Not really, an official release from Atari saying that they picked up the game would definitly be nice by now. To bad its only 5 days away from the end of October, shame really, the game would've been perfect to play on Halloween come this Friday, thanks Activision.

Yes, it would've been nice, but its not going to be out. We've had about 3 months to come to terms with it, I think its time to move past it.

1. No the game was not done, it was nearing completion, but it was far from complete. (Games are not complete until they have “gone gold” which means the master disc is sent off for retail reproduction, its at that stage its complete )

2. The game industry does not announce anything like this until all the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted, and its painfully slow at doing so as well.

Also, this is the nature of the industry, waiting and waiting and…more waiting, especially when things like this happen, its even a waste of time to figure out WHY Activision dropped the game, the fact of the matter is, they dropped it, nothing we can do about it and trying to figure it out will either a) cause a blood vessel in our brains to explode and thus killing us and b) drive us insane so we cant enjoy the game when it does come out.

The fact is, we will hear when everything is ready to go, the best thing to do is to play some games, (the upcoming Fallout 3 and Tom Clancy's Endwar and Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 are good examples ). Look forward to the upcoming release of the RGB DVD set which is something we have been waiting for more so then the game.

So relax, grab your favorite soft drink, pop in a new DVD or play a game and wait it out, things will be screamed at us through GBFans, Proton Charging and GB.net when the news is received about what is happening.

I can figure out why they dropped it, cause Activision is run by idiots, that's the fact right there.

Eh, and honestly, I have no interest in either one of those games you mentioned, thanks for trying though.

well, glad to help.

id be really shocked if we dont hear anything come friday. Honestly if there was ever a time to anounce what the hell is going on with the game, friday would be it.

We got master replicas anouncing there line of ghostbusters gear, why would it be so impossable for atari, or who ever is picking up the game, to make an anouncement then too.

I also severly doubt the one time rumored launch date of november 8th (someone said they had a friend who had a friend….that whole kinda deal) is happening too, cause thats a mere 3 weeks away.

Looks like maby sometime next year! Sucks but what can we do

…..?

Of course its not. You don't bring a game out as a new publisher a few weeks after signing the deal. They'll want to promote it. Let alone the fact that the game is probably still not fully completed due to the delays.

Its just odd that you brought up the date as sort of hopeful (severely doubting it rather than just accepting the fact that that is not even remotely possible).

you can start worrying about the game when you see me stop visiting/lurking these boards.

I'm still upset that http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41948.html this is going to be released first, argh, why THQ, why did you have to pick that up?!

I know Ghostbusters is going to get released, but honestly, how, or better yet, why is 50 Cent's getting released first?

Sorry, I'm bitter about this entire situation.

You don't say? I don't think that was obvious before, so thanks for clearing that up.

And the reason 50 Cent's game gets release is that its of course more mainstream. Ghostbusters has to be handled carefully and there are executives that need convincing, given that nothing high profile has come out for Ghostbusters in a long time. 50 Cent is very popular for whatever reason, and his game was probably really cheap to make and very basic, as a quick cash grab. Ghostbusters won't be that… that's why it isn't going to be out before 50 Cent's game.

Har har har, you're very funny, not.

I don't know how he's popular, that game looks like its going to suck and hard, I think the line “Wheh my skull?” is proof of that, as for being cheap, I don't know, I don't work with whatever company is making the game, but whoever it is, and THQ are quite high.
