what he said ^

Listen. And understand. That Misterioso is out there. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead..drunk.

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this . . . I read all the news posts saying it was going to make an appearance but no show.

    What's up with that, I'm trying to find more information because I was there all day Friday . . . is it just showing up on the weekend?

    I'm wondering this, too. I couldn't find Ghostbusters: The Video Game, either. (I wouldn't wonder about this, but it was on my badge thing.)

    I think they announced this back before the game got dropped off of release lists. See, they announced the Ecto-1 publicity stuff in June, but in July Activition released a list of the games they were working on - and Ghostbusters was off the list. They claim it will still be released at some point and isn't (and won't be) cancelled, and Kotaku even got a test-build of the game. But apparently Activision isn't really on a PR kick with the game anymore, so we get nothing.

    That's my theory. But then, we did get Ghostbusters lanyards...

    You'd think the lanyards would be good enough to let us know something will be here, yet I have seen nothing either. I will try to do some snooping around and let you guys know if I find out anything.

    That's what I was guessing/fearing...but you'd think they'd have enough mercy to stop the advertisements before the convention. :\

    We were talking to an Enforcer on Friday night, and apparently they dropped out pretty late in the game. Shame.

    I do find it amusing that you were able to play the game and stuff (if I remember rightly) at Comic-Con.

    ...Well, at least they had a booth.

    Misinformation. Activision is no longer publishing ANY Vivendi/Sierra games except ICe Age, Spyro, and Crash Bandicoot. As of now ghostbusters doesn't have a publisher. Sierras booth was replaced by a Guitar Hero booth, and Ghostbusters plus the Ecto-1 are MIA till another company picks it up.
