There's that one video game though that is really considered Ghostbusters 3 since it has cast voices, writing from Aykroyd/Ramis, etc.
Ghostbusters Afterlife seems to be more just some nostalgic valentine/tribute to the original film than a full-fledged sequel.

Pretty much. For me this will always be Ghostbusters 3 and the IDW Ghosbusters comic books are the direct sequel to this amazing video game/movie. All of them are awesome. Now this game is no longer canon because all those involved with Ghostbusters Afterlife were to lazy to find a way to make it canon and to tell a original story. I guess it was better for them to make this video game non-canon just to use the same villain again and retell the same story. I will be seeing Afterlife on stream. No way will I pay to see it. I am so disappointed with Afterlife and those involved in it.

It's probably got a specific target audience in mind,the kids will like it and maybe they'll check out the original. I agree about the game, it ticked all the right boxes.

Read the IDW Ghostbusters comic books too as the comic books are a direct to the video game which Ramis helped with before his tragic passing. They're awesome and totally underrated comic books. Its just wholesome fun and in tone with the spirit of what made Ghostbusters great. The stories were original too, it gave us a Ghostbusters multiverse and alot of cool villains. I would have rather had an animated series based of the IDW Ghostbusters comic book, or a sequel to the GB: Video Game (2009) vs Ghostbusters Afterlife which is nothing more then 2 hours or rubbing off to the first movie instead giving us something new and something we haven't seen already.

I just wish that the film industry would give up on trying to revive Ghostbusters. The original is a great movie, one of the key films that define the 1980s, but, it should be clear by now, that magic cannot be captured again. The failed attempts (including Ghostbusters 2, which I know has a following) just keep getting more and more depressing.

Well the studio heads really care more about making the money than recapturing the magic. But I agree that recapturing magic is practically impossible. Duplicating magic also isn't recapturing magic.

Well the studio heads really care more about making the money than recapturing the magic. But I agree that recapturing magic is practically impossible. Duplicating magic also isn't recapturing magic. The thing to remember is Afterlife isn't about 'recapturing the magic' so much as it is modernizing the story and introducing it to a new generation. My son is seven, we've already watched the originals with him, but he's also excited about this one because there are kids in it. Yeah it's all marketing and we can be cynical about it or we can hope kids enjoy this movie as much as we enjoyed the originals when they came out. (I saw the original in theaters when I was my son's age.) At the end of the day, the nods to the original are the best you're going to get as an older fan, because they're trying to attract new fans. This movie isn't aimed at us, and that's ok. We'll always have the originals. I guess I've seen enough lousy, unnecessary sequels to be numb to it at this point. In fact, I feel better knowing this is aimed at kids as opposed to something like the supposed next Indiana Jones which is a shameless cash grab. You aren't gaining new fans with a 100 year old Indiana Jones, you're just cashing in on nostalgia for nostalgia's sake.
