It looks like the first
victims of the Activision merger will be
Ghostbusters,
Brutal Legend, and .
50: Blood in the Sand. While not unexpected this is a bit of a blow for those of us (i.e. me) that were looking forward to these games. I can see them passing on
Brutal Legend (niche market) and
Blood in the Sand (first game sold like crap) but
Ghostbusters had sure fire hit written all over it (at least commercially). I can see other publishers picking up the games as they are fairly close to completetion.
Activision is also going to be re-aligning staff at some of the studios, including the folks at High Moon Studios (the people behind
The Bourne Conspiracy).
Update (Chuck): It's been pointed out that just because it's not on the list, doesn't mean they aren't publishing it so we may want to hold off on the wake until Activision says something definite.
