The Ghostbusters News We've All Been Waiting For

Remember that Ghostbusters "Horde Mode" craziness that we got caught up in? Remember the co-op campaign we've been jonesing for? It's all there!

Kombo has posted some new screenshots and multiplayer details, making for a very pleasant surprise this morning...

 

Instant Action: players can test their mettle in a variety of Job Types across a selection of 12 different maps to see if they've got what it takes to be a true Ghostbuster.

  1. Survival: Survive a paranormal onslaught
  2. Containment: Capture all the ghosts
  3. Destruction: Eliminate mysterious artefacts to prevent spawning ghosts
  4. Protection: Protect Egon's devices
  5. Thief: Save the artefacts from being stolen by ghosts
  6. Slime Dunk: Dunk the most Slimers

    Campaign Mode: players work through one of four different environments busting ghosts to earn cash and upgrade their equipment.

12 maps across 4 themed environments:
  1. Library
  2. Streets
  3. Cemetery
  4. Museum

 

Okay, so the campaign mode is really just a mini-campaign, but it sounds like the environments are quite large, and each time you play through, you gain experience points toward your profile rank. This rank helps determine the difficulty settings each time you play, and can also serve as a matchmaking tool should you want to play Ghostbusters as a "competitive co-op" game.
