New Ghostbusters Trailer Features Movie Footage, also Ghost Fishing.

Familiarity among geeks is essential when taking something we love and introducing it in a new medium. To emphasize the familiar, the new Ghostbusters trailer features movie footage from 1984, and an important lesson delivered by Harold Ramis: Don't look directly into the trap. I can only imagine that the film footage was also to show off the likeness in both features and voice. I was impressed with how everything looks, and noticed a bit of Ghost-fishing with the way the streams seem to work.

 

Atari and Sony Pictures definitely seem to be pushing for this game to be accepted as the third installment in a Ghostbusters trilogy, and we certainly don't mind original stories for games in a familiar, beloved franchise!

Take a look for yourself.  After your done, perhaps you want to read our NY Comic-Con details on the game.
