How do you make a mod for gears of war?

Saw this earlier on AICN. Looks so kickass. A darker Ghostbusters game, me like.

Here's hoping they get the rights thing sorted out and get this baby published.


It's not a mod, it's using a proprietary engine.

the video looks kind of boring but I hope for the best

Nice video and there is definitely potential.

However, the company that developed this is still working on securing the rights for the GhostBuster IP... If they fail, then they are going to rebrand it as something else.

Not for the PC ;(

I know a couple of artists on the team. They are very good leveldesigners so that's at least something thats going to go right

No teamwork, no traps. Just looks like a shooter.

 

[Cerpin]

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

So that's how ghosts are busted now; shoot them with a proton beam till they... what... die?

Perhaps they should have thought about the gameplay and subject matter before they started trying to acquire the rights to the licence.

Maybe tbe Ghostbusters actually upgraded their equipment since 1989.

That's just a cop-out. People know Ghostbusters from the films (plus there's no indication that the setting is any more contemporary than the 80s), so if they changed the equipment and therefore the gameplay using that as a reason, then they might as well not bother trying to acquire the rights to develop a Ghostbusters game.

In fact, why are they bothering? It just strikes me as trying to cash in on the licence, rather than being fans and wanting to make something cool. They've changed the setting, the equipment, the goddamn LOGO and the CAR!

You can't anyway. You can't vaporize a ghost with a proton pack. Once you're in spectral form you can only be subdued and contained, you can't be further destroyed.

I'm currently sitting here with one of my friends who's THE Ghostbusters authority (he's like me with Half-Life, just with Ghostbusters...and most of you know how I am about Half-Life). He says it can't be done.

But the game looks pretty cool. I hope maybe if they get the license, they'll decide to include traps. And since GoW has great squad AI, I'd imagine that they'd go ahead and make it more of a team-based game than just a lone ghostbuster going around blasting things. Plus, coop possibilities.

Looks shit. :|

 

[CyberPitz]

Eh...good idea, better be better implimented.....I'm not holding my breath though.

 

[bam23]

Looks boring.

Yea it needs work definately. What would be great is if they used left4dead style coop, and the extra players could be the ghosts. They really need to implement the little box they threw on the ground (forgotten what its called) that traps the ghosts. It would encourage teamwork and definately set it apart from other games.

update:

The recently released Ghostbusters movies from an early-in-development Xbox 360 game have been pulled off the web at the request of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

All references to the game have also bee removed from ZootFly's website. When trying to track down the videos, YouTube greets you with, "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Sony Pictures Entertainment because its content was used without permission." Whoops...

CVG contacted the developer and was told that the videos were indeed removed at the request of Sony Pictures and all references to the game have been removed from its website while negotiations over the rights continue behind closed doors. Fingers crossed Sony doesn't pull the plug, it was looking good.

Very interesting development. I wonder what it means...

Another title (like AC) that Sony might have tried to bill as an "exclusive" only to have it never 100% confirmed? This certainly adds some intrigue to the situation surrounding this already mysterious title.

Ghostbusters + dumbass execs who never got it in the first place = another feckup
