Interesting side note:
I went to Gamestop today (Soulcalibur IV for 360), and asked the manager if he knew anything about it.
He said the game is still in their system set for a October 21 release. He also added that when a game gets a definite street date (month and day specific), the developer/publisher HAS to release the game, as it's considered deceiving the public.
I know other games have had set street dates before in the past only to get delays, but if there's any truth to the whole “getting down to the wire/must release it” theory, then cool.
At this point, it's got to be almost done anyway. I worked in the game industry before, and if it has an October Street date, the game only has about a month/month and a half time frame left to develop. It's practically gold and out the door. It would be stupid to cancel this late.
And like I said before, Activison once published a slew of Ghostbusters games before. Let's hope they come to their senses.
