Gameitall One of the most well received “Video Game based on a movie” title has to be 2009’s Ghostbusters: The Video Game – developed by the now-defuncted Terminal Reality and written by Dan Aykroyd and the late Harold Ramis as the basis for what would have been the third film which struggled to get off the ground, and featured the original cast of the classic films.
There was a strange cry out for the game to get the remastered treatment and thankfully Saber Interactive and Mad Dog Games, the developer and publisher of NBA Playgrounds, Shaq Fu the Legend Continues and their most recent release – World War Z, have taken control of the rights to the game and are working together on bringing it to the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, PC and Xbox One later this year.
In Ghostbusters: The Video Game, you play as an unnamed new recruit to the Ghostbusters as a guinea pig for the new experimental proton packs as a major supernatural event hits New York. The game was a third person shooter of sorts, in which players attempted to wrangle and trap various ghosts and apparitions.
There is no direct release date for the remaster at this time but Saber Interactive have given a 2019 release window.
