Proton Charging’s latest post reveals a little more of the plot for the new game. As well as ties to the original Ghostbusters 3 script. Winston has finished school and has a PHD in Engineering (this is a little bizarre since the game takes place just a few years after the second movie).

This makes you wonder what else Akroyd is salvaging from the Ghostbusters 3 script for us in the game. From what I understand, the first draft of script for the third movie was very technical. More of an emphasis on props and theories than gags. The script followed Winston, Egon and Ray on their way out as Ghostbusters. They’ve turned their small business into a franchise.

Basically Hell starts to fill up. It is represented by an alternate dimension of New York, called “Manhellton.” Hell is run by a Donald Trump style mogul named Mr. Siffler (Lou-Siffler?). Of course the boys in grey aren’t going to stand for this going down in their town. Egon creates some portal technology which they use to bust into Manhellton gangbusters style.

Although I haven’t read this script myself, I wouldn’t mind tracking down a copy to review. We should all keep in mind that this was a first draft that only Akroyd had touched. The previous films were in the hands of Akroyd, Ramis and Reitman before they were filmed. One particular scene that really caught my attention was an army of Ecto-1s crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. How cool would that be? As well as a large truck called the Ecto-50 which was used as a portable containment unit.
