ZootFly has been developing a Ghostbusters game based on the movies and confirmed the videos of the Xbox 360 version that got leaked onto youtube (shown below) are real. However, the bad news is that the game is currently on hold. So you’re going to have to hold on to that call.
Bostjan Troha, CEO of ZootFly, told IGN: “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 [Columbia].” Take a look at the work-in-progress videos:
Ghostbusters Ecto2 chases ghosts through the streets of New York.
An interview with Dr. Venkman (Bill Murray) from a Ghostbusters game prototype.
By the way, ZootFly’s proprietary engine takes care of the graphics and gameplay on not just Xbox 360, but also PS3 and the PC. So while the above movies are from the Xbox 360 version, expect the game to appear on PS3 & PC as well.
