What do you think of Ghostbusters VR?
Still going to get the game on day 1 but at least I’m well informed now. I appreciate you Nathie!
This looks incredibly off-brand. Total waste of the IP.
For a $50 game, I think you were way too soft on your critique. It looks they took a popular IP AND created a lazy cash grab.
Dont be afraid to be harsh when reviewing games. New VR gamers deserve a good experience for their first purchase. I'd adamantly steer people elseware if I were in your shoes.
This video convinced me to avoid it :)
Thanks for the warning.
@@SimplestUsernamethe game is 35$ if you dont want the extra stuff
It's almost exactly what I was expecting. I just didnt think it would only be arena style combat, I figured there would be actual levels that you progress through in a run.
With arena type levels it becomes a kind of wave shooter like Marvels United. What's so hard about creating levels that you progress through? One developer was able to do it for Vertigo 2. And I also suspect that it gets boring because there's no real difficulty. You go down and your friend revives you. That kind of no risk game gets old fast.
That's what really turns me off from a lot of VR games. I'm getting tired of area/rouge-likes, I want full story with different levels.
Tbh it will be fun like blades and sorcery
@@heymomm1922propogation paradise hotel is a full on survival horror game with areas, locked doors, puzzles, optional exploration
It’s only about 4 hours long though but it even has scripted events
@@GizmoMaltese yeaa ur right but I just love playing it it's quite fun imo
Dude its Ghostbusters and Columbia pictures is actually involved so here crossing my fingers this is good
Have you seen the video? It's finished product, so nope...And btw never trust big corps. this days.
Can't believe the last Ghostbusters game I played come out nearly 39 years ago on the spectrum
Looks awesome, wasn't feeling at first but now I want it
I think this mostly depends on what you are looking for. If you want a arcade vr party experience, you might enjoy this game but if you want an extremely realistic vr campaign, you might not enjoy this game as much.
It’s almost a full price game …that’s too much money for a repetitive party game
Not the Ghostbusters VR I was hoping for, that's for sure. I mean, just make Phasmophobia with more stylized ghosts, set in NYC and the ability to use Ghostbusters equipment, that's what I want. More of an investigative, creepy experience but with the GB movie style.
I can’t wait for this game to come out!
We need a Luigi's mansion type ghost busting experience
People are always mad “why vr?!” But honestly you’d never get the same feeling wrestling the ghosts on a flat screen. Using your hands to multitask in game is so fun.
Thank you for your review. I absolutely agree.
I’m stoked for this
I was hoping a bit of a 'crazy taxi' game kind of vibe to drive to the reported ghost scenes
Honestly, with all of the negative reviews, I am hyped for the game. I think it will be a fun game to goof around with other friends who are fans of the franchise while slinging traps and wrangling in ghosts with our particle throwers.
@@michelverheijen6643 Huh?
@@michelverheijen6643 No, it's mainly because I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan and the thought of shooting my particle thrower while throwing traps with friends as we wrangle in a Class V Full-Roaming Vapor just sounds fun.
@@michelverheijen6643 I mean, in every game we haven’t been able to drive ECTO, as you mentioned the commodore had it but from my memory we were only able to drive it in the old NES, C64 game. Also it is more of the fact just being able to wield the particle thrower and trap in person, why is it such a big deal that you must prove me wrong? I like it and you don’t, to each their own.
@@michelverheijen6643 Groundhog Day got a VR game?
@@michelverheijen6643 That’s fair, I do wish it was more in tune with the movies but I’m still open to see what it entails.
I agree with you. It is not the game I was hoping for. Thanks Nathie! I’m mad you didn’t get a Connect invite as well!
I would have loved to see him there as well, but he is not posting like he use to. META probably feels like he is losing interest.
If the devs call the proton pack a wand we maybe in trouble but I'm willing to give it a chance just want to see some quest 3 footage first or I'll get it for osvr 2 then. Or pc
I was expecting something like After The Fall kinda gameplay (different levels to go through in co-op, earning cash to upgrade tools/weapons). I still enjoy After The Fall a lot after almost 2 years. How do you compare Ghostbusters with ATF looking at gameplay and replaying?
After the Fall is dope.
It won’t let me edit my comment but yeah it is a bummer that the game is what it is since a lot of the fans are older now since we grew up watching ghostbusters as kids. But that’s why I will also be purchasing it because it’s nostalgic and something to mess around and good off with with friends. Thanks again for the viddy bro!
Is Greg Miller from Kinda Funny a party of this game? He has been a voice acter in the last couple of games.
With the game being based in SF, made me guess he was probably involved in some way
I just want to know are there any jump scares in the game and if so how meny
Can you please tell me what slimer hunt is?? I cant find it anywhere!!
These environments need to be darker with some more of a creepy atmosphere, add in some of the classic iconic spooky background music from the movies.
iam waiting for some arizona sunshine ghost busters sounds a little bit pants
Glad to hear honest opinions.
Hmm it looks alright I guess. But yah it cou;d've been a lot more, with tense exploration in buildings and other environments, only to be confronted with an actual kindof scary ghost, as well as the fun ones like the slimer.
This seems a little too cartoony, andnot being to drive the Ecto one is such a missed opportunity. They should've started by modelling a partion of S where all the action takes place, have you be able to walk places and drive places, and take it from there.
Yeah visuals remind me of the old 80s cartoon of "The Real Ghostbusters" though even that had some designs that were pretty creepy
for me the game comes out in 1 hour (i cant wait to play it)
They planned dlc before releasing the game when it should have been part of the game to begin with.
Yeah we get it. You have no idea how production works and everything should be given to you for 60 bucks. Even though that price point itself is why they plan DLC. Entitles gamers are the worst.
@@evilsWa some dlc is totally worth it
It's almost like After the fall but ghost busters
If i dont find out what slimer hunt is then im afraid im going to cancel my pre order ;(
Can quest 2 crossplay with psvr2. Or is it only quest 3 that crossplays? On this game.
Well composed thoughts on Ghostbusters, Nathie.
For some free laughs, grab a VPN and try Haunted High in Horizon Worlds.
new to vr here, why does the image "bounce" so much? is that normal or is it how he stands/looks around? very confused. I had an oculus developer kit but that was the last VR I've tried and it was NOT GOOD. I struggled with things like motion sickness or headaches. is that an issue now with modern vr? I want to get into vr but I'm worried I'll puke every time I boot a game up...
The image bounces because it's the POV of his headset. No person can stand perfectly still. So yes, it's how he stands and moves his head, and not the actual game. It's not like that in VR.
The Oculus Developer Kit had a screen resolution of 720p and had issues with refresh rate and comfort. It was simply a concept. The lenses were also low quality compared to today. Any modern VR headset is better than it. For comparison: Imagine modern VR as the PS4 and the Development Kit as the N64. It's a giant leap.
Motion sickness and headaches have been significantly reduced and now most people who are new can play comfortably. Most games even include comfort settings just in case.
@@DiamondDepthYT thank you!!
The game looks cool and interesting especially since you can upgrade your gear however the $55 price point is what kills it for me, I just dont see this as a game that should be valued at that price range and like Nathie said with only 4 maps I can see where you can get board pretty quickly with it.
It's not 55 dollars that's the full containment edition it's normal edition is 35 plus tax
Are there NPCs with dialogue?
Do you “sap’em, cap’em, trap’em”? When catching ghosts?
If it is canon, what year is it set in?
I’m ok with not riding in Ecto-1, but I wander, why is it parked here and not in NY?
What about motion sickness? Doe sit have a Motion sickness setting?
Not bad. Thanks Nathie.
How replayable is the game after the campaign?
I've played this game, but it's quite repetitive. What this game needed was a story mode for several hours which should be played solo or with a team.
The multiplayer feels like something extra thrown in, but with this game that's all you get. With these kind of games you can play until the servers go down.. Story mode lives forever.
Nathie, do you believe the DLC or single player campaign will be enough to recommend the game?
Depends how you like to play your games. The campaign was designed with multiplayer in mind so personally I would like to experience it that way. I don’t know what its like alone but I dont think its going to be as fun as joining up with 3 friends. Afterall this is a Ghostbusters game. Regarding DLC no one knows the exact details on this and how good this extra content will be.
@@nathie, I appreciate the review and all the work you do. Thanks for the info. I’m definitely going to get the game but I’m going in to it well informed!
60 dollars lol. Screw that.
@@oRealAlieNowhy?
Seems pretty damn expensive for what it is.
Bummer. I was looking forward to this but not at that price
Awesome
Same thing was said about hellsweepers lol, bruv, hell sweepers amazing, devil may cry VR....just give us GTA San Andreas 😜
should play some WarRock Nathie xD
They had it easy. They just had to take the remaster of the 2009 game and VR it, that's all they needed to do. They had it so easy, yet they screwed up so much.
This game looks really fun!
Still getting it😅
Do you have official permits for this equipment? I don't think that you do. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to shut this operation down.
*hides*
I personally thought we can customize our character.
That’s what I thought as well. It would of been nice if you were able to choose your own ghostbusters outfit and headgear.
Agreed
I have ghostbusters on my VR
Funny how the dev doesn't sound very exciting.. :)
I’ll buy it for only $10
Your comments are on point likely. However, keep in mind you’re asking for what psvr2 can do, but they’ve made it for meta as well. Which can’t do what psvr2 can
Was hoping for mechanic where you had to wrestle them into a trap before they try and escape the proton beam! But it looks like as long as you line it up they just drop straight in. Slightly disappointing. Another query - does your equipment overheat so you have to manage when to cooldown before trying to trap them?
if it overheats i think you press a button and it deals more damage or something
Thanks for the video, definitely not my cup of tea. I thought it would be an adventure, not an arena combat type of game with timed missions, which I absolutely hate. Hard pass.
Miss a pcvr version...
10 minute gang
also why don't you play new vr games?
edit: (also why are subtitles off?)
this game isn’t even out yet
so will it have a HUGE player base at launch or is it not very well known@@nathie
@@nathiebut how can you progress in the story whit a friend? Doe it mean that you can't play alone?
Ghostbusters vr should’ve done something to be a competitor to phasmophobia. Would’ve been more interesting to have a proper ghost hunting system, or make it a vr version of the game with the original cast.
It’s too be bad this is just a branded cash grab
The absurdly oversized enemy health meters, why? Just why? Really breaks the immersion
it should have been a scary game with hints of humor here and there like a resident evil type of game. instead, this reminds me of Fortnite with proton beams.
😢 i was hoping the best for this game.... 😭
Dungeons of Eternity is a waaaay better choice imo.
I played the original 2009 ghostbusters video game, this looks somewhat similar not by graphics but by gameplay mechanics such as upgradable equipment and the damage crosshair.
The vr gear you use never use much movement and what you expect they have game that are short or bad graphics but the programmer take their time only to take complain from you guys i respect programmers for making a game like that you cant make a good pie without time and practice
If your in San Francisco it’s not ghosts you have to worry about .
When i get rich im moving there.
You wont regret it, it's absolutely gorgeous here. You really only find trouble if you're looking for it
Yes...everything I was worried about. Just another run out of the mill arena waveshooter. On top of the look there are not many things that feels "Ghostbusters". Sound was bit quiet but the whole video I didn't get a single Ghostbuster vibe. If going the cartoon look why not making it based on "The Real Ghostbusters" along with the iconic ghosts they had in the series. Definitly a pass for me on release.
Because they didn’t want to spend money on rights to those characters….that’s how game designers are nowadays…getting rich from selling crappy games for way to much money
Thanks. For someone who liked the Ghostbusters video game (which was actually ghostbusters) this looks like a massive missed opportunity. The game costs way more than other quest games. Did the license cost so much there was little left. Speaking as someone who worked on many an IP game I get where this is coming from but it's so sad to see such an iconic IP so erm... re-invented. I was hoping for a good story with nods and easter eggs to the IP. This just looks dull and boring. Why have they taken all the fun out of it. Something is very missing and it could just be a standard ghost hunter game. Really disappointed. :( How to make me completely u turn on my excitement. Guess Stranger things will make the list and this will wait for a sale.
I feel like it was less they didn’t do what they could have, more that they weren’t comfortable with making more of a fully fledged experience, nDreams (as far as I can tell) is more used to making wave/arena based games.
rw:@11:35 i like her already ^_^
What is this think ill save my money
correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like a "pay to play" game or will become one.
I don’t see that being their goal but its definitely going for a live service model
Oof. Just as I feared. Your honesty is well appreciated as always sir.
#cellphonegame
Thanks for the review. I love Ghostbusters but am disappointed with what I have seen of the game. It looks similar to After the Fall. Love the boots Nathie!
🙏🏻
I enjoyed After the Fall at launch with friends. Then I went back to it recently and it was dead. And not in a contextually appropriate manner.
No PC love? The PSVR2 is closer to PC capabilities than Q2. I guess they scaled the game down to cater to kids.
Not releasing on PC is a red flag.
This is for kids/Quest Casual audience.
@decadent. No it's not when a pc vr game doesn't come to quest you're fine with it but when a game doesn't come to pc its a kids game? What a laugh
@@PaulDoyle-jq2ck I mean, yeah. That means the dev dumbed-down the graphics to be within the capabilities of the Quest.
@@PaulDoyle-jq2ck
What I mean is that the quest audience is generally younger. PCVR skews towards middle aged guys like myself :)
Yea, not going to lie, I had a bad feeling about this game the second I saw it months ago. Just something about it screams mediocre at best to me. Going to be a pass for me.
thx for your review.... its in line what I have heard and thought about the game already... there was much more potential to it for sure! There are not at all take usage of the real/full franchise (playing as Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler,... having "Slimer" as a kind of a buddy in the HQ.... WTF :-(
Game was made for 10 years olds to enjoy.
What are those 😂😂 those boots make the video 😂😂😂 could care less you paid thousands too 😂
what a shocker!!! another psvr 2 that underdelivers!
they really downgraded this for the quest 2.
We need a Half-life Alyx graphical 4 player co-op game.. this cartoon stuff doesn’t do it for me.. at least look like Arizona Sunshine
Half Life Alyx wouldn't look like that if it was a 4 player co-op game.
@@sarahwhite7098 well it definitely wouldn’t look like this 💩… Hint Arizona Sunshine🤓.. They took Ghostbusters VR and turn it into kids play.. No kinda thrill or scariness about it, just some Nickelodeon 🪿🥚 of a joke. Flop just like that Ghostbusters movie with the female cast🤦🏾🤷🏾💩💩💩
@@UstinkOfFea3 Arizona Sunshine is a better comparison. You just can't take Alyx as best in class PC VR and think you get multiplayer for free AND it'll work on Quest.
Ghostbusters the video game VR on quest for the win. Just remake / remaster the original game that was much more fun than this.
Don’t get me wrong it looks interesting, but personally I rather pass on this game and get ac nexus instead.
感觉有点单调
Those gotta be the worst shoes ive ever seen
Welp, glad I saw the gameplay footage. Looks like crap. Nothing like what I hoped.
Am I the only one annoyed by the fact that characters don't have their own (even fake) shadow? It looks like they're floating in the air...
They blew it I was expecting something close to the movies👎
Yo
I’m a huge PSVR2 fan and have many games but for over $50 USD I’m going to pass…it’s too much money,looks repetitive and the graphics look like another lazy game designer was working for them and cares more about getting rich from mediocre games…nope..I’m gonna pass.
Simple cash grab. This game should have been a single player Campaign story for Generation X.
Does gen x do anything but complain?
Looks like a lot of fun. It's sad they didn't make it for real VR systems.
Alright, if you're a die hard fan of Ghostbuster's, you know Spirit's Unleashed was a disgrace of a game and Bill Murray would agree, this is far worse looking than Spirit's Unleashed, this is sad to see game devs sell out to the Gen Z's..
What was wrong with Spirits Unleashed? I didn't play it for long (10-20 hours maybe) but I thought it had good atmosphere and authentic firehouse and Ray's Occult Books. The 4v1 was a neat idea - worked for me regardless of which side I was. Only thing...the upgrades didn't mean so much. There was a grapple hook, I think, but otherwise it's minor adjustments on the base kit.
@@sarahwhite7098 I agree that it's not terrible and proven to be fun, I clocked in a good amount of hours myself. It's the fact that there is a lack of maps losing replay value, being level 68 leaves not much to desire. The true Ghostbuster game/experience is the Ghostbusters Video Game, I played that like it's the third movie. I'm a huge fan of GB, so it's sad to never have a Ghostbuster game like it with even multiplayer adaption. Still, it'll never be the same without Ramis on the team..
@@ResTheRemixer Yeah I get you. I grew up in the 80s. My dad and I used to watch it regularly. He's not with us any more and when I saw Afterlife I was in floods at the story so close to home.
The Ghostbusters video game was great - it had multiplayer in it, but not the main missions as I recall. Had a sort of Gears of War feel probably because of the time. But retrod familiar locations and of course had the original characters.
I quite liked Spirits Unleashed because it felt pretty authentic to me - the kit, locations, firehouse. I'd prefer a campaign structure like Ghostbusters the video game but that developer specialises in 4v1 gameplay so it was always going to play like that. I agree about the replayability. I think that's where campaigns are stronger - whether it's good or bad the player has to play for a certain time to complete. But with games like Spirits Unleashed you stop when you get bored.
This is fine for a free to play experience, *BUT THIS IS A $50 GAME!* In my opinion, this is an unapologetic franchise cash grab.
Nathie, there are very good VR experiences for half the price. You really should be more assertive with your reccomendations. If this is the first experience for new VR owners they're gonna feel ripped of by VR.
Base game is more like $35. PSN discount, a bit lower.
It’s concerning how they can get something elementary sooooooo wrong. This is NOT Ghostbusters? No one asked for this?? We don’t want new, we want the original ghostbusters on new platforms. This is as stupid as the 2016 movie. I’m canceling my preorder! Until they add New York and the real ghostbusters
This looks awful. The 2009 Ghostbusters knocked it out of the park. I just can't understand why this game costs so much when the graphics are horrible and the ghost captured animations suck. This is a no go for me.
Yeah... this looks bad lol, there isn't really anything here that even screams Ghostbusters to me.
The core gameplay of catching ghost is way too boring as it should be. Even during your stream it didn't generated any wow moment...Sad disappointment. Lazy cash grab as other people mentioned in the comments. Screw this.
Looks sooooo lame.
Why do all the characters look like they are extras from that awful saints row game. Where are the real Ghostbusters.🤨
