The PS3 version of Ghostbusters, which was supposed to be the flagship version, has already been called out with inferior graphics compared to the Xbox 360. Well, as I recently noted during the latest podcast, I’ve run into a further video problem where the game ceases to update on-screen video. The first occurrence of this, which was captured on crappy cell-phone video, is during the Library level while chasing the grey lady into the basement. The first time this occured, I was able to completely lock up the PS3 from any form of input. The second time I just struggled through it to continue playing. Well, not but one or two levels later a similar problem occurred while actively busting ghosts. There must have been too much action on the screen and frames were dropping faster than class 1 apparitions.

How do glaring bugs like this make it the final retail release? My guess: the pre-release test for the PS3 was stamped as the gold version. This is definitely not a good first food forward for the Terminal Reality’s Infernal Engine.
