Thats pretty desent then, I could afford that in a couple of months at my job.
And thanks to my job, I get free rentals so I can test play games before I buy.

Cool, but yeah, I'm hoping that this just an't a cruel hoax or mod for another game, this kinda brought my mood back up, I really hope that this is for real. ((  And I hope they fix the sliding, though knowing me, I'd buy it anyways, even if they didn't fix the car's constant sliding.)) |

If it isn't, I'll hunt down the person and cause them great bodily harm.

Yeah, really. But I love the Ecto 2's design, hah, it'd defently make a great cars character along with the original Ecto 1. Heh, old and new. Wish I knew what that net thing in the middle is for though. Also, the red paint does so not go with the car, since it clashes with the no-ghost symbol. |

Well Insane, it seems that the team that was working on the Ghostbusters game hit a bit of a snag.
Bostjan Troha, CEO of ZootFly, released this statement: "We are very glad to see the overwhelming response to the Ghostbusters prototype movies. What you've seen is indeed in-game footage of early prototypes on the Xbox 360, running on ZootFly's proprietary engine. Due to licensing issues, further development of the Ghostbusters game hit a bump on the road. But everybody here at ZootFly is working actively on resolving the challenges with the owners of the Ghostbusters IP."
"Part of the ZootFly team is currently working on an original game called TimeO, which is closely related to Ghostbusters. The game follows the adventures of two die-hard New Yorkers. They get trapped deep in the shadow world of a parallel New York. The city itself is a war machine threatening to wipe out our world and they have three days to stop it. As soon as the Ghostbusters IP issue is resolved, the whole team will go back to Ghostbusters."
I really hope that they can get whatever problems that they're having worked out, it was the Ghostbusters game that I was most looking foward too. *Sigh*

Dang it, when we hear about it, they have to go and yank the rug out from our feet.
I hope they are simple fixes, and won't take long.

Meh, I hope as well, I was looking forward to the Ghostbusters game, and if they can never work out the issues with whatever, I'll probably need someone to puppet for me, for quite some time.

Just to clarify, the Ecto-2 is a Chrysler 300C Touring:  According to IMCDB, the Ecto-1 is just a "Cadillac Ambulance". Anyways, although I'm not a huge Ghostbusters buff(I did enjoy both movies when I watched them though), this looks interesting. Good movie-based games are few and far between. |

Oh, thanks for clearing that up, and well, we'll see since Zootfly's hit a snag in making the Ghostbusters game, and they seem to be running into a bunch of idiots on YouTube (they seem to swarm that site). I really hope that they can get these problems fixed.

So thats what it is, its convincing enough to make a desent Ecto 2, I'm starting to like the boxy look of the cars nowadays.

They must've stretched it out a bit cause the Ecto 2 looks a bit longer then the car that you posted Tracker, thats probably why they have those nets in the middle of it.

Yeah, it's obviously heavily modified...but the parts that aren't covered by netting are clearly the same car. And it still makes me wonder why the Ecto-2 is sliding all over the road on that video...maybe ZootFly's next announcement will be "Ghostbusters' newest and most random feature: Drift Racing! Show those pesky ghost cars who rules the streets!"  Agreed...I was watching a video of a drag race in my country a few weeks ago, and people were just posting random racist comments about Arabs. Don't they have anything better to do?  |

Lol, maybe they were just showing off the car's sliding ability, but its like I told those buttholes, uh, I mean people, on YouTube, that those four videos were just prototypes. XD It'd be good to know if I made the Ecto 2 into a Cars character, he'd be able to easily slide that curve at Willy's Butte with no problem.
And yeah, I don't think that anyone there was reading that those were 360 prototypes and not the completed game, but of course, you can't tell those people that, ugh.

Some people are complete idiots, and they never finish reading things.

Thats the truth, and honestly, I don't care what those people say, for prototypes, those videos looked great, I'd like to see them try and make a game that looks that good at a prototype stage. But then of course, I'd like to see them try to make a game period.

And I hope they fix the sliding, though knowing me, I'd buy it anyways, even if they didn't fix the car's constant sliding.))
