Media: Ghostbusters: The Video Game - Rule 2 Trailer
February 5, 2009 | 1:10 PM PST
I'm a little worried about something in the upcoming Ghostbusters video game. But before we get into that, watch the newest video first.
Awesome stuff, isn't it? Brief, but awesome. I especially like how they started with movie footage, went to black, and then came back with game footage. Nice.
What concerns me is the brief spot where Ecto-1 is being chased down the street by a horde of ghosts. There, yeah, it looks like a cutscene, but what if there's gameplay tied to that as well? Tying in driving gameplay in the middle of a game that revolves around other kinds of action doesn't tend to work out very well all that often.
But, maybe I'm worrying too much, and there is no driving sequence. I mean, it sounds good in theory, but that just leads to the question of whether or not they can get it right. If they do take that approach, then I sure hope so-- it would be disappointing if an otherwise good game got hung up over something like that, all for the sake of "variety."
But hey, we've trusted these guys this far. I guess I won't worry until there is legitimate cause to worry.
What do you guys think? Would you want to drive the Ecto-1, or would you rather not take the risk?
