Now with 80% less hygiene.

Details are starting to emerge regarding Rockstar’s recently announced noir third person shooter, Max Payne 3. Gamespy reports scans of the latest issue of Game Informer which unveil much information about how the game will play out. Major changes include a shift in setting down to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and our favorite detective is now a middle aged, balding, wash up of a man.  The iconic bullet time remains, along with the internal comic-book style monologues which told the story of Max’s downfall. Reports also indicate a cover system will be added, however it will not be as critical to the gameplay as Gears of War.

I don’t know about you folks but this gets me pretty excited, I just hope Rockstar can keep the good old Max Payne feel we have come to know and love.

Remember those Ghostbusters videos we had here a couple of days ago? You might also remember that besides finding out the videos came from Zootfly, an european developer, we had yet to find out exactly what was that we saw. A game in the making? Super secret project? Some bored employee’s lunchtime project?

Well Zootfly updated its website with good and bad news. Indeed the videos are of a Ghostbusters game in early development, running on Zootfly’s proprietary game engine. Sadly the project has hit a standstill due to IP ownership problems. The Ghostbuster’s franchise is legendary in its ownership complexity but the Zootfly team is hoping to resolve the issue and get back to work soon.

And if the project never saw the light of day, not all is lost. Zootfly is also working on another game, called TimeO which is ‘closely related’ to the Ghostbusters game, it takes place on an alternate dimension New York, where the whole city is a war machine bent on destroying our world. Sounds just like the original Ghostbusters movie. Get the hype machine running, its time.

A ghost of an old and almost forgotten franchise appears on your screen, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! All day today the Internet has been ablaze with comments and chatter about a group of videos that show what appears to be a highly developed Ghostbusters game concept.

So far all that appears to be confirmed is that these videos came out of ZootFly, developers of Panzer Elite Action, Hollow and MobiRacers. No word yet on whether this is an official project or just someone’s project. Check out the vids, I haven’t been this excited about the Ghostbusters since I was 7.

Don’t cross the proton streams! Hit the jump for more videos.
