From my experience selling games; movie and TV show games are literally the worst ones to release every year. "But Some_Guy, The Ghostbusters game was pretty go--" It was, because it wasn't a tie-in directly related to a coinciding movie or tv show. Most of the time the development cycle on these games are less than a year.
Do you know who has quite a few of these cash-in titles? Activision. Remember Terminal Reality? How they shut down? What was their last game again? oh right, Walking Dead Survival Instinct. Guess who the publisher was--Activision. Not to mention that Activision wanted to scrap the original 2009 GB game for reasons that I don't remember right now.
Regardless, the game isn't going to be bad because UUUGGGHH FEEGBUSTARZ!1!1!!1 it's because to be bad because Activision is going to hire an either struggling studio, or unknown studio, to pull an intense rushjob on this game. The worst part is, is that if the game does rate poorly, it's always on the devs fault--never on the pushy, pushy publisher.
