Seen@E3: Ghostbusters Ecto-1 bustin' ghosts in front of the LACC
(click to stay puft-size) While walking into the convention center earlier this morning to kick off our E3 coverage in earnest, we spotted what appeared to be the Peter Venkman kartin', ghost bustin' beast that is the Ecto-1. Unable to contain our rose-colored joy, we snapped a handful of pics to show you, dereast reader. Do yourself a favor and give 'em a peek, but don't freak out too much -- we've already done plenty of that for you.%Gallery-64858%
The DS Ghostbusters game is Ecto-cooler
We know very little about Red Fly Studio's DS Ghostbusters game. It'll have more of a business-management component, much like the classic David Crane Ghostbusters, and it'll use an exaggerated graphical style like the Wii game, but we haven't heard much about the experience of playing the game. We now know from a Co-Optimus interview that it'll be awesome in a way no other version of the new Ghostbusters game is."Driving the Ecto-1 is an exclusive feature for the Nintendo DS version of the game," Red Fly's Dustin Dobson said, "although it will certainly play a big part in all of the games." Sadly for the Wii version, there are no plans as yet for a proton pack attachment, as far as Dobson knows. "But whether or not an official pack accessory is made, I am sure custom ones built by fans of the movies and games are going to pop up! I am excited to see what people come up with." Somebody buy one of the movie props and mod it. You guys have money. You can do this.%Gallery-49171%[Via GoNintendo]
Vivendi ain't afraid of no promotion
Vivendi has the right idea when it comes to marketing their upcoming Ghostbusters game. What they did was take this Ecto-1 (which, if you haven't guessed, is the Ghostbuster transportation vehicle of choice) and bring it on down to the local Best Buy to start drumming up attention for the upcoming game. Thankfully, website Ghostbuster Fans was on hand to take pictures of the vehicle (like, a lot of pictures), giving us a glimpse at the whole outside and inside of the vehicle.Hit them up here for the delicious eye candy.[Via Boing Boing]
