are you free to talk about what other New York landmarks may appear in the game, or are they hush-hush as they tie into the main plot?

I am gonna love this. I really lke it that the boys in grey go back to the library and that Peck is back to destroy their business. The only thing I noticed in the article is that they do not mention peter venkman or winston. It looks like ray and egon are the guides that help you out. I do hope that the ray parker jr. ghostbusters theme will also be in it.

Anyway i can't wait until I have this game in my hands. I know what I want for christmas..an X box.

best regards,

Robert

I don't understand what it is. Anyone else been watching any tv shows or movies or listening to any music lately and noticing how great everything sounds/is? I honestly don't know what the feeling is, but I feel really good all of a sudden.

Seriously, in GB terms, its like the news was just a dousing of positively charged slime. Maybe I just forgot what it was like to feel good.

Heh, kind of feel like Bill Murray at the end of Scrooged.

I know what you mean, I think the game and what it promises has put the community into a good mood it's been lacking for some time.

And the goodies keep on coming…

We have gameplay video

(*_*)

Thanks to bluejoker at GBProps for finding that.

Lol, just beat me to it. It's awesome and its still so far away.

Notice how the hair, among other things, is different on the GB than in the GI screens? Eh? Eh?

Not a bad idea on the controls. You can see in the Stay Puft battle that the different buttons have different functions. So for the 360, A is the blast beam and X is the Contain beam. I'm sure everyone can figure out what that means.

I have been posting on GBHQ all of my thoughts (kinda), so for those of you who don't know me, I am the king of kings. No, that's a lie. Anyway.

I am excited for this. I like this idea! I'm glad to be a part of it

That is all, for now.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

My only complaint is the sound effects when you fire the wand doesn't really match the movie versions. Still sounds close, but other than that, FANTASTIC!

P.S. Please still respond to my questions, Skankerzero!
