Got some MORE Ghostbusters news. Sure you can handle it. Vivendi have confirmed to Variety writer Ben Fritz that the games will feature both multiplayer and co-op. Co-op? Be still, my beating heart. Also, up *there*, you'll find a screenshot we managed to get hold of earlier today (click for a bigger version). It's picture tells a thousand words. Most of them being childish squeals. Now if you'll excuse us, we've got to go practice some official, canonical, co-op one-liners. Something about two in the box, and we being fast, or something.

OMG...
With just the one screenshot, I'm already sold on this game. I don't care how it controls.. anything that represents the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow man in such an awesome way is a "Must Buy" in my books.
@WGSXFrank: It's "Stay Puft" ...N00b!
Oh man, Geek dream realised. All I need now is a brown jumpsuit to wear while playing this! XD
lol hahaha omg is this for real? :)
*splooged*
SOLD'D
Omg, don't cross the streams!
=|
YES
hell freakin' yes
Oh please let this be on the wii. Crossing wiimote streams, "tossing" the traps, that would be the dream...
WHAZZIT? HABBAJEBAWHA? WHOSAMADDA?
That's the most amazing video game screen I've ever seen. Ever.
I've heard zilch about this. Must go investigate!
I remember this moment when I watched the Ghost Busters movie... Seeing the Stay Puft marshmallow man trudge the streets of New York and then exploding into gooey marshmallow goodness... haha, EPIC.
Seriously this was my favorite property when I was a kid. Glad I did pick up a PS3, even if it was mostly for Rock Band.
Hmm, I just got out of the shower, get back to my computer, and see this. Excuse me while I take another.
Well, damnit. There go another 60 of my dollars...
holy crap thats awesome
Oh my sweet fuckulence
I am still waiting for a Calvin and Hobbs game, but this will do quite nicely.
I think my pants just exploded.
Childhood nostalgia.. tingling
I agree...this game looks graphically amazing! I now have yet another game on the horizon to empty my dust-collecting wallet. Is it me or are there honestly TOO MANY good games lately? I never thought that'd be a problem, but truly it's getting to be a bit much! ^_^
GAAAAH! It just gets more and more and more awesome! WANT.
Now if only they'd put the tv show on DVD... [drool]
Wow. The screenshot looks pretty sweet.
@Thrillhaus: It is on the Wii, my friend. However, they are calling that version plus the PS2 and DS versions the "casual" versions of the game. Wonder what that means...
As for my own thoughts, all I gotta say is FINALLY. Ghostbusters will make an awesome video game transition, and with the original cast on board to voice and script, it gonna be a funny game, indeed.
That very well might be the best screenshot I have ever seen. I didn't even click the article for like 10 minutes...just steered at the screen.
OMG!!!! "We've been going about this all wrong, this Mr. Stay Puft's okay, he's a sailor, he's in New York, we get this guy laid we won't have any trouble. "
@Thrillhaus: From the way the screen shot looks graphically, Not much hope for a Wii version.
Bah, C64 version looked way better.
Just kidding! :-)
I'lll be playing this while yelling "NOBODY steps on a church in my town!" at the screen. I will.
I saw this and first thing I said?
"Oh my fucking God" and then I started drooling uncontrollably and blacked out for a minute.
Holy. Shit. A Ghostbuster hanging off the side of a building blowing the living hell out of a Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man.
Wow. That image alone is enough to trump the Zootfly footage, and that's a statement I stand by.
omg coop + ghostbusters... and that screen shot... dude if it looks as good as uncharted. I'm sold, ha ha.
bout time they did the movie justice and made a good game out of it... anybody see the angry video game nerd videos about the old nes games...
Oh wow, I pray that this ends up being good.
I just crapped in your pants.
Jesus shitting Christ.
I came.
Oh, oh must have! That's definitely better-looking than the Genesis game.
Now I'm hungry for s'more screenshots...
Wow. I'm just hoping this'll be good. With all the original Ghostbusters on board, though (and with Aykroyd and Ramis working on the game's script), I'm thinking it'll at least have a fun story. And featuring Stay Puft like this makes me happy.
Two in the box
Ready to go!
We be fast and they be slow!

Suffice it to say I'm really looking forward to this! If they do it right, it'll be tons of fun.
Wow just as others have said the game looks good from screenshot one. I'm really hoping this game doesn't turn to crap. If the gameplay is mediocore I'll most likely rent it just to get the sotry and to hear the VAing and script from Ramis and Murray. Also the game has to let me fight Viggo as well. I'm praying for a Peter MacNicol cameo.
*Sorry I meant the script from Ramis and Aykroyd.
Doesn't it go:
"Two in the box, ready to go. We be fast and they be slow!"
???
I am so buying it for multiple reasons.
1) Ghost Busters is a big part of my child hood
2) This will make up for the trauma that I experienced with the NES version.
3) The screen shot looks fucking awesome.
Looks like I found my new wallpaper!
I'm buying this on all the systems! At least the Wii, DS and a toss up on 360/PS3. And if there is much of a difference on PS2. Crap, I love Ghostbusters. Please don't screw this up guys!
For the record: I liked 1 and 2 and if this is anything close two those 2 with a little bit of the cartoon and comics flair thrown in then this will be GOTY material.
@durrem: Dammit, you beat me to the punch!
This definitely looks fun.
I can't wait for the Wii version, with the obligatory table-cloth trick performed with motion-sensing controls.
"And the flowers are still standing!"
@GenRedLeader: The Real Ghostbusters was one of the greatest cartoons of all time.
@Cameroo: It's the new peripheral! Brown Suits!
Can't wait to make smores.
This is retribution for Ashcraft's prior blasphemes!
When I was a kid I carried around a plush Marsh Mallow man with me where ever I went...
Seeing this picture made my head asplode...
DO NOT CROSS THE BEAMS!!!
fair warning to those who are going to play co-op...
Is Stay Puft givin' our man the finger?
I like the visual look, but I have no idea what the gameplay will be like - they did mention co-op, so I'm slightly reassured.
@icepick314: It's streams...
OMG, sweeeeeeeeeet! looks friggin awesome... hopefully it'll be good and DO good and maybe, juuuuuust maybe we'll see a Back to the Future game!!! that would be... *faints*
Come on, let's run some red lights! Oh man one of the best movies ever gets a so far based on that screenshot one sweet looking game and plus voice overs from the actors. This is gonna rule. :)
that.. is.. awesome
STAAAAAAAYYYYYY-PUUUUUUFFFFFFT!
I've been watching kotaku all day and the mass amount of info on this game has been pouring like the rain.
yay. I hope it isn't some average title.
What with the article's tag???? "This man has no penis"???? What the hell is that????
Btw, is it concerned with Ghostbuster movie? I haven't seen it yet.
Death is but a doorway, time is but a window, I'll be back.
I think it is:
"Two in the box; Ready to go!
We be fast, and they be slow!"
...
YES!
holy fucking nostalgia batman!
me want!
wow. I need a change of pants.
@Soralinkyuna: That means the "B" team is making that version... Ghostbusters the Party game.. Use your four controllers and hunt down ghosts now with ps2 graphics.
@shadow_judge: It's a quote from Ghostbusters. Peter says it in reference to the character, Walter Peck.
