I get that, but that's Ubisoft, this is THQ. So they probably want to do something different.

I'd accept the different excuse if it weren't a co op multiplayer.

so many genres out there and yet they set their eyes on a co op multiplayer game. How specific..... could surely JUST be a coincidence

 

[Nok Su Kow]

Biggest downgrade imaginable after the two RPG games

 

[Camreezie]

Looks like shit. Wheres the third RPG

 

[Synless]

wtf is this horse shit of a game?

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Jesus christ that looks beyond awful. Shame after the franchise just had two great games.

 

[drotahorror]

Is this an action RPG ala Diablo?

 

[Eotheod]

reminds me of the n64 game and thats not a good thing

Man, that alien one on PlayStation where you could shoot cows and shit was goat. Now that was a good game.

I meant different from the Ubisoft game, so not another RPG. I have no idea why they went this route, it's a weird path to take for sure, lol.

 

[64bitmodels]

it's a weird path to take for sure, lol.

I was implying they wanted to make a live service you dingus, you're not a dingus sorry
Multiplayer of any kind these days seems to want to take this path.

A "different game" could mean a platformer, racing game, action RPG instead of turn based, rhythm, strategy game, etc. Literally anything.

A multiplayer game as a "different path", with all the GAAS stuff that's beeen coming out recently... it honestly makes too much sense. And them not sticking to the show's original artstyle and trying to market that cheap look as a selling point (SOUTH PARK IN 3D!!! as if anyone ever wanted that in the first place when the paper animation style was one of the show's biggest draws....) just shows it's a cheap Co op live service junk game that they quickly made to cash in.

Worse when you consider the whole episode they made exclusively to dump on freemium... this is just freemium but you pay for it.

 

[Jsisto]

Don’t care much for this, but I won’t allow anyone to trash talk the South Park N64 game. Was an incredibly fun multiplayer shooter. My friends and I played the hell out of it.

Hahaha, you're good! I wasn't even thinking of that because it just looks... not appealing enough to be one? Lol. Who knows though! Regardless, of all the things they could've done, it really is bizarre that they chose this.

 

[Fermbiz]

I honestly don't know how they went from a tried and true formula, to this cash grab shitfest. The RPG style games were the closest you can get to an actual episode of South Park. They were genius, hilarious, fun and the truest form of an actual South Park Episode.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

That game was so fun as a kid. I remember hanging out at my cousin's house playing it. Man to be in late teen's early 20's again. such a good time gaming wise.

"Yea I want my Cheesy Poofs".

I loved playing Cartman in South Park 64.

 

[Ozzie666]

So, you buy up all these studios and IPS and this is what you put out. Absolute trash that no one wants for this franchise. This is like LJN of the 8 bit and 16-bit license bargain bin shovel ware day all over again.

Also, the intro on the original N64 game, still blows me away and still holds up today.

 

[j0hnnix]

I'll wait until I fully judge dredd this.. it'll be hard to top stick of truth and Fractured Butthole..

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I'm gathering it's a co-op multiplayer game meant to be played indefinitely?

Yeah, comedy is going to work really well in a game where you're replaying the same levels again and again. No way those one-liners are going to get old.

 

[Vandole]

There really wasn't enough shown to determine if this game is going to be a piece of crap or not, but I'm getting the toilet paper ready.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Looks like it’s using the RAM cartridge. Are those still available?

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Southparks style just doesnt translate well into 3d

 

[ShakenG]

Personally dont mind the 3D look if its fun.
Runs away.....

 

[Yoboman]

Who the hell asked for this? Everyone wanted a sequel to The Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole, not whatever in the fuck this is.

I asked for this

 

[DryvBy]

I'm not even going to pretend I'm not going to get this day one. I mean I own Chef's Luv Shack and that kart racing game.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Dacvak]

I don’t really know what the gameplay is like, and the character models look kinda dumb, but I’m lowkey excited to see a fully rendered South Park town. I hope you get to explore a bit.

I dunno, I’ll probably give it a chance. I don’t think it looks as bad as most of you are whining about it.

 

[mdkirby]

I don’t think my excitement level for a game have ever dropped so fast or so far from a +10 to a -100 in less than 10seconds. What an absolutely wasted opportunity. And now it’ll be the best part of a decade until we see another actually decent South Park game . I would be very surprised if this doesn’t absolutely bomb on release.

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

This looks so bad that I’m calling it now…

This is a hoax.

 

[Pakoe]

Lmao the fuck was that

 

[StueyDuck]

Do we know if Matt n trey are involved any further than just licensing? Eric sounded way off in the trailer

 

[Pallas]

Errr…. South Park battle royale?

 

[CityHunter1981]

The best indicator of a game will be good or not is checking the history of the studio and this one surely will not end up being good.

 

[nightmare-slain]

SoT & FBW were amazing but I ain't going near this

usually it's a good idea but doesn't always work like that.

 

[SportsFan581]

I can say right off, I hate this art style for this IP. Why not recreate the flatter 2D styling of the reference material? But, I guess they figure that is a feature.

With that out of the way, I'll keep an eye on it. The low-brow humor of this series can be great in a game if done well.

 

[El Muerto]

New gameplay trailer just dropped.

 

[FingerBang]

New gameplay trailer just dropped.

This... still doesn't look good

 

[El Muerto]

This... still doesn't look good

Agreed. Looks like a free to play mobile game.

 

[Mownoc]

Still don't think it's going to be a good game but the new trailer looks way better than what they showed before.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yup. Still looks like shit. Such a shame too. Give us another South Park RPG like Stick of Truth or Fractured But Whole. Not this garbage.

 

[nial]

New gameplay trailer just dropped.

Ah, THQ Nordic, truly the THQ of modern day.
