In some interesting nostalgic news of the morning, Variety and other sources have reported that Vivendi Games is working with Sony Pictures to bring the Ghostbusters franchise to the videogame arena. The first title currently being developed by Sierra is set after the events in Ghostbusters II and will launch in fall 2008. All four Ghostbusters - Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Harold Ramis - will be doing voicework for the title and Aykroyd and Ramis will be producing the storyline.
The deal follows Vivendi's success with Scarface: The World is Yours. Here's an excerpt:
Publisher is particularly optimistic for the chances of "Ghostbusters" because, unlike the young male-targeted "Scarface," it has the potential to appeal to children and adults. Developer Terminal Reality is making a "Ghostbusters" game for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 aimed primarily at the core gamer demographic, while Red Fly Studios is making a version for Playstation 2, Wii and DS designed more for families and casual gamers.
