Producer: Ghostbusters Game Is Gears of War Lite - Image 1 

"We're definitely cooler than Fenix." "Uh, sure."


Defeating a marshmallow man probably doesn't match up to facing down the Locust Hord, but it does give you points. In fact, the Ghostbusters video game (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS) will be like Gears of War "Lite," says the game's producer, Garrett Moehring. That is, in terms of accessibility:

We’re trying to make this pretty mainstream as far as a third-person shooter goes. Because that’s really what it is for the most part, it’s an action-shooter — “Gears of War” Lite, in a way. But it’s not as complex.


[...] So controllers, layout, and what the actual player felt like when they were moving the character around was one of the hallmarks of where our focus was.


Moehring says that no major changes have been made since Atari acquired the rights to the game - they've only been doing a bit of polishing:

We didnÂ’t add a ton of new features, but we did add some and change some original weapons, or pieces of equipment as theyÂ’d call it in the Ghostbusters lingo. And we just felt we needed to make the game much more accessible.


I just want to toast the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man already.

cool

Am praying (in a non-religious way) that this is gonna be at least half decent. I love Ghostbusters and to have a game of it in this current generation of consoles just has great potential. Hope they have a demo soon.

"Gears of War lite - For that same smooth taste without all the calories. " And hopefully without the utterly ***** multi player too.
