A brand new Ghostbusters videogame appears to have been revealed in a series of movies, and include a CGI Peter Venkman uttering the immortal words "Who you gonna call?" The movies, which have been uploaded to video community site YouTube over the weekend, are attributed to a developer called Zootfly, who works primarily on Xbox 360 and PC games.

The clips include footage of Ecto 2, a sportier take on the wailing Ghostbusters car, hurtling down a city street; some proton gun, phantom blasting action; a closer peek at Ecto 2 in several colours; and the Peter Venkman news footage, crediting the Ghostbusters with saving the world for a third time.

Billed as "a Ghostbusters game prototype," it's obviously in the very early stages of development - Venkman looks super-rubbery, while the environments are a bit cardboard-looking. The action sequence, though, shows some exciting potential, reminding us of the relentless foot-pounding shootery in Gears of War. Cruel hoax or fan-pleasing reality? We'll find out soon.
