Obsidian Unveils South Park RPG

[GamingAwesome1]

Well, the last South Park game made was actually pretty kick ass! South Park's track record with video games definitely improved with me due to the XBLA tower defense game.

So, I'll definitely be checking this one out, if only to see how they handle this ridiculous and frankly, awesome idea!

 

[fleischwolke]

I am looking forward to this - can you imagine the mods?

THQ and Obsidian!? This is not going to end well.

Imagine all the bugs Obsidian and the cheapskates from THQ are going to form some wicked potion.

Obsidian can make this work. There's enough character in South Park and enough craziness to make it work. The only thing I'm afraid of happening it the inevitable bugs that seem to PLAGUE Obsidian's work. I'm gonna keep an eye on this and hope for the best.

 

[MaxwellEdison]

How would that even work?
Seriously, I can't imagine this.

 

[Krantos]

I see no possible way this could be bad at all. Really.

/sarcasm

I think this is the video game developers' version of slumming it. Nothing wrong with South Park really, as they tend to be at least a little intelligent with their humor (unlike things like Family Guy), but it's just not Game material. Seriously.

What are are they going to have you do? Level up sarcasm and Swearing. Do you get to farm exp by killing Kenny?

 

[CleverCover]

I admit, I went, "huh?"

This....could be totally awesome or it could be a huge fail.
I hope they make a demo...

Curious how bugs are celebrated or glossed-over in Skyrim, but Obsidian gets a pie in the face for their buggy RPGs.

Curious how bugs are glossed over in Skyrim? Go check the forums of this website and I guarantee you'll find about 20 threads complaining about bugs in Skyrim.

Not to mention that pretty much everyone who bought New Vegas on launch never got to finish with their starting character due to a patch destroying the game. That and the fact that they generally always get stuck with sequels and still having the game act worse than it's predecessor.

So, a company that never released an original and successful IP is going to fuck with South Park now... LEAVE MY CHILDHOOD ALONE, YOU ALREADY RUINED NEVERWINTER NIGHTS!

 

[FamoFunk]

I have a feeling that I am going to be buying this game when it comes out. The last south park game I played was amazing. Plus this one is being made by Obsidian and writen by the writers of south park. There is no way this can be a bad game.

Agreeing with page 1 guy. I think I really will end up with this in my collection.

Except I've never played previous games, can I ask, Satsuki, what one did you play?

 

[Brawndo]

I predict a good plot and well-written dialogue combined with bland and forgettable gameplay

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I hope this game is good. Cause gosh dang it, from the Game Informer Cover, it does look pretty awesome (Especially if you look at the Reflection). Dear lord, let this game be fun.

 

[Sinspiration]

I expected better of Obsidian.. How sad

 

[RatRace123]

So many negative Nancys here. You guys should stop unless you want everyone calling you Negative Nancy from now on.

I heard a few more details about this and at the very least, with the game being written by Matt and Trey it should be funny.

 

[Baralak]

I love South Park, but the games have usually been bad (except for Let's Go Tower Defense, that one rocked). Can't really say anything about Obsidian as I've never played any of their games. So, I guess I'm cautionally optimistic. I wan't it to be good, but I'm not so sure it will be.

Really? You never played Fallout: New Vegas, Alpha Protocol, Knights of the Old Republic 2, any of them?

Well lets see, New Vegas and KOTOR 2 were not only very successful but far superior to their predecessors, as well as the fact that the Neverwinter Nights 2 Expansion Mask of the Betrayer is constantly cited as some of the best writing found in video games.

And really Fallout is more theirs than Bethesdas, since the people at Obsidian worked on the originals.

South Park is in the best possible hands.

Excuse me.

What.

KotOR 2, probably the most unfinished retail game I've ever played, was better than KotOR.

I don't want to live on this pla... No, I don't want you on this planet anymore. To Uranus you go, now.

Because ever since they ruined Neverwinter Nights, a popular and probably most fun online RPG of all time, and turned it into a DECENT single player game with HORRIBLE multiplayer. Imagine Battlefield removing half of the multiplayer content in order to get more CoD-like single player.

Or WoW becoming a single-player RPG.

Or WoW becoming a single-player RPG.

Or imagine Warcraft becoming an MMORPG.

Oh, wait...
