Ghostbusters has not been canned. Ghostbusters is coming out next year. Don't thank us, thank Atari.
"Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a fantastic addition to Atari's global line-up in 2009," said Phil Harrison, President of Atari's parent company, Infogrames. "The title has built considerable anticipation and excitement among game fans for its high quality action and all-out mayhem. There's no more thrilling Ghostbusting experience to be had, short of building your own proton pack."
Just in case you need a top-up, here's some official blurb:
Ghostbusters: The Video Game was penned by original Ghostbusters writers Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd and reunites members of the original cast for the first time in 20 years.
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson lend their voices and in-game likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters II, with Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces.
The game also features performances from fan favourites such as William Atherton (Walter Peck), Annie Potts (Janine Melnitz) and Brian Doyle-Murray (portraying Mayor Jock Mulligan).
Ghostbusters is coming to PS3, PS2, 360, PC, Wii and DS. Basically you will be playing it when it comes out. Or at least be near someone who is.
Great news. I cant believe another Publisher didnt snap it up before though. Is it not the 25th anniversary of the movie next year? That should be almost guarantee it to be a big hit.
Activision are repidly becoming as bad as EA were. Apparantly they dropped Ghostbusters because they wanted to concentrate on franchises that they can sell for 10 years. Rubbishness
i still can't believe that activision would drop a game this desirable unless it was for a game related reason. maybe game plays not that good? hope it is but have to be a cautious until i read a review.
