South Park: Stick of Truth "New Kid in Town" gameplay demo [13 min]

No bald cap? Lies!
Looks fantastic, still blown away at how it perfectly resembles the show. Don't get the menu hate, it's simple and clean and inline with FB-esq theme.

I'm digging the Paper Mario style battle. Plus the humor is top-notch, feels like classic South Park from old times (none of this topical shit they've been doing the last few seasons). Should be great!

The menus do look like a flash/browser game but I believe that's the intention, it's supposed to recreate the feeling of a social network website.

Everything else looks just amazing. The battle system looks just fine to me, I'm sure it's gonna be fun, especially once new powers and tougher enemies are unlocked.

Yeah, menu looks weird but it's a reference to the facebook episode so it cool it's that aspect.

The only dilemma I'm having is whether to get this on PC or PS3. I'd like to play it on my couch, but if the PC version runs a lot better....guess I'll wait to see how the console version runs. Or is that even an issue with a game like this?

My god, it really does look exactly like the show and it's beautimous. Now I won't watch the entire thing, it must be new to me on March 4th.

I'd like to see it released on Mac too. Oh well, maybe it'll get a late port by the end of 2014. That's too bad.

I like the social network menus. It doesn't fit the fake fantastical theme but I see more hilarious possibilities with character profiles etc...

Probably a fair point, as I think the videos we've seen of later portions of the game make both combat and traversal seem to expand on what's seen here. Eventually you're going to have multiple characters and a lot of abilities.

Lol, that's hilarious, I didn't even notice that.

People called Romanes they go the house?
That was way, way better than the older previews, both at explaining what the hell was going on with combat, and getting a more coherent South Park feel.

Looking forward to this one.

Really wish it was ported to the PS4. My PS3 is out of the entertainment center.

Hmm. I guess I could buy on 360.

I dunno.
 
I wasn't really into it, but that video kind of sold me :D
The look and the dialogue is top-notch.

I'll get it on PC eventually. I really hope it stays true to the show until the end. At least the beginning seems to indicate it will.
 
I haven't watched southpark in many years... I never asked for this game... but I want it. It looks like a good RPG with a lot of humor. A modern day "adult" paper mario. I'm okay with this.
 
This may be one of the very few times I buy a steam game at full price. That's usually reserved for Valve games. If the game turns out to be amazing it's definitely a day one purchase. South Park has a special place in my heart.

South park has been an out and out satire since the second season, topical episodes are nothing new.
 
They captured the show so perfectly. I'm damn excited, and I've only watched just the first 4 minutes of the video so far. Wow, so on point. They nailed this thing.
