After a long time in “limbo” Ghostbusters: The Video Game was finally picked up by publisher Atari and they are beginning their ad campaign now with a new trailer and a new site that will be launching any day now. The new trailer features our first looks at Peter Venkman and Walter Peck, both of which look amazing. The trailer is all cut-scenes but it has a good feel of a movie about it. I feel that the cinematic approach is best suited for Ghostbusters because of the game’s nature as, essentially, the third film.
The trailer shows off some very impressive character modeling and it is obvious that tons of effort was put into the development of the character models, which helps bring the authenticity to the game. I would prefer good character models and decent environments to the opposite because the actors were such a key part of the original movies. The emphasis on them is well placed, but that does not mean that they have forgotten the environments and the ghosts. There are some impressive visuals in the trailer as well, the ghosts are colorful and have a nice hue about them. The opening shot of the New York City skyline was so good I almost thought it was a scene from a live action movie and not a computer generated image.
The game looks very promising and I just cannot stand the wait. It will be out in June 2009, with a hinted at demo possibly coming out soon but that is completely rumor for now. Hopefully with the launch of the site we will be treated to even more GB goodness. But for now you can see the new trailer in all its HD glory at Gametrailers.com.
