It seems a little weird for Obsidian to be making a licensed South Park game. On the other hand at least it isn't another LOTR derived rpg game. We have plenty of those already.

There were rumors of Obsidian working with an animated franchise and people were guessing it would be Archer. (< has never seen Archer. Commercials I've seen show it as a spy parody.)
SP in it's current incarnation is a "what's happening this week, let's make fun of that" type of thing, but when they put effort into it I'm pretty sure Matt and Trey could turn out something memorable. Imaginationland was supposed to be the next SP movie but got cut up into a bunch of tv episodes.
also, at least it's not a family guy game
if were doing a list of implausible "what if"s, I'd want a Jem rpg from CD Projekt

Parker and Stone are great writers, this should be brilliant.
i really can't see this working out well for anyone involved.
i guess add thq to the list of publishers who won't work with obsidian again after this thing crashes
South Park's popularity is no where near what it used to be; this game should have come out a decade ago.
-Obsidian is a company that excels in deep, intelligent, choice-driven narratives. South Park excels in quick topical one-off jokes. How is this going to work.
Doesn't seem like the game needed to be made by Obsidian; Bioware is a better choice; but I guess Obsidian was cheaper to go with. Or Parker and Stone are actually gamers and know that Obsidian is the best rpg company in the world so they personally chose them to do a SP rpg.
I'd rather have a Simpsons rpg. Classic-era Simpsons, at that.

People say that South Park isn't what it used to be but would prefer a Simpsons RPG? ???

Audience yawns
-Parker has been a lifelong gamers, he really likes rpgs because he like the singleplayer nature of them so he doesn’t like or get MMO’s. His favorite game is Oblivion.
-Matt when he was young used to play the old Infocom game and Wizardry
-Lastly they joke how this Southpark game will be a cross between Obilivion and FIFA were “you gotta go kill a bunch of monsters and shit but you can only use your feet.”
Quotewhich are wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, and a fifth unannounced class.
if the fifth class is Jew....
Sounds interesting!
Better than another stupid shitty WRPG with orcs and elves.
Ginger > jews
I want a ginger class. Ginger > jews

Through the course or your travels in South Park rpg, the player can be cursed by a ginger spell; a ritual act of eating a ginger's pubes dipped in blood. You turn into ginger form for an hour in game time, immediately as you're struck by moonlight. Ginger form scares the shit out of every character or npc, resultng in enemies going into aggro state without provocation. The only characters you can interact with as a ginger of the night are fellow red-headed devils, cursed to be forever a blight on human attractiveness beyond a few outliers such as Christina Hendricks.
The only way to cure the spell is to venture into hell, after sacrificing a blonde's blood and purity, and duel against the greatest evil of all: Satan.
I am no disgusting ginger, I just like their pubes :(
-Parker and Stone gave Obsidian 15 years of assets used during the show and a detailed list of approved textures and colors.Big news there. As South Park has been CGI for since the 2nd episode (at least I'm pretty sure) so they can perfectly gank everything as it appears in the show.
fuck gingersIf only it were that easy.
fuck you ginger
i will hunt you down to your last
This isn't how you turn business around, THQ.
OTOH, It's nice to see all those bitter tears from folks that thought the GI cover was Gears PS3.
I married one. :humpfuck gingersIf only it were that easy.
