It seems only fitting that Ghostbusters has become the movie franchise that refuses to die, returning for a smattering of so-so (at best) reboots and sequels on screen and elsewhere being relegated to another rich vein of nostalgia to be mined for cash. Speaking of, Destiny 2 is getting Ghostbusters cosmetics next week!
The sci-fi shooter’s delve into a neighbourhood full of the strange will be exactly what you’d expect for the most part, in that it’ll be the same bits of Ghostbusters reheated every few years.
That means that, yes, green ghoulie Slimer makes an appearance here, serving as an oddly polygonal skin for your floating Ghost pal, who juts out of the pesky poltergeist’s mouth like a strange tongue. (Also, what’s up with Slimer’s accordion arms?)
Echo-1, the other bit of Ghostbusters you’re probably thinking of, will also show up. While Bungie’s announcement post didn’t detail exactly what that skin will apply to, it looks like it might be one of the game’s new hoverboards rather than your ride-on Sparrow, judging by the less-than-ergonomic shape of the bustin’-mobile.
There's something strange in our neighborhood...

Here’s one for all you connoisseurs of the horrific consequences of your own actions. Regicide-em-up visual novel Slay the Princess’ new update brings with it new dialogue and music, fleshing out the game with additional choices, expanded scenes, and orchestral renditions of some choice tracks. The new content takes the form of new animations and “more than 3,000 words of additional and restructured dialogue choices and conversations.” That is easily enough words to tell the Stanley Parable-esque narrator that you’re on to him and whatever mind games he’s playing, with enough left over for the other voices in your head to make you doubt your own morality with alarming frequency.
Every blockbuster now comes with the expectation of post-credits or after-credits scenes that either serve as sequel teases or joke-filled stingers.
For Gil Kenan (Monster House), the chance to co-write Ghostbusters: Afterlife was a dream come true. Directing the sequel was an even taller order — and one he jumped to take.
