A farting vigilante!!!!

 

[Montresor]

Bleh, no Switch, no buy. I'm not buying a PS4 for one game, even if I am a massive fan ;_;

Dat port begging though.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Dat port begging though.

Every time.

 

[alexbull_uk]

Great to finally have a release date.

I hope it keeps to it, this is one of my most anticipated titles.

 

[Struct09]

Hope it hits that date, can't wait!

 

[Milennia]

thank fuck for no delay

(worse delay)

 

[Raw64life]

I'll start getting excited in September.

 

[sinonobu]

Do I have to watch the show to play the game?

The game looks really fun but I've never watched South Park before

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

All the farting makes it feel like a sophisticated version of a season 1 episode.

Spoiler

Not complaining!

 

[NEO0MJ]

Disgusting looking game. Can't see why people would want it.

Spoiler

Day 1

 

[Kanann]

Everything but Whole, call me immature but Whole ~.~

 

[Ultimadrago]

Fart jokes suck, even in South Park. Still, I'm in.

 

[FHIZ]

My bet is that they delayed it in order to release it along with season 21 of the show (and possibly have one of the episodes lead up to the game or promote it?).

October 17 would be the middle of the new season.

 

[Skelter]

DAMN, I lost it at Jimmy!

Wow, how did you manage to avoid the show for 20 years!

You're probably okay without watching the show, although there will be a lot of references and callbacks to show staples, which may just come off as new jokes to you or be missed entirely. You should give the show a shot though! Seasons 5-13ish are some of the best animated comedy around. Those seasons are just peak material though (imo), there show's consistently great outside of that with some exceptions.

 

[Symbiotx]

From March to October. Jesus, this game better be awesome.

It's ALWAYS better to delay a game to ensure the final product is finished. ALWAYS.

 

[Kouriozan]

Expecting delay announcement in a few months.

You've never seen South Park? It's practically as ubiquitous as The Simpsons at this point. I imagine you'd want to be somewhat familiar with the characters for the jokes to hit, but I'd also recommend asking for impressions after the game comes out when people have a better read on the writing in the game.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I hope it still has that "totally not 4E D&D" combat.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

really excited for this
missed out on the first one, so I'd love to support Matt & Trey with a pre-order here.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Seems a shame not to release this on Switch, though I will probably still pick it up on PS4 at some point.

 

[spiderman123]

Died at the daredevil becomes the punisher bit.

 

[FTF]

Looks like Stick of Truth isn't a pre-order bonus any more, it's just included in every copy. That's nice.

Awesome!

And this is a day one for me! Loved stick of truth.

 

[Markitron]

Fantastic! Is it back up for pre-order on PSN? I really wanna play Stick of Truth again.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Fart jokes suck, even in South Park. Still, I'm in.

Oh, my smug alert went off!

 

[Nachtfalke]

I'm wondering what took them so long. Hopefully the game nails the writing from the series and the first game. I'm a bit worried with Ubisoft developing it internally.

Obsidian always proofed to me that they are better in this regard than others. (Kotor 1 vs 2, Fallout 3 vs New Vegas etc.)

Trey and Matt wrote the first game, not Obsidian, and they are writing this one too.

 

[Warnen]

Kinda wish they took the year delay and ported it to switch.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I don't know what possessed them to change the combat in this one but I hope it's still good.

 

[Possumowner]

About time,feels like it's been coming forever.Very much looking forward to it

 

[DrunkShogun]

Will wait for it to launch and skip the preorder business. Was meant to be a gift for my sibling but think he's forgotten about it at this point.

 

[Markitron]

Every thread without fail.

 

[Lulubop]

You sure this time?

 

[Bahorel]

I assumed it was delayed for switch. Too bad :c

Does Nintendo allow things that are that mature themed on their consoles?

 

[Bahorel]

Fart jokes suck, even in South Park. Still, I'm in.

In the first one the use of fart magic in battle was pretty much optional so I assume it will be the same here

 

[Ahasverus]

Yooo that's incredible​

 

[akileese]

The Coon Mobile edition is also on Amazon now.

 

[Sealtest]

I'm guessing the PC requirements haven't been released yet? Can we expect similar to the first one?

 

[DomsPlaying]

Place your bets why they had to delay it multiple times. In app purchases?

Because Matt and Trey want to perfect it, like they did with Stick of Truth. I think it's basically to allow more time for the creative process and polish, mostly.

 

[Nachtfalke]

Trey and Matt wrote the first game, not Obsidian, and they are writing this one too.

That's good to know!

 

[Emhemed]

I wish the game only focused on the four kids (Stan,Kyle Kenny and Cartman) instead of having you as the new kid in South Park.

 

[BrettHeazy]

So South Park in October, AC in November.
But what about FC5? Early next year along with The Crew?

I was thinking AC in September, FC5 in December, Crew2 in Feb

 

[hanspampel]

Bleh, no Switch, no buy. I'm not buying a PS4 for one game, even if I am a massive fan ;_;

also on Xb1 or Pc
and if a port would be easy and cheap to make. maybe you can even get a switch version later

 

[Dangansona]

The trailers largely haven't been that funny (despite the last few seasons of South Park and the last game being pretty great) but I'm going to try to not let that worry me too much.

 

[Gator86]

Kinda wish they took the year delay and ported it to switch.

Switch port begging already stale as fuck. I'm all for making games more accessible and available to wider audiences, but if you wanted to play all the big 3rd party games, you shouldn't have bought a Switch. It's not like 3rd parties ignoring Nintendo is breaking news.

 

[iBlue]

Awesome! Already preordered on xbox

 

[Handsomejan]

Looks great! Can´t wait to play it, will buy when it hits tree fiddy!

 

[Metal Khaos]

Do I have to watch the show to play the game?

Not at all, but part of the enjoyment for me of the first game was how jam packed it was with stuff from the show.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

So much for Ubi supporting Switch

 

[FallenGrace]

Bleh, no Switch, no buy. I'm not buying a PS4 for one game, even if I am a massive fan ;_;

Took till post 44. Slipping GAF...
