I think I'll honestly check this game out when it's released. If Parker and Stone are covering the writing and voice acting, it'd have to be absolutely terrible gameplay to fail in my eyes.

Hmmm, what will sell it for me is whether they use 3d models of the South Park characters, or just use 2d things but in a 3d world, like Paper Mario. I wanna know if it will be third, first or overhead? TBH, if this is just New Vegas set in the south park world then ill be hooked.

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

Finarry!!! I've always thought South Park would make an awesome RPG, and believed nobody would ever do it. Obsidian, please don't mess this up - also, hire me to teach you how to not mess this up.

Could be interesting, though I admit I was a little taken aback.

I also notice the "let's all hate on Obsidian" bandwagon once again. Their loss, as ever.

If this doesn't work out I apologies in advance to all fellow gamers for all the bad press I'm going to bring in.

Because I'll burn Obsidian down.

On a serious note I eagerly await the info in the issue because if its another XBLA game then I'll be slightly disappointing. Fully fledged game = win.

Anyway, Obsidian's strength is writing and someone else is doing that. So why did they team up with Obsidian again? Why not Bioware?
Bioware would have wanted to put in romances. The world isn't ready for Cartman as a LI.

Noooo shiiiiiit.

I really like the Obsidian games, and I love South Park. The thought of a merger is.... weird. It'll be interesting to see how this actually turns out. I'm looking forward to it!

[EDIT]

2nd thought: are Obsidian ever going to create a new original IP? Since Alpha Protocol they've done great work expanding on others worlds with limited resources, but surely by now it's time to try again? This seems a little like backpedalling to me.

Nah, I think this will be a fully fledged game, like the Simpsons game. They wouldn't of done a cover for a little XBLA game, and Obsidian has never made an XBLA game so I dont think this will be one.

HA! Well put!

OT: This looks interesting. Nonetheless my interest still isn't piqued enough to warrant even a rental. (I'm a picky bastard when it comes to video games).

*sigh. I mean, my complete indifference toward South Park aside, do we really expect anything different than all the other cartoon based games? At least it's Obsidian. That's reassuringish.

So either Obsidian working for a humorous, morally grey world (i.e. their usual awesomeness with a fresh twist) or one of the worst train wrecks the industry has ever seen.

Either way, we win.

lol, I love that on the threads about crossing shit together to make a product everyone acts like "MAEK THIS GAME!!! I WILL BUY IT!!!" but when someone actually tries to make something similar to that everyone complaints about it being stupid.

I am interested in seeing what comes out of this, it may work.

Remember that the Disney/Square Enix collaboration was seen as screwy and look what it gave us - and oft-beloved, sometimes-hated action RPG series that now has more pointless spinoffs than actual interesting entries.

Seriously, did we really need anything other than Birth By Sleep and Chain of Memories? NONE of the others seem to have any real value to the story whatsoever, and where the hell is 3?
The planning for 3 won't even start until the lead creative design guy and combat engine teams finish work on FF 13 Versus. Since someone ordered a complete artistic design overhaul on 13 Versus shortly before 13 itself came out it's going to be awhile before any work starts on 3.

OT: If Parker and Stone are throwing their creative weight behind this then I hardly think it's going to be a crap cash grab. Remember how people laughed when they said they were going to write and produce their own broadway musical? Yeah, who's laughing now that its won a bunch of awards and is making a metric fuck ton of money.

I've enjoyed the work done by both teams in the past, so I have hopes for this game and stranger pairings have been done in the past like Kingdom Hearts.
