And That Ghostbuster Is You!
Wii
Xbox 360
The Wii version (graphically) actually looks fine. Why? Because it's got a different art style and direction than the Xbox 360 one. It's not like it's carbon copying the models from that console and just dumbing it down 5 times more than needed, they look like two different games if you know what I mean.
"Why do people keep shafting teh PS3 version? I wanna know if its good too? "
How different do you expect it to be from the 360 version? Typically the 360 and PS3 versions of games are pretty much identical, I don;t know why people get pissy when only one version is talked about.
Looking good.
I just went ahead and created a page for Vigo. Because everyone loves Ghostbusters II, right? Right?
Uhh... Sure? I haven't seen Ghostbusters in a long time, so I really don't remember that much about it. I really need to see that movie again.
I haven't seen the movie since the theaters to be honest, and I don't think I've ever seen the second one. But I've been more or less interested in this game since I saw just one screenshot from the 360 version months ago. It just looked stunning, from what I could gather from a static image. The Wii version sounds interesting too, but I only have a 360.
And this isn't really a movie-to-game translation is it? I mean from what I hear, it's an original story...there hasn't been a movie in over a decade, so it doesn't seem likely that it would follow either movie too closely. Sure, it's safe to assume that when the next Transformers movie comes out, there will be a game released on every console that will be mediocre at best...but the Ghostbusters game isn't that sorta deal.
Garnett from 1up seemed to like the wii version quite a bit, hopefully this game will do the franchise justice.
Are the Ray Parker Jr. and Bobby Brown songs in the game?
And, Ryan, you didn't answer the one big question on everybody's mind...How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately?
"Who is sbritton? A new staff member?"I think he's one of the guys who work behind the scenes. Probably a site developer, judging by the emblem on his GameSpot profile.
I've noticed that sometimes they will post news articles on the behalf of another staffer.
With stuff like this i always get the feeling that everyone is going to be let down. I really hope we dont.
So by having "key elements [...] such as plotting, voice-acting, and so on" does that mean the story in the game is the same? I was kind of hyped by the Wii version but if you're playing the same game but with different graphics and controls I think I might pass. I thought the two versions were two completely different games but this post makes me think different. Anyone else bummed by this possibility?
