That could be cool.

 

[Neff]

If that's Ghostbusters then I'm Harold Ramis

 

[Valt7786]

That does...not look like ghostbusters. The fuck is that one guy wearing on his head? And a pink haired girl in a what, lime green jumpsuit? GTFOutta here with that shit.

I know this has happened in the past, especially with the Ghostbusters license, but why does Sony Pictures make exclusive deals with rival companies when they have their own VR headset. It would make sense to have it exclusive with Sony Computer Entertainment instead of Meta.

Hire better writers, Sony!


Not Amy Schumer'n'friends..

The concept of a VR Ghostbusters game is amazing, but they have totally disregarded what we all loved about Ghostbusters.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

As I said before, Without the ghostbusters cast, it's not a ghostbusters game.

Is it very difficult to put the original cast in a videogame?

Inconsistencies of Jim ryan?

Inconsistencies of Sony Corporation, more like it. But either way, why would Jim Ryan want anything to do with that shit?

 

[remember_spinal]

Its probably a timed exclusive until PSVR2 launches

 

[Zok310]

Jim calling the ceo of sony right now saying "wtf?!"

 

[ResilientBanana]

Its probably a timed exclusive until PSVR2 launches

You don't say.

 

[Ozriel]

Its probably a timed exclusive until PSVR2 launches

If it runs on a Snapdragon mobile chipset, it can run well on a PS4.

They probably just haven't gotten round to making a higher fidelity version. This is pretty much nDreams licensing IP from Sony pictures.

 

[kiphalfton]

Because the other "Ghostbusters" game did so well

When wil these morons learn.

Do you think people wanted a cameo from any of the female ghostbusters cast in the newest movie, lol hell no.

 

[Fess]

I know it's Sony Pictures but it's still weird to see a Sony game on Quest 2. Are they just going after the biggest platform here?

 

[fart town usa]

Looks like a multiplayer type thing, I'm guessing that's why the person had an animal thing on their head (customization, etc). Art style looks similar to Fort Nite and me being an aging curmudgeon, that shit don't fly with me.

Looks like it could be fun but would probably skip it even if it was on PSVR2. Weird that it's Sony but exclusive to Quest 2.

So much this. Give me the original cast. Not a bunch of idiots I don't care about.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

Could be interesting, as long as slimer doesn't bukkake me…

 

[ethomaz]

Another low profile VR game.

PSVR2 can't come son enough.

 

[EekTheKat]

Mildly interested if it's like the David Crane's Ghostbusters: The Computer game - where you basically run a Ghostbusters franchise location. That was always a pretty solid framework to build around.

Not so interested if it's L4D style where you play through 4 campaigns consisting of 3 missions each that always plays out the same way with some quirky wacky heroes.

 

[Fbh]

Man a Ghostbuster VR could be cool.
But this Fortnite looking thing probably ain't it.

 

[nominedomine]

You don't say.

You never know with Sony, their division don't seem to coordinate their efforts.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

"Exclusive"

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I like the idea of more coop VR games. I'm not so sure of the kid-friendly-style/goof in the trailer.
