Remember how great Ghostbusters was?

Maybe Ghostbusters 2 made you forget. Either way, here’s an amazing — and apparently, fake, so don’t get your hopes up — clip of a Ghostbusters videogame that’ll remind you of how cool this franchise was/can be.

It looks like some kind of Gears of War mod, but fake or not, hopefully this wakes someone up to the potential of a Ghostbusters videogame.

EDIT: Maybe it’s not so fake after all! From OXM Online, some good/bad news:

ZootFly have broken there silence and whilst they have confirmed that this work is legit, the news is bittersweet. As of now, production on the title has stalled. Bostjan Troha, CEO of ZootFly, commented; “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.”

Yay and boo in equal measure. Lets hope they do successfully traverse the red tape and that this title is not left in limbo indefinitely. In the meantime, ZootFly are plugging the gap with another game. Troha continues;

“Part of the ZootFly team is currently working on an original game called TimeO, which is closely related to Ghostbusters. The game follows the adventures of two die-hard New Yorkers. They get trapped deep in the shadow world of a parallel New York. The city itself is a war machine threatening to wipe out our world and they have three days to stop it. As soon as the Ghostbusters IP issue is resolved, the whole team will go back to Ghostbusters.”

Spread the word!
