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.

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?

Destructoid writes: "And the E3 videos keep on a'coming. This latest footage comes from our friends over at G4, who got some time with associate producer Ryan French and the latest demo of Sierra's upcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game (maybe no one told them we spell it "videogame" round these parts). Although it's coming out for virtually every system this demo is shown running on the game's primary platform, the PlayStation 3.

Interesting fact that's revealed during the hands-on: it turns out that the rookie Ghostbuster that you'll be controlling was actually modeled after Ryan. It may have just been a way for the studio to save money, but getting a character modeled after you is still pretty damn cool.

One feature that I found pretty interesting is that while you'll get money for every ghost you capture, you'll also get charged by the city of New York for all the collateral damage you cause. What money you get to keep after every mission can then be spent to upgrade your equipment, so it should give trigger happy players some pause before they start blowing up public buildings -- to enjoy the beautiful destruction effects -- unless they don't care about getting the latest in proton pack technology."
