Forums - Gaming - RUMOR: Sony to publish Ghostbusters as PS3 exclusive

SpartanFX on 07 August 2008

 

I personally think that the article is wrong casue the dev team spent time on other versions aswell but anyways here is the new rumor:

 

it says that chostbusters will be published by sony as PS3 exclusive,,,

 

"

The Ghostbusters IP is owned by Sony Pictures and it has been stated that in light of this game losing Activision as the publisher it gave Sony Pictures some time to reevaluate the marketing strategy.  

“this has presented [Sony Pictures Consumer Products] with an opportunity to reevaluate the game release marketing strategy to potentially coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film in ‘09.”

This hints that the game either already has a publisher or Sony Pictures plan on releasing this game eventually by finding one.

Now the word on the street is Sony Pictures turned to internal Sony Computer Entertainment division to have this game published under the Playstation branch. Up to this point everything sounds plausible.

No way it'll be PS3 exclusive, and that game doesn't have any significance so it doesn't even matter.

Destructoid received preview copies of the game for both the PS3 and 360 just a few days ago. And I'm pretty sure kotaku received the same.

I'm trying to think of a reason for Sony to spend money on this game instead of more important ones... If this is true, it's the definitive proof that they can't outbid Microsoft on big games.

But I doubt it's true...

1. Since so much $$ has already been spent creating other versions and this not a 5m+ seller type of game to make up that costs, it is not conceivable that they would turn it into an exclusive.

2. Just re-read #1.

Hmm that will be an interesting rent. Don't think it'll be PS3 exclusive.
