Well I was a little worried that October might be too much of a rush… So hopefully they can really spit polish it and make a fully complete game and not just some hobbled together hunk of crap like so many other GB games before…

Looks like money wasn't the reason Activision chose not to publish our beloved mistress

Well I was a little worried that October might be too much of a rush… So hopefully they can really spit polish it and make a fully complete game and not just some hobbled together hunk of crap like so many other GB games before…

The game's been in development since 2006 and the October date, whilst always mentioned has never become concrete until fairly recently, I really doubt there's much more room for feasible improvement that seven months can give them.

I think I've been desensitized to game delays after putting up with Super Smash Bros.: Brawl's and really can't feel angry about them anymore, but here's my two cents…

A potential (or confirmed? …I'm really not sure, haha) delay isn't the worst thing in the world to me, but I'd like to see the game released as hastily as possible as soon as it's finished. I've been a loyal Ghostbusters fan all my life as well as an avid gamer, so this game is kind of the best thing ever for me.

I'm very grateful the game is even being made and if it NEEDS to be delayed, so be it. IF the few extra months will put an extra coat of shine on there, that's awesome (although unlikely like it was said given the amount of time already put into the game). …But they shouldn't push it back just to slap a “25th Anniversary” on it and let the finished product sit around and wait for that. The words “25th Anniversary” aren't going to help sell this game. What will sell it is already there: the original cast coming back together for a fantastic action/adventure video game that brings all the magic that made Ghostbusters so loved in the first place back to audiences everywhere.

Am I upset about the delay? Sure. I want this game as soon as possible. Do I think it's stupid? Of course, why in the world would they even consider missing a potential holiday season from a sales point of view? I mean, I guess we can take solace in knowing that it's not going to get canned. You know, based not only on the fact that they said it will be released, but c'mon… you don't get Bill Murray to record lines for a video game then… not release it.

So I dunno. I guess we'll just have to wait, but from what I've seen, the wait will be worth it. Yeah waiting sucks, but what is there to be done about it? It's not our decision to make, as much as I'm sure we all wish it was.

this whole delay is stupid and frustrating.

If it does indeed get delayed till 2009 we better get a fucking Special edition with some kick ass swag for the trouble we have gone through to get this game…

I can say one thing with certainty, and all I can say will be said in this post.

I used to work in the gaming industry. I still have good friends who work in the industry. The news of Ghostbusters needing a publisher is spreading fast, and there ARE interested parties looking into what it going to take (financially and logistically) to have the game see the light of day.

I know of one company (can't say who) that is looking into the option of acquiring the game for publication. Whether this will come to pass or not, I don't know, but people ARE aware of the monumentally stupid mistake Activision made, and are looking to do what Activision won't.

I have a feeling that even if said company doesn't get it, the game in not going to linger in limbo for very long. There ARE quite a few companies out there who would kill to have the Ghostbusters title as part of their current line-up.

You've been working for it? Sucker. I've just been sitting here waiting.

Waiting feels like work sometimes…

Not sure how much truth there is in this
