That's incredibly gutsy on Phil's behalf, but I think that it's also the right attitude to have in the gaming industry. I guess that shows that he's really hoping to put some serious polish on the game.
Well Mr. Harrison, I hope my $60.00 for the PS3 version of Ghostbuster helps you achieve that 100m mark. Good luck!
Anyone who's an enemy of Kotick is my friend. I fucking hope that fat fucking ginger gets what he deserves.
Niiiiice, stick it right up Kotick's ass, Harrison.
RIGHT. UP. THERE.
And tell him GHOSTBUSTERS SENT YA!

Coldbrand, very mature, attack him on something that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Well done.
Anywho, the gaming industry could do with more heat. Well played, Mr.Harrison.

I really hope that Harrison actually means that they intend to make a quality game, because simply to "turn Ghostbusters into a $100m franchise, just to prove [Kotick] wrong" is not saying much of anything. Devs make million dollar franchises out of mediocre games all the time.
Oh, they will. I've seen the buzz around Ghostbusters already, and it just gets bigger as the anticipation sets in.
I love Atari for picking Ghostbusters and The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena up. Who the fuck in their right mind would ditch those two? I hated the Riddick movies, but the first game was amazing and it sold really well. Why would they assume this remake/extension wouldn't sell just as well or better? As for Ghostbusters, it's the fucking Ghostbusters! The real Ghostbusters with the original cast, who the hell wouldn't buy that? Activision is full of idiots obviously.
I use to work for both Activision and Vivendi. The dicks at Activision are lucky they have CoD and Tony Hawk to bail them out because most of their games are pieces of shit that they put out based on what the next big movie of the year will be. Vivendi on the other hand was coming into their own, but they made the stupid decision to buy Activision, then give their CEO control over the new company.
Look, I don't mean to apologise for Activision or anything, but can we get over the use of the word "exploit" for a minute? It does have more than one meaning as a verb, after all. When I first started working in rights (for TV programmes) I admit it sounded funny to me, too, when people went round talking about exploitation in different territories, but they only mean it of course in the context of the term 'commercial exploits'. It may be a slightly unfortunate word, but it's not the wrong one to use, really.
On the other hand I think it definitely is worth talking about why Activision think that yearly exploitation is the only worthwhile and profitable thing to invest in. I don't buy that at all.

I'm still trying to think of a good reason why Activision dropped this title. Factoring in the good buzz, recognizable IP, and just straight nostalgia factor, this thing is a can't lose situation. The only question about it is how MUCH money it's going to make.
They went full retard.

Guitar:
They only want games that they can release yearly for at least ten years, according to Kotick. Since Ghosbusters lacks that kind of mileage, they dropped it.
Essentially, Activision wants to become a sequel factory. That publisher is going to herald a new videogame crash one day, you watch.

I'm buying Ghostbusters!
I think Atari's faith in the game should be rewarded...also cause I think the game is gonna be good...

Is there an unwritten rule out there that whenever a game company becomes number one, they have to turn into super douches?
Hell YES. Ghostbusters was awesome. I'd rather have the Ghostbusters game than all Guitar Hero games combined.
vouchsafed it. Outwardly I only thanked man, crying, Thank you, thank cheap adapalene
