VideoGamer.com
has word on what seems like the cancellation of the Ghostbusters video game,
which at this time sounds like a casualty of the Activision Vivendi merger. They
have quotes that indicate there is still the possibility the game will see the
light of day: Speaking to VideoGamer.com this morning a representative
confirmed: "The only titles that we're currently dealing with are Crash, Spyro,
Prototype and this other (unannounced) title." Regarding these titles we were
told: "It's business as usual."
However, there is still hope that the dropped games will eventually make it to
store shelves. When asked if the titles absent from its release schedule were
being put out to tender, we were told: "That's the indication, yeah." That means
Activision is trying to find new publishers for the games.
The news regarding Ghostbusters is particularly surprising considering it was
planned for release this autumn. Regarding the title the Vivendi rep said: "We
haven't seen it for a little while. We had expected things to be progressing.
Obviously with this it was being decided right up to the last minute. As far as
I know everything was going to plan. We haven't been given any reasoning for
it."

This update comes from the road, literally, as my brother and I are headed to a
funeral for our aunt, who passed after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
WalterEgo is doing the driving, while I'm doing the surfing, and my wireless
internet seems to be working pretty nicely. I'm not sure how well further
updates will work until we arrive back home, but so far this has worked pretty
well.
