Ghostbusters Will be Published
Developer assures grieving fans.



UK, August 7, 2008 - Fret not those who shed a tear upon the news that Activision was unceremoniously dumping the promising looking Ghostbusters, as the game's developers have reiterated that the game will be published.

Activision dropped several high profile games late last month as a part of its acquisition of Sierra, the most high profile of which was certainly Ghostbusters: The Video Game, a title that carries directly on from the last film and is being penned by the original cast members. With such cache in the Ghostbusters' licence, it's seemed fairly certain that the game would be picked up, and Variety recently reported that the game could ‘potentially’ be released to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film's release next year.

Further conifmation that the game will indeed see the light of day came from Mark Randel of the games developer's Terminal Reality, who told videogaming247 that, “Ghostbusters will be published”, before giving the ambiguous caveat, “That's all I can say at the moment”.

If that's not enough to stem your sobs, console yourself with the latest preview pulled from this year's E3.

While that is good news to hear, it doesn't get us anywhere. It still doesn't answer the question on every GB fan in the world, which is “When?” Will it be October like everbody hopes? Or will it be postponed?

Well after looking at the other topic “the Five : Ghostbusters the video game” or whatever the link in there let me find this

Yeah, all that says is that it will be published, theres nothing about weither its coming out in October, or, ugh, if they're delaying it until June, thats the answer that everyone wants.

I think and am hoping it is still oct 21st. They really havent said much otherwise

Yep, I am the same way…until I hear otherwise I am blindly hoping for a October release date.

I can later tomorrow if no one beats me to it.

I was at a Books-A-Million today and found the issue. You don't need to scan those DS screens now, thanks anyway.

Something cool I found out in the Nintendo Power issue that I hadn't read before (I imagine someone's already posted it, but I haven't been able to keep up with EVERYTHING)… you get to play as a guy or a girl in the Wii version of Ghostbusters. And if it's co-op, one person is the guy and the other is the girl. I thought that was neat.

isn't that image of Walter from the Wii version awesome?

He does looks really cool. I really like the style of the Wii version of Ghostbusters. If they ever DID do a CG movie, I would love it if it was in the same style as the Wii/PS2/DS version. Slimer looks very cool as well.

I'd love to see a new cartoon in that style….
