*And at one point during the “demo” that we all saw, Ray gets stuck behind a box, and the Rookie has to destroy the obstruction in order for him to proceed…Shouldn't Ray just do it himself?…Or is that one of the objectives or just an annoying glitch? (*egon) …

That is mainly becuase of the new engine, characters usually follow a pre prorgamed path. ( In the Unreal Engine you set up Apples which connect to one another and the character travels down that path ). Usually in games that path is completely cleared becuase the level is already laid out before they make the paths. Becuase of the new engine which can have objects explode and go anywhere at any size, it becomes a problem with the path becoming blocked and the computer cannot continue down the path.

Basically this is probably going to be something that will be a part of the game since the pieces differ in size and even if the AI recognizes it, it would still have to target and move the piece. So… maybe Ghostbusters 2 The Video Game?!

Also guys, remember it isnt like this is the final product of the game. Things like how other Ghostbusters act in battles and other things could still be worked on.

the hell?
I hope that is just kotaku being frakking wrong. I rather have a october 31st release, god I am loathing activision for pulling this crap, I will a) take teh october 31st date as offical b) HOPE SOMEONE EXPLAINS JUST WHAT THE FRAK IS GOING ON.

even i have limits to my optimism

It would be disappointing if Sony actually does plan to delay the game till 2009, especially if it's till the summer of ‘09. I’m afraid that, if anything, delaying the game much longer could only hurt its chances of selling well. It's getting a decent amount of coverage from the magazines and online now, and it's unlikely that they'll still be covering it nearly as much next year if Sony simply plans to shelve it till then. Without as much coverage prior to release, and a longer wait time till then, the more casual fans or even people new to the series could lose interest. A release near Halloween would seem to be the most logical choice, so hopefully Sony will reconsider. There are many, many other things Sony could do for the franchise in '09 other than delaying the game, such as releasing the film on Blu-Ray then, as someone else suggested.

You and me both man, I would be seriously disappointed if we had to wait till next year for this. People keep saying that they wanted it more polished or something, well, they've been working on this damn thing for what, since 2006? How much more polished can it get?

I think they started on it in mid 05 and got full green light go head in 06. frakking hell even that zootfly crap and the hubub over it got sierra to give it the full green light. so yeah, this is really frakking strange, I say no to 2009.

Since the game might get canceled, I decided to make a video on YouTube. I am not in it though.

I heard several companies always check out YouTube to see what people are saying about their company.

So let's give Activision a message and let them know that we do not want the game to be canceled. Please make this video your top favorite, give it 5 stars, and the most video responses.

Hopefully, when Activision sees this, they will not cancel the game.

The video also contains a slide show of the game that I took from www.proptopia.com.

Thanks.

Okay, I think we're now starting to go a bit too far in one extreme with the mention of cancellation.

It's safe to say that this game won't be cancelled… just held in Limbo for an undetermined length of time.

Understand now why I'm getting so frustrated with all these cancellation topics Ben? People aren't listening to reason here. Everyone is freaking out over an internet report that happened 4 days ago and was quickly debunked the next day saying “The game is NOT canceled and will NOT be canceled.” Its delayed. Its still coming. RELAX for crying out loud.

EDIT: secrecyguy did you seriously not even add sound to that? That's gotta be the worst, laziest attempt at a video that you actually want to get attention. Let alone the fact that you beg for ratings and comments and favorites for something that is basically a glorified picture gallery.

Yeah, I think by now most everyones figured it hasn't been canceled, though we're still all not happy about Activision being stupid and dropping the game under their banner, stupid, stupid Activision.

I think in an apology for this delay. they should at least make the library level demo available on Xbox live or something. Thats what they owe us for teasing our neutrona wands…
