What happened to a fall release? Watch it be delayed again...

I feel pretty terrible for Obsidian. This is sounded a lot like what they went through with Alpha Protocol where they spent all the time the publisher would allow them to work on the title for but continued to delay it. I mean what possible reason could there be for this delay?

Hopefully this will be the last one, but an Obsidian game being delayed for so long is probably a good thing. Their games are always so janky out of the box. With the extra time they've had to get this right, there should be no excuse for it not being polished to a mirror finish.S¡mon;88194279 said:
Also, that trailer is amazing. I can't believe people are complaining about it looking too "traditional". That's the absolute best thing about it. The "traditional" (J)RPG with turn-based combat is a dead genre outside of handhelds, and that makes me a sad panda. I'd have never predicted that a South Park game would be the thing to revive it though. It's almost as strange as that Lord of the Rings game which was a blatant rip-off of Final Fantasy X.

Even with Titanfall a week or two later it's still a much more preferable date than early December.

Game looks amazing.
This gif needs to used more.
Absolutely fucking amazing. This game is a day 1 for sure and will be my obsession. God DAMN Obsidian did major work on this.
Also, looks like it's rendering in 1080p? Looks just like the show in HD. Oh fuck yeah, PC... gonna be playing this at 2160p fo sho. Can't wait to see how crisp and clean the image quality is. God damn their renderer looks just like the show...

that got me too
This game looks amazing. I'm not even a huge south park fan but it's pretty rare a game comes along that can consistently make me smile or laugh.
They've already said that that March 2013 date was completely unrealistic (and was basically being pushed for such an early release because THQ needed to get games out & money rolling in) and would have resulted in Obsidian having to release an unfinished, rushed product. Ubisoft is actually giving them time to polish the game & finish it, unlike SEGA, Bethesda & LucasArts.

Looks really good outside of how slow the battles look. Hopefully they improve the fonts and UI a bit too. That music was awesome though...

That made me laugh too. Please actually release this Ubisoft. A next gen port would be great, but I'd take a current gen version any day over no game at all.

The fighting controls remind me of the original Heros of Might and Magic.

Turn based could be utilized to make challenging encounters where you could die on every turn, like SMTIV. This... doesn't look like that.
It looks slow and simple, but pretty darn fun. I look forward to playing it in 2018.

Probably because the player was highlighting all the different moves. Probably faster when you're playing.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Looks awesome, maybe speed it up combat a bit and would be perfect.
Gotta love Obsidian fans, it's always the publisher. Can't wait to see people using the same excuse when this game releases, even with all the delays and yet a completely different publisher.
Theres one thing in common with Obsidian releases, and it's not the publisher.

But it's out next year, dammit!

To make up for the delay, PS4/XB1 versions Ubi please
Um it actually was the publisher though, they control the release of the game.
Lucasarts- Had agreed to give Obsidian an extension past holiday 2004 for Kotor 2, then out of nowhere cancelled that agreement and forced Obsidian to ship in Dec. 2004 (roughly a year after kotor 1 by the way). This resulted in the infamous "unfinished" ending and a lot of cut content that was planned for release thanks to the delay they were promised being pulled.
Sega- Out of nowhere they stopped funding Alpha Protocol once it was near completion and yet still delayed the game simply because they didn't like the original release date. The game went something like 7 months just sitting there not being improved or bug tested at all until it released in June 2010. Obsidian does share blame and they've admitted that they wasted a lot of time at the start of development not knowing how they wanted to make the game, but once they had settled in it was on Sega.
Zenimax/Bethesda- They were supposed to handle QA for New Vegas as most publishers do but seeing the state the game was in you'd wonder if they actually did anything to it. Plus it was made and released in only a year. Think about that, a full HD next gen open world game with the writing depth and deep RPG systems NV had...made and released in only 1 year. It's inconceivable nowadays. The game could have been delayed to work on bugs more but Zenimax chose not to do that.
Obsidian can only do so much as an independent developer who relies on the contracts they sign. Yeah they have had some time management issues in the past but many of the problems they've run into have been publisher related, stuff way out of their control. Now they've dealt with THQ dying and they're dealing with Matt and Trey's relentless perfectionism. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why this game is taking so long. It's not like the actual gameplay and RPG stuff looks really in depth or anything, which is what Obsidian is handling and I've already mentioned how they've released 2 of the best RPGs in recent history in only 1 year of development. So I really doubt all of these delays are on Obsidian.

hella bullets that's true

Sucks that it's delayed AGAIN but damn does it look good in that gameplay video. I was really looking forward to finally playing it in December but I guess I'll just have to tough it out until March. I suppose it will give me something to do during the gap between Lightning Returns and Titanfall.
Those bard songs are hilarious though. Can't wait to see what Matt and Trey have cooked up for this over the course of a 20-40 hour game or however long it ends up being., The whole game is shaping up very well. Very impressed.

lol, that looks really fun. As a big fan of the show and RPGs, I'll definitely pick this up.
wow they did a great job this really feels like the show,,,, I genuinely want this game to do well, looks amazing. I am hoping the delay with game is because Matt and Trey are really trying to make this awesome,,, I just hope it doesn't get lost in the wave of next gen fever and other titles coming out at similar time...
