June 16, 2009 - Atari, one of the world's most recognized video game publishers,
today announced that the highly anticipated, summer blockbuster title,
Ghostbusters®: The Video Game is now available at retailers across North
America.
Working closely with Sony Pictures Consumer Products and acclaimed development
studios Terminal Reality and RedFly, Atari brings this completely all-new
chapter of the blockbuster Ghostbusters saga to advanced gaming platforms
coinciding with the 25th Anniversary celebration of the film's original
theatrical release. Ghostbusters: The Video Game, based on the smash hit motion
picture franchise, is penned by original Ghostbusters writers and stars Harold
Ramis and Dan Aykroyd and reunites many of the original cast members. In
addition, the game also launches today along with Sony Pictures Home
Entertainment's worldwide debut of the original motional picture on Blu-ray
Disc™.
Featuring the unique blend of humor and fright that established Ghostbusters as
a pop culture sensation, this new chapter of the blockbuster franchise is
available at retailers across North America for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft ($59.99), Windows PC ($29.99), PLAYSTATION®3
computer entertainment system ($59.99), PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system ($19.99), Wii™ ($39.99) and Nintendo DS™ ($29.99).
In addition to Aykroyd and Ramis, original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, and Ernie
Hudson, and new love interest, Alyssa Milano, lend their voices and in-game
likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters 2, with
Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces. The player joins
up as a new recruit with the original team, testing a variety of unique
equipment and gadgets, to track, wrangle and trap a wide range of awe-inspiring
phantasms in an all-new, funny and frightening battle to save New York City from
its latest paranormal plague.

I'm still waiting to see all these problems DRM causes. I've only heard "friend of a friend" style urban myths that it has caused any actual problems in the past couple of years.
Friend of a friend my ass. Securom fucked up my burning software. You know, the program that I legally own that came with my burner for doing legal things like making copies of data CDs and such? Yeah, that doesn't work if I play a game with Securom. I have a shortcut on my desktop for a Securom remover that I have to use if I want to burn anything. DRM is bullshit, and all it does is punish people who actually buy the fucking game. |

If you had actually read anything about the subject at all, you'd know that numerous companies have had their support lines swamped with people who ran out of activations for a game, etc.
Seriously?
Swamped with people so unlucky that their systems have crashed so completly and utterly that they couldn't use the activation revocation tools on 5 different occasions.
Or swamped with idiots who haven't realised they need to use the revoke tool after they installed it on their's nans, friends, pet chimpanzee's computer.
XP has activation limits too - or wait I guess you must use linux as obviously you'd never use software with activation limits. |

DRM still on Fallout 3
The only DRM Fallout 3 has is a disc check. Nothing else. That's never going to go away.

Fallout 3 shipped with a simple disc check, not DRM. You can argue about the DLC if you like and I'd agree there but the game itself has no installed DRM. |

I'm torn.
On the one hand, I've been trying to find a game I'm interested in for the immediate future; IE to play today or this week. And I completely forgot this game was coming out. So I think I'll go pick it up.
On the other hand, part of me would like to rent it. I only own about 5 PS3 games and still feel like I've bought too many.
It would be another story if BlockBuster was still in town. But now the nearest one is a couple of towns away and it hardly seems worth the effort, especially since they probably won't have it for a few weeks (and then it will be out of stock). |

This is why every major release gets the DRM removed after a few months. What planet do you live on?
Farcry 2, Crysis Warhead, Red Alert 3 still have limited installs and all have been out a year (i think).
DRM still on Fallout 3, GTA IV...
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Playing it now. It's different. You actually have to wrestle and fight the ghosts into the trap. Voice acting and music spot on. Story so far is clever so humorous moments. Murray is his classic self. Akroyd hasn't changed a bit.
I am playing it on hard and you have to kill these lil critter types every once in awhile that swarm. When you die it says, reload checkpoint. Checkpoint = restart of level. Semi destructible items and portions of environment. Gear upgrades, collectables in form of paranormal artifacts, detailed records of everything encountered.
The game so far is mostly played with you and the other team members working together. When one goes down you go res, you go down they res you. Not bad. Might even play it again at some point. First impressions good, but most folks would probably mark this as a renter unless GB fans. |

Everytime a game comes out with DRM the same idiots on here scream "WAAH DRM YOU JUST LOST A SALE". Personally if I were to release a game I'd make damn sure it was full of DRM to get rid of twats like that before they started bitching about every other little thing - "OH NOES IT NEEDS DIRECTX U JUST LOST SALES".

He might have actually meant to use Imposable as in capable of being imposed or laid on. Gamers love to be imposed or laid on... or so I've heard.  |

They either don't care, don't know what it is, or don't know how it hurts them. |

So many ignorant players out there as noted from this random blog entry Ghostbusters game PC version – DRM and no online. EDFX writes, "I’m not much of a gamer, what is DRM?" atarize writes, "DRM is no big deal right? I mean, it’ll still work right?" and SomeDude posts, "Does DRM write the game onto one PC or something?" Why don't these gamers go educate themselves? They have the Internet! Wikipedia and Google are only a few keystrokes away.

Activision is saying FUCK YOU to us, so it's only fair that we say it to them.
It's a pity, I was looking forward to this only because Threewave was developing the multiplayer. I guess the DRM shit is the only multiplayer we're getting. |

| Ack. So conflicted. I'm hardly interested in the game itself, though maybe it's good, I just interested in the dialog and script. I'd be fine if someone just recorded themselves playing through it and posted it on Youtube honestly. |
