The game features elements of typical third-person shooters, but instead of a traditional gun, each player is equipped with a Proton Pack containing a direct-energy weapon called the Neutrona Wand, a ghost trap, and other technological means of fighting and capturing ghosts. The game follows the player's character as a recruit in the Ghostbusters, a team of parapsychologists who pursue and capture ghosts. But who knows, I haven't heard anything about them publicly announcing them dropping the online all. There are some sources that say they intended to, but it sounds like the original files for the online mode gave them some trouble so I highly doubt they'll add it in unless one of the bigger companies gets them to do it, which is unlikely. A separate game for the Nintendo DS with the same title was developed by Zen Studios and released at the same time, albeit with substantial differences in the gameplay and story.Nope. In North America, all versions of the game were published by Atari, while in Europe, the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 3 versions were published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
The game is a third-person shooter, placing players in the role of a new recruit to the Ghostbusters team known as "the Rookie" (also called "Rook", " Newbie", " Cadet", "New Guy", "Green Horn", and similar names), taking over a previous fifth member's (implying was Louis Tully) position. A remastered version for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, developed by Saber Interactive and published by Mad Dog Games, was released on October 4, 2019. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics, and more than three million copies were sold.
While the pack is overheated or being vented, players are momentarily unable to use the pack's weapons. Continuous use of the Proton Pack causes it to overheat, but it can be manually vented to cool it down and to keep it from shorting out and resetting. Weapons cannot be used in this mode.In both the original and the remastered versions of the game, Terminal Reality's Infernal Engine allows for the Ghostbusters' Proton Stream to bend in real time, reacting as it did in the films.In the third-person view, players can aim and fire a Proton Stream to weaken ghosts, allowing them to be captured in a ghost trap. Players can scan these elements to gain more information about them and receive a monetary reward. In this mode, paranormal items are highlighted and the PKE Meter helps direct players to ghosts or haunted artifacts. Players can switch to a first-person perspective by equipping the Rookie with the PKE Meter and goggles.
The Wii and PS2 versions have a significantly different campaign, but the stories are mostly identical. The single-player campaign is the same for the Xbox 360, Windows, and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. The Capture Stream can also be used to move objects in the environment. When a ghost is in the Capture Stream, players can also execute a "slam" attack to force it against a hard surface, further weakening the ghost and making it easier to trap.
Many of the achievements' names come from quotes in the films, such as the "You Gotta Try This Pole" achievement. The game also tallies monetary destruction caused by the player, with Xbox 360 Achievements and PlayStation 3 Trophies awarded for either minimizing damage done, or for causing a high amount of damage. By capturing ghosts, as well as identifying cursed artifacts and new species of ghosts using the PKE Meter, players can earn in-game money to spend on upgrades to Proton Pack modes and ghost traps.
If all of the active Ghostbusters fall, including the player, the player will have to restart at the last checkpoint. Similarly, the player can help revive fallen team members. If there are other Ghostbusters still standing, they will attempt to reach the player and revive them. The player's health regenerates over time if they do not take further damage, but they can be knocked down by taking more damage. In place of a traditional heads-up display, the player's health and weapon status are represented as meters on the back of the Proton Pack.
In the Wii, PlayStation 2, and PSP versions, the player "slams" a ghost by initiating a Simon Says-type game with the ghost, and the player is given the option to play as a man or woman. Visual aspects of the interface are relocated, such as placing the Proton Pack's temperature meter as a HUD element instead of on the backpack. In addition to the cartoon-like graphics and the E10+ rating, the Wii version uses the Wii Remote for gameplay.
An adversarial multiplayer suite was advertised for the Wii version as well, but it is not in the final release. The Wii version is the only platform to feature offline multiplayer, with the entire single-player mission playable by two players in a split-screen mode. These missions include capturing as many ghosts as possible in a limited period of time or attempting to defend ghost disruptors as they are charged up. Players can play online with up to three others in a variety of missions outside of the main storyline. Multiplayer The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions feature an online multiplayer mode. The player controls the original cast rather than an unnamed rookie.
Unable to cope with the demand for their services, the Ghostbusters hire a fourth member, Winston Zeddemore ( Ernie Hudson). In the original film Ghostbusters, the team combat a rising paranormal threat in the city, brought on by the machinations of long-dead cult leader Ivo Shandor to bring about a global catastrophe by using his building, 55 Central Park West, to summon the demi-god Gozer the Gozerian. The primary characters are Peter Venkman ( Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz ( Dan Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler ( Harold Ramis), a trio of eccentric parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City known as the Ghostbusters. Synopsis Setting and characters The disembodied spirit of Ivo Shandor, prior to the character taking the Destructor Form called "The Architect", was the film Ghostbusters (1984) unseen antagonist, formally introduced as the game's protagonists' chief adversary.Ghostbusters: The Video Game is set during Thanksgiving in 1991, two years after the events of the 1989 supernatural comedy film Ghostbusters II. Atari cited the declining online gameplay as the main reason for shutting down the servers.
He is a new recruit tasked with testing the Ghostbusters' experimental and dangerous devices. The player character is dubbed the "Rookie" and does not speak. In Ghostbusters: The Video Game, the Ghostbusters have become city contractors, authorized and insured to capture ghosts. They re-form as a new threat arises in the form of Vigo the Carpathian, a 16th-century tyrant reborn in a painting and empowered by a buildup of supernatural slime beneath the city, brought about by the negative emotions of New Yorkers.
