Wasn't this going to be something about the ghostbusters going into a hell version of New York city?

Yeah, but then they used that plot for the video game.

The original idea for Ghostbusters involved actually traveling through other dimensions and basically policing paranormal activity. That idea was just far too immense to be practical for a film (even today with CGI it would be an expensive movie) and so they scaled it down extensively by playing them as basically high-tech exterminators/exorcists. Ghostbusters 2 was supposed to get involved with the "traveling through other dimensions" idea (the exact details have varied, some have said that Bill And Teds Bogus Journey was a reworking of that script) but the film was gradually reworked into what it became, a slightly different story following the same beats as the first film. The Ghostbusters video game we can anticipate as recycling at least some ideas of what 2 was supposed to be (some things like the return of Stay Puff were probably just for the fans).
