Dear Reader:
Ghostbusters: The Game dev interview - DS game is the only version to let you drive Ecto-1, could we see a Wiimote accessory pack?
A portion of a Co-Optimus interview with Dustin Dobson, Creative Lead from Red Fly Studio…
Co-Optimus: I need to know…can I hold a ghost while my buddy “sets the trap” in split screen co-op? Will there be a co-op driving sequence with the Ecto 1?
Dustin: Two players will be able to work cooperatively together in a variety of ways throughout our game. Certainly one player can wrangle and slam a ghost around while the other player sets a trap. Or they can wrangle the same ghost together wearing it down quicker while another Buster readies a trap. Solving puzzles, discovering collectables, and taking out bosses will all be great challenges that will be very enjoyable when sharing with a friend.
Driving the Ecto-1 is an exclusive feature for the Nintendo DS version of the game, although it will certainly play a big part in all of the games.
Co-Optimus: Are we going to get some plastic proton pack accessory for the Wii? I might actually buy that.
Dustin: Great question! I have not heard one way or the other for sure. 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.
