360 - 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.

360 - 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."

360 - 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?

360 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - E3 08: Ghostbusters: The Video Game demo footage 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."

360 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - Zootfly Ghostbusters footage helped sell concept Gain Odgens: "Cast your minds back to when you saw that first footage of what was reported to be a brand new Ghostbusters game. It looked good but wasn't to be as the developer, Zootfly, didn't hold any rights to the license and had to can it in the end.

Early tech demos were removed at the request of Sony Pictures and all references to the game were removed from the company's website while negotiations over the rights continued behind closed doors. As it turned out Terminal Reality and Sierra were in those talks.

OXM asked Mark Randel, president of Terminal Reality, about the test footage released early last year. "They had no knowledge - we were already working on the game six to nine months at that time, and the license was either signed or about to be signed. "

360 - Ghostbusters The Video Game - Ghostbusters Game Built To Offer Scares Or Laughs Every 15 Feet MTV Multiplayer writes: "Like fellow Multiplayer reporter Patrick Klepek, I too grew up with the "Ghostbusters" films and plastic Proton Packs. So when I saw the Egon, Ray and Winston battling apparitions and making quips in the New York Public Library - all rendered on the PS3 - I was taken aback.

It was like watching a long-lost "Ghostbusters" sequel.

"Our intent was to combine the action of 'Gears of War' and the comedy [of the films]," Brendan Gross, development director at Terminal Reality, at a Sierra demo earlier this wee. "We tried to have something funny or scary every 15 feet."

Gross told me that his studio is trying to take greater care making a movie game than gamers would normally expect. "We're really moving more down that direction, especially with the generation three platforms," he said. For "Ghostbusters" specifically, he said it helped to have the development time frame that they had (they've been developing the game for over two years). And having worked on the "Aeon Flux" movie game, the development studio knows the pitfalls of trying to to have a product released in tandem with a licensed film."
