Who are we calling this time?
I almost can’t believe thatGhostbusters, as a franchise, has lasted nearly 40 years. From the insane original concept from Dan Aykroyd, to the sequel, to multiple cartoons, to video games, people have been singing the heavily litigated theme for decades. And given that it’s still relevant yet again following themostly fine responseto the alrightAfterlifefilm, it’s probably time for anotherGhostbustersgame. Ernie Hudson thinks so too.
So earlier this year we got word thatFriday the 13thdevelopers IllFonicwere probably working on aGhostbustersgame. But thanks toGhostbustersstar Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore in the films), we have a second confirmation. Hudson revealed the news atthe Celebrity Fan Fest event this past week.
Here’s what he had to say on the topic:
“I just got an e-mail, because we’re doing another video game. They’re scheduling it now to do the recording, and I’m not too sure who going to do it, I know me and Danny (Dan Aykroyd), I think. I’m not sure about Billy (Bill Murray) will do anything on it. So, there will be another video game. When they’ll bring it out, I don’t know, but it’s definitely happening.”
Ghostbusters, as a whole, is what I’d call a disorganized franchise. Even from the very start things were a little foggy in terms of who was the steward of the characters, and now we’re bouncing around from Terminal Reality to IllFonic. But given that the lattergenerally puts out serviceable games, I have hope that it’ll be playable, at least.
