One-liner: Why There's No Cover Mechanic in 'Ghostbusters'
Posted 3/19/09 11:00 am EST by Tracey John in Atari, ghostbusters, one liner, PC, PS3, Terminal Reality, Xbox 360
"We discussed this with the developer [Terminal Reality]. We all thought, 'When you have ghosts would it really make sense to have cover mechanics?' Because ghosts can go through solid objects! [laughs] So it would really kind of break the fiction that the Ghostbusters world sets up. If you went with a cover mechanic, it would make it much too similar to a real type of shooter out there. So we added the other things that would make sense. Like running really fast, having a sprint that's really accessible because they're going all over the place, and dodge mechanics because [enemies] have a lot of ranged attacks."
-- Atari senior producer Garrett Moehring during a recent demo on how the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version of "Ghostbusters" is different than other third-person shooters.

Why Activision Let Go Of 'Ghostbusters' And '50 Cent' Games
Posted 11/5/08 6:30 pm EST by Stephen Totilo in 50 Cent, activision, ghostbusters
During today's Activision Blizzard earnings call, a financial analyst asked the company's CEO, Bobby Kotick, why the company didn't keep all of Vivendi's games when the two gaming companies merged.
The analyst didn't name any games, but technically, he had to be referring to the likes of "Ghostbusters," "50 Cent: Blood On The Sand" and the new "Riddick," which all appear to have found new publishing homes.
So, Mr. Kotick, why not keep hold of these games which were deep into development and anticipated by gamers? Read More...
