I really wish I had a table flipping gif to express my dismay at the cover reveal.

 

[Fjordson]

"Explore the quiet little mountain town like never before" :O

Fallout: Colorado confirmed.

Heh. Sounds like Marcus' kind of town. Or Lily.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

So this isnt the exclusive PS3 game that will be at that shitty award show?

 

[kingslunk]

Adventure Land is prolly going to be in it also. Ohyesssss

 

[thehillissilent]

We have a PC version. Good! THQ will probably port this to OnLive so I can try it out for free.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

I think that it is impossible that an advertisement disappoints me more.
Congratulations GameInformer


Next step... the PS3 exclusive announcement in the VGA

 

[flyinpiranha]

South Park is so immature.
Videogames are so immature.

 

[beelzebozo]

we're through the looking glass here, people.

 

[Snuggles]

This is definitely one positive of THQ publishing. It basically guarantees that there will be a Steamworks version. They don't ignore us PC peasants.

 

[jgminto]

I'm actually pretty interested. If it's not some cheap cash in it could be really fun.

 

[badcrumble]

cool, it's milquetoast upper-middle-class libertarianism: the game

 

[Herla]

I don't care about South Park, but as a RPG fan I feel this is exactly what we need right now.
Also, F YEAH Obsidian!

 

[ghibli99]

An Obsidian-created RPG in the South Park world is a fantastic idea. Just as SR3 helped take the serious out of open world, this could do the same for RPGs. I'm really looking forward to it!

 

[shintoki]

This is definitely one positive of THQ publishing. It basically guarantees that there will be a Steamworks version. They don't ignore us PC peasants.

I don't see any disappointment with this at all.

The creators are writing it, you have a team with ambition making the game, and the company with one of the better track records for PC is handling it.

Could be awesome.

 

[scoobs]

would. will.

 

[Glix]

If Matt and Trey really are truly heavily involved, the game will be incredible.

 

[Plywood]

I didn't know Kenny was a girl

He isn't.

 

[mujun]

Crappy news. Love Obsidian but don't really like South Park and don't see how this can be a deep or expansive RPG.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Crappy news. Love Obsidian but don't really like South Park and don't see how this can be a deep or expansive RPG.

Southpark ventures a lot into other "worlds" and stuff so they could do that........ plus I think you might get to kill a bunch of Guidos, so thats good. All they have to do is implement a classing/leveling system and the rest works itself out for the most part.

 

[Gilgamesh]

whaaaat!

Comedy RPGs can be super great (see: Breath of Death/Cthulhu & Penny Arcade) and I love South Park. Win win!

Good luck to Obsidian!

 

[grandjedi6]

What. Who wanted this? Or saw this coming? Or wanted this?

 

[Moaradin]

Haha, WHAT?

 

[Mit-]

Me working at GameStop:

"AW SHIT THEY GOT A SOUTH PARK GAEM THAT SHIT IS HILARIOUS LOL I GOTTA GET THAT"

"It's an RPG, like Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls. It's written by blahblahblahtunedout"

" :|

Lemme get dat MW3 bro"

 

[FateBreaker]

What. Who wanted this? Or saw this coming? Or wanted this?

I never such a thing could exist so I didn't know I wanted this.

But I really, really want this.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

And this is why announcements of announcements are a waste of everybody's time.

 

[Other]

I look forward to yet another WRPG which will no doubt feature a shitty morality system where you have the choice between two hyperbolic extremes of 'good' and 'evil' actions but with the added 'correct' option of 'the answer lies somewhere down the middle' aka as 'how a privileged straight white male libertarian thinks'

 

[Doctor_20]

People are so butthurt over this game it's hilarious

 

[I_D]

This is totally unexpected, and I doubt it'll sell that well unless they really advertise it.

That said, there's a lot of room for a game in that universe. Off the top of my head, the show includes Earth, Heaven, Hell, the past, alien planets, and imagination land.

The game should be hilarious, and funny games are really rare these days, so I welcome its potential. The technology will be crucial though; if the animations suck the comedy will fall apart. Hopefully it won't be Gamebryo...

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Long thread, must read and see why....

That said, I am looking forward to this game A LOT! My favorite TV show + my favorite RPG developer, it is like a match made in heaven. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

 

[Windom Earle]

Sounds totally wack and awesome. <3 SP.

 

[Randomizer]

What. Who wanted this? Or saw this coming? Or wanted this?

I certainly didn't see it coming but holy shit I really want this. It has shot up my list of most anticipated games of 2012. I am a huge fan of their works whether it's South Park, Team America or Book of Mormon. They are brilliant satirists and this game has the potential to be the funniest game ever made.

 

[dralla]

SP hasn't been good in years, I can't say I'm excited but I am curious

 

[soultron]

I hate the fact that I'm totally out of the South Park loop here. I'd probably be excited if I were an avid SP fan, but this announcement does nothing for me. I do think it bodes well for fans of the series wanting a decent game. I heard Tower Defense was alright, and the FPS game on N64/DC?/PSX? was terrible, so this might be the first chance for a great SP game.

I'll be in the corner playing Alpha Protocol, hoping in vain for the sequel that will never come.

That joke's only been done like 5 times in this and the old thread. If anything it shows how many people think Bioware games are not only wrpgs but the "leaders" of the wrpg since that's the first example they think of.

Me too man, me too

I dare you to watch the Mantequilla episode and not laugh. This season of SP has been amazing and the show has been funny since the start.

Who made you the brothority on South Park anyways, bro?

 

[brandonh83]

Need to see how the game actually looks. It's hard trying to imagine them keeping the style in some kind of open world RPG.

 

[gamergirly]

Rated M for Mature

 

[Sinatar]

SP hasn't been good in years

This is utter nonsense.

[apocalidiot]

I love this because everyone had their own dream game picked out to be on the cover, and now every single person's dream was shattered (which of course if GI's fault)

 

[Eric Hall]

This thread has everything:

People complaining about the surprise
People complaining about WRPGs
People complaining about South Park

It is amazing

It even has people complaining about complaining!

 

[Revolutionary]

This is awesome. I cannot wait to see more.

Playable Mysterion please.

 

[Elixist]

It even has people complaining about complaining!

7/10 i lold

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Could be fun. I watch and enjoy the odd SP episode whenever I have the time but I'm not what you'd call a fan of the series. I think it has the potential to be a solid game.

Shouldn't you be threatening to boycott Apple in the Siri Hate Womyn thread?

 

[Ridley327]

If the job postings are correct, then it's going to look exactly like the show.

Have you ever played an Obsidian game? (Other than Dungeon Siege 3)

Marklar?

1. Marklar these Marklars.
2. Marklar, Marklar or Marklar.
3. Marklar?!
