One of the most anticipated games of the year (not only by yours truly) has joined the looked of the new Duke Nukem Game in video game limbo. However unlike everyone's favorite pig cop killing, catchy one liner spitting, and stripper fondling Bad Ass this game hasn't been in the works for about half my life.
According to recent (not really) news:
"On July 28, 2008 Activision Blizzard (the publisher of Vivendi's and Sierra's titles) announced that only five franchises would be released through Activision. Ghostbusters was not one of them and was put in developmental limbo following the announcement. The Sierra PR team later confirmed that the game was not and would not be cancelled. The game is still listed on the Activision website with a release date of the October 31, 2008. On July 30, 2008, it was reported that the game may be delayed until 2009, with Sony Pictures stating "this has presented [Sony Pictures Consumer Products] with an opportunity to reevaluate the game release marketing strategy to potentially coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film in '09." Activision and Sony Pictures are looking for another publisher."
All I have to say is WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Why must the entertainment industry mess with all the good things from my childhood. I swear if the G.I. Joe isn't even close to being what it should be, this game doesn't come out, and Michael Bay f*ck's up Soundwave in the new Transformers movie I will no longer have anything left to remember from my childhood because they have all been distorted by Hollywood and their games (well hopefully the new TMNT movie can bring some of it back if it doesn't suck).
