It's definitely a pleasant surprise! I absolutely LOVE some of the uniform modifications and may actually use a few ideas on my actual uniform

Hope there’s an RGB PKE meter to go with it.I really hope there's a spectral GB skin color with fully smoky glowy eyes and mouth. I don't care if it's an unlock or dlc, I'd be getting it asap. I always thought the idea of there being ghost Ghostbusters going around busting evil ghosts was a cool idea.
Would be cool if they could throw in some Kenner toy colour combos as well, surely wouldn’t be too difficult to so.

Debating whether to stick or switch but would like to know which has the best exclusives? Or will all be unlockable anyway?I don't think we even know what comes with the collector edition yet. Which seems odd to me since we're only a month away from release. I still want it I'm sure but it'd be nice to know what we're getting.

Meter." while the Epic Games page for the digital version says "Digital Pre-Purchase includes Advance Access to Slimer, Custom Particle Thrower & Proton Pack, and Special Clothing Colorways." That's about it we know right now of in terms of differences, what you have advance access to.

Would be a neat little addition.Every time we've seen a demo of the game, it's featured custom names on the player characters. I'd wager it's a stage of the character setup we haven't seen yet.

Digital preorder bonus:
Slimer
Custom Particle Thrower & Proton Pack
Special Clothing Colorways
Physical preorder bonus:
The Basher Ghost
Rare Ectoplast Skin
Remote Trap Vehicle KIT
Special P.K.E. Meter
I prefer to buy digital in general, but the bonuses are way better with the physical edition. Hmm.
One time wrote: ↑September 24th, 2022, 2:48 pm Wouldn’t it make sense that this ties into the new movie in a way?The issue is that the Spirits Unleashed production team, without having any knowledge of what "Firehouse"/"Ghostbusters 4" will feature will have to invent a lot of its own content, which will almost certainly end up contradicting "Firehouse"/"Ghostbusters 4" in some ways... Either in small areas, or honking great big ones. The most obvious one already is the apparent absence of Phoebe, Trevor or Callie (and by extension Podcast, Lucky and Gary)'s involvement in the company being revived.

It's unlikely they'd borrow any plot points or characters from the game as they may tangle up the planned plotlines for the new movie - and they'd also likely have to get permission/a sign off from Illfonic to feature versions of those characters.I think any similarities will be incidental. I'm sure Winston in charge will be misinterpreted as being forced on Illfonic to adapt from the movie whereas we've known Winston being an exec in charge of Ghostbusters has been considered ever since the ending of GB1 and they could taken a cue from that originally.

Wow this looks amazing! I really enjoyed reading […]
