I think part of it is because all previous south park games have been shovelware pretty much, and all licensed stuff ends up like that too other than the recent Batman games.

But this is motherfucking Obsidian, the best RPG dev in the business. Respect the legends and let's see what they can do. I hope Matt and Trey are working really close with Obsidian and at least end up sharing writing ideas.

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.

 

[Kyoufu]

Same team that did Skyrim?

wat

 

[Kerub]

HUH

AM I DREAMING

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Don't think I've watched an episode of South Park since '99.


...ugh....
This isn't the PS3 EXCLUSIVE!~!~!~!!~!!!! for VGA Show, is it?

 

[Aesius]

This has the potential to be amazing.

 

[Zeliard]

I was happy about this until I reached the "Obsidian" part of the announcement.

That's the only good part about it.

 

[Shahadan]

PC being left out.

The fuck is this shit.

But but piracy.

 

[creamfarts]

Nice to see Butters is up front. I hope this sells well... saw New Vegas going for $15 new, and I sadfrog'd.

 

[ctrayne]

No PC version = don't give a shit

Have a nice day.

 

[Phat Michael]

quick lets slam it and make assumptions before we see a single screenshot!

 

[Madrugador]

No PC version? FUUUUU

 

[X26]

this is fucking amazing.

can't imagine why people wouldn't like this...

good show but I'd hate to play a full fledged game with this art style

 

[Forkball]

Well, GI was right. We totally weren't expecting this.

Though I'd rather have an Adventure Time RPG.

 

[Ramirez]

Will my save file get corrupted 10 hours in like New Vegas? Meh

 

[MechaX]

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.

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

 

[Reuenthal]

Damn it. Obsidian is one of the developers that I am most looking forward to their next games but this doesn't sound to be what I am looking for. Most importantly there is no mention of a PC version.

Hopefully they are working on other things too that I can get excited about.

 

[TTP]

This isn't the PS3 EXCLUSIVE!~!~!~!!~!!!! for VGA Show, is it?

Nope.

 

[Lumine]

Haha I love it. Can't wait to see what'll be like. Hoping for a PC version though.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Is that show still relevant? (I'm serious, I don't know.)

South Park at its peak popularity was shit compared to now, relevance through quality.

 

[Derrick01]

/sarcasm

No sarcasm, the game performed flawlessly.

 

[Kjellson]

This is gonna be awesome.

 

[ULTROS!]

Favorite pic of the day.

 

[sublimit]

You can always count to Game Informer for those hot exclusive news!!!

 

[Rad-]

Wait so it isn't written by Obsidian? They are only doing the programming?


:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[BalrogTheMaster]

OH GOD LOL

 

[michaeltraps]

South Park RPG by Obsidian sounds like an excellent proposition to me, I don't get all the hate.

When people are expecting Shenmue 3 for Dreamcast 2 or Mother 4 exclusive to the Playstation 3, genuinely interesting and exciting reveals immediately seem like crap.

 

[Nemo]

No fucking WAAAY

I want this. Obsidian? I fucking WANT this

I was already content with the South Park FPS, this will be amazing.

edit, but please don't be like new south park where it's mostly about bashing current affairs

 

[X26]

Nice to see Butters is up front. I hope this sells well... saw New Vegas going for $15 new, and I sadfrog'd.

It came out over a year ago, of course it's cheap now. Pretty sure they sold over 5 million units too

 

[TheNatural]

LOL this is great. Wow a major RPG maker making something NOT a tired first person apocalypse or fantasy land bullshit? About damn time.

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh my fucking god yes.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

This is going to be

AWESOME-O

 

[Corto]

Can't wait for Fumito Ueda's Family Guy Adventure game for Android.

[Elixist]

Mehton to the fullest. I bet this game will bomba, I dont think that South Park carries much weight anymore as a video game license. Eh still interested to see gameplay i'd like it to be great well see.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Don't think I've watched an episode of South Park since '99.


...ugh....
This isn't the PS3 EXCLUSIVE!~!~!~!!~!!!! for VGA Show, is it?

This is PS360, so it's not PS3 exclusive.

Watch the PS3 exclusive be a Street Sharks RPG by BioWare.

 

[V_Arnold]

Obsidian -> Cool.
South Park -> Cool.
SP Creators writing script -> Cool.

Cool.Cool.Cool.
As Abed would say.

 

[Solid warrior]

......

 

[ElRenoRaven]

It's something to keep an eye on. If done right it could be very good. Odds are it won't be though.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Can't wait for Fumito Ueda's Family Guy Adventure game for Android.

It will move you.

 

[webrunner]

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?

This is my ish

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Perfection..!

 

[Ezduo]

No PC version?

 

[Brazil]

That's the only good part about it.

How can you say that with a straight face?



... Do you have a straight face on?

 

[BannedEpisode]

I'm not a huge South Park fan, I really feel like it's past its prime, having said that though the show can be and still is pretty funny.

Who knows? Maybe it will be a good game.

 

[The Bookerman]

This game will end up like Mr Hankey

 

[gabe90]

Oh my science! This is awesome.

 

[Younicorn]

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...

 

[Lothars]

It is from Obsidian... buggy mess confirmed.

That was my first thought as well.
