JackFetch Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31247 If that's not real, I want to know how it was made. That is the coolest looking game I have ever seen. From Gamespot: Today, the company updated its Web site and confirmed that the footage was indeed real, was not a mod of another game, was in-game footage, and was running on the Xbox 360. However, the game is merely a prototype and development has "hit a bump on the road." That "bump" is apparently copyright issues with the Ghostbusters name. A post on ZootFly's Web site says, "Everybody here at Zootfly is working actively on resolving the challenges with the owners of the Ghostbusters IP." If ZootFly can manage to resolve the IP issues, development on the game will continue. From zootfly.com We are very glad to see the overwhelming response to the Ghostbusters prototype movies. What you’ve seen is indeed in-game footage of early prototypes on the Xbox 360, running on ZootFly’s proprietary engine. Due to licensing issues, further development of the Ghostbusters game hit a bump on the road, but everybody here at ZootFly is working actively on resolving the challenges with the owners of the Ghostbusters IP. Not to lose the momentum, a part of the ZootFly team is currently working on an original game called TimeO, which is closely related to Ghostbusters. The game follows the adventures of two die-hard New Yorkers. They get trapped deep in the shadow world of a parallel New York. The city itself is a war machine threatening to wipe out our world and they have three days to stop it. As soon as the Ghostbusters IP issue is resolved, the whole team will go back to Ghostbusters. In the meantime, please enjoy these two movies. So, was it all a publicity stunt to get the public interested in their company to sell this TimeO game?

TheRetreater Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 It reminds me of a couple years ago when that guy made the batman/alien/predator short that everyone fell in love with. I think this is basically their demo to spark interest in both themselves and the game. It could be good though, cuz I would love a Ghostbusters game and this may spark market interest. I loved the old ones (even though the second wasn't a very good game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Should all the pieces come together, this had better be released on the Wii. That system was made for a FPS Ghostbusters game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That system was made for a FPS Ghostbusters game. and my mind starts thinking of all the bonus gadgets the 'Busters use and how the Wii would make that hypothetical game even cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Add-ons aren't really needed; the Wiimote would be the particle thrower, while the nunchuk could be used to "throw" and open the trap. It's the perfect system, as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRetreater Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Add-ons aren't really needed agreed. my mind just traveled to different ways to use the pke meter, ecto-spit, the traps, or even the containment unit. the basic mote/chuk is plenty.

JackFetch Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The Wii can't handle the graphics seen in the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 They could be watered down for the Wii. Wouldn't be the first time graphics had to be tweaked for a Nintendo system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bento Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hate to say this but, it's probably never going to be done. They are having serious problems with licensing and when was the last time Zootfly actually released a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is also the possibility that whoever does own the rights will decide to make a crappy game instead just because now they know it will sell.

They might as well port it over to the Phantom while they're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bento Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I just don't understand how the "Original Ghostbusters" cartoon had a talking ape and other shit that didn't jive with the movie. Like, where did the ape come from? By original did they mean completely different from the movie or the idea before the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 The potential of a Ghostbusters game on the Wii makes me too excited. Granted, on the off-chance it actually happens, it'll probably still be incredibly disappointing. Still, fingers *and* toes crossed. (Points for where that last quote comes from).

TV show called Ghost Busters predates the movie by almost a decade. It's that show which the Filmation GB cartoon is based on. So the name "Original Ghostbusters" is quite accurate.

I actually had to look up the liscensing issues once for this a couple years back. the Ape show had nothing to do with the movies. But the ape show is why the cartoon that did jive with the movies was called the REAL ghostbusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Ha, online petition. It's the company's own fault for producing a game before getting the okay for the intellectual property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
