  • The Ghostbusters never left us. The interviewer is a bit of a dick, isn't he?

  • @Elfrunner He also didn't mention Winston when naming the Ghostbusters! Zeddemore never gets the credit he deserves!

  • we all want to now when is ghostbusters 3 coming out the qestchun is will they save the world or not

  • i wonder if dan akroyd got to play this game?

  • the interviewer is a douche

  • i love the video game it just made my wish come true to feel and become a ghostbuster even if its a video game i still love it

  • Ghostbusters 3! YEAH!!!

  • i MISS this game!!! T.T

  • @Devinfilms6679 You mean the enthusiasm of the game's release or the actual game itself ?

  • interviewer is an ass. ofcourse they brought back stay puff if they didnt it would suck. I think they should of brought back vigo too.

  • This whole interview went completely south when he called it a "dead franchise from the eighties"

  • ghostbusters 3 could be done well...26 six years....they are old, almost geriactric need new recruits....and just run with the shit....its been so long since ghostbuers were cool and they just need a fucking comeback like everything else from the 80's

  • I don't know they COULD have just made a CG movie, and they wouldn't have had the problem with the voice syncing but at the same time, It would be Ghost Busters 3 and it would be the Odd ball because it is in CG. hmm I just thought about it know. But I am glad they made a video game. But what about that new movie Akroyd was talking about in papers a couple years ago is that still happening?

  • The idea that it's a "Dead Franchise" may come from the fact that nothing was released commercially from later 1998-2007 Between the end of Extreme Ghostbusters and the announcment of the game. That's what I think he was refereing to, because for a while there yeah it was kind of dead. Sure you'd get the occasional GB3 news point but it was mostly just the fact that everyone came to terms with the idea that there would probably be no new stuff released until a big anniversary like this one.

  • Dan Aykroyd says no ghost busters 3 fuck him

  • @werewolf979 maybe its fuck u cuz GB 3 would suck ASS

  • @burtonrules123,

    Ghostbusters 3 won't be a sorry movie the next film, will have Oscar Barrett taking the torch as the next-generation Ghostbuster after the original team retires. The new recruit on the Ghostbusters video game last year gave me the idea of him being adult Oscar Barrett.

  • @werewolf979,

    In the beginning Dan Aykroyd believed that Ghostbusters 3 wasn't going to be a reality but, after the success of the Ghostbusters: The VIdeo Game last year in 2009 there will be a third Ghostbusters film. It is confirmed already and the cast will return Rick Moranis I think is still a rumor returning as Louis Tully but, I'm a huge fan of Rick Moranis as well. He's funny and looked good with Annie Potts in the sequel playing Janine Melnitz.

  • I've always loved ghostbusters but now the video game looks really really awsome kick ass

  • @lukecage213,

    I have a copy of Ghostbusters: The Video Game on XBOX 360 and I have to say the GB game is beautiful feels like the 1984 and 1989 films. If, you haven't been through deep in the game Vigo: The Carpathian the villain from Ghostbusters II has a appearance in the game and he talks too.

  • @Kevinlclayjr

    Totally Awsome man

    :)

  • @lukecage213,

    Thanks alot man for being a Ghostbusters fan there will be a third film man it is official the film is already in production if I'm not mistaken. If you look at the stars Wikipedia filmography Ghostbusters III is on the list.

  • Ghostbusters rocks! everyone on the xbox live is awesome! :D

  • Great game.

  • ghostbusters is NOT a dead franchise

  • Nothing is DEAD in this time Magazine! 25 years on and Ghostbusters is still in everyones top 10 and the industries top 250!

  • And I tell you to stick a corck in it you bloody idiot.

    It has nothing to do with this, it has to do with things being sold as this or that, but aren't as such in the end...

  • Hell yeah and im pretty sure there kids dont even know who the fuck the ghostbusters are... but i cant say that you bieng 13 your way to young to remember ..

  • They saw the movies and know exactly who they are!

    You nitwits don't even know how to react to what the problem was.

    Ramble on weirdos

  • @CircaMay85 A lot of kids don't know about the Ghostbusters because they're more into He-Man these days, and most of their bureaucratic fathers have filled their heads with lies that they're a bunch of 'crocks'! -Poor guys can't even get stable birthday gigs because of this generation!

  • @CircaMay85

    Quote from GB2

    "who ya gonna call?"

    "he man! he man! he man!"

    kids these days... haha

  • Nice

  • Cry some more, the PC version is the one that got kicked in the ass, face, and balls at the same time. AFAIK, only the Wii version has split-screen.

  • you can play with four people online on the PS3 and XBOX 360

  • Maybe it's a nice game, BUT:

    THE PS3 VERSION IS A BIG BIG RIPOFF!!!!

    We bought the game for our kids because it clearly stated on the box that you can play with 1-4 players and online multiplayer with 2-4 players.

    For hours now we are searching how to let our kids play toghether! And you know how they are!

    Now we see that this mode is NOT available on ps3?????????

    Are they trying to be funny??

    The kids are crying and are really angry!

  • Oh please... I grew up in the Age of Nintendo and my sister and I grew up with only one SNES .. and my parents never stopped buying games just because we couldn't play together at the same time ... teach your childrens to play one at a time or selling the PS3 and buy a Wii...

  • Teach them the value of sharing, stupid brats. How can anyone be angry if Bill Murray is in the game!

  • And another retard talking with his arse...

    Bloody amazing!

  • i beat it in one day, but its a awesome game. not to easy, its great.

  • can anyone tell me if this game is worth buying

  • It's totally worth it!! The graphics are great, the playability is fantastic and you actually feel like a real ghostbuster!! lol I beat it in one day of course I only played it on easy but there were some parts that were challenging!! It's a great game!! XD

  • it is

  • it is worth buying. play at night. it is pretty Fing scary

  • @DEADbyDAWN187 yes, yes, yes

  • Don't cross the streams lol.

  • that was pretty funny unexpected too

  • This game brings back so many childhood memorys playing ghostbusters!! This game rocks!!!

  • If Atari would of been this diligent back in the day, the Jaguar would of kicked ass.

    Oh well..:-/

  • the hoest suks so bad but the game is so cool and it like your in ny busting ghost lol kicking

  • this is the weirdest motherfucker ever

  • This host sucks.

  • FUCKING DOUCHIE BAG SAID IT WAS DEAD FRANCHISE fuckin moron im insulted he didnt mention ernie hudson

  • look at the cast now and then..haiz

    BTW this game rocks! just finished it

  • that guy is an idiot ghostbusters is not a dead franchise even if this game was never made the movies are still popular especially the first one. those movies are timeless even 10 years from now they will still be enjoyed by kids just finding ghostbusters.

  • I don't know that it was the best game ever. All I know is that I can't stop playing it. seriously, this is the closest you'll ever get to being a ghostbuster without breaking the laws of physics.

    Awsome game, plus that message I got from Dan Akroyd was cool. Untill he mentioned that my game would be at the store the next day, I thought it was some weirdo ghost hunter/telemarketer about to ask for a donation or something. Was anyone else like "what the fuck" when they heard it?

  • Yeah he called me too. That was soo cool.

  • dan akroyd called you?

    what the hell?

  • its not a dead franchise

  • i have the game but i need something more it needs a serial to play the game but i can find it on dvd i dont know it i can find it on google

  • best game of all time

  • good but not the best

  • Yep,.... he was pish at introducing it.

    " and remember..... dont cross the streams" Aye, fuck off pal....LOL

  • Dan Aykroyd is the man

    Now all they have to make a "Blues Brothers" game and i will be happy

  • omg, the host has the least amount of any personality that i've ever seen in anyone. ever.

    btw, I SO WANT TO PLAY THIS! Who ya gonna call!

  • He-man

  • We love you Dan Aykroyd

  • iv got the game

  • The game looks great, and it got great reviews and people who played it loved it.. can i ask though, how did it sell? is it selling good?? anyway on tracking it.. I want that game to do well, and introduce a younger generation the Original REAL ghostbusters.

  • i love this game soo much

  • Dan "THE MAN" Aykroyd

    What a legend :D

  • Akroyd and Ramis is a genius, i love this game, i'm going to play through it until the disc melts if i have to, its feels to me like this is the third movie, only interactive :D

  • can i just say the games the dogs bollocks and the enginge runs superb alot of time and work as gone into this long awaited game by all

  • MILOW?!

  • GHOSTBUSTERS has comeback at the right time. with all the ghost shows on tv. I hope this really sells well as i grew up watching GHOSTBUSTERS.

  • i heard it the game does well it could lead to a third movie and i think the game sell well over a million copies. As a 80s kid this game is everything a ghostbusters fanboy ever dreamed of.

  • this is like supposedto be the third movie/

  • there actually making a third movie but its going to be animated

  • no its not its going to be about a new recruit as said in one of the other interviews. aka danas son

  • thats gay i want the real ghostbusters

  • This game is awsome and i cant get enough of it. Ray is my fav

  • i luv this game, my fav is Egon Spengler

  • ghostbusters isn't a dead franchise!

  • It's the holding to the original concept, characters and fan-approved culture of the game that makes it one of the best games ever created... especially that of a movie franchise.

    Original cast, written by Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson.

    Best... Game... Ever.

  • I <3 DAN AYKROYD

  • His voice is very annoying lol

  • This guy's a shitty interviewer

  • Let's face it, it's the films and shows of the past that were good. The quality of programs was just better, now it's all just reality shows. In the past few years until now just check how many games have come out based on former films, Rocky+Rocky Legends for Xbox, TheThing, Dirty Harry, Ghostbusters, etc. Now they make Transformers movies, they made a new rocky movie recently, a new rambo movie,etc. See where I am going with this, movies and shows were of way better quality than these days.

  • the new guy is lukas hoss, you'll find that out by listening to the messages

  • they need to come out with a ghostbusters 3 the movie

  • Werent you paying atention? this is basicly Ghostbusters 3 there too old to actualy do another movie

  • Was Sylvester Staylon too old for Rambo and Rocky ´??!

  • No but then the new Rocky and Rambo movies sucked (Rambo was okish but Rocky sucked ass)

  • @LinkHimora they are not to old they are writing a script for gb 3 right now

  • This is a good game, and wait a minute, Ghostbusters was a dead franchise? Well maybe the cartoons in the 90s weren't that popular but they still owned.

  • To be honest, I don't think Ghostbusters never did die. It was in hybernation.

  • lev grossman, go crash and burn

  • Someone give me pacific instructions on how to open the gate in Central Park with the Slime Tether! lol.

  • the first gate you have to tether the flying cherub statues to the concrete frame above the unbreakable gate. The second gate you tether the actual gate to the ecto1. The third gate breaks your car.

  • You shoot the Slime Thether at the gate & then the other end of the Thether to the front bumper of the Ecto-1.Once you do that, Winston will start reversing the Ecto-1. You will have to do it a few times for the gate to fully open. Your fellow Ghostbusters will let you know when the gate is open enough ;)

  • lev grossman, you, sir, are an idiot

  • i was pleasantly surprised with this game! I only wish it lasted longer!

  • 3 years was well worth it! GREAT GAME!

  • man his voice is bad. I don't know how he got that job...

  • Ghostbusters, a "dead franchise from the eighties"????

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

  • Comment removed

  • This is the best movie game ever!

  • dan is such a legend

  • 5 stars it gave me a reviwe of a game i want.

  • dans old now but hes still cool

  • The interviewer is kind of an asshole and treats the viewer as if they are an idiot.

  • To paraphrase Peter Venkman:

    Oh Levvy did you dis the wrong franchise. Would someone smack him please?

  • Matt Grossman sounded very bored.

  • He was definitely without personality.

  • Ghostbusters was an icon in the 80's, 90's and now. Ghostbusters franchise is not dead, i bet there would be some dumbass movie companies wanting to do a remake. it's what they do now a days, look at friday the 13th.

  • i hear ya

  • the bad thing some movies like gb dont need it others maybe but not the classics remake bad films make the bad ones good that would be cool

  • yeah they dont need remakes but since creativity is done the drain. they want to make money by making money of a succesful movie

  • .........what?

  • I wanna play murder simulator.

  • I still watch these movies a couple times a year and ive seen them 120+ times. Def not a dead franchise. There my favorite movies next to Terminator 2.

  • DAMN He said Dead Franchise, me and My sons watch those movies.... What a dumb ass

  • Everybody I know, myself included watches them at least a couple times a year, too. Heck, I'm wearing the t-shirt right now! Dead? Hardly.

  • Hey, that's not true! Ghostbusters is NOT a dead franchise! It's still really popular! On top of that, the theme song is a classic and it'll never lose it's touch!

  • DEAD??? Have you not seen that since the last movie till now people still quote in movies and tv from it? Have you not seen the shirts still sell??...What rock have you been living under! The only ghost is the narrator!

  • peter griffin in family guy used a few of ghostbusters lines,like "there is no peter,only zuel".

  • yeah but the only difference is peter griffin is not funny.

  • zuul

  • Peter Griffin ruins everything, and it's spelled Zuul.

  • if they try to bring back a old stuff look at transformers

  • ghostbusters never died if it did then wuy has there been alot of people asking for a third movie even way befor the game

  • I have the game go see my unboxing video on my account

  • i pre ordered mine today!

  • i MUST have that game!

  • Out in JUNE! there! see?! JUNE!! IT'S COMING OUT IN JUNE!!

  • On the 18th too.

  • Lev Grossman, wow Ghostbusters a dead franchise? Obviously you've missed out on the last 20+ years dude. Ghostbusters never died never will 100 years from now Ghostbusters will still be going strong.

  • i think mr. lev grossman needs to brush up on his 1980's movie history and realize that this franchise NEVER died. this guy is a moron

  • 4:29 - it's not a dead franchise! never was!

  • Well I'll take it without hesitation.

    Part 2 didn't suck so much if you're commenting about a third film being made.

    Let me just go ahead and add another thumbs down to the 4 you got already.

  • lev grossman you need to research before making un-true comments! ghostbusters is very much a live and well!

  • Where the hell is winston

  • hes in the game dont worry theres trailers with him in it

  • I think Lev Grossman is more lifeless than any of the ghosts in the video game...

  • "Dead franchise", huh? Anyone ever told this guy about a thing called 'retro'? lol

  • where's winston? i thought ur supposed to be the 5th ghostbuster

  • he is seen in some of the other trailers

  • hes there, the moron interviewer just forgot to mention him

  • Can't wait for this. Have my game pre-ordered for PS3. Really looking forward to this.

  • Only Three Weeks Away I can't wait.

  • dead franchise my ass, its not a dead franchise.. its great classics who still lives!

    the game locks great=)

  • Who designed this game? My audio is down.

  • terminal reality

  • dead franchise?! are you kidding me you putz

  • Time magazine you guys wow. Ghostbusters is not dead its a classic. Oh well id expect this from a company that put fucking Bin Laden on the cover. Idiots

  • Close your eyes and listen... He sounds exactly like Andy Rooney!

  • When that reporter mentioned that the entire main cast of Ghostbusters had made a return I had thought for a moment that he was gonna mention all 4 of them.But he didn't & only mentioned 3. Tsk,even after 20 yrs ol' Winston/Ernie Hudson STILL gets the backseat treatment. :s

  • Yeah, why is that? Also in the 2nd movie, when he is not in the court room.

  • Ernie Hudson is back for the ghostbusters game too.

  • I've already marked my calender. This is gonna rock!!! I hope that they succeed with sales of this game. Its been said if it does well, they will make the Third Ghostbusters movie. I'd be cool to see that!

  • Wait wait,it took Who three years for make this game,did he really say Atari?Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't it the other company and then atari just got it not to long ago?

  • Roll on June 19!

  • Roll ON the 19th of June and bring it on!!!!

  • haha Ghostbusters is not dead take it back!
