Why Robin Makes Batman Better Terminal Reality plans to start licensing the technology behind their upcoming title Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
Atari hopped up from their New York Comic Con attendance, just dropped this fresh look at their upcoming Ghostbusters game. Ghostbusters : The Video Game will be hitting six platforms come June 16.
This is a corrected version of the story that ran earlier today by AJ. In it we incorrectly stated that Bill Murray’s voice would not be in the game. We reconfirmed with Atari that Murray’s voice will be in the game. We apologise for any confusion.
Usually when a game goes for simultaneous multi-platform releases, I immediately write off the Wii version.
Can you blame me? Empirically, the Wii suffers from “bastard stepchild port” syndrome, which leaves Wii owners like yours truly high and dry when it comes to triple-A titles.
Luckily, Ghostbusters: The Video Game on Wii isn’t a port of the PS3/360 version, so much as a reimagining of the same game from the ground up. The voice work is similar and the script is almost entirely the same – but the level designs, control scheme, and cartoony style of animation are all made with the Wii in mind.
The DS version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the only place you’ll see Bill Murray’s character, Peter Venkman, in this new generation of ghostbusting games.
Nobody looks at Tom Hanks and says “He sucks, I hate him and every movie he’s ever been in.” Similarly, nobody hears “Ghostbusters” and thinks “They suck, I hate them.”
It’s been a long, strange trip for Ghostbusters: The Video Game, but we’re one step closer to the end today as Atari announces a June 2009 multi-platform release for the eagerly anticipated title.
We broke the news that Atari was picking up the Ghostbusters game way back in September and we’ve since heard both confirmation and a release window from Atari. But now they’ve sent along this handy-dandy official press release on the whole matter pointing out what we already know and reassuring us that Terminal Reality is still developing the game.
Odd timing or a reminder that while GameStop may not be listing the game anymore, Ghostbusters The Video Game still exists?
Tagged on every lanyard at Penny Arcade Expo was the game’s name (glow in the dark) but, alas, no release date… or publisher.
So we know that Double Fine’s musical epic Brutal Legend is fine, because Tim Schafer told us so. We also know that it’s not going to be published by Vivendi or by MTV. But who is going to put out this Jack Black anthem? According to at least one source the game’s future publisher is none other than Electronic Arts.
Neither EA nor Double Fine would comment on the rumour, but it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch. After all Electronic Arts has been expanding their Partners division, landing top tier titles like Harmonix’ Rock Band, Valve’s Left 4 Dead and most recently id Software’s Rage.
And who knows, if Electronic Arts Partners picks up Double Fine’s Brutal Legend maybe they’ll snatch up Ghostbusters The Video Game too.
