Ghostbusters: The Video Game Update

As you all know I am anxiously awaiting the release of Ghostbusters: The Video Game on June 16th and since I wrote up my preview of the Ghostbusters game a lot has changed so I figured I would post a status update to keep you all up to speed. A few new pieces of media and some new interviews have surfaced that delve deeper into the multiplayer details and some new stuff about the story.
Just a few days ago Atari released a teaser trailer where they revealed that Alyssa Milano would be the female lead and the new love interest for Venkman. Milano plays Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn, the guest curator of the museum’s “World of Gozer” exhibit. The trailer can be found at gametrailers.com in HD, there are some behind the scenes shots and some new cinematics so check that out when you get the chance. Here’s the link

Another new development are some “leaked” videos that have showed up on Game Cinema HD , the first is about a 2 ½ minute compilation of gameplay and cutscenes, most of which are new, set to Ray Parker Jr’s “Ghostbusters.” The second video is part of the training level of the game where the rookie is taught how to catch slimer by Peter Venkman himself. Both videos can be found at this link

If that’s not enough there are a few new interviews that have some great footage of the multiplayer and some more information about the development of the game.
This first video has a lot of footage of multiplayer (it starts out in Dutch but the interview is in English) including a look at some pink “mood slime” from the second movie.

This second video has an interview with Brendan Goss and Drew Haworth talking about multiplayer, possible downloadable content, and it features a very brief shot of the interior of the firehouse.

There is also a new interview with Brendan Goss and Drew Haworth done at the Game Developer’s Conference.

As the game draws closer to release I’m sure we will learn more but hopefully not too much, I don’t want the story to be spoiled before I play it. Check back for more video game news and a new review I will be posting soon.
