He shows up pretty late though. Either way, none of the Ghostbusters in the game look anything like the characters from the movie. They're all interchangeable generic characters.

Winston is a clearly tacked on token character that will probably be viewed poorly even in hindsight

That was kinda the point of his character. While the other three busters were all escentrics, Winston represtened the everyday man.

I wish they made a videogame from the other Ghostbusters. I loved that TV show when I watched it many years ago.

Sure he did

Do you retards not know the story about Winston's character?

He was written for Eddie Murphy who dropped out of the project, and his role was hastily rewritten to be less prominent.

>> No.3354519

>>3354401
It wasn't rewritten just because Eddie Murphy didn't want the part, it was because the execs wanted to give more importance to Venkman because Murray was the most famous of the 4, so the newest of the group (Winston) got fucked

>> No.3354581

At least he got a cameo in Overwatch though

You do know NYC in the 80s was like 45% blacks right? It wasn't uncommon or PC at all that they would choose one for the movie when they're so abundant.

Also

Pretty edgy there kiddo. Just because he was a man of faith doesn't mean he was some wacko who avoided black cats or cracks in the pavement.

I think it turned out pretty well for all that. You don't really *need* a straight man, even with an ensemble cast, but when you've already got three people doing comedy more or less constantly and bouncing off each other, there's only so much difference a fourth person can have, let alone positive difference. A straight man is a great fit for that fourth slot.
