On the off chance that our man on the inside can continue reading, despite being tethered by the unalterable shackles of the NDA, I'd like to give him a pat on the back for all that has been done so far.
As a suggestion, if i may be so bold, may i refer to an existing game? Predator: Concrete Jungle was pretty much an average fella really, but what i will say for it was the attention to detail of the central character and particularly his unlockable power ups. What i'mgetting at here is how awesome it would be, in my opinion, to have unlockable kit from the films AND the side media. e.g. an upgrade to the containment unit of the cartoons, slime blowers, upgradeable roof stuff for the ecto 1, etc. Totally pie in the sky now, but unlockable real ghostbusters and extreme ghostbusters packs and traps could tip this over into themost essential GB fan purchase ever. Probably i'm thinking mainly as easter egg stuff - who didn't love the death star hangar disco in Rebel Assault?
But yes, sterling work so far - it looks like you're doing us proud.
Now to random praise. How amazing does the ahab like ghost, still attached to his great white nemesis, look? So in the spirit of the movies it made me do a little yelp.
Finally, hats off to Game Informer for running with just the logo for the cover. Back reference to the original movie teaser campaign or not, it's a lovely touch!

WOW! According to the game informer magazine, Walter Peck is back!
Variety confirmed that two days ago - beat GI to the punch a little (they also got the screenshots out first). That's got hurt.
And just because I'll train you guys to check PC if I kills me;

K Guys as promised , NEW STUFF
This is the full interview from game informer
We spoke with original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd on his role as writer and actor in the upcoming Ghostbusters game.
Game Informer: How does it feel to come back to the Ghostbuster universe after all this time? Do you still get a lot of people coming up to you on the street asking about another movie?
Dan Aykroyd: Well, practically and realistically, IÂve been telling people itÂs very doubtful that thereÂs going to be a third movie. But now that IÂve seen the work on the video game, IÂve watched it progress, my rap now to people is, ÂThis is essentially the third movie. And itÂs better than the third movie because it lasts longer, thereÂs more development of the characters, thereÂs more of a need for story layers. The guys have done a great job putting story layers in there that I can begin to embellish and work with. And I tell people this: ÂIf you have an appetite for the third movie, then the video game is it. And I really do believe that at this point, from having seen what theyÂve done there.
Naturally, IÂve never been distant from the concept because people ask me all of the time about it. People bring me the reissued GB 1 and 2 on the disc to sign when IÂm doing other business ventures. They always bring me Ghostbusters stuff. SomebodyÂs always telling me that their kid is into it now and these are kids now 3, 4, 5 years old. A whole new generation is discovering it. ItÂs not like I ever sort of put it in my past and locked the vault and walked away. ItÂs always there as an active part of my creative life.
GI: You and Harold Ramis wrote the first two movie scripts together, and I imagine itÂs quite exciting to work with him on this new game script.
Aykroyd: Yes, heÂs by far my favorite collaborator. HeÂs very intelligent, and, of course, does not believe in ghosts or the paranormal or supernatural in any way, shape or form. So itÂs fun to work with him because heÂs a complete skeptic. I am a believer and he is a skeptic, so the two of us make a great team.
GI: What was it about the game that got you interested?
Aykroyd: Well, it was just the idea of having a game based upon the characters and the premise. And then when we started to see the first renderings of how they were going to do it, what excited me was the look directly references the first movie. WeÂre going back to a look that people know, the familiarity of the characters in terms of the way they behave and the way they look and the way they talk and the adversaries, because I think the first movie was really the best in the form and to have it depicted and not trying something new is the proper way to go. It almost has a classic kind of feel to it, which really works in terms of an animated and computer-generated piece of entertainment. Some of the games today are almost too, you know, thereÂs no sort of sense of real characters in them. ItÂs almost too processed. I donÂt know. Too computerized. These figures they walk and talk like real people. I think people are going to respond to it.
GI: You mentioned earlier that Harold is the skeptic and youÂre the believer. Can you talk about your interest in the paranormal?
Aykroyd: Yeah, it goes back to my great grandfather Sam Aykroyd, he was a dentist in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. And he, like many at that time, was interested in psychic research. Oliver Lodge, the great physicist and scientist, Arthur Conan DoyleÂthere were many physicians and scientists who were trying to figure out whatÂs happening here in terms of the survival hypothesis.
Ghost stories and stories of people channeling entities from the other side, people generating ectoplasm, levitating, speaking in trans-medium voices that seem to speak from the other side or the beyond. This intrigued scientists, physicians and researchers at the turn of the century, and there was a very strong movement called spiritualism, which today survives in many senses.
WeÂve got John Edwards on television, this new girl Lisa Williams. Check out your networks today. I think five shows deal with seeing ghosts, dealing with ghosts, and underwriting and underlying the concept that we do survive after death. This was a quest that my great grandfather was not alone in, and all of the journals from the British Society for Psychical Research and the American counterpart, the American Society for Psychical Research, which has probably the most extensive library on the paranormal and the supernatural in the world. TheyÂre in New York on West 77th street. Just magazines and stuff that my father had around the house. I grew up with this kind of stuff.
Hearing about the séances that went on in the old farm house in the time of my grandfather, who was the son of Sam Aykroyd, and my dad, who was my grandfatherÂs son. It goes really to four generations of Aykroyds interested in this. And I read an article in the ASPR about quantum physics and parapsychology and Âding, thatÂs when it hit me. ÂWouldnÂt it be great to do an old-style ghost comedy? But treat it in a way that serious researchers are treating the material today.
You know, Duke University had a paranormal program for the longest time, and in Brooklyn there was something called the Maimonides Dream Lab, and they were doing some really exciting research. I donÂt think thereÂs a paranormal division in a university today in America.
GI: That sounds kind of like Raymond Stanz. Are you excited to get back into the character of Ray? Will it be strange doing it in a voiceover studio rather than running around with a proton pack?
Aykroyd: ItÂs going to be fun. It is, as you say, thereÂs a genuine enthusiasm that I feel personally and that I did infuse in the character. ItÂs going to be great to go back and do that. IÂm quite excited about it because the Ray character is a little bit over the top almost. Very enthusiastic, very vocal, almost sort of adolescent or childlike in the pursuit of all this stuff, and itÂs going to be great to be able to play that again. Not to worry too much about constraining the character. ItÂs not a constrained character. ItÂs the kind of character that will be able to shout and scream. So thatÂs one of the elements IÂm very excited about is participating firsthand again and getting to do that enthusiastic and unbridled character again.
GI: Speaking of voiceovers, we understand that the team is trying to round up the principle cast members from the original movies. Are you interested in the possibility of getting the team back together?
Aykroyd: I am. I hope weÂll be able to work together and do some group work in the studio. IÂll probably end up working with Harold and maybe Annie Potts and Bill Atherton. I donÂt know whether IÂll do my sessions with Murray or heÂll do them with me. That would be the dream, because weÂd get to go back to something that we both enjoyed working on in its original sense. And hopefully Harold and I will be strong on it and be able to share the studio together. Obviously, thatÂs more exciting and will probably produce better quality if you have another actor there to play off than just being alone with the director. But IÂll do the job however they present it to me, and itÂs going to be great.
GI: Kind of going back to the writing side, how is it different writing for an interactive medium like video games versus writing for a movie?
Aykroyd: Certainly the volume aspect is one thatÂs daunting. WeÂve got to come up with perhaps a little more variety in terms of expression and more volume in terms of dialogue. You know, a movie is only an hour and a half, whereas video play gets into the 10-hour stretches. So we probably are going to be retooling some terms, reinventing some terms, maybe originating new ideas, new concepts, new terms to address the aspect of the scientific research and the discipline, and then also the reactions to the various threats that weÂre seeing.
WeÂre going to be definitely marching over new territory here, and the differences are quite obvious because of the time involved in the play and the screenplay or the play in the game. ThereÂs a significant difference there because of the volume and the time that will impact how we approach the writing. And itÂs going to be challenging, but itÂs all going to be fun. Make up new words, new ideas, new concepts, new screams, new moans, new yells, new attitudes, some crankiness, some fear, some tenderness, some abject panic, hysteria. And HaroldÂs sort of rational personality coming through. ItÂll be a nice blend of work again.
GI: With the game being set in 1991 (two years after Ghostbusters 2), how did you decide on this time period and where do you think the characters are at this point?
Aykroyd: It was obvious if we are going with the premise that this is the third story that it would have to advance in time somewhat. And I think the characters run a more successful business, itÂs accepted as matter of fact in the world that this is a company that exists and you call when thereÂs trouble from the paranormal, supernatural realm. Just the fact that itÂs an accepted part of American life I think is a great element in the premise.
Just the idea that these characters are now older, more experienced, perhaps a little more jaded, more tough, with maybe not as compassionate a view of the spirits that they used to have because these spirits come in and crash into our dimension. TheyÂre a pestilence. You have to balance the extermination view with the compassion view so that will be a whole attitude that wasnÂt there in the first two movies. We donÂt want to treat them mean, but we want to get rid of them because weÂve got clients who canÂt have them around. ItÂs really that difference between elimination and understanding of the departed soul. I think thatÂll play in the writing and the performance and the attitude and the tone of the third piece.
GI: Is it strange seeing a version of yourself 20 years ago running around in the game?
Aykroyd: I like that because they were able to lose all of the weight I havenÂt been able to in the video game. I think, again, itÂs what people remember. ItÂs what people are watching today, that first and second movie. So itÂs better that we hearken back to those original characters than try to depict the way Harold and I look today or the way we are today. ItÂs almost a suspended moment in time, and I think the audiences will relate totally to the characters as they play because theyÂre familiar with them in the form that they were seeing in the first two movies.
GI: There have been a few Ghostbusters games in the past. Did you have the chance to play them when they came out and what did you think of them?
Aykroyd: Yeah, they were done on more primitive platforms than are available today in more primitive formats. Obviously, youÂve seen what these guys are doing here. This takes it right into the 21st century of video-game technology and the concept of having an adult format and an adolescent format playing across all platforms really I donÂt think it could have come out maybe four or five years ago. And just the sophistication of the platforms, the uniformity almost that you can have a game that plays on all three, the Xbox, the PlayStation and the Wii. When the Genesis game came out, that option wasnÂt there. And these other games arenÂt as sharp-lookingÂtheyÂre pretty primitive if you look at them.
GI: Do you play many video games these days?
Aykroyd: I play with younger people usually. ItÂs not something I sit down and do myself at this stage. Of course, IÂve played the Dungeons & Dragons, and House of the Dead, and IÂm excited about sitting down to play some Halo because this is really, again, new cutting-edge technology, great story writing and great gameplay. That seems to have caught on fire around the world, and IÂd like to familiarize myself with thatÂplaying with a younger, more agile, expert player who can teach me some things.
GI: Outside of this Ghostbusters project what other creative endeavors can we look forward to?
Aykroyd: WeÂre developing House of Blues out to more North American cities and then taking it around the world. So IÂll be spending time basically opening them and doing publicity at the time of the opening. Doing pre-construction launch publicity, then investor relations and partnership relations, and after the places are built IÂll come publicize them and bring my band to play.
The other component of my life includes music and thatÂs with Jim Belushi, the blood brother of Jake Blues. We have an act called the Blues Brothers Formal Classic Review and we do great songs and have wonderful musicians and we play casinos and private events and some charity events occasionally. We have quite a busy concert schedule coming up.

Yea, the article mentioned that they had sound alikes record some of the lines for the demos. It doesn't sound exactly like Harold to me, but its probably a sound alike.
Also to note, sounded like he was saying “Johnson!” as if the recruit's last name was Johnson. Wonder if you'll get to spell out your last name phonetically if you do in fact get to create your character, so that way you can actually hear the guys calling you by your own name.

My thoughts on the Wii version (I wanted to post it here, since the powers that be are reading).
Obviously, the Wiimote is the proton pack. but I hope you can “throw” the traps and activate them via the nunchuk similar to the shield bash in Zelda: Twilight Princess. Seriously, is this not a given?
I hope they utilize the Wii Zapper option as well for a better “feel” with controls, and I hope this is Wi-Fi co-op. I want to ‘bust with my friends. Multi-player team ghost hunts!
I saw the Game Informer article, and don’t know if I'm too crazy about the simplified art style. It just bugs me that since the Wii isn't the graphics powerhouse as a 360 or PS3, it seems like developers don't try as to put as much detail into the Wii's graphics, which is frustrating/annoying. I mean, it's better than a PS2 or Xbox, and anyone who has seen Metroid Prime 3 or Mario Galaxy can tell that the system can make credible, comparable graphic experiences. While both are Nintendo, there's been some solid 3rd party efforts as well.
I'd much rather see the art style of the PS3/360 version, but just make the graphics tweaks where necessary to compensate. Don't make them flat, plain textures or overly simplified character models. The 20-30 year old gamers are going to be the ones going crazy over this title. Don't forget that. I don't want a party/mini-game collection.
We've waited this long for a Ghostbusters game. There's no marketing push/tie-in to sabotage it like Spider-Man 3. Take your time, and make this awesome.
(I may get the Wii and 360 version before it's all over, as it stands, but don't skimp on the Wii, which potentially could have the best control set-up.)

From my understanding the Wii version was designed to be played by ‘more casual players’ and families.

Just like most of Wii games, unfortunately… :@
