Who ya gonna call? Apparently not the Ghostbusters.



This just saddens me.  The Ghostbusters video game that was scheduled to be released in just a few short months, has been dropped by the current license holder (Activision Blizzard) and its future is now uncertain.

This comes as a blow to many Ghostbuster fans, such as myself, who were greatly looking forward to the game.  It was a dream project really.  A video game adaptation that was a continuation of the movie stories.  It was being written by Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd.  And it even had all of the original Actors lending their voices to their characters in the game.  Even Bill Murray was going to be in it.

But now it isn't known when, or if, this game will ever come out.  At comic con last week that had a number of playable demo machines for the game up, and it looked really good.  Why Activision would choose to drop this title is beyond me.  It just doesn't make sense.

Hopefully, the makers of the game can find another distributor to pick it up so that fans will still get a chance to strap on a proton pack and go busting some ghosts.

You can read all of the details here.
