I was bummed out that I didn’t get to report this story initially being a big South Park fan, but then again who isn’t. But who cares now, I have the follow-up, like a lolcat would say, I has the scoop.
So apparently, thanks to the guys at Rock Paper Shotgun, someone got their Cheesy Poof stained hands on a copy of Game Informer early. Tipped off by Obsidian Entertainment, the guys working on the upcoming RPG, on their website, said to keep an eye out for their next production in the new issue and here it was.
Apparently in the new game in true RPG fashion, you play as a silent protagonist. A new kid in town who must work to fit in.
I didn’t know this but I had thought previous games had been written by the guys at South Park. Guess not, as this is the first South Park game Stone and Parker have actively participated in and written the script for. I remember the other games, except for South Park Rally to be really funny and well-done. But Trey and Matt are comedy Gods, cannot wait to see this now.
As I mentioned before Obsidian Entertainment who have made the Dungeon Siege games and Fallout DLC are making the game and Obsidian is using the Dungeon Siege III engine. There will be five classes (wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, and a fifth unannounced class).
And finally, the “elements of the combat system are like Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi games”. So it’s an RPG map with turn-based encounters.
I love Paper Mario and if this game comes out on PSN, I am getting it first day.
