South Park RPG Class List Includes the Jew

[Valanthe]

Fox is gonna have a field day with this, and it will be GLORIOUS.

No, Fox wont touch this. Then MSNBC will go apeshit over this and point out how hypocritical Fox is they see the jew class and DONT rail on it like they would rant and rail on an offensive video game that is anything less than favorable to either christianity or conservative views like intolerance toward homosexuality.

Most likely a double dip from Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow me thinks.

Fair enough. point still stands though, it should be good for some laughs. Let's face it, we all know that they named the class Jew for the express purpose of pissing someone off enough to get them free advertising.

No! They had an episode in which the entire gang dressed up as D&D characters and played a quest like the one in Lord of the Rings! Then Kyle, the Jew of the gang, said his class was a Paladin, but Cartman, the asshole fatass called him a Jew and said that Jews can't be Paladins.
It's a joke referring to the show!

I love the concept and the fact they're not doing it in 3D.(I know they use 3D programs to make the show)

Spoiler: I mean I'm glad its not like this.

If they can maintain the visual style and humor of the show, it might actually be good!

actually they DON'T use 3D programs to make the show, When I saw their studio, it looked like they used Flash, or something VERY similar. The 3 dimensional aspects seen in the show are from either external flash plugins, or cropped clips imported over other things in the scene.

Kind of a mix

When the show began using computers, the cardboard cutouts were scanned and re-drawn with CorelDRAW, then imported into PowerAnimator, which was used with SGI workstations to animate the characters. The workstations were linked to a 54-processor render farm that could render 10 to 15 shots an hour. Beginning with season five, the animators began using Maya instead of PowerAnimator. The studio now runs a 120-processor render farm that can produce 30 or more shots an hour.

Actually, they use Maya, which is a 3d program. They've talked about it a couple of times. They might use Flash too though, I dunno.

Anyway, I'm still really excited for this game. I love South Park and I love Obsidian, so they seem like a great match.

I love the idea that the kids are all just roleplaying within the game. Just like

Spoiler: This Episode

The cynic in me says TV tie-in game, probably crap. But I love South Park so I want it to be good.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

i am very intrigued....YES XD

can't wait to see some more about the game.

I am actually aware of where the reference came from, I've watched more than enough of the show that I won't be surprised if one of the raid bosses is "That Which Has No Life" and can only be defeated by a player wielding the "Sword of a Thousand Truths." My orignal post was a reference to the fact that Parker and Stone aren't afraid to skewer "hot button" topics for laughs and ratings.

On that note however, a few predictions:

There will be a quest/mob involving Pink Eye zombies and worchestershire sauce
We will Kenny, us bastards.
We will also kill Hippies and Scientologists

Anything else, or should I just stop while I'm ahead?

Well, guess what game's not shipping to Germany now.

 

[DustyDrB]

The combat sounds like it will be a combination of Paper Mario and Final Fantasy VII. It will be turned-based but you'll definitely get chances to react to attacks with a timed button press. But the whole gimmick of the game is that all the kids are pretending they are casting spells and bashing each other with maces, but they are actually doing real life things like throwing something on fire pretending it's a magic missile.

It sounds like Costume Quest. But I loved that game. And I love Obsidian. And I...well I don't dislike South Park. Haven't watched it in ages though.

 

[Smeggs]

I just hope ManBearPig is a summon. When I saw him on the cover I was like, "Yes."

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well you would expect them to make humorous classes all around but this just stinks of accountant humor, you know the one where noone laughs... ever.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Oh this is bullshit. Look at all the Jewish-jokes flying around here, but I make one joking reference to 'beige' being 'Jewish racing gold' in a thread and I receive a mod warning. What the hell?!

Whatever. But, a Southpark game? Might be all right, as long as they don't censor the shit Matt and Trey are allowed to come up with. And anyone who doesn't get the whole Jew-class thing needs to watch more Southpark, specifically the LOTR episode.

 

[Hookman]

The list of available classes is Fighter, Mage, Thief, Cleric and ... Jew.

Wait a minute....Thief and Jew? Isn't that just redundant?

I am so, so sorry. I couldn't stop myself.

On topic, the way they describe the class makes it sound like a MOSSAD agent. If Cartman is making the game, why would he use the basis of the ultimate badass Israeli for his stereotype?

You goddamn joke ninja! We're both going to Jewish Hell aren't we?
OT: Did anyone expect different? Its South Park! If its not morally dead then whats the point?!

CAPTCHA: Polfice Recorded

Take out the 'f' and I would be very, very worried.

 

[surg3n]

If Jews get offended at SouthPark, then they should stop being so fucking Jewish.

Seriously, every single race or religion can find something to be offended about if they look hard enough I'm offended by the way stupid people are depicted in cartoons, because I'm stupid. Everything is fair game, everything from your religion, your skin colour, and any diseases you might have. Accept it, laugh at it, because people need to stop taking this crap so seriously. There is more offensive material in Family Guy and the Simpsons than in South Park IMO, because South Park has always had the same attitude, you know what to expect - nobody has a right to be shocked at what they see in South Park.

Personally I can see me choosing the Jew class, sounds like a pretty good idea to have the power based on health, I'm intruiged.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

FUCK
this just killed the game for me since in the german version the Jew class will be immortal and one-hit everything, thanks guys.

Love it mate! Nice one!

Unfortunately I cannot take the micky out Jew myself, as I do not have any Jewish friends! They are not very common in the UK! :S

 

[CrazyJew]

I am a Jew and I approve of this. It's heil-airous.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Some Jewish community will take offences to this in 3, 2, 1...
