Ever wish there was a true 3rd Ghostbusters movie? Well here it is!
Who you gonna call? Probably not me... The Ghostbusters video game is great, but The Rookie in the game doesn't talk. And considering it's basically a childhood dream of mine to join Peter, Ray, Winston, and Egon... We should fix that!

fun fact: rookie canonically starts up the chicago branch of ghostbusters after the events of the game.

[@timedragon5492]

I liked this series a lot more than others. Mostly because Justin Case feels like a real character that perfectly fits in the world.

[@PressStartToLaugh]

Some games fit my style very well. And considering Ghostbusters came out and played a massive role in my childhood, it seems fitting

Thank you

[@Alpha-omega-beginning-and-end]

And yet this ghost busters never got a sequel while afterlife will

[@joeyklemenko948]

@@Alpha-omega-beginning-and-end well, I did say this is kind of like a pequel movie to afterlife

[@Atomixzgaming]

What about afterlife

[@Chunkboi]

The great thing about the story dynamic is that it allows the player to make a headcanon and it’d still work. Example: Ray: “What’s your name, kid?” Vince: “Well, I’m Vin…” Peter: “No, no names. We don’t want to get attached to the new kid.” The headcanon: the new kid was a hard science graduate, but having trouble getting on the door. His name was Dr. Vincent Peck. Yeah Walter was his dad, and Vince wasn’t too into his dad’s vendetta. Well, the kid needed a job. So…when William Atherton’s character comes up the stairs… Vincent (rolls eyes): “Hi dad.” (glance to Peter) “Hey, you were the one that told me no names.” 😊

[@Bruv-_-113]

This works so well🫡

[@shinigami9851]

God i cant imagine the smug look on petes face.

[@samsilverman8579]

I love the idea he joined the ghostbusters to piss him off

[@Chunkboi]

@@samsilverman8579 Actually in the headcanon he joined mainly because of student loans. He was graduating college when the Gozer incident happened, and he was finishing med school when the Vigo incident happened. Unfortunately he didn’t match that year (not uncommon, some docs need a couple more tries), and needed a job in the interim. So, thumbing through the classifieds, he sees the familiar logo, and didn’t he read an article about the Spengler noise reduction algorithms and how they could clarify imaging? He signed up.

[@Chunkboi]

@@shinigami9851 I think only Bill Murray could pull it off. If I tried to model it using assets from the Ghostbusters game, my graphics card might explode. I can also imagine Pete’s distress trying to keep from stirring the pot, knowing they had a job to do. He’s a psychologist by trade, but oh, the temptation to make Walter have a conniption fit. Too bad, gotta keep the new guy in play.

[@Strykerclass242]

You know, the main character having the backround of a firefighter may actually be the best skill set for a ghostbuster.

[@Mr.Freeze420]

I would say afterlife is the 3rd one we needed. Yeah people might say it relies on nostalgia but it’s not at all a bad movie. I said the night it was released if I were to say on twitter that afterlife was better then the original I would get crucified.

[@PrinceAlhorian]

This is actually the script for the 3rd Movie, heavily adjusted to make it work for a game.

[@GipsyDangerfan]

I can't be the only one who wanted to see what sort of trouble Peter may have gotten into while he was following Peck, right? And I'm kinda sad we never got the parade level. Also, I've seen characters get launched by the minecart, but I've never seen them get launched that far before.

The governments have granted full support to the Ghostbusters to expand their operations WORLDWIDE! Air transport, heavy equipment.... and definitely added proton sensors to prevent people from crossing the streams! WE KNOW THERE ARE SOME WHO WILL FOR THE LOLS!!

I loved watching Disney Gargoyles cartoons after school as a kid. They were considered good guys

[@slayer0235]

Yes. This game takes place in 1991, three years before Gargoyles debuted.

[@user-bk8vm8du9q]

Aren't gargoyles historically and mythologically protectors?

[@PatrickWentzell-jd9gq]

Vego : " listen to me new guy I am going to mess with you everyday by the way shows are untied . " New Guy : " so are we getting that raise anytime soon ? by the way all the damage at the hotel was minimal . " Spiderman : " wow this time the Avengers are not the ones who made a mess in the city . " 😆

[@RogueRail]

11:17 There have been times where I would challenge myself to cause less damage to the ballroom as possible. 1:18:54 Also, I was expecting Egon and rookie to say shut up in unison.

[@chrimsonphantom]

IKR. on a very good run i just singe some of the table cloths and get the walls singed a bit. Seeing the cutscene with everything intact makes me wish that we could have a new ghostbuster game in this style. Where you could have multiple paths, one where you destroy almost everything bringing your cred down. Then one where you cause minimal damage, raising it up.

[@bonetower]

This was great, also amusing watching the sheer panic just melt into sarcastic 'i'm done with this' energy by the end. Also... Extra caffine and Extra sugar, gonna need it.

[@sparrowjones6222]

Fun Fact: we actually do know the Rookies name, Bryan Welsh. Though if it were up to me, it’d be Bryan Knight, to contrast against his common nickname of “Rook”. The old ghostbusters would call him Rook, while any that came after him would call him Knight.

[@Wolffman109]

That would be a pretty cool name!

[@pugtie4695]

38:34 38:38 don't let your kid hear this. 20:06 this was my favorite part by the way hearing him get mad and scared over the situation and not being heard properly. Just comedy gold. Also him being fired from the fire department makes sense they would hire him he would be use to hoofing it in heavy stuff and he's desperate for pay.

[@ranferimondragon357]

Here's some ideas for when you're done with some of your games: Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's World Championship 2011 Over the Nexus. Another KZbinr said it's the best Yu-Gi-Oh video game you never played. Be funny to hear you play card games on motorcycles. Xenoblade Chronicles X. You'll get to fight another evil alien crime syndicate. And you'll eventually unlock and fight with super cool mechs. You can have your kids play and voice Agent 3,4, 8 and new Agent 3 in the Splatoon series. Persona 5 will be very time consuming, but it's addicting once you get the hang of it. And most of the villains will piss you off to no end.
