I still remember the original Ghostbusters game on the C64....and after god-knows-how-man-years I still remember the name and code for max cash "Tai Ling Wu" 31722246

Ah, the memories.

Yeah, i remember the activision C64 version as well

Just taking a look at this new release, at Amazon they have a clip up for it as well http://www.amazon.co.uk/Atari-Ghostb.../dp/B000ZLR1CY does look really good from what i have seen. Have to keep an eye on this

Not a happy chappy, had this pre-ordered for the 360 and now I have to wait longer. Think I will cancel it now.

LOL yeah every single link off the main Hexus site has that.

Mind I guess if it hits the PS3 first I can con a mate or two with one to go buy it and let me have a shot, if it sucks then I saved myself a nostalgic buy.

Well, in NA it's still coming out for other systems (PC, X360, DS, Wii) on the same day as the PS3 + PS2 (June 16th). It's only Europe that Sony have the launch for June 19th (25th anniversary and blu-ray launch day) with other systems to follow later.

Probably will end up being a Movie rip-off

[Trash Man]

Also had it on pre-order for the 360 but I can wait a little longer. There are a lot of games out at the end of May, start of June that I want.

I can't see it not getting released on the other platforms, it's not like it's going to be a massive game that's going to get people buying an PS3 and it will already be out on the other platforms in NA.

Damn i was gonna pre-order this for my xbox as well.
At least batman is still coming out on both

[kalniel]

As I said before, it is getting released on other platforms, just not at the same time (still this year though).

[kopite]

Yeah but there will still be the delay prolly 6 months at least.

I suppose with me only just getting my xbox it means I will have more time to play fable 2 and SF4 and then batman

[mediaboy]

What it is with them buying all these exclusive rights?

Anyone would think that they're trying to get some business going or something...

[Yosh]

I was looking forward to this... Oh well at least PS3 has a good game now.

[kopite]

According to wired it will be published by sony on PS2 and ps3 and a psp version later in the year.

Atari will publish the game on the other formats in autumn.

I borrowed Ghostbusters 2 from someone on the Spectrum when I was a kid. He moved off somewhere near the Merseyside. I never did send him that tape back

It is annoying that Sony have done this. It really is annoying. Instead of making me want to buy a PS3, I actually feel like I will never buy one

And Ghostbusters looks like it would be great in Co-op. "Don't cross the beams"
