I do like the thought of being able to customize the Ecto, I love the thought of driving it even more. A roller ghoster themed level would be awesome to see Illfonic figure out though.

[zeta otaku]

Maybe we're getting a haunted Firehouse level or perhaps more story? The shot is vague enough to really be anything at this point.

That would be cool. But poor Winston, just after he renovated the Firehouse. lol. The brochures by where you access cutscenes never teased the medical facility before it was announced . I recall Ocean Aquarium, Downtown Zoo, and Magic Shop unless they were messing with us.

On the latter, yeah, isn't there more to Nameless - like it is supposed to be a harbinger to something worse?

Boss battles would be cool. They could even based them on the history of the maps from the clippings. Like for DLC, you can fight a boss battle at the Rock Island Prisons, the ghosts of the doctor and nurse that were using inmates as test subjects.

Yeah, the brochures were thought to hint at what's next, but it was only ever fan theory.

Those assuming that Ecto customization would lead to driving levels should REALLY temper their expectations to around "greater than zero, but less than one percent" on the chances of it happening.

To be fair, Nameless forgot it's name AND purpose... then again, Ray mentioned that he didn't even remember catching him... so I'm wondering if the cleaned up classic Ecto-1 may lead to time travel shenanigans where WE catch Nameless in the past and hide the trap at Peter's place. A nice little time loop.

An Ecto-1 driving level is how you gain the undying love of Ghostbusters fans.

Very cool idea! Then again Ray did misquote the Bible once and the fans never forgot that.

Well if they do time travel, they have to include some Displaced Aggression cosmetics. I want to be a cowboy Ghostbuster!

Can anyone tell me what to do about finished contracts not showing up as completed?

I just finished the RGB PKE Research Contract. It popped up a message saying completed and then on of the tasks show 0/10 again.

Did you go on the GhostbustersSU Twitter and DM them, go to their Discord or email gbsu-support@illfonic.com?

Did you try to log out to the main menu, and log back into the Firehouse and see if it appears then?

Are you finishing the match to completion after you get the notification the contract is completed? If you get the contract done but leave the match before it's done, it won't save. and will revert to 0.

When you complete the contract, finish the match, then select "Leave Job" after the scoreboard appears and tallys up - that seems to work the best to "lock in" completion of a contract.

^ THanks Michael. Finishing the game worked for me!

Oh yay, now PKE blasts are useless.

[mrmichaelt]

Oh yay, now PKE blasts are useless.

I saw that, too, and wondered if they are trying to phase out the P.K.E. Blast and force players to equip the Ecto Zaper.

[timeware]

They'll have to change some contract guidelines then to make things fair. Lol.

Then they'll make the Ghosts even stronger. lmao.

Like some no good spirits, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Btw, you still got that Slimer glitch going on? Or was it with other ghosts, too?

[timeware]

Honestly I haven't played as the ghost since then. But I have managed to get quite a few contracts done with the private match options.

No worries. Was just curious if you figured out if it was just Slimer, all your ghosts, just the Lodge level, or maybe the player's tethers were glitching. Guess time ware tell. See what I did there? Ok, good night.

[timeware]

So the A.I. bots are pretty useless. Had one of them standing on a table for the entire match, but I did finally manage to unlock the remote control trap tonight. I don't think I would have ever done that through online matches and it is very cool. I love how the RCT just hangs off of the web belt, but it does have some graphical clipping issues with the P.K.E. Meter.

Hasbro better get started on the Remote Control Trap.

[timeware]

The only thing I have left to really unlock is the PKE meter RGB shell. I already have the RGB wand, pack and trap. It would be awesome if Illfonic decided to add the RGB trap to the RTV kit.

[mrmichaelt]

Nothing much in the Twitch stream today but at the 1 hr 20 min mark, Albert does acknowledge the Slime Blower is the most requested item and the designers are well aware of that.

And the team knows about the lock up that happens when you switch from Buster to Ghost during a level and are working on it.

[zeta otaku]

Hey, I learned that they know my online handle from all the PS5 remote trap bug reports I put in EVERY patch since launch XD

GB News interview with Jordan Mathewson and Jared Gerritzen.


-Yes, more maps, ghosts coming, and customization coming.
-A ghost class was scrapped and elements were used in others.
-The original story did change into a much better version.
-Aykroyd turned down a vodka nod and told the crew Ray is a whiskey drinker.
-Confirms the Disruptor Pylon is based on the device in Ghostbusters II.
-Coy about more shells about Extreme Ghostbusters, ATC, and Afterlife.
-Working on a saved customized character pre-set, or in other words, a player can switch from one of their customized characters to another without having to go to the locker and changing it all.
-Each building in NY has a lawyer and it's difficult so don't count on new maps of classic movie locations.
-Are doing new elements and layers that will evolve the game like working on ghosts that do new things but don't really expect new modes per say like survival mode or a boss battle.

[mrmichaelt]

Pop-Culture Gems interviewed CEO Charles Brungardt and CCO Jared Gerritzen.


-how it came together from talks in 2018, meeting with Ivan
-getting the story/lore bug on Predator and creating story for this game
-being surprised with Ernie Hudson doing his possessed Winston voice
-deciding on doing asymmetrical games, it usually takes a year to make it good/balanced, how players help pointing things out that their test teams never thought of or encountered
-working with Cynthia Millar on the soundtrack
-hints at an exciting DLC/update for this Halloween
-making DLC free to bring in the different segments of fans (Charles uses his daughter as an example, she saw ATC first then they starting watching the classic movies)
-their favorites stuff from DLC 1

[Hairy Biker]

I'd like to see more voices added.
I'm an Aussie and I'm stuck with using an American voice.
It'd be nice to have something closer to my own.

[zeta otaku]

Your best bet to get that done is to hop in the official GBSU discord and drop that in the feedback channel.

The whaty what now?

A social platform that official sites sometimes use. Illfonic has one for this game where bug reports, bug updates, patches, suggestions are posted. One of the best places to get your voice heard by them:
https://discord.com/channels/1031602648 ... 2338105384

or email them at gbsu-support@illfonic.com

[zeta otaku]

Their discord is really friendly and helpful so long as you don't come in with an attitude. Come in, say hi. I go by Guyofthe80s on there... I'm usually the guy helping people link their Epic accounts to their consoles and complaining about the wireless trap STILL not working on the PS5 (known issue by the team and the dev team know my handle from making bug reports every patch on that issue ALONE).

Not gunna lie, I have no idea what Discord is, but thank you for the link.

[mrmichaelt]

A new version of the official website went up as of today. They have up bios of the characters, ghosts, locations; a news page, a community page. Of note, it did reveal Catt's last name is Delgado.
