Media Markt remove immediately 360 version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game

evrfighter - 125 days 19 hours ago

don't see what the deal is, It's not like Sony's losing out on sales from either console port...

Sony's acting like the kid in the sandbox who's taking his toys and going home..lol

Nothing to do with Sony, it was Atari Benelux, if you read the article.

they had an agreement with Atari, which Atari obviously violated. Who cares if they lose sales or not, the point is that Atari broke the agreement and should be sued.

AS a matter of fact, sony IS losing money on each 360 version sold. Sure, Sony pictures owns the rights to Ghostbusters, their share of each sale is unaffected, but Sony Computer Entertainment gets a chunk from each sale of the PS3 version, a chunk which would otherwise go to Microsoft if a 360 version is sold.
Still, Sony isn't directly behind this, Atari is, although that's likely due to licensing agreements with Sony.

360's version is hands down the best version to have, i'm hoping to have this game some time soon, the graphics are really nice looking.

everyone in that game looks near 100 percent the way they looked during that time.

Well, while all the money may go to Atari in the end, Atari Benelux have their own interests and profits to look after, meaning, every single import that is sold, Atari Benelux aren't getting their publishing cut of it. When the 360 version officially releases in Europe, that's when they make their money.

pixelsword - 125 days 11 hours ago

The gameplay's the thing.

That being said, if it's identical, and you have both consoles, get it on the 360 because it's the better looking one if you're into graphics; just make sure your 360 can handle your gameplay time and you're good to go. :)

Okay, that also being said, if you want to "cut heads" between the 360 and PS3 in the graphics department, I'm sorry; There are four games out there that whips on all games graphically: Killzone 2, Lair, Uncharted, and MGS4. Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 are tied for fifth to me, but that's not taking away anything from the games, because both are awesome, but that's only a testament to how slick those four games are.

hateroftheyear - 125 days 10 hours ago

If you wanna talk Graphics MGS4, Uncharted 1&2,and Killzone FTW, till you can name a 360 game that tops any of those your avatar is obsolete, you might as well go back to the equally retarded "$249". Oh and here's a tip: when trying to bad mouth the ps3, stick to sales & price point cause arguing better graphics is like arguing reliability it's pointless, so until 360 tops or comes remotely close to the 4 games mentioned STFU and give the multi plat comparisons a rest.

just off the top of my head you would have to factor in MGS4 better AI, sometimes full scale wars in the background, and don't forget Octo camo was cool as S**t. resident evil is no light weight though, they both had great gun upgrade systems.

pixelsword - 125 days 9 hours ago

I forgot about that one; Hmmm... maybe RE5 could go fourth in terms of graphics. I wouldn't have a problem with that. I could go either way, though; because every pic people being up is in the middle east; try to look at some of the other locales, it's really very well done.

In terms of gameplay, I personally couldn't get into the gameplay myself; it was just a little too fast-paced for the action going on in comparison to 4 (by just a hair, which made it a little too repetitive and hectic when the room filled-up with zombies to me... especially since it played almost like 4)

The fact that you want to pretend the difference was "miniscule" is laughable and desperate.

This forum is well-enough informed about videogames to see that the PS3 version no "little bit" worse; it was a v-e-r-y great difference.

Yeah wow.

I can't believe people are STILL downplaying the astonishingly poor ps3 version of ghostbusters.

We all know that it runs at 56% resolution, has reduced textures and an exemplary iteration of the famous ps3 'vaseline' effect.

The comments downplaying the above sound like an extreme case of self-brainwashing not at all unlike the double-think in George Orwell's 1984:

Just look at the metacritic score. One got 78, the other got 80. OMG 78! It must be unplayable compared to other version! Let's forget the fact that 70% of multiconsole games released this year scored higher on the PS3 or tied the 360 score vs scoring higher on the 360...everyone knows the 360 somehow has better games, despite what the vast majority of professional gamer reviews tell us.

commodore64 - 124 days 3 hours ago

Unbelievable.

Undeniably, the ps3 version sports:
56% resolution, blurred textures, vaseline effect.
The game was even LED on the ps3 sku, negating the usual multiplat excuse.

And still darkride calls these atrocious shortcomings "miniscule".
Unbelievable.
I fear for Darkride's mental health, i really do.

I think a new record in damage control has been set by darkie, above.
Darkride deserves a cheque and a pat on the back from Sony, imo.
He has earned it, well and truly!

ok we get it ghost buster looks better on 360....... so what now, I mean seriously what do we do now. does that finally prove that the 360 is more powerful than the ps3(cause it's not)? or that it is easier to develop for (cause we all already knew that. like I said just because some developers suck @ developing/porting ps3 games does not mean the system sucks or "omg epic failz". Let me let you in on a secret, and this goes for all consoles there are too many quality games to choose from, instead of settling with a crappy port, especially @ $60. that is my opinion on the matter, and there is no denying the ps3 version is inferior to the 360 version, however there are so many games that surpass ghost busters in many ways on both systems. But for SODA to make it his avatar that's just taking the inner fanboy thing to another level, dude it's a multi plat, leave a comment and LET IT GO! is it hurting you that ps3 version is inferior... no. I bet you probably don't even own the game on 360, and if you do..... why don't you.... *gasp* ....go play it, or any other game, but of course you won't do that cause you're no gamer....never was... you're just a fanboy hired to do some wet work lolz
