Dudda Dah Dah Dah Dah

Kotaku and Joystiq are both running stories on a bunch of cool new vids that have appeared on YouTube that appear to be showcasing a new third person version of Ghostbusters.

Joystiq have links to all four videos and are quietly positive about it, carrying further links to AintItCool and supposed developers ZootFly.

Kotaku are slightly more downbeat, saying it's probably a Gears mod (sounds unlikely to me as there is no released editor for Gears. It's much more likely to be a Source mod or a base Unreal mod if it's an amateur job.)

I would simply love to play a free-roaming Ghostbusters game, especially given the environmental destruction visible in that video. Imagine multiplayer versions, imagine opposing franchises of Ghostbusters competing for business. This game has a lot of mileage in today's gaming environment... the only question is does the enthusiasm of the thirty-somethings who remember GB fondly have enough weight to carry it?
