It is important to note that no mention of any changes with the North American release of the game are mentioned in the press release and Destructoid reports that the Atari release here moves forward unaffected. The only nugget of speculation for why this publishing change happened so late is that this is somehow tied to Columbia Pictures, who is owned by Sony, distributing the movie all those years ago. In any case, this is a major bummer for PAL territories. Personally, I blame Ray for thinking about it and making it true.
