I have a video of the first 3 mins of the demo I will be uploading soon.
tommorow I will be recording the whole demo start to finish.

the Demo stops after you Trap the first animator in the book depository with the conveyor belts and everything.

on the way there you battle a golem made completly out of books and
you chase the librarian into a room where everything begins to levitate.
Egon and Ray are going back and forth the whole time. you scan the librarian with the pke , she shushes you and flies away. you head down stairs
and then you trap your first ghost , the blue animator one
( which isn't easy the first time you do it , let me tell ya)

How'd you get your hands on a Ecto-1 plate??

how is the demo gameplay-wise?
at first , I didn't know what to do. I started the demo and I forgot I was playing. I got caught watching the ghostbusters talk and wave to the
crowd that was shouting their names. as soon as I realized I had control of the rookie I moved around to see the environment. when I started to play.the controls were easy
( the demo station had all of the controls on it in front of me) .
They went for a feel of simple input , complex output.
I think the coolest thing about the normal proton pack is the boson dart.

how was the proton throwing and trapping?
the challenge in proton throwing is getting a hold of the ghost and stunning it. In short , If you don't stun and slam the damn thing, it ain't going in the trap and I learned this the hard way. the trap is easy to use and throw and is also cordless. You can put it out in advance and It will function all the way up until you trap the ghost.
after the trap catches the ghost , you have to deactivate it and seal the ghost inside ( by walking up to it and pressing the A or X button , depending on what system you have.)

did you blow everything up?
just about :-) I got a bunch of damage fees but, thankfully the money you earn and the money towards damage you cause is separate.
by the end of the demo I had made $40,000

I am so glad that we finally have a date for the demo, it's sad it isnt the whole library level, but unless they changed it drastically, that sounds like a good 20 minutes of gameplay?

Dang inflation. I remember back in the day you could have a ghost captured and contained for only $5000. Plus now I got to have ghost insurance just in case I have a ghost son of a gun.

(Sorry I had too)

When I was doing the testing, the blue animator was the hardest one for me to catch. Once I got the hang of it against that one ghost, it was like I had been playing the game all my life and everything seemed a lot easier (though not easy). Make sense?

I'll be interested to see the videos that you upload to see what, if anything, is different about the demo from the version I played at TR.

That sucks about the discussion time being cancelled. I wonder if they'll still make an update regarding the co-op mode that was planned to be discussed in the forum.

BTW, I was disappointed that in 3 hours of coverage of the first day that G4 didn't mention anything GB related at all. I won't get my hopes up for their day 2 coverage. I'm glad we have our man on the street to hook us up with the info. Thanks a bunch, QZed.
