360 Ghostbusters is real, first vids of TimeO

We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass! That's right folks, the Ghostbusters game we reported yesterday is a real game in development. That's the good news. The bad news is that Zootfly has hit something of an intellectual property road block in the game's development. In other words, Zootlfy is having some trouble securing the Ghostbusters license. 360 fanboys will still be excited to know that the videos we posted yesterday are indeed from a 360 version of the game, running on a proprietary engine created by Zootfly. Here's hoping they can resolve the licensing issues.

In other news, Zootfly sent us two videos from their upcoming title, TimeO. Zootfly's Bostjan Troha informs us that TimeO is closely related to Ghostbusters, in that it shares paranormal themes and possibly the same engine. The plot is better than your average game as well. Two New Yorkers are trapped in a parallel world in which the city of New York itself is a war machine bent on world destruction (think living buildings). These two brave souls have but three days to stop it. We've got some exclusive video footage (probably not exclusive for long) of TimeO embedded at the top of this post and after the break -- actual in engine footage, by the way. Give it a watch and tell us what you think. Oh yeah, and scream as loud as you can about wanting a Ghostbusters game!

Damn, if only this thing had some sort of "weak point" I could exploit ....

Is anyone else worried that since Sony owns the rights to the movies that they will make this a PS3 exclusive? Since this buzz started has anyone heard anything about a possible GB3?

Who ya gonna call? ZOOTFLY!

Hope they can sort out the licensing probs. I'd be happy for it to be called anything if it was the difference between being published or not.

#1 -- do you actually think the minute amount of press this project has created is actually some sort of "buzz" that's going to create another multimillion dollar Ghosbusters movie? They've been trying to make a third for years, but it never pulls through, and Murray doesn't want to be involved, although a few of the other actors would like to do one.

Like I said -- having seen Zootfly's work before, there was no doubt in my mind it was real and using their own engine. Hopefully they can get the license, but it's very doubtful.
