underwhelming, limited audience, bound to be crap. Calling it now.

Spoiler

Might be okay...

 

[Empty]

i can't wait to see the moral choices between siding with the stupid left or right which are exactly as stupid as eachother and the noble, enlightened libertarian middle.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Honestly, I'd take a South Park RPG done by most anybody at this point.

I think that statement pretty much sums up the real sentiment expressed in this thread.

 

[goldenpp72]

Not sure what all the negativity is about? This has the potential to be amazing if done right. Is obsidian a bad dev?

 

[Kintaro]

I guess Obsidian has found the game that will put them under. =(

 

[Mdk7]

Biggest underwhelmathon... ever?
Seriously, this is ridiculous.

 

[Derrick01]

They're writing the game. Obsidian isn't.
So you've got an Obsidian game where Obsidian isn't performing the role they're good at.

That's fine with me. I don't want to play a South Park game with Obsidian doing all of the writing. This likely isn't supposed to be some super deep RPG like New Vegas, I WANT Matt and Trey doing the script and dialogue so it's as funny as the show. I doubt Obsidian could do that on their own.

 

[Zeliard]

How can you say that with a straight face?



... Do you have a straight face on?

Yeah, and I think Obsidian is in fact a great developer. Oh noes, controversial statement.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

That was my first thought as well.

Yup same here. They just have a track record for making some of the buggiest games there are.

 

[PaleFolklore]

I will definitely give this a go. It certainly is surprising that this is even being made, especially by Obsidian.

 

[def sim]

why would we be concerned about obsidian not writing the whole thing when the creators are willing to do it? they're very good

sidequests and other extras will most likely be put on obsidian. i doubt matt and trey are going to write the entire game, nonetheless an rpg

 

[X26]

Not sure what all the negativity is about? This has the potential to be amazing if done right. Is obsidian a bad dev?

it's because people were getting their hopes up and expecting a megaton

 

[duckroll]

Maybe some people just don't like South Park? That's a possibility.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I will say this- GI was correct. This was surprising.

 

[Nemo]

SP Creators writing script

Ehh, not sure if I'm totally down with that

 

[shandy706]

Sounds awesome to me!

A lot of narrow minded gamers here. I enjoyed the South Park Tower Defense game, so count me very interested.

 

[Kraftwerk]

 

[kharak]

But... but... this isn't a surprise. Obsidian already announced they were working in a Adapting A Leading Animation Franchise. We didn't not know it was South Park but .... dammit, I want my Homeworld 3 !!

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Internet denizens.

 

[Marleyman]

Bring it.

 

[The Technomancer]

My favorite modern RPG dev tackling a seemingly bizarre IP (that I also love)

Yeah, I'm actually hyped for this

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

That's the only good part about it.

RPG isn't bad either but yeah, I agree.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

...

Called it.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

lolwat

 

[Oneself]

I said wow.

What a terrible idea it is to hype twitter comments from attention whores on GAF.

 

[Carl]

Ermmm no thanks

 

[djplaeskool]

I will give this a try...but I do so with the utmost trepidation.
Will be looking forward for more information, as I am as on-the-fence about this as I could be.

 

[Corto]

1. Obsidian has a good number of Fallout 2 developers on staff.
2. Obsidian Knocks it out of the park with New Vegas
3. Obsidian hires Fallout creator
4. Bethesda comes out with new engine
5. Obsidian announces.. south park?

There are bills to pay. Devs need to eat just like us normal people.

 

[Ashodin]

I'll leave this here too

 

[Kurtofan]

Obsidian means I'll love it.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Awesome.

Odd to think there might be decent South Park games in our future.

 

[op_ivy]

hoy crap! well, that was sure a surprise!

 

[TSAGoodness]

I seem to be the only one excited for this. I love southpark and love RPGs, and love when Southpark references video games. Bring it on!

 

[Brazil]

Yeah, and I think Obsidian is in fact a great developer. Oh noes, controversial statement.

I'm actually happy for you. I'd love to be able to like Obsidian games. They have great concepts.

 

[charlequin]

Is obsidian a bad dev?

Obligatory:

 

[Neuromancer]

What the fuck? Is today April 1st?

Kind of awesome though. I'm crossing my fingers for this one.

 

[Coxy]

well that's certainly a surprise. couldn't possibly be less interested

 

[The Return of]

Lol this is really unexpected, but if it's done in an Earthbound/Costume Quest type way, I think I'll be there day 1!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I'm genuinely surprised that more people are not concerned about this.

Well, South Park is written pretty well, so I'd rather have the show's writers do more of the writing.

 

[Zeliard]

RPG isn't bad either but yeah, I agree.

Obsidian only makes RPGs so I'm not sure how it's meaningful to point that out.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

it's because people were getting their hopes up and expecting a megaton

I didn't get my hopes up and expected nothing less than disappointment, but I find this shit to be far worse than just disappointment would've been.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Wow I can't believe they thought I would give a shit about this.

 

[Nasreddin]

That's fine with me. I don't want to play a South Park game with Obsidian doing all of the writing. This likely isn't supposed to be some super deep RPG like New Vegas, I WANT Matt and Trey doing the script and dialogue so it's as funny as the show. I doubt Obsidian could do that on their own.

This! Why should Obsidian write the dialogue?

 

[Chavelo]

You've gotta be kidding me?

This is what people at Game Informer were "so excited" to see their readers react to? This was the most "shocking" cover of the year for GI?

A... South Park... RPG?

I don't care if Patrick Stewart were doing the voicework and BioWare were doing the RPG elements - South Park?

Talk about a disappointment...

The hate, the butthurt... it is DELICIOUS.

 

[tolkir]

Reset the day. Reset the day!!

 

[Derrick01]

Not sure what all the negativity is about? This has the potential to be amazing if done right. Is obsidian a bad dev?

They're the best RPG dev in the business right now.

The problem is some dummies were expecting something like Shenmue 3, next gen console reveals and other equally ridiculous never-going-to-happen things.

 

[Sadist]

Ha, I couldn't guess this one. Amazing :lol

 

[Dark Schala]

LOL, well, that's... something.

I like South Park a lot, but not sure if want.

Lol this is really unexpected, but if it's done in an Earthbound/Costume Quest type way, I think I'll be there day 1!

Yeah, that'd actually be nice if Matt and Trey have something like that up their sleeves.

Ahahahahahaha! Awesome.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Holy cow, this is going to be bigger than Penny Arcade Adventures.

 

[Loudninja]

Very cool, and really unexpected.
