Dr. Raymond Stanz announces that Universal has picked up the videogame rights...
Following the emergence (and subsequent disappearance) of Zootfly's prototype Ghostbusters videogame footage, former Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd has confirmed that he'll be reprising his role as Dr. Raymond Stanz in an upcoming game based on the movie franchise.
Speaking to Canadian newspaper Edmonton Sun, Aykroyd announced the news, confirming that: "Universal purchased the rights from Sony for a game. I'm actually going to have to perform and do some motion capture for them. That will be next year."
Universal Studios is currently owned by US television network NBC and Vivendi Group, owners of Vivendi Games, Sierra Entertainment, and World of Warcraft developers, Blizzard Entertainment.
News of a Ghostbusters videogame comes as Aykroyd announced plans to create an all-CGI Ghostbusters 3 movie - so perhaps the videogame will be an adaptation of the movie?

Thanks for this review! I was so excited when I heard about this game that I picked up the Real Ghostbusters volume 1 on dvd from amazon to hold me over until the game's release. Sounds like it will be pretty great! Now I'm definitely going to get it.

Poorly written review. Spelling and grammatical errors all over the place. 2/10. Will not read again.
But seriously, if TVG wants to take itself seriously, TVG needs to hire better writers. Discs don't "wur" in the disc drive, they "whir," as in "whirring."
And ending sentences with prepositions? Seriously?

I don't have any problem with Sony getting exclusive rights, it's what happens, it's just the fact it's so late in the day - it just doesn't make that much sense.

wow. thats all i can say. wow. this is bull$hit. why would they hurt a cult classic game like this? if they did what they were supposed to and released it for all systems simultaneously they would have made mass money, but they went and f*cked it all up didnt they? thats why nobody likes sony and ps3. they are a bunch of money hungary wh#res. the only reason they did this is because the 360 and wii are kicking the ps3"s a$$

Killed off my interest in the game. I'm sure it was gonna just be a mediocre game rescued by the fact it's Ghostbusters, but the Sony exclusivity just doesn't make any sense to me... What didn't they just pick it up entirely when Activision sold it is beyond me.

sorry why do idiots keep moaning about cult classic movies and games based on them gohtbusts is 1 of my fave films apart from the goonies (was there a game released for that film) or spaceballs (again a starwars rip that was hilarious (i would love to see a game made for that film too) but yet all you idiots moaning about games based on old movies are also waiting patently for the jenesn 88 special in burnout paradise so i guess back to the future movies dont suck then.
yeah yeah yeah modern movies have all this great cg and stuff but starwars games have always been good even if the first films were way back in the 70's i dont see anyone moaning about that now even if there are people out there who dont like starwars.
