Who Gonna Call You? - Ghostbusters Co-Op Mode

Jim "txshurricane" McLaughlin March 3rd, 2009 at 1:15 PM

We really, really, really wish we'd gotten a hold of IGN's question list for their latest interview with Terminal Reality's Brendan Goss before it went live. A two-page article chock full of interesting new Ghostbusters: The Video Game details, the interview unfortunately almost fails at getting new co-op info.

Almost.

Brendan Goss offered this cover-all description of the online co-op in Ghostbusters:

IGN: Can you tell us anything about multiplayer?

Brendan Goss: Ghostbusters does feature a number of online co-op multiplay modes. These are set up as calls around the city that the Ghostbusters go out on.

We can speculate all day here -- and please do -- but I'm about six times more interested now, and I was pretty pumped to begin with. I wonder if any of these "calls" will lead you to an area where waves of enemies attack...like a "Horde Mode"...?

Hmmm...that sounds something like Resistance 2. Instead of the campaign mode playable online, you play a few original missions over and over again.

I guess its better than nothing, though I would prefer the campaign online.

I would prefer a co-op campaign too, though depending on how they do this system, it could be pretty cool.

I know it won't be like this, but forming a virtual Ghostbusting squad with lasting experience and money could be really cool. Say you earn money and experience for each mission, money can be spent on various upgrades or something like advertising. The more experience you have and the more advertising you do, the more advanced or complicated mission types you get to go on. It would add a progression/RPG like element to it.

I can dream.

Holy crap, that which I thought would be highly unlikely is actually true, at least partly!

"Campaign Mode: players work through one of four different environments busting ghosts to earn cash and upgrade their equipment."

and

"Unique Achievements: Players are given scores and ranks for each match that are also applied to their online profile. Difficulty scaling is available according to rank;"

Good call Roland! Im just glad theres some sort of co-op. It sounds interesting, and I like the different options. Im extremely likely to pick this game up now, or at least more so than I initially was.
