There is no official word yet, but Activision left off quite a few games on their release list after E3. The following notable games were not present: Ghostbusters, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, Brutal Legend, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, World at Conflict: Soviet Assault, Zombie Wranglers, Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, as well as several Xbox Live Arcade titles.
We are reviewing our options regarding those titles that we will not be publishing.” Additionally the company plans to “realign” staff at High Moon Studios and Radical Entertainment, while Massive Entertainment and Swordfish Studios are both under consideration for sale or closure.
People are reporting that these games were not mentioned because they have been axed. Not so. I am just reporting that something may be afoot. Will some of these games never see the light of day? Most likely. I doubt a 50 Cent game is going to make a ton of money and cost the studio much in reputation, but I was really looking forward to Ghostbusters. Bustin’ makes me feel good.
You read correctly. Yesterday, we showed you a teaser for the new upcoming Ghostbusters next gen game. The teaser really did not show anything but it definitely sparked some interest. Now this. All 4 of the original Ghostbusters WILL be doing the voice acting. Bill, Dan, Ivan, and Ernie will reprise their roles as Ghostbusters. That’s not all. The nerdy secretary played by Annie Potts is back along with Brian Doyle Murray who played the psychiatrist in the sequel.(The guy who was the caddy master in Caddyshack.) Also… the jerk off EPA guy from the first one will also be in the game. No word yet on Rick Moranis or Sigourney Weaver. I have a feeling they are not exactly busy right now, but hey, this is shaping up to look like a full on project and not some half assed attempt to revive an old movie. I would totally let the gate keeper sit on my face. The gate keeper was the chick right?
