Sold... Seriously, I'm already sold... Like, as in, they've already as good as sold me my copy (as long as it's for Wii, not some PS3 or 360 exclusive... Even if it was exclusive to 360/PS3, I might have to get a 360 just because of this...)

As long as this is handled professionally, given top-notch treatment, this is the kind of game I've been waiting *years* to behold...

To quote from the 1st film: "We've got the tools, we've got the talent!..." "It's Miller time!!"

This makes me happy, Akroyd wanted to do another movie but the guy who played Egon, I forget his name, Didn't want to make it:( That and Chris Farley was gonna be in it but he died.
I hope they make a whole new GhostBusters story like the Evil Dead games and with a lot of FMV, Good Voice Overs and a well made game with solid gameplay.

It sounds so far away and already cant wait, This and Banjo Threeie i'm SO excited for!!!!

That's how this should be view as.

[Havok154]

That's how this should be view as.
Since Universal now owns the rights to make the game, any revenue made from the sale of the game it's self is going to Universal and MS, not Sony. If Sony was smart, they would make their own game and put it on the PS3 so they could make money off of each one sold, but they're not.

Actually, Harold Ramis (Egon) WANTED to make another one, it was Bill who didn't. =\ Only cause he looks old. As of right now, they're actually starting to get it underway as a CGI movie. In case for those who don't know what it's about, it's called Ghostbusters 3: Ghostbusters in Hell. Kind of obvious after that. lol I hope it is CG, but is cell shaded to the point of the old cartoon. I LOVED that show. As for GB3 that Ichijoe refered to, I think you meant the fan made movie. Which was actually VERY good, just not good acting.

As for the Evil Dead game, you mean how Regeneration was where it actually took place of "Army of Darkness"? Yeah, that really was badass. I'd love to see the game take over the story like that, and not just some platonic story.
