"This one kinda hits it close to home. It's not uncommon for an artist to get the short end of the stick in the industry. But, every time it does happen, it's really disappointing. The latest in such situations deals with the recently released "Ghostbusters" on the Wii. If you hadn't noticed, it uses a stylized take on the famed characters instead of trying to replicate the look of the HD versions of the game. The Wii's style was inspired by an independent artist by the name of Dan Schoening. His Ghostbusters renditions laid the foundation for the Wii's stylized look. If you take a look at some of his original work, you'll see the inspirations all throughout his pieces, and personally I feel his work is miles better than the final look they settled on for the game.

WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."

was giving him a name credit too much? jeez...
Everything with Ghostbusters: TVG keeps getting worse and I'm a big fan!
If they actually did use his art to work off of under the understanding that Dan would get credit and then they decide not to...Isn't that illegal?
they did use his art as a BASE, but not the actual art.
he should have been recognized but...as mentioned, maybe someone forgot cause honestly...maybe it's not that big a deal?
But his artwork stands on its own. Those are some beautiful renditions of the Ghostbusters story and would love to see an animated movie done in that style.
