Activision Blizzard have held the anti-E3 by submitting their latest release schedule with no mention of forthcoming titles Ghostbusters, Brutal Legend, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, World at Conflict: Soviet Assault, 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, Zombie Wranglers, Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, as well as several Xbox Live Arcade titles.
They have already reported that the will be scaling back operations across a handful of development studios, and this latest announcement leaves these titles in doubt.
A representative from Activision Blizzard has said "We are reviewing our options regarding those titles that we will not be publishing."
Matt writes: "10 years ago Ghostbusters The Video Game was released on Xbox 360. A decade later the remaster has been released. We review Saber Interactive's latest game."
WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."
Joseph, Josh, and Chris discuss Fortnite Season 2, Okami 2, and the continuing Blizzard controversy.
WHAAAAA?A?A?A?
Prototype is also on the chopping block
I think Activision is going to be the new EA
ugh. i want a ghostbusters game. If activision kills that game its gonna suck bigtime.
I think it's a poor business move by Activision. Ghostbusters was a Game Informer cover story a few months back, and it's been generating a lot of buzz. I know that I have been looking forward to it. It is a game that would create a lot of nostalgia for gamers like myself who grew up in the 80's and early 90's. Let's hope this game makes it back on track.
