It's a shame the Wii isn't getting it's own Ghostbusters game. The Wiimtoe would be awesome with catching ghosts.
Heh maybe Luigis Mansion will get a sequel and do the ghost busters game right.

Spiderman was made by Columbia, and not a sony exclusive
@ Twestern, any problems with the PS3, I assume it will be delayed at some point

add me
It's cool to have a developer around, especially one working on an old school IP like Ghostbusters. Congrats, Twesterm.
Things we (and by we, I mean ... me) would like to know:
1. Co-op? 2-4 players?
2. Proton packs - Unlimited or have to be charged?
3. Please have traps
4. Voice overs from the original actors?
5. Drive the wagon?
Do keep us informed!

Original actors doing the voice overs are confirmed. Ernie Hudson (Winston) interview. Yes, that includes the elusive Bill Murray

The rest I imagine is still under NDA.

First off, please understand I cannot say anything new. I can only really talk about what's already there but more information will come; we still have nearly a year.

Sony is a large company and it isn't all about the PS3. The movie division doesn't have anything to do with the gaming division and there is without a doubt going to be versions other than the PS3 version.
One of the things we showed off to Game Informer was our in house engine, the Infernal Engine. It was originally made for the PS2 so it was easy to make it for the PS3. After making it for the PS3 it was easy to adapt it to the 360, Wii, and whatever else we wanted. They PS3 and 360 both run great and one runs just as well as the other.
One of the demos shown was one where cars were thrown into the levels ontop of a large amount of tables and chairs that all splintered into smaller physics objects that were all simming and then bodies were dropped on top of that. It's fun to note that bodies didn't have the usual twitching that games like Halo 3 and Bioshock have-- ours actually simulated correctly. ^^ The engine can do more than 1000 objects along with lighting, AI, effects, and everything else without taking a hit in framerate for the PS3 and 360.

The Wii is getting its own version...kind of. The PS2 version and the Wii version will be the same game but my understanding is that it's being made for the Wii first (kind of like Rayman Raving Rabbids). As I said, I'm not close to the Wii version but I have seen it and it's looking good.
Here's a summary of the GI article that someone else posted (source NeoGaf)
My god this sounds bad ... this is one game that Im happy that its not comming to my precious :P
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
Thanks for all the info, Twesterm
You da man.

Uh ... joke post? If not, -10 respect points, doubly so since it's specifically not coming to your platform of choice
Edit: I see your age in your profile, and I suppose that's about the only explanation needed. Both movies came out before you were born, and you probably never watched the cartoon either.
