Remember that fan project back in April that aimed to put Ernie Hudson into Ghostbusters on the Sega Genesis? The Ghostbusters: Special Edition is still very much alive, and Ghostbusters News has dropped a little update on the project, which along with the addition of Hudson’s Winston Zeddemore, features a few other goodies.

One of the programmers involved in the Ghostbusters: Special Edition project, BillyTime!Games, posted an update to Twitter regarding the ROM hack, saying that the project is expected to get back up and running in the new year. In addition, he also shared a new Slimer-branded SEGA startup logo for the hacked ROM.

Earlier, one of the artists on the project, Danilo Diaz, posted an image of Winston’s sprite that will be used in the game.

The Ghostbusters: Special Edition project aims to not only put Winston in the game, but will also include alternate uniforms, a save system, and according to BillyTime!Games, hidden secrets and “even have a few more surprises“. For those wondering just how you’ll be able to get ahold of the ROM hack once it’s been completed, the mod file will be uploaded to ROMhacking.net.

In the meantime, you can catch Hudson, alongside Dan Aykroyd, in the upcoming Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord for the Sony PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest 2 next year.

Battle Ancient Monstrosities in the Antarctic in ‘UNFROST’ [Trailer]

Published

on

For those wanting more wintery horror games, Nord Unit has you covered with their upcoming co-op Antarctic horror FPS, UNFROST. Coming to Steam, the game has you braving the elements in Antarctica as you hunt for tough-as-nails ancient otherworldly beings that require some heavy firepower to take down.

UNFROST is set in Antarctica, where you and your squad seek out ancient entities known as the Riftborne. It’s easier said than done, as you’ll need to gather evidence, survive extreme conditions, and prepare to launch a nuclear strike, which is the only weapon capable of killing them. Of course, you’ll also need to figure out how to escape before the strike hits.

But, in order to launch the strike, you’ll need to figure out just the right tunings in order to actually damange the Riftborne, which cannot be defeated with conventional weapons. That involves exploring abandoned stations, frozen ruins, and anomaly zones to recover samples, scan anomalies, and analyze evidence.

You’ll need to work together with your squad by divvying up tasks, sharing evidence, and transporting equipment. For example, one squad member may investigate anomalies, while another secures the perimeter or hauls critical equipment through a blizzard.

And yes, as you might have guessed, the Antarctic weather will be your first and foremost foe in UNFROST. You must brave the freezing temperatures and inclement weather while managing warmth, supplies, and sanity. The longer your mission lasts, the tougher it will be to survive.

Obviously, the Riftborne isn’t going to wait around for you. In fact, it’ll be hunting you from the very start. As such, you’ll need to constantly adapt in order to avoid certain death. Once you’ve determined the Riftborne’s weakness, you must configure the correct nuclear payload, launch the strike, and get out before impact. You don’t want to be around when the bombs drop.
