The script for the game was just brilliant. The jokes and call backs to the previous films made the game perfect.

I love the game, but sadly the script is the core thing that doesn't work for me. The callbacks are so over the top that they're practically Family Guy style references. "Hey Egon, remember how you always say print is dead?" And the less said about the paper thin Venkman/Alyssa romantic thruline the better. Rather than a "the actual Ghostbusters 3", to me it feels like a Ghostbusters Universal Studios ride. A "best of" that's very enjoyable, but pretty bad as a standalone script.

Surprised they didn’t add this to the remaster honestly. That being said, this game was FANTASTIC.

I couldn't be bothered to play the game, but I watched a none commentated walkthrough just so I could watch it more like a movie.

Ah memories. I worked on this game in the initial stages of the development. A fun and little known fact. Don't the credits fool you. A lot of people who did a lot of the core work on the game at Vivendi and Sierra were uncredited. Many of the guys who worked on F.E.A.R. also worked on this title as they were in the same office building. Anyways regarding the deleted Parade level, the idea was to have black slime slither up Blinkers Float and possess the dog float, horrifying Ray and making Egon comment about how Dogs were pretty apt Destructors. Egon: -watches two cars go flying- "..Blinkers likes to destroy things I see. ..Like all dogs." Probably my favorite line that was cut. The level involved chasing across rooftops after Blinkers as well as through the street. The hardest mobs I faced while working on the game however were easily the Order of St. Pelican Shriner Ghosts, which were absurdly hard to trap. The end result was supposed to be that the Ghostbusters reached the Mayor at the Parade and defeated Blinkers, who.. soaked Peck in slime from head to toe and prompted his melt down on the Ghostbusters, which later played out at the Museum instead. God Bless ya Harold Ramis. Hope this game, it's legacy, and the upcoming "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" are worthy tributes to you. Pretty sure they will be since a lot of us on the floor knew ages ago what the entire deal was with Ivo Shandor (and I won't say to not spoil the coming movie). We the originals will also always remember how you wanted to name this Ghostbusters III, but could not due to various bean-counters interfering in the game / creative design process, but we all knew your passion for this title and how you considered it the 'capstone' of the trilogy. So to anyone else out there in the world who like me worked on the title, I'll close with this. It was an honor to work with all of you, even if it was a time when Microsoft Sam was saying Shandor's lines (which was bloody ackward). "I. Am. The. Architect. -pause pause- I. am. The. Destroyer." or to try and defeat Stay-Puft with Gas-Barrels or "Flaming Marshmallows". Keep busting ghosts folks. I hope this game and it's remaster were fun to play for you! If they were, then all my late-nights andwork was worth every minute of overtime. Cheers.

Got the Nintendo DS version of the game myself. Really glad that the parade level is included. Of all the boss battles, the turkey balloon is one of my favorites.

I didn't know of the missing parade level until some years later, but I do remember feeling like something was off (storywise) as the parade was mentioned in that news report & I said to myself, "Um, shouldn't the Ghostbusters be there?" On the other side, this is the first I'm hearing of the Gozer's Temple & River of Slime stages. That would've been so cool to actually play those iconic scenes!

Would happily PAY MONEY for any DLC for this masterpiece of a game!

Such a great game. I really flet like I was a Ghostbuster. I love how they took they approached the game seriously .

Coming from someone who has played this game to death, this was amazing to find out! Super disappointed that they never came out with the multiplayer for the remaster.

Great video! I was actually able to test the game at Terminal Reality back in the Summer of 2008, you hit on everything that was in the level. The boss fight was never completed in the version I played, and the only thing you missed was that the painting from the end of Ghostbusters 2 was hanging over the entrance inside of Ray's Occult store. Venkman asks why Ray kept the painting. This was all before they decided to have Vigo in the firehouse. While riding on a float you used the trap on top of Ecto 1 to slam Ghosts into it, instead of it only being used briefly in the early Stay Puff level. You also had to travel through Ray's Occult and onto the roof because the street was eventually blocked. You would go onto the roof, fight a few of the circus ghosts, and then go back down and meet the mayor, culminating in the boss battle. Also one more thing, originally the PKE meter was the one from the movies, and instead the Ghost Dictionary was designed to look like an old book.

I always love to learn the behind the scenes stuff. Bring on the vids!

Hopefully someone can make an all new The Real Ghostbusters game at some point.

@@MaximumCarne : Publisher Data East released an arcade game based on The Real Ghostbusters back in 1987, which did see ports to some home gaming consoles of the era. Despite the game only having three playable characters(which look nothing the cartoon and Winston is absent) and the game itself being a reskin of the Japanese arcade game Meikyuu Hunter G, I have heard decent things about it. Activision also released a Real Ghostbusters video game for the Gameboy back in 1993. Sadly it was not that good. Dr. Peter Venkman was the only playable character and could sadly only use his Proton Pack to break blocks at his feet. Ghosts were disposed of via bombs as you made your way through each level. The game itself was just a reskin of a puzzle game that Kemco and Activision had already published overseas, one version with Mickey Mouse and the other with Garfield. More about it here:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Ghostbusters_(1993_video_game)

Hopefully they release the source code and it can become a passion project to restore/ fill out this content for some talented fans out there. Anything is possible on PC.

Do more of these. Like, a lot more. Ghostbusters behind the scenes knowledge nuggets are awesome no matter the topic.

I will never complain about what ifs with this game. That it exists at all is a miracle.

Super intriguing to see news on this game so long after the fact. Such a well made game. I’ve bought it 4 separate times, helps scratch that sexual itch

Well the level wasn’t a big lost atleast….the main missed opportunity i feel is, they could have had a flashback of “Winstons” first time busting ghost….it would have been nice having a game version of everything from the first film aswell (not the whole movie just winstons first ghost case) as telling a piece of the story everyone would have liked…the problem would just be fitting it into the plot… or it could have just been a story they were telling the rookie before he goes to bust his first ghost…like a training type flash back of them explaining what its like in the field first time out

I did an ENG piece at Terminal reality during college and saw some neat behind the scenes stuff there when i toured the studio. The coolest thing i saw was a Dallas GB in full kit in the soundbooth being recorded as they moved. They wanted the sounds of the pack and the way the clinks and clangs sounded as good as it did. It was a def career highlight and i got to show off the elevator scene at the hotel as a world premiere.

This is one of your best videos, Jason. Sincerely. I’ve always heard about this mysterious parade level but never knew the full details until today. Thank you for this...

You know i just were searching for this and then you dropped. I love you

I want that Thanksgiving Day Parade to be in the Ghostbusters Afterlife Third movie

The beauty queen ghosts now make sense I always wondered why they were in the museum

The fact this was included in the remaster is a crime

This game is AMAZING! Great video, Jason!

dude the cut scenes from the game in the beginning of this video look infinitely better than they do in the actual game lol

I really enjoyed this documentary style of video from Ghostbusters news. Definitely do more!

I still remember the time that my mom took me to the video store and I rented Ghostbusters for the Nes. That was a long time ago. Crazy how video games advanced so much in less than 30 years.

I didnt know there was a switch re-do of this! I loved that game!

Great video! The more inside info we get about the game the better!

I'm still playing this game on my ps3.. love it.. Im a huge ghostbusters fun..

I played the Wii version, the DS version, the 360 version and now the Xbox One version. Man, what a great game!!!

I didn't even know it was still a great game

I honestly think this game deserves a next-gen remake, imagine if everything looked as good (better than?!) as the cutscenes AND includes all the cut content and new multiplayer modes? Also, as a side note, I really hope this is the year that the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade features a Ghostbusters segment of the parade. Imagine the Ecto-1 towing a massive Stay Puft balloon through the streets of New York 🥲

This game (the remaster at least) was my first entry into the franchise when they teased this level I was like FUCK YEAH PARADE LEVEL and then it cut to the last level and I got sad :(

I just started playing this again. I played it when it first came out back in 2009. I bought the remastered version for my X-Box One. Still, a fun game to play!

The ghost buster's 3 we didn't get.

Loved it! Loved this game too! Interesting

I had no idea we were supposed to be getting the Gozer building multiplayer level. What a bummer

One thing that I think would be cool is if they had both multiplayer and challenge mode, where you can play campaigns, trapping ghosts at Gozer's Temple, or the River of Slime, maybe even Ray's Occult, or the parade level, or something like that.

Sounds like there is enough deleted content that if finished, with new cut scenes for a new independent storyline, would make for good "episodes" in a series.

Absolutely love this game. Have it for every platform

Wish this was a bonus level after completing the main game in remaster. Yet at the same time, with all the rage I experienced with the stone angels two shot splash damaging arrows, I'm glad it isn't.

originally had this on the ps2 then again on the 360 and xbox1 brilliant game

In 2009, I bought a ps3 just for this game. And i play it every year after watching the movies. I love this game. I would like to have a sequel or the Parade level. Greetings from Dresden, germany.

I imagined the rookie as tobey maguire when playing. :D

I hate that those levels got deleted I would love to explore Dana Barrett’s Building, the River of Slime, many more it would be awesome for them to add them as “Downloadable Content”

Honestly I’m glad they cut the level because the game does look impressive.

That is my favorite game!

online multiplayer making a come back plus that Gozer Temple and River of Slime DLC stage additions would have been SUPER Dope!!! It’s a shame honestly. Regardless I play GBTVG to this very day. I’ll be waiting for Ghostbusters Afterlife: The Video Game👻🚫🚨

Neat, didn't know that stuff

I can still hope that we get to see the restoration of the multiplayer some day

I wish this parade level was in the game. It would have been cool to have Blinkers the science pup as one of the bosses in the game.

Not that big on multiplayer, but would have so loved having that parade level put back in. Had kinda hoped for it to get back into the remastering...but alas it was not to be

CSB: I have a friend (though we haven't spoken in a while) who was the colorist for a webcomic. The artist and he were contacted by a fan who was working on the game and asked if they could do something for an Easter Egg to the webcomic. He said they were going to put it into Ray's Occult that would be accessed during this level. This was all long before the game had come out and finding out that the level had been cut. They put something quick together but alas, as we know, it never made it into the game.

I really hope there's a VR ghost busters game one day, that'd be awesome,

It seemed implied that the level was cut off in place of the Museum level.
