Don’t Forget Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered October 4
You probably missed Ghostbusters: The Video Game when it initially saw release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Don’t skip out on it this time! The modern rerelease has been dated for October 4!
Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released in 2009. It featured a new plot that took place after Ghostbusters 1 and 2, based on a script written by Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, and had the entire original cast providing voices. It’s the closest we will ever get to an actual Ghostbusters 3, and the game itself wasn’t that bad either.
A sleeper when it was released, Ghostbusters: The Video Game now fetches high prices on eBay. The time is right for a re-release on modern consoles, we’d say. Good thing the current rights holders agree with us. Saber Interactive is bringing this sucker back!
As the new rookie on the Ghostbusters crew, you’ll team up with your favorite characters from the films, reunited by the voices of Aykroyd, Ramis, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson as Stantz, Spengler, Venkman and Zeddemore, alongside Annie Potts, Brian Doyle-Murray, William Atherton and Max von Sydow. Manhattan is overrun once more by ghosts, demons and other paranormal creatures unleashed by a mysterious force, and only the Ghostbusters can drive this evil back to whatever dimension it crawled from and save the Big Apple.
The new trailer below, called “Memories,” asks diehard Ghostbuster fans what they remember most about the game. Ghostbusters: The Video Game will be re-released on Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC, at a digital price of $29.99 (Epic Games Store claimed they were a god and got to list the game at $24.99.)
“Give me a physical copy!” you say….wish granted; you just have to hope Gamestop stays in business for two more months. Yes, they have an exclusive on physical editions of Ghostbusters….sorry ’bout that. The game comes back for a new round of busting October 4.
