The Video Game Remastered Ditched Multiplayer
By
Michael Brandon Ingram
Saber Interactive executive Tim Willits speaks up about why Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered dropped the original’s multiplayer.
Ghostbusters was one of the most iconic multimedia franchises of the 1980’s and its popularity has stood the test of time nearly 30 years after the first film released in 1984.
The franchise has seen two new films in the past decade with 2016’s controversial reboot, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, and the recent film, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The franchise has also received several video game adaptations over the past three decades with many coming in recent years, with one of the most well-regarded being Saber Interactive’s 2009 title, Ghostbusters: The Video Game
The Ghostbusters franchise has seen a major resurgence in modern media throughout the past couple years, especially in the world of gaming. Ghostbusters: The Video Game was a massive success among fans of the franchise, praising its gameplay and the faithfulness to the franchise that inspired it. However, when Saber released a remastered version of Ghostbusters for current-gen consoles in 2019, the popular multiplayer options featured in the 2009 version were notably absent from the updated version.
RELATED: Rocket League Adds New Ghostbusters Content
In a recent interview with gaming news site MP1st, Saber Interactive’s Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits spoke about the reason for the exclusion of multiplayer from the remake of the Ghostbusters game, citing the coding of the original’s multiplayer modes.
Willits said that while the team did look into implementing multiplayer into the 2019 version, the state of the multiplayer code from the ten-year-old game ultimately forced Saber to focus on providing players with a better single-player experience instead of putting time into fashioning multiplayer modes.
Saber Interactive’s struggles related to the 2009 game’s source code are a well-documented obstacle many studios deal with when looking to remaster classic games. Before Blizzard released Diablo 2: Resurrected as a full-scale remake of the classic 2000 dungeon-crawler, the original Diablo 2’s project lead believed a remake would be incredibly difficult due to the loss of parts of the game’s source code. Source code for games often gets lost or deleted over the passage of time, leading many developers to major hiccups when bringing classic games to modern consoles.
The Ghostbusters franchise’s status as an iconic piece of classic 1980’s media has seen the franchise often collaborating with some of the most popular titles in the modern gaming world.
Rocket League recently introduced the franchise’s iconic Ecto-1 van to the vehicle-based soccer game and Fortnite also featured the ghost-busting franchise during its 2021 Halloween event. With a new Ghostbusters game now in development as well, the iconic franchise looks like it will keep busting ghosts well into the future.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.

Our website displays products that are automatically imported from allegro.pl and translated into Russian.
Since we are not the seller of the product displayed on our site, we cannot have all the information about a particular product. Additional information about the goods can be found in several ways:
1. Read the description in detail. Usually all the necessary information is in the official description on the lot page. nine0003
2. If the information you are interested in is not in the description, you can ask the question directly to the seller.
He will respond to you within one business day.
3. If you have a rich experience of surfing the Internet, you may be able to find information about this product in various forums and other Internet resources using global Internet search services.
4. If you do not speak the language or do not want to clarify the information for any other reason, please contact us — we will be happy to help you. In order for us to ask the seller a question, place an order and write down your questions in the comments to the product. During the day we will make a request to the seller, comments will appear in your personal account. nine0003
1.Search by keywords, check the catalog on the left
Suppose you want to find a headlight for AUDI, but the search engine returns a lot of results, then you will need to enter the exact make of the car in the search box, then in the list of categories that is on the left, select a new category (Auto Parts — Car Parts — Lighting — Headlights headlights).
After, from the presented list, you need to select the desired lot.
2. Shorten the query
For example, you need to find the front right fender for KIA Sportage 2015, do not write the full name in the search box, but write the fender KIA Sportage 15 . The search engine will say «thank you» for a short, clear question that can be edited based on the search engine’s results. nine0003
3. Use similar combinations of words and synonyms
The system may not understand any combination of words and translate it incorrectly. For example, the query «computer desk» has over 700 lots, while the query «computer desk» has only 10 lots.
for example, looking for glass on your smartphone, you need to score «glass on xiaomi redmi 4 pro» and not «glass on xiaomi redmi 4 pro». nine0003
5. Write abbreviations and abbreviations in English
If you give an example, the phrase “bmw e65 hub” will give no results due to the fact that in e65 the letter e is Russian.
The system does not understand this. In order for the automation to recognize your request, you need to enter the same thing, but in English — “BMW e65 hub”.
6. Few results? Look not only in the title of the ad, but also in the description!
Not all sellers write the necessary search parameters in the ad title, so use the search function in the ad description! For example, you are looking for a turbine and you know its number «711006-9004S”, insert the number into the search box, select the “search in description” checkbox — the system will return much more results!
7. Feel free to search in Polish if you know the name of the thing you need in this language
You can also try using Yandex or Google translators for these purposes. Remember that if you have unresolvable problems with the search, you can always contact us for help.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered at a Glance
More than 35 years have passed since the release of the first Ghostbusters film in New York, but interest in the franchise theme has not waned.
Our editors have received a new version of the HD game Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered, which was released in October 2019. And in the article we will share our impressions.
Subscribe to the Hardwareluxx VKontakte and Facebook groups, as well as to our Telegram channel (@hardwareluxxrussia).
A 2009 remastered version of the game written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis was released on the Nintendo Switch, via the Epic Games Store for PC, and for the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One. nine0003
Plot
In the game Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered, the gamer becomes a candidate for acceptance into the ranks of the ghost hunters, they will have to fight the dark forces on the same team as Egon Spangler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddmore. The voice acting was performed by the same actors as in the film itself. The gamer will have to capture the ghosts in Manhattan with the help of proton guns and traps. In the game, the ghost hunters will meet many characters familiar from the movies.
nine0003
The starting point of the first mission is the legendary fire station, the base of the Ghostbusters, from which they will head to the Sedgewick Hotel, where a familiar ghost awaits. As the story progresses, ghosts will have to be hunted in Times Square, at the American Museum of Natural History, and even in another dimension. Of course, it will not do without a visit to the New York Public Library.
According to Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, the script of the game is almost the same as the third film in the franchise. It will be interesting to see if the upcoming Ghostbusters: Descendants movie will feature the monsters that are found in the game. nine0003
Gameplay
From the first minutes of playing as a novice ghost hunter, it becomes clear that the proton gun quickly overheats. And it should be cooled from time to time, during such pauses the gamer is unarmed. In capture mode, a weakened ghost should be transferred to a trap. In addition, in capture mode, the ghost can be hit against a hard surface, which will further weaken it.
Not without a PKE scanner, which allows you to detect paranormal activity, infected artifacts and ghosts. Ghosts can highlight the weakest points. nine0003
The Ghostbusters’ weapons can be upgraded throughout the game. You can use both funds obtained from capturing ghosts and found artifacts. Possible upgrades include an improved PKE scanner or a more powerful trap, as well as other forms of proton emitters, of which there are three.
Levels have a linear path that differs little from level to level. Long dialogues can be skipped. In between missions, the gamer can explore the headquarters of the Ghostbusters. In addition to the museum painting of Vigo from the second part of the film, you can find various items related to the franchise. nine0003
Original vs. Remastered
The developers have improved quite a lot, such as proton emitters and locations such as the Ghostbusters headquarters, the New York Public Library, and the characters themselves. But the difference between the original 2009 game and the new HD version isn’t just about the graphics.
Unfortunately, multiplayer support has been removed from Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered. If in 2009 it was possible to hunt ghosts together, then in the updated game you will have to save New York alone. nine0003
Russian language is missing in the new version. Only English, Spanish, German, Italian, French and Dutch are supported. Also, the audio tracks in the Remastered version have been removed. There are no new features.
Conclusion
In 2009, Ghostbusters: The Video Game provided fans with many enjoyable hours due to its many movie parallels. The same can be expected from the Remastered version. Even after ten years, hunting ghosts in Manhattan is not boring. In the game you can find a lot of «Easter eggs», jokes and gags, yet the script of the game was written by the same Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. Numerous details bring to mind the corresponding scenes of the two Ghostbusters films. The developers paid a lot of attention to detail, for example, in the headquarters you can use the legendary fire pole.
