There's a couple of years between the second film and the game, so, since he was in the containment unit, he was apparently caught between the time the game takes place and after he got his bus driver's liscense.

LOL “after he got his bus driver's liscense”

Yeah that does seem likely , Oh well at least we can be :-) in the Wii version and Hopefully my favourite (^_^) is in the game , not playable I know but i'm not sure if he is in the Wii one or just 360/ps3 as they haven't shown many wii pictures

You may have noticed I have been away for a bit, but that doesn't mean I haven't been keeping up with the GB news….Throughout a couple of years I have heard rumors about a video game, and now knowing it's going to come out next fall, just got me so excited and happy that the Ghostbusters franchise is not totally down the drain. I seriously can't wait until next fall!!

I'm not sure if anyone else has commented about this, but I don't have time to go through a thread that's over 30 pages long right now, so here goes:
While I'm very glad that Ghostbusters is finally back in focus, I'm somewhat disappointed the game will follow the continuity of the movies and not the animated series. Which means Slimer won't be any major character, but instead a random villain ghost, Janine will be in love with Louis and not Egon and there won't be any chance of seign appearances by monsters like Sam Hain, The Boogeyman, The Grundel, Peoplebusters or any other bad guys from the cartoons.
While I do indeed love the movies very much, it is the animated Ghostbusters universe that I grew up with and like the most.
Just my thoughts. This however does not mean I will avoid the game, I will most probably check it out.

The animated series is like the buzzing of flies when compared to the greatness of the live action films.

The animated series has got some real classic episodes, but I am way more dedicated to the movies than I am of the animated series.

I would much prefer if they do a seperate game based on the animated series after they release the current games to the mass sales they will incur when released.

Actually, I myself wouldn't be surprised if Janine focuses more on Egon, especially if Rick doesn't reprise the role.

I love The Real Ghostbusters, but a game version of the cartoon probably wouldn't have the same sort of mass appeal than a game version of the films which not only is being billed as the next installment of the film series but also has the grab factor of having gotten the four original Ghostbusters. Having the RGB cast wouldn't be the same as it'd just be a case of hiring on a bunch of voice actors…

Plus it'd just be a continuation of the executive meddling to keep Slimer as a main character, he was perfectly fine as a background character in the early episodes of the show but never should have gotten so much prominence.

As for Janine and Louis, given the fact Rick Moranis isn't signed on, the character won't likely appear so her relationship with Egon may be back in motion… and whilst Samhain, the Boogieman, the Grundle and the Peoplebusters worked great in a cartoon… they probably would seem too cartoony in something based on the movie.

Sometimes the cartoon and the movie have to be shown as separate entites as much as they are shown to be one and the same… some things will work in one visualisation of Ghostbusters but not in another whilst some elements are universal.

the peoplebusters should be skins you could unlock for your char, that would be awsome. as a matter of act id like to play as a min staypuft bustin other ghosts.
