In a shock move, Sony has negotiated a deal with Atari to publish the upcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game. The game will be released in Europe and PAL regions on June 19 for PS3 and PS2. A PSP version will follow in the autumn.

“We’re committed to bringing the PlayStation family the biggest and best gaming experiences first,” says Mark Hardy, European Product Marketing Director at SCEE, “and it doesn’t get any bigger and better than this blockbuster title. This summer, PlayStation owners will be the first to grab their proton packs and fight the spirit world. We’d like to wish them the best of luck in their ghostbusting endeavours and, of course, to remind them not to cross the streams!”

WOW?.....I wish I could be amazed, but I'm not, because it's Ghostbusters and I grew out of that as a child.



Twesterm won't be able to play his own game straight away without spitting at the screen



 

$ony!



Pixel Art can be fun.

Well, I guess this is good news for PS3 owners in Europe.



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Guidelines to understanding my train of thought:

  • THE METAL GEAR SOLID FRANCHISE IS THE BEST THING TO HIT THE PLANET SINCE THE PS3!! THUS, MGS FRANCHISE >> SLICED-BREAD.
  • Solid Snake shall and well always shove 1up mushrooms up Mario's ass. 
  • Solid Snake shall and well always decimate Master Chief with a flurry of rocket launchers, shotgun rounds, and a 20 minute monologue.

Why did you omit this part?

"According to MCV the game will still arrive on non-Sony platforms, with Atari to publish the games later in the year.

Is this a sign that Sony is stepping up its efforts to drive gamers to the PS3? Are you angry that you'll no longer be able to play the game on 360 and Wii this summer? Let us know in the comments below."



@ non-gravity: I'm not angry at all, I don't play games as much as I used to, and I'm only focused on certain games that catch my attention. Most kids these days don't even know what Ghostbusters was. They missed the golden age of childrens cartoons.



There were Ghostbusters cartoons ?

I only remember movies :D

If I am reading this correctly, this just applies to PAL territories.

I wonder if Atari sold that for some quick cash -- given its financial situation.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Ghostbusters should help boost PS3 and PSP sales. Ghostbusters is exclusive to Sony.
