The ‘sunk into the ground’ Trap was just a regular Trap, all they did was dig a hole in the jogging path.

well I guess they are all the same trap, it's just different configurations.

edit : Ah thanks Michael Scott. I hope you get answers to those lol. Or at least we can get a defeinite answer to that question about looking at the trap.

Hey guys, I live in Texas and I get to be a part of a focus group that tests the new game out over the next few weeks. I'm sure they'll want me to keep from being a spoiler, but anything I see that I can share that won't ruin things, I will.

Let me know if there are any questions or ideas I should bring up to the staff. I already plan on asking about character customization and the looking at the trap issue. Those types of things are probably all I'll be able to share anyway.

Ask about the containment unit, how much it will interact in the game Thanks!


Wait a minute… Michael Scott?? from Scranton??? Another THE OFFICE fan, uh? I love that tv series. :p

Thanks for being a go to for no-spoilery info, Michael. I guess my question is to find out whether or not Van Horne Station that was seen in the second film and has been recreated for the Wii version will be a visitable location in the 360/PS3/PC version of the game. I assume it is, but jut to be sure.

And I'd also like you to let me know if the Firehouse engine bay is as it was depicted in the film with all the white and green tilework.

Off topic, did you write a fan script for Ghostbusters 3 and 4?

Ok, I'll check about the Pneumatic Transit station and the Firehouse interior. And no, no scripts from me. I used to be on this forum a few years back under a different screen name, but I thought I'd start fresh. Michael Scott is the manager from “The Office” (US).

Let me just say that I'll be doing this for several weeks, but only one day a week for just 2 hours at a time. So there are some things you might ask that I won't have an answer for until a month from now, or there's a possibility that I could have an answer by the middle of next week. So don't get your feelings hurt if I answer one person's questions and don't get to yours immediately.

Also, I haven't even been there yet, so there's a chance they put me on complete information lockdown and I get to share nothing. Let's hope not, but if they do, I'll have to honor that, or they'll probably take away my chance to work with the focus group.

Just wanted to get that in there… (^_^)

Looks like some website is linking to that footage I uploaded to YouTube last week, the cheek, they never even said thanks. (;_

Thanks, mate.

I figured I'd ask about scripts, as a guy who went by the name of “M.Scott” wrote a pair of scripts.

Ugh, that's just cheap, but then… the quality of writing leaves much to be desired.

The fact you weren't credited is made all the worse by the fact they call Elmer Bernstein “Peter Bernstein”. Ye Gods, how can these people not do any sort of research? This is even worse than the constant mispelling of “Aykroyd”.

Then there's the fact they obviously missed the numerous reports that Stay Puft is a early end of level boss.

And then there's the rather poor conclusions they've come to on several of the elements from your video.

Yep, I was just having a laugh going through all the replies to that story on there site.

Looks like they don't like the slime guns, saying that it is going to get tedious if you have to stop all the time and fire it around 6 times to move a large object.

Some say it is just a FPS shooter, so can't be that interesting.

Makes me laugh when they have not seen the whole game yet.
There are a lot of people involved in this game including Dan & Harold and I'm sure they will not let a sub par game be released.

Mike,

I have some questions for you to pass on if you don't mind.

1. Will there be a Collectors edition?

2. Will there be a making of on the disc as well as other special features?

3. Will there be unlockables like different costumes or characters to play as for multiple play throughs.

4. Will there be any locations, clothes, art, or ghosts, etc from the cartoons?

Sorry if this was posted, but here's a new video. A lot of it is from the GT video, but there are new areas too. You can actually hear the music, and it's straight out of the movie.

Yep, I posted it on YouTube last week for all the Ghost Heads on this forum, seems to of spread everywhere, which can only be good for us all.

Hey Mike, I did the Focus Group at 2 today. I would really suggest not saying anything really about the game. I know it is going to break alot of hearts, but you do have to sign a heafty NDA before you can even touch a controller.

Also I had a bit of a problem finding the place since there is no sign or anything so if you need any help PM me.

Also, while this doesn't relate to the game, and I don't think it has been reported. But Game Trailers did not do justice in showing off the lobby of the building. How could they miss the ten foot tall Ray wall scroll? Or the ten foot tall Slimer one? Beautiful… just… beautiful lobby. ( Edit and the only reason I am even saying that is becuase you can spot all the wall scrolls from the doorway to the place ^_^)
