A co-op single player story driven ghostbusters game would be fun to where you create your own character. Rpg would be cool too.
@@VSV9_ nah that would be a 60-70 dollar game. If your asking for a AAA title with a indie price tag; then this game isn’t what you’re looking for.
Yo remember that crappy ghostbuster mobile game that was practically Pokemon where you caught them and then made the ghost fight 😂
Grand theft auto ghostbusters
Honestly, they should do that, or they could even go real weird with the technological uses of ectoplasm and head in the direction of light looter-shooter elements.
@@berthaprieto52 lmao i do remember that mobile game, it was pretty bad 😂😂
If this game had a strong single player component while also including the current multiplayer component I'd be really keen on it. The Ghostbusters universe has heaps of potential. But only multiplayer drags it down for me.
Yeah same.
you can play against bots the reason i wont get this though its a copy of midnight ghost hunt and the people who made that awful predator game made this.. That game got very little updatese and very little people play it now.
Only multiplayer? Thank you that's all I needed to hear
@@arkhamsfinest80 have you not been watching the video?
@@davestar4718 video was loading but this was the visible comment just beneath it
I love the way the ghost designs look very obviously inspired by the old TRG cartoon from the '80's. 😄 It's always fun to see that series remembered in one way or another.
👌
Exactly. This game gives me similar vibes to the cartoon overall. Looks like lots of fun.
The art of the ghosts gives the vibe of meeting a cartoon-ish character
It captures it perfectly
Like meeting bugs bunny
@@gameranxTV sooo still good to go capture a 👻🚫 game in ma neighborhood and if only ma ps4 wifi didn't suck and how much to get a ps5 and ps5 any better.
This game keeps getting more and more free content. I’m loving how active the devs are with updates. Considerably better than when it first dropped.
Yeah kind of the reason why I've been waiting for it to get better and the price to drop now that it's 19 bucks
What’s the player base like? Thinking of getting it
The Ray Parker Jr. theme song of Ghostbusters was indeed featured in the Remastered video game, albeit briefly, at the beginning. Minus the grainy cutscenes, the actual game holds-up pretty darn well on the 5. Personally, the more Ghostbusters through a video game medium, the better I reckon. I miss the Genesis and arcade versions. Shoutout to illfonic for keeping it OG. I wonder if there was a VR game already.
👍🏼
There actually is a VR game on the way, but from the short trailer there is it doesn't really look that great. Plus it looks to be Quest/ PSVR 2 exclusive.
@@barple367 The trailer is all pre-rendered footage and shows no actual gameplay, unfortunately.
However, it is not a going to be a versus game;
but rather, a story driven 4player co-op.
-
But, if it's done well, bustin ghosts in VR will be fun.
@@Olkv3D Wish they didn't resort to a pre-rendered cutscene, makes the game look incredibly bland. at least a demo level of they currently have ready? dunno. Wasn't a huge fan of what I was seeing, certainly not a fan of it being exclusive to quest and PS
@@barple367 I agree completely.
The pre-render is usually a sign that a game is in extremely early development.
I would love to see a single player co op mode where you first start the ghost busting Business and you have to upgrade the fir station, car, equipment, and then you can hire workers. It be cool to actually drive the car out of the fire station to the location but also letting people use quick travel at a small cost
Earnie Hudson is the man! He was barely a second thought in the films, but he is always first in line to reprise his role! Gotta admire actors who aren't above that. I mean, we all love Bill Murray, but lets face it, the dude is a pain in the ass to work with and only does what he wants anymore
Ernie is desperate for any check he can get atm
@@pappysoles9982 you know this how?
“Asynchronous” means players take their turns at different times. Think correspondence chess. The word you’re looking for is “asymmetrical”.
Asymmetrical is in the description. It was probably just an accident that didn't get caught during production. The fact that it still hasn't been addressed, shows how much they care about the content they create. There are other creators that do a better job and actually care. Go watch them.
I've played this game myself and I have a bit of a confirmation that this game takes place after Afterlife if you speak to Ray in his occult store by holding square or x depending on which version you play he mentions Egon's granddaughter Phoebe who was one of the main protagonists in Afterlife now that is really cool so this game is most likely canon to the movies which is awesome.
Afterlife was the worst one somehow. Why would that be cool….?
@@deadschooled Probably not worse than the "Ghostbusters gals remake", but yeah, I don't really understand why people liked Afterlife so much ... it's pretty derivative and for the most part boring, too long, etc.
@@deadschooled I really enjoyed afterlife
It's unfortunate that Ghostbusters: The Video Game is no longer considered canon.
-
At the time, it was practically GB3.
@@deadschooled afterlife was awesome
Wow surprised Jake isn’t reviewing this as I thought he was a huge ghostbusters fan.
Also the creators said there will be more fun stuff coming soon! They plan on working on this game for a while.
Wonder how long that will because illfonic just makes a few quick bucks then dip to another ip.
@@adigames Yeah, first Friday the 13th (not entirely their fault due to IP) then predator felt a little empty, now promises for GhostBusters
@@comicbookbacon8704 nah the lawsuit had nothing to do with the game but they used it to escape having to make more content. It was a good game and my buddies enjoyed it but man like its just terrible.
@@adigames They legally couldn't release anymore content for the game, they had to can it. Jason X was still late in development stages and was on his way to getting released until the lawsuit happened. Dunno if you're fully caught up on it but Illfonic lost the rights to work on the IP.
@@barple367 what I was aware of is that Miller stated that the lawsuit has 0 interest for the game and its development but its more towards the films, he said they can make content for the game and do what they want with it but his big lawsuit was rights for the films.
I wish we got a sequel to Ghostbusters 2009 video game. I’m glad the franchise is getting some attention though.
With coop would be awesome. I thought this game had a coop campaign until I watched this video.
@@jigzyonline2 100% agree
Everytime another game like this comes out I try to remind people how almost EVERYONE slept on EVOLVE being ahead of it's time. Truly an unprecedented level of quality and variety with the different hunters, monsters and their abilities. We all need to understand how quick videos and marketing labels can obscure true art that needs and deserves our attention. I didn't help EVOLVE when it needed me but one day I shall help to rise that glorious game from the ashes and show everyone what the world almost missed
Yeah I really liked evolve
Evolve was super crap and over monetized
Sounds like a bit of a balance issue but overall solid base. It would be really awesome if they built off this to make a campaign, and a boy can dream of it being a co-op one lol
I like the setting of the game, I love the Ghostbusters but I'm not into 4v1 multiplayer games. I wish the 4v1 was just a mode of a more substantial game that also included coop PvE and a campaign as well as more PvP modes like some ghosts vs ghosts 4v4 or 6v6 mayhem or something similar. I think these games are not for everyone and will get boring pretty fast for having only one game mode with a short learning curve and nothing else for variety. Predator was free on PS4 but I only played five games and that was it.
Completely agree. Would atkeast definitely need more PvP modes.
Exactly. This will be forgotten in a month.
I felt the same way but its quite fun once you get into it. I was disappointed by the pvp only but i was pleasantly surprised
This game looks a lot of fun, I do hope they add more Gear, Characters, and maps but so far for a new release game it looks very good.
Thanks for changing the Thumbnail. We acknowledge and appreciate you guys seeing how that could be misconstrued and changing it before people got unruly.
this game is so much fun, I hope it gets lots of support for a long time. illfonic showed a lot of love to the IP
I think you absolutely nailed how I feel about this game. I really like the mechanics, but it feels like a beta for something bigger (or at least I hope). Would love to see some more game modes, maps, etc.
As a person who played Predator Hunting Grounds…don’t hold your breath
Probably gonna be like dbd. Constant updates and bug fixes
i didnt there is a game made after after that 80's movie
thanks for making the video, me being subscribed
cant stop playing this such a fun game and breath of fresh air love it!!!!!
I agree with your points, but honestly I love the underpowered Ghostbusters feel. At the same time, with the right build and knowledge of how the ghost operates, you can feel pretty OP. And most of the nit-picking doesn't bother me! That being said I have the mindset of future dlc in the making; if "this is it," then I'll be disappointed
All in all, this is a great game! I am looking forward to killer klowns next year 👊🏼
👍🏼
Im happy to see a new GB game. I hope this doesnt become a forgotten gem like Gotham City Imposters. Looks really fun!
The game has my interest, but I think I will wait on it a bit. Hope they add more stuff because I'd definitely go for it in that case
This is the first time an ASM game makes total sense for the property. AWESOME IDEA!
I love the fact that the Avatar being created while listening to Falcon narrate, is the closest we will get to seeing his human face.
Can't believe Kootra from The Creatures made this game along with some of the old gang
Is the game asynchronous or is it asymmetrical?
Probably not my type of game, but it looks good! Falcon, thank you. I always enjoy your reviews. Keep it up.
Will do. Thanks
I feel like games like this need to build to last, so im hoping the devs have content planned to keep things going....love the review
The only content games like these add are maps and characters. It's usually one mode and that's it. I'm sure that'll happen here, considering Predator and Friday the 13th are behind them
The problem with building games that are 'built to last" is that there's not enough players to sustain them.
There are already way too many games that are built to last aka "live service" games that has an iron grip on players' psyche, time and wallet that you can't possible expect to have more free players to sustain more of these games.
I absolutely am enjoying this game, And I agree I think there should be More story element with Co-Op. I haven't come across any bugs and I'm playing on xbox series S.
I started playing day one. I’m not good, but getting better and I love it!
👌👍🏼
I must say Gameranx is my FAVORITE UA-cam channel when it comes to video game reviews and the part that I enjoy the most is you’re not necessarily giving the game a rating you’re just giving us things to think about and that might be important to the casual or hardcore player and I appreciate that, thank you.
love it I hit L100 and i still playing. I don't know what i like more ghost or ghostbuster both are fun
I just started and I’m hooked
Currently on a dev team working on a game similar to this. Very interested in hearing the responses so we can try and learn from Illfonic. The big difference is we have 4 ghosts and 1 human and the ghosts are the ones that do a ritual
PLEASE PLEASE THINK AB A STORY MODE ALSO PLEASEEEEEEEEE
Campaign please
Honestly what I’m really looking forward to is Texas chainsaw massacre because Friday the 13th was the perfect game in this genre for me the amount of fun I had that summer was unreal and unfortunately everything that happened with the rights so they couldn’t add anything to the game and it ended up dying that all being said I’m really excited for their gun medias next title
Friday the 13th was awful lol
@@longlovesretro I’m sorry you had that experience friend
@@longlovesretro but prime Friday 13th was fucking hilarious and honestly some of the most fun I’ve had gaming with friends
@@MOH717able ya when it came out it was great. I tried to play a match yesterday and jason was teamed up a councilor. Just fucking about not doing anything. The games so past dead now. This game will have a similar fate...probably sooner than later. At least the progression in friday the 13th lasted more than 8 days. I got the platinum trophy, have everything unlocked and have almost zero reason to keep playing it lol
I want them to add an Endless mode where you take on an onslaught of ghosts and see how long you survive.
Loving it so far! Looking forward too a giant Michelin tire man… or was it a smores man.. i dont remember lol but either more ghost and I’m happy!!
I hope they will make dlc for it because it's a great game just needs more stuff in it
I appreciate the honesty, as always....I was on the fence about this, because Asymmetricals get boring really fast for me......but knowing how solid this game is (and even though it's really short), I think, while it's limited, it sounds worth the $40, as if there's enough of a player base, I would believe, the developers would make a ton more content for the game
Whenever I see games like this, I think of Evolve and how that game promised to redefine the genre with its asymmetrical 4 hunters vs 1 monster. The irony is that game was so bad that it died out super fast, but ever since then we keep getting these asymmetrical games like Dead by Daylight.
this game is not worth 40 bucks lol, these should be budget games cause of the lack of content and you know they are gonna put out a season pass in the next month as well offering things that should of been in the final game already
@@longlovesretro Right. Like third person view for the Ghostbusters. 🤣
These type of games aren’t worth $40. Most of them have little to no content.
IMO a $20 price line is more fair for its value. Or free with monetization (skins, battlepass, etc or whatever they decide)
The old ps3 Ghostbusters was a great great game we need more of that
0:37 The Ghostbusters Theme (Ray Parker Jr.) was at the opening titles and ending in the 2009 game and remaster
It was there but only for like 10 seconds, it’s like watching the stripper but can’t touch
@@Patrovisch yeah, and I looked in the files and there is no audio file for it, it’s only in cgi cutscenes
It does look fun, and honestly, I'd love to give it a shot.
👍🏼
I didn't think this would float my boat at all but I'm very tempted now
They should add a story mode from the perspective of a ghostbuster and ghost
The price point to content ratio is the only thing keeping me out. I enjoyed Predator: Hunting Grounds and liked that they still updated it and released DLC characters. But I wanted more maps and objectives to play. If I recall, they added a TDM like mode and some stuff for that. And then way way late after everybody quit playing they added night variations to the maps.
Hi I got a question to play the multiplayer in Ghostbusters Spirit Unleash do I need the PS Plus
It's the best Ghostbuster game i have played you feel like a Ghostbuster so I hope they keep adding to the game. Loads from the films and real world supposed haunted locations they could add. id like to walk around a old British castle or something with my proton pack lol
How do you queue as just the ghost? I always get a buster when I do in the ghost realm
Funny enough I saw this was coming out like a couple years ago and haven't heard anything since. just hearing about it again
One thing I’m starting to notice in new asymmetrical games that’s pretty unfortunate but the survivor role, or the ghostbusters in this instance seem to just be there for the more fun killer/ghost to just terrorize. I know dbd has a mixed bag of reviews but I still feel like that game does the survivor role the best
Because DbD was (or still is) for 90% of its life time heavily survivor sided, to the point where you only needed to be "decent" to heavily outperform the killer's role. Played it since release (PC). Have no idea how it is going right now, as I haven't played it for a few months, like 4.
That's not a good thing either. Balancing an assym game is quite a feat. Probably impossible. One of the sides will (usually heavily) demolish the other one depending on the version.
What Ghostbusters really need is an action open world RPG Single/Mutliplayer game
If I had a say that would be awesome
I wish I had the impulse money to buy it, because $40 ain't bad, but also curious to see if it'll still be popular by the end of the year. I imagine you'll get a kick out of it, but it'll get old fast if you're only able to jump in with random people.
this is a game where if you have the right friends you can play for a long time
Hell yeah brother
Loving the game, strangely I prefer playing as a Ghostbuster
Say whaaat?!
is this only on PlayStation? I don't see it on my Xbox app or PC (using steam app)
I like the way the ghost gameplay looks, reminds me of Mimic ability in Prey!
If this comes to Steam, it´s gonna be an instant hit.
Also, the lack of game modes are not always a bad thing.
Battlefront 2 had a shit ton of game modes when it launched and I never played more than a couple of them, because the other ones were always emty.
Meanwhile, League of Legends tried ADDING more game modes like Dominion and it didn´t work.
People like the main map and ARAM is just a side thing people do for fun.
For me personally I’ll be buying it because I’m a huge fan. But I’ll be buying it for PC. Because on console I’ve noticed that for the first few months it’s easy to find a match. Then as time goes on it takes for ever to start a match. Usually it’s easier on PC to find players to match with as time goes on. That’s my thoughts.
its crossplay it doesnt matter what u have
Fyi I think you meant asymmetric as asynchronous means at different times.
Love yall❤
Would definitely try it out like on gamepass or something looks fun not sure I'd drop 80 though on it
*40
Hahaha learn to count first before you tackle money
It's $70 here in Australia.
Maybe Dean lives somewhere outside of the US?
Just a thought.
@@LesNos4r2 then dean should specify the currency. Just a thought.
This is an American based channel. So.
@@Jaekization, cool story.
Needs more dragons.
I suspect cost is also to cover the license for Winston, Ray and the song
Are you doing a before you buy for new tales of the borderlands please
Are we ever getting multiplayer for Ghostbusters remastered?
is this split screen multiplayer or online only?
Buying as soon as it goes on sale! 50$ CAD is to much for this little content! But it does look extremely fun to play with friends tho!
looks like it'll be funner in a few months once they release more content. i hope that game takes off. GB needs some good oomph in the gaming industry. it really looks delicious. im gonna be stuck on GK though.
Looks good can’t believe Kootra, Aron and Joe former CreatureHub/Cow Chop members were a part of this. Good job on the lads
game is now half price with twice the maps and more ghosts and stuff. saw it on sale for 12 bucks too
Have the game got it pre-order. you are right not a lot of content and the story is short but I'm hopping they just put put a 99% working game to have it out and upgrade and add later. The Dev's seem to be pretty active on twitch and love there own game and there is a active discord right now. Would have rather had it on steam rather then twitch but it's a nitpic on all the launchers I have to have.
Is there a private match option? My friends and I play Dead by Daylight but only in closed match private lobbies. If this game has private match option I'm sure I can get them on board.
Not to nitpick the great, Falcon. But there are more than 5 ghosts. There are 5 types of ghosts, with each type having 4 different kinds of ghosts which have different special abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
When I got the new video alert I was hoping it was a before you buy for Gotham Knights. This interests me too though. But I’m patiently waiting for the GK one fellas!
If this game was more like Phasmophobia, a PvE experience, it would’ve been phenomenal.
Is this game going to run at least 20fps on my GeForce GT 1070?
Love the game. Hopefully like they're Friday the 13th game they'll continue to add more
They left that game with still bugs and issues and left it to gunmedia. They left because of the Friday lawsuit and used it as a scapegoat to leave the game and then went onto ruin the Predator franchise and now Ghostbusters.
@@adigames This game is way better than Predator Hunting Grounds though
@@user-rh5rz6nd4p I havent played this game but from what I have seen it's gonna be a while before i'll even attempt to get it, the game needs major dlc and content, they always release their games with the bare minimum and then add stuff later until they dont feel like supporting it.
If Harold Ramos was still around. It would have been great if he was in charge instead of Ernie Hudson to give it an Extreme Ghost Busters vibe
i always come to your channel for game reviews. keep up the good work
Could you do an updated review of this game? It's on steam for roughly 22 dollars now, and it has more content, and it also has a story that unlocks the Overlord ghost class when you complete it. :3
did you mean asymmetrical rather than asynchronous?
is the game cross platform i didn’t hear if you said that or not😅
I would love an Evolve 2. This and the new DBZ game I will have to play eventually.
Evolve 2? Jesus. No, dude. Just… no.
I really want to try this game
What does asynchronous mean in the context of a game?
Video 54 of asking if you could do a before you buy on midnight fight express
I love the look of it, it does look really fun!
But I've been on the fence about it because I wasn't sure how much content it would come with, with the prices as the are in the UK at the moment I can't warrant buying a game I'll probably drop off from after a couple weeks if it lacks!
But maybe in a couple months I'll grab it!
It was just a dam shame they never put the multiplayer in the Ghostbusters remastered.
Gameranx never fails!
Falcon, you're a hero 🦅
So far I only played 3 matches so far bec a work day lol. My first matches the ghost one bc everyone I was matched with was still learning the game
Looks alright but I would have preferred a good Single Player experience like the PS3 and 360 game that came out before.
But you know how it goes by now, we give you some pros and cons with some gameplay, and now we wanna hear your thoughts in the comments down below (sorry, I felt something was missing).
Turn it on its head...
4v1 (4) ghosts versus (1) ghostbuster!
Give the ghosts more personality by allowing for a dynamic customization...
and have the ghostbuster be with more of the power up and toys!
I'm always shocked when asym multiplayer games like this don't drop day one on PS Plus or Gamepass. Would be a huge move for the player base.
More weird considering Sony own the entire Ghostbusters franchise as well as the gaming license
I just tarted Ghostbusters Remastered.....Have you any idea the havoc I wrought at the Sedgwick Hotel 😂 'Don't cross the streams!!!!!' The problem with that game is it doesn't sync on devices so I kept it on the deck. And you gave me an idea for my Halloweeney rington...'Ghostbusters'....it never gets old. Getting my dock today so I can hook the Deck to my TV yay!!!! The crap I'm getting to go with it are costine me more than the Deck itself lol....sd card....case.....dock....new Xbox X/S controller so I don't need to monkey around with the other controller....cables...true they don't cost much but can you really be sure you have enough!!!!!
a perfect use of the theme ^^
Sounds like the game released in an early state on purpose with a few year contract to keep working on the game.
Maybe they could introduce a wallet with a cash indicator so that you can break stuff. Almost as if you’re being fined for the damage.
The more expensive the item, the higher the fee. So you can more freely smash stuff but have a limit. Put in perks to increase your wallet.
there already is a property damage amount on the hud.
I'm pretty stoked for this one
Is it basically Midnight Ghost Hunt?
I caught a ghost all by my self I Also have the rtv kit for the trap it was special with the game
Asymmetric not Asynchronous, well depending on the ping atleast cuz everyone should be synced pretty much the same in these games.
I'm buying it now. I hope ilfonic will give free updates/dlc for those who purchased early.
They’ve mentioned about a ton more free dlc dropping this year. Mainly just maps and ghosts though.
i just got this game and i have two friends that has it and thay want me to play with them and its a cool game
I definitely like the game but it needs more game modes. If the only plan is more maps and ghosts then I don’t see this game having a long future sadly.
