Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Sony to Publish Ghostbusters in PAL Territories [Updated]
Written Wednesday, May 06, 2009 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

In what can only be described as a shock move, Sony today announced that they have picked up the publishing rights for the PAL version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game from Atari.

The title, set to launch exclusively on PS2 and PS3 on June 19th in PAL territories, now has its third publisher in as many years but this time, at a detriment to 360 owners.

It isn't all doom and gloom however for 360 owners, MCV are reporting that Atari are still planning to publish the title in PAL territories, but have stated it will be "later this year," rather than the originally planned June 19th.

No official word on the NTSC versions as of yet, but as soon as we hear, we'll update the story.

[Update:] We've spoke to Atari, and as suspected, this shift in publishing only affects the PAL territories. The NTSC release date will be as normal.

It's just publishing, not creating, guys. Game's pretty much done at this stage.

So does this mean the 360 won't get it 'till later this year? If so, FUCK. I've really been looking forward to this.

Thats stupid.

If sony think that people are going to go out and by a 360 just so they can play Ghostbusters they are having a laugh.
Its Ghostbusters.. Not a blow up doll that gives you a blow job and does the cleaning.

Was looking forward to the game as well. Ah well, If it collides with other goodies that are arriving this fall I guess it will be a purchase when price comes down.

Wouldn't rush to buy a PS3 for one game, As I didn't rush to get a 360 for one game. Although I got mine on release day :)

I have both consoles... so doesnt hugely bother me... but still i would prefer it on my 360...

I dont think this is Sonys fault. All they have done is picked up the PS3/PS2 PAL publishing rights... I dont see why this would effect Atari's release schedule.
The fact that the 360 version is coming later is presumably related to a delay in Atari and them screwing the PAL region as usual, rather then Sony causing a 360 release delay...

First Batman shifts to later this year and now no ghostbusters for UK in June. *sigh* what's left for release in summer now... sacred2 and Prototype...oh I don't feel quite so upset now, I can give each game its own quality time now

They are both to blame. Atari will still publish the "other" versions later in the year and make on it but have taken Sony's compensation payment for the loss of ps3 profits.

WTF! Honestly I was so excited about this game due to the fact I grew up with Ghostbusters and now Sony have for whatever reason made this move?

Surely this will be to their disadvantage as they would shift more copies if it was available for the 360 also and I do have a PS3 but to be honest haven't even turned it on since xmas, releasing it on ps3 is not going to make me go out and buy it on ps3... I want to play it with friend... and not spend 3 weeks looking for them first on playstation home

I know the game is expected to be a big seller but really? Do they expect it to be that good that it will shift PS3s? Have they not figured out yet that the price of their console is too much?

And now for my popular comment. Why Europe? What has this continent done to deserve gaming crap again?

Wow....just wow. Way to piss off every 360 owner in Europe. I have a PS3 but I will never buy any multi plattform title for the system again. They just went way too far this time.

Glad I get an NTSC Box this month so I can purchase the US version.

Yeah, "Boo Atari!" Selling out so Sony, like they did when Alone in the Dark came out first on 360...

Guys, just be glad that Sony is stupid enough to let the game come to 360, Wii and DS. Sony owns the Ghostbusters francise, so I was suprised when I heard about the game and heard that it´s NOT going to be Sony exclusive.

There's a difference, some people on here, between buying into something that was going to be an exclusive only (like some PS3 games, think FFXIII) and stopping non-exclusives by making them exclusive. I can't think of a time when MS has done the latter. The first would have been alright, this is just a douche move.

Erm... So basically Atari have put Ghostbusters, a game which to be perfectly honest is looking like it's worth a play through at best, decent but unspectacular, back to the end of the year on 360, where all the bigs guns, the triple A titles are vying for your hard earned? And in return for this, it launches as planned in a quiet period on the console with the least installed userbase?

Wow, Atari must really hate money.

Secondary releases never sell, because the game is old news by then. I may pick it up when it becomes bargain bin fodder.

Who ya gonna call....... Somebody else.
I was really looking forward to Ghostbuster and Batman:AA.
Now Batman delayed and Ghostbusters being put in back in the EU, hopefully Prototype will keep me busy.

It wouldn't be as bad if they delayed GB on 360 in all countries, but to just do it in the EU sucks

You guys are retards.

Sony bought the rights for PAL, they can do what they like for PAL.

Microsoft do the damn thing a lot more, except when they do, you guys don't complain because your damn fanboys.
As has been said, TLAD and Fallout 3 DLC, Microsoft only, no problems? Except for PS3 owners without an xbox.

Lucky I didn't want Ghostbusters though.

Wow, there's a lot of role reversal going on here...

Really, all companies do this stuff. Sucks for 360-only gamers in PAL, but you just got to deal, ya know?

At least 360-only owners in NTSC are safe and can get it on time as usual.

I don't think I'll lose sleep over this. Ghostbusters could be totally exclusive to PS3 in pal regions and I wouldn't give a shit.

It's like sony think this will make a difference.

As usual the U.K gets F***ed over yet again, Never mind it's just sony trying to put another feather in it's cap because there aren't enough decent games coming out on it this year (Apart from G.O.W.3)

The only other title i was looking forward to Yakuza 3 Still has yet to be announced for a western release!

It's like watching a tramp fighting for scraps lmao.

@112 its not just the UK mate, us here in Aus are suffering as well :(

All that annoys me is the fact that we've been told so late. I mean i just paid off my pre-order thinking it was coming out in a matter of weeks. Now the date has been changed its not due out for another 6months! I mean its not the end of the world, but its dam sure annoying! Just glad there will be other games to get me through

The game looks fun and it sucks for you guys overseas, but look at the positive side:

If the game licks balls and gets blasted in the press stateside, you won't have to waste any money on it, or can pick up a used copy for cheaper.

I know where NTSC and PAL are used, but is there anyone on this site who can actually explain to me what the hell the difference is? It seems like a universal format would be beneficial to everyone, and the language isn't a big deal whatsoever to translate for different versions.

Anyone know the deal?

That's a pretty crazy nove by Sony. Guess they're betting that Europe and Australia have a huge Ghostbusters fanbase. I live in the US and have both systems, so I know it doesn't pertain to me, but I use my PS3 as a BlueRay player anyways. I can't stand playing games on it.

Well i think its about time PAL got the better treatment.
We always get games released late so t his is just making up for it.

I have both consoles and i'm actually happy that sony did this, pathetic xbot fanboys can go to hell. I Hate fanboys of any kind. Scum of the earth.

@#124 Micro$oft only care about their money, its a shame. They make an awesome console but are a bunch of assholes.
Sony definitely treat their customers better, well damn right for my £400 :D

It would be funny if Atari only delayed the release < 1 month. I think Sony just knew the game was gonna be big so have decided they would like a slice of that super cash pie.

Unless your some kind of trog that will explode if they dont get a game when everyone else does I think this matter really doesn't effect anyone but the impatient.

just to summarize what i think i understand from this, because i think some people are misunderstanding... hell i could have it all backwards too...

but the game is coming out in America and any other NTSC using country in June on both PS3 and Xbox360... in Europe and Australia and any other PAL using country, it will come out in June for PS3 only and later in the year for Xbox...

so any american bitching about anything has no need to be concerned, it's our European friends getting screwed over on this one... i do sympathize because it does seem like they get the short end of the stick a little more often...
