I like it! Very interested to see where this is headed.

 

[eznark]

Yeah. I'm a regular Nostradamus LOL


Too bad I can only predict stupid video games.

That game was shockingly not awful.

 

[Broder Salsa]

That game was shockingly not awful.

I never even heard of it before. Could sonic get pregnant?

 

[lsslave]

Damn, I don't get all the negativity going on.

I love South Park, I love Obsidian. This game might be my most hyped from them since New Vegas. (I was never into Dungeon Siege, and while I enjoyed #3 I wouldn't have touched the game if it wasn't an Obsidian game).

Matt & Trey style of humour in an RPG, and due to #1 the age of South Park and #2 the content it might actually focus on more grown up elements since South Park is definitely not for kids.

Aside from the "pee pee" jokes and etcetera this could, in terms of plot, be a pretty awesome and grown up RPG in the end!

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

Im a huge SP fan. But a SP RPG. Ill pass. I was hoping for something EPIC.

 

[TheSeks]

South Park RPG

...Okay, sure I'll ta--

by Obsidian

NOPE.avi.dll.exe.rar.zip.mp3.avi.mpg.hd.torrent.bat

Sorry, Matt and Trey: I'll pass after playing Obsidian's previous games and seeing how bug filled and RUSHED they are.

 

[Bentendo]

There already is:

[Kaako]

Ahahahaha what a thread to wake up to.

 

[C4Lukins]

That is really weird. Could be awesome though.

 

[Kintaro]

As the new kid in South Park, it’ll be up to you to make friends and defend the town from a wide range of threats.

From GI. So, yeah. You're generic kid.

 

[Zwei]

why are Obsidian wasting their talents like this?

 

[ampere]

Interesting, I'm sure the game will be funny with those two writing the script.

 

[AshMcCool]

Now thats a surprise.

But how can anybody not like south park? The show is still very clever and funny in its 15th season. That's an achievement.

 

[Kintaro]

why are Obsidian wasting their talents like this?

Need money.

I...can't see this working out for them to be honest.

 

[Cornbread78]

Oh man, can we all create a "They killed Kenny" mini-quest... DLC on the way!

 

[markot]

Oh, sounds interesting >.< hoping PC doesnt get left behind...

 

[H3xum]

I totally called this yesterday, look if you don't believe me

Guys, no guys, really, guys, it's going to be a South Park game. No, for serious, and OBSIDIAN is going to do it.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

I'm excited for this, even though it's Obsidian. Heavy involvement from Matt and Trey will definitely be the thing that sets this on the right track.

 

[AshMcCool]

I totally called this yesterday, look if you don't believe me

Nice one. Or did you had some insider information?

 

[Utako]

From GI. So, yeah. You're generic kid.

Shit

Sorry, Matt and Trey: I'll pass after playing Obsidian's previous games and seeing how bug filled and RUSHED they are.

How bug filled and rushed they are with some of the best depth, writing, attempts at new gameplay, and etcetera.

Compared to BioWare? Dragon Age 2 wasn't rushed? Or Bethesda? They don't have bugs?

Of the big 3 I would without any question go Obsidian > Bethesda > BioWare and you're missing out by not actually getting into their games. It is to the point I smile and nod when people go "Alpha Protocol is so awesome! I can't believe I listened to all the bad reviews" (this shit is happening in real life at this point man! people I know in real life who are learning this lesson!)

Besides, they actually had a very recent interview where they discussed this (Really hard for an independent RPG studio to get a budget to work with, yadda yadda, whereas internal development the money adds up when it is discussed all at once the guy writing the check will do a double take and they have smaller constraints).

Aside from Knights of the Old Republic 2 (can't find it online GoG and Steam both let me down! ) I have every Obsidian title ever made man, their games are really not that bad for bugs!

 

[Mike Works]

The only thing better than this announcement is all the people upset about it

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Could this be the first GOOD South Park game?!

"Let's Go Tower Defense Play!" was a good game. People should check it out.

As for this announcement, I am excite and hope it turns out well. Could be amazing, IMO.

 

[Nelo Ice]

shutupandtakemymoney.jpg

DAY ONE!

 

[The Albatross]

Hahahaha this is going to be shit, and even if it's moderately okay, who cares. South Park is about 10 years too late.

 

[.la1n]

Will buy at a high price

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

That's cool, I guess.

But nothing to get this amount of hype over.

Whu...wait.

Is THIS the megaton announcement?

 

[LemonGremlin]

Massive, massive waste of talent and resources.

 

[JorSneezy]

I'm in. All in.

 

[Kevtones]

Alpha Protocol >>>>>>> Mass Effect 1&2

 

[FloppyDelux]

i kinda want...

 

[Seanspeed]

Might have considered it if it was written by Obsidian... Looks like it'll be the first OE RPG I won't buy. Too bad.

South Park writers > video game writers

 

[HK-47]

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...

Geez talk about catastrophizing

 

[Hot Coldman]

Massive, massive waste of talent and resources.

Indeed, all of Matt and Trey's brilliant writing getting sentenced to death by broken game. Such a shame.

 

[Dr. Malik]

South Park RPG

What a crock of shit, gaming journalism should not hype stuff like this or just die already.
Can't wait to be disappointed again with the VGAs

 

[Cow Mengde]

If Obsidian isn't doing what it's good at, what's the big benefit to Obsidian's involvement? Their major skill isn't accounted for.

They are going make a lot of glitches. That counts for something.

 

[voodoopanda]

I predict this'll be the best RPG since Planescape.

 

[d1rtn4p]

Could be super awesome if done properly... Im envisioning something like a South Park/Fallout 3 type game.

 

[Emitan]

I love Obsidian. I like South Park. Why am I not happy?

 

[markot]

South Park writers > video game writers

1 monkey at 1 typewriter > video game writers >.<

 

[Misterinenja]

I'm imagining this as a ES/Fallout style of open world RPG in South Park world.

 

[ULTROS!]

I totally called this yesterday, look if you don't believe me

I hope this means that you also know VGA's Sony surprise.

 

[FHIZ]

You know... thinking about this for a bit, I'm starting to really like the idea of this, could be ridiculously great.

or, it could suck, hard.

Spoiler

god damnit, Butters

 

[HK-47]

Pretty much this. I can't believe people on the first page are saying "Hype Train Derailed" in regards to this game's subject matter/license. If anything the part to question is whether Obsidion can finally release a game that isn't broken.

Note: I only played KotOR2.

So you are totally basing this on a rushed game, from 7 years ago, on a different engine...

Sounds like you are informed!

 

[Wallach]

I love Obsidian. I like South Park. Why am I not happy?

How does that joke go...? I like sandwiches, and I like puppies...

 

[Hot Coldman]

At the very least, it'll almost definitely have an amazing ending. Season 15 finale, anyone?

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Well, I gotta admit, NO ONE saw that coming. A South Park RPG, developed by Obsidian, is definitely surprising. Bleh. I don't care if it gets critical acclaim from media and gamers. I hate South Park and its eyesore visuals.

 

[donkey show]

Heroin hero minigame!

 

[royalan]

Yeah the Game Informer hype was disappointing, but fuck yeah I'm excited for this.

If this were a year ago, I wouldn't give this game a second thought; but we're living in a post The Book of Mormon world here:

9 Tony Awards.

One of the biggest Broadway successes in decades.

Matt and Trey have proven without a shadow of a doubt that they can bring quality writing and satire to pretty much any medium they set their sights on.

I expect an RPG that completely rips the entire genre a new one. It'll be delicious.

 

[robertlebrone]

Well this is pretty wack. South Park? Haha, so lame.
