PS3 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - On Ghostbusters' non-appearance at PAX Vivendi Games bought the rights to the PAX badge lanyards way back in January and actually delivered them to PAX in June, two months before PAX 2008 began. Just a few weeks before the show the Activision Blizzard merger became official and the new company decided it didn't want to publish the Ghostbusters game after all, leaving PAX with advertising a game that is currently "between publishers". As PAX head man Robert Khoo stated, ""We didn't have much of a choice as finding an alternate lanyard provider, so we just ran with it." The game is still expected to be released sometime in 2009 but a new publisher has yet to be announced.

PS3 - Ghostbusters The Video Game -  Sony to publish Ghostbusters as PS3 exclusive? Gamer Blorge writes: "This goes in the rumor bin, but as many of you many know with the Activision Blizzard merger several games became orphans without a publisher. Two high profile games that were left without parents were Brutal Legends and Ghostbusters. Now the word on the street is Sony maybe looking at publishing Ghostbusters as a PS3 exclusive.

Ghostbusters is the latest video game in the series created by Terminal Reality and originally a planned effort between Vivendi Universal and Sony Pictures. However once the merger between Activision and Blizzard finalized developers Terminal Reality found it's latest game Ghostbusters without a publisher."

PS3 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - Still a Ghost of a Chance for Ghostbusters Next year (that's 2009 if you're not paying attention) is the 25th anniversary of Ghostbusters, and that may factor into the delay of the game, perhaps so the game release coincides with a re-release of the movies on DVD with new special features and commentaries.

PS3 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - Brian Crecente In "Preview Impossible" Ripten writes:

"When high profile corporations merge, the innocent are often caught in the crossfire. Unsuspecting developers and PR ninjas can sometimes feel like they have no place to turn. There is one man however, who specializes in the impossible - that man is none other than Kotaku's Editor-in-Chief, Brian Crecente.

Word hit the street several days ago that Activision's once proudly touted Ghostbusters title was being dropped by the publisher. Looking to set the record straight, one PR rep (codename: Evil PR Ninja Monkey) decided to take matters into his own hands and send a preview copy (with no embargo date) to Crecente."

PS3 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - Ghostbusters game delayed to 2009, but who's publishing it? Ben Fritz writes:

By now everybody knows that Activision Blizzard didn't include "Ghostbusters," which was scheduled to come out this fall, on the list of Vivendi games it is planning to publish post-merger.

But beyond a vague statement from a PR rep that the game is "not canceled," there's been no indication yet of what will happen to the "Ghostbusters" game. Since it's so close to completion, surely it won't just be thrown to oblivion and never published, right?
