Obsidian reveals South Park RPG
American games magazine Game Informer has the scoop on a new South Park game from Obsidian (the developer behind Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, and Dungeon Siege III). The image below was revealed along with the announcement.
The game is set for release late next year for the 360 and PS3, with the script and voices being provided by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker (both of whom are massive gaming fans; as evidenced by the Guitar Hero, WoW, PSP and Wii episodes of South Park).
It all sounds very promising to me and should make up for the lazy cash-in South Park games from the past.

No offense to the dudes who RP as chicks.
I'm expecting a plethora of gaming references in the game. South Park has always excelled in that regard...

Well, the released picture suggests that we'll be entering a fantasy world (something akin to the Imagination Land episode), so I doubt there'll be a shortage of scenarios/quests. Also, take a closer look at that image...
Man-Bear-Pig as an enemy NPC... I'm being super cereal!
Also, while I'm sure Obsidian will handle the license well, I am kind of let down. I considered South Park to be one of the licenses Telltale would do good with.
I shall keep my eye on this...
At least this way we'll actually get some gameplay and not just one long South Park episode with QTEs... Zing!
Also, being a RPG should allow for some interesting stats...
"+7lbs to Cartman's ass."
"250 gold added to Kyle's Jew purse."
"Kenny is now adept at the 'Resurrection' skill."
"Stan learns a new attack; 'Vomit-Projectile'."
Taste like crab, talk like people.
Seriously, a South Park AR PE GE??
I had to pinch myself and check the calendar when I heard the news. It certainly does seem to be too bizarre/awesome to be true and yet here we are.:D
Jesus Christ, not ANOTHER Stupid South Park Game!
Jesus Christ, not ANOTHER stupid forum post!
Yes, the previous South Park games have sucked but this one is being made by a reputable developer, in conjunction with the creators of the show. So, what's the problem?! Unless you don't care for South Park, in which case I suggest you stay out of South Park threads in the future.
I know, right? The world's just been soooo flooded with South Park games. There's been like FOUR of them in the last ten years!
Spot on, it was such a dumb and trollish comment to make.:rolleyes:
The "last few" South Park games, with the exception of one XBox Live Arcade tower defense game that came out almost three years ago, came out in 1998-2000. Really don't see what there is to complain about here. They were N64 games for crying out loud.
That said, Obsidian made Fallout New Vegas, which was awesome and I felt even better than Fallout 3 and one of my favorite RPGs this "generation." The game is being written by Matt and Trey. It's parodying one of my favorite genres. I'm psyched.
It sounds... really interesting. I won't commit until I see screenshots, but from what we know so far, that seems pretty awesome.
I assume they'll be employing similar technology to this...
Also, that unknown class? Jew.
This may well be one of the few games I buy brand new. It sounds awesome.
I saw that coming, but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
