Ghostbusters Game Officially Picked up by Atari

It's been a while since we've had a good Ghostbusters Game (see above). So when we heard that the latest game was in limbo thanks to some publisher politics, we were quite disappointed. As we previously reported, the game was rumored to have been picked up by Atari. Now thanks to the latest investor relations call, it's been confirmed.

We had some hands on time with the game quite a while ago, and while we were a little disappointed, we still have high hopes for a fun experience. Currently there's no release date set for the 4 player co-op title, but with a money bag like this one you can probably bet on a holiday release NEXT YEAR. Boooooooooooo!

So....we DO know it's co-op? I thought originally it wasn't suppose to have co-op.

Why do companies keep doing this stupid stuff. Co-op is worthless, no one plays co-op anymore. It's just a waste of resources....oh wait wrong website I thought this was http://www.solo-megatron.com

My bad

Hahah.

There's a 4 player co-op mode, but it's not through the story. It's basically specific quick missions.

While I'm still psyched for this game, I am disappointed at the level of coop in it. It just seems like a no-brainer to make the entire campaign 4 player coop. There can't be many IPs that are MORE designed for coop than this one.

Hey, at least it got picked up. And they've going to give it more time in the oven, which is a good thing if the rumors held true.

I thought it was funny

Yeah, the franchise has great co-op moments:

One person (or more if needed) tags the ghost, another lays the trap.

Have big levels where players could split up to find the ghost faster.

But at least it's still being published and the developers are still working on it.
