Bill Murray was probably the only one to sign onto the deal or at least the most willing to provide hours of dialog, whereas the rest (Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, etc..) may only have bit parts or wrote out completely. However, since the initial story does belong to Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd, I don't knwo why they wouldn't be in it for at least a bit part. They may be getting a good chunk of royalties either way. I also viewed the videos on this link and noticed that these new Ghostbusters don't seem to use the Ghost Traps and can "kill" the ghosts with a few moments burst of their proton rifle. this may be interesting to see if these new spins flop or go over better than ever.

That sounds eerily similar to the late '90s Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon, only that had Egon in the instructor role, which makes more far more sense than Peter doing it. Plus, I've read that the main reason there was never a Ghostbusters III was because Bill Murray had no interest in reprising the character. Also, a few years ago, a company was trying to make a line of Ghostbusters action figures, but Bill Murray wouldn't give his consent to let them use his image, so I'm surprised he would let it be used for this game.
