Did you happen to see the Firehouse during your game testing? Is it how it looks in the films? (For instance, does the garage have the white and green tilework?)

Obviously none of us can tell you what we saw becuase of the NDA. Sorry guys but the game is only a few months away!

We understand we don't wont you to get in trouble or anything but can you give us an general opinion about the game?

I must admit, I find it a somewhat frustrating process when asking about something we know for a fact is in the game and, given it's a question about Firehouse appearance, wouldn't in my mind need to be reserved from discussion by NDA.

True, I don't know all the ins and outs of NDAs, but to an average Joe like me, I can't understand any reasoning why a Non-Disclosure Agreement would restrict you from saying if the Firehouse interior looks like it did in the movies…


Unless of course, it has been changed (more than just the Containment Unit). Which may be why we haven't seen any interior shots in all the promo material that's been released thus far.

My understanding of the NDA is that, what ever I see there of the game, I have to keep my mouth shut. And really these guys have worked so hard on this game, and done such great work, that it would do them injustice to spill any secrets.

And really guys, these people are pulling in 10 to 12 hours each day on the game, and most days even more to provide a true Ghostbusters game. Coming out and yelling all their secrets on a project they have devoted so much of their blood, sweat, and tears on. It's just wrong and shows disrespect to all that they have done.

As Lenny said, “Ok, I got the point”

I just hope everything you has to shout up, worths the whole wait… these months has been the longest ever!!

No doubt that, when the game comes out, someone on here will point out that the windows on the firehouse are the wrong size. (*egon)

Well today was my last day at Terminal Reality, and I have a feeling the last day for the other testers will be coming soon. I gotta say it was a amazing experience, and the people there are extremely nice and friendly.

I'm really going to miss it.

Today was my last day too. The best thing I can tell you guys is that I'm already saving up my money for this game. The builds that I saw were no where close to 100% complete, but I can't wait until I get my hands on my own copy. I was just as impressed as a GB nerd as I was as a video game nerd.

Here is what I am afraid of… Like has already been joked about, some people here are going to nit-pick about the details of the game. No matter how awesome and close to the movies the game turns out, somebody will poke holes in it because something is “just not right”. I'm not thinking of anything in particular, just more of an assessment of what I've seen on this board. Just be careful about getting your hopes up so high that you end up disappointing yourself. Not that the game is disappointing in the least…just sayin'.

Michael pretty much summed up my same feelings, buying it the first day, and if I can I hope to go with the same place as the people from Terminal Reality.

Anyway one thing I am desperately interested to see is the GB DS game. Maybe something will be shown at Austin GDC come September.

*I'll take the blame mostly for that one (*peter) :p …However from all of the footage, and screenshots I've seen over the last 7 months or so have literally blown me away…I've been more willing to forgive certain “graphical errors” than I was back in Nov….

*And even though all the “new additions” to the pack irked me to no end when they were revealed, they are starting to grow on me as did the EGB equipment back in 1997 :-) …

*But having said that, my only two major gripes are the fact that they have neither the “circuit board” device attachment on their belts , nor even the yellow “lifeguard” device from the second movie…Oh and the Firehouse door …

*But in the end all I want is a worthy successor to the films…A surrogate “Part III” if you will…An authentic and true GB experience…

*And so-far it looks like we're getting that in SPADES (^_^) :-) …So no worries (*peter)…

*Cheers.
