Our good friends over at Atari just sent us a video showcasing the environments in the upcoming Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime game. A sequel (of sorts) to the main 2009 Ghostbusters game, Sanctum of Slime is developed by Chilean developer Wanako Studios. You might recall their Revenge of the Wounded Dragons game, also from 2009.
A top-down arcade shooter set for release on the PSN, XBLA and PC, Sanctum of Slime sports four-player multiplayer ghost-capturing action and puts the player in the role of a new, soon-to-be-slimed rookie.
From the press release:
“Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is a four player, ghost-busting adventure that will take players on a brand new paranormal experience. Players will suit up with their proton packs and assume the role of a rookie hired by the Ghostbusters to save New York City from a disaster of ghoulish proportions.
The action-packed gameplay progresses as players complete jobs as fearless rookies who explore a series of haunted environments that must be cleared of any ectoplasmic threats. The gripping adventure rages on as players encounter gigantic bosses that require a concentrated effort to defeat using a medley of highly destructive weapons including the Proton Stream, Plasma Inductor, and the Fermion Shock.
Rookie Ghostbusters will face the dangers of the eerie world alone or with a ghostbusting team of friends both locally or online through the game’s multiplayer capability.”

Looks hectic! Hopefully there’s a demo as I’m not sure if it will be great.

im still confused of a Sony movie studio would allow this franchise to be anything other than exclusive to sony…. strange.

Looks a lot like Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Hopefully it’ll be at least as good.

Why do we always have to be the rookie though! There are 4 excellent characters already to use!

That looked like the same gameplay over and over in different locations. Don’t get me wrong I love Ghostbusters, but what is this going to do to be different from any other top-down, dual-stick shooter game?

Wonder if they will allow you to drive the Ecto-1, now that would be awesome!
