Sony Computer Entertainment will now be publishing Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters title in a surprise deal signed with Atari today, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

The game is set for a June 19 release alongside the Sony Pictures film, but only on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 platforms. They will have a period of exclusivity lasting several months until the PSP edition is launched.

It is unclear exactly what will happen to the Xbox 360 version of the game, although GamesIndustry.biz understands that Atari may look to publish it later on.

This will be the third publisher within a year for the Ghostbusters game. The former Vivendi title was dropped by Activision in the merger last summer, before subsequently being picked up by Atari.

Absolute Rubbish as you London-ers would say.

But I wouldn't put it past them…


I guess we will see…we will see…

Anything comment on this Skanker?

I really thought this would have happened last year when the rights were up in the air, so for it to happen now doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

It's Sony's property and if they think it will help sell more PS3/PS2 units then its a good business move which I haven't got a problem with. I'm lucky as I have both machines anyway so I'll just switch my pre order.

I bet Sony will announce a Ghostbusters PS3 Pack within two weeks.

To quote someone on Eurogamers…if that is indeed true (which I am assuming at the moment is)…

It proves that Sony does indeed…Have no Dick

To be honest some of the stuff that Atari were releasing as the ‘collectors edition’ was shit. Looks like Sony got a bit pissed off and saw a great opportunity to steal a march on the 360/Wii.

That was always the danger with Sony holding the overall rights to Ghostbusters, I'm just surprised it happened now as if I worked for them I'd have made this decision last year.

I can't agree with that because of Microsoft selfish business behavior… Remember Lost and the Damned? (GTA IV)

Nope. Didn't play nor care about the GTAIV DLC
