Cartman calls you Sir Douchebag. Of course.

Still looks like South Park meets Paper Mario, so day fucking one.

Never thought of that comparison but it's fucking spot on. I can't wait for this.

 

[Revolutionary]

Looks amazing. Cannot wait!!

 

[Xanadu]

Yeah it's terrible, I thought cartoons were for kids. Also clear racism and sexism in it, just terrible.

oh wow

 

[Theman2k]

well thats fucking awsome game !!
story and gameplay looks awesome, DAY1.

 

[Valnen]

Turn based combat is pretty terrible though. The advantage here is that many of the attacks and abilities are pretty funny in some way though, it helps erase a lot of the dullness and simplicity of turn based combat.

Turn based combat is one of my favorite types of RPG combat when done right. I never want to see that type of gameplay die out completely, it's nice to see a relatively big budget game have a turn based system. You don't really see it much outside of indie games and such these days.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

This looks great. I just wish it was going to be ready in time for december.

 

[Mondy]

oh wow

You need a new sarcasm detector. $3.99 at Target.

 

[rjinaz]

oh wow

I think he was being sarcastic...

Spoiler

I think.

I'm getting this game either way, but yeah, would love to see this hit nextgen and am kind of hoping that was in part the reason for the delay.

 

[BennyBlanco]

The battle UI and fonts look rough, very rough. Everything else looks polished as hell.

because everything else is a cutscene

 

[Acrylic7]

They just need to add some battle music. That melody was putting me to sleep.

 

[Prophet Steve]

I love how that skip button comes up during the stuttering. There must be an achievement for never skipping his dialogue during the game.

I was thinking it would just loop and go on forever until you skip. Could easily be wrong.

 

[jacksepticeye]

People who say it's terrible, the jokes are bad or they didn't laugh do you actually watch or like the show itself?
If you don't like the humour of South Park it's clear you won't like this.

I think it looks amazing

 

[baxter2231]

Guess he was a big Chef's Luv Shack fan.

hey that was a cool game, the other one forget the name was terrible.

Anyway i hope there is a ps4 version, looks interesting. South park may get me to play an RPG, like the turn based aspect and the moves look interesting and being south park i may actual care to read into what everything means other than the basic attacks.

 

[mclem]

I love that "Pissed" is a status effect.

Does it mean angry or inebriated?

 

[Fabrik]

It's exactly like paper mario and that's what has me concerned a bit. I'm worried it'll be too easy and simple.

Does it? I didn't see that much button prompts. Do you have to press a button with a good timing to dodge an attack for instance?

The three big ones were Chefs Luv Shack, South Park: The Game which was the one where you battled hordes of Turkeys and South Park Racing. The latter 2 were both terrible and Chefs Luv Shack was okay but a bit repetitive.

Watch the video closely. You have to press a button at exactly the right time to achieve a perfect block/parry.

 

[SystemShock2]

This looks like a lot of fun.

 

[DedValve]

two words.

Day. 1.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Looks really rad. Looking forward to it, again. More reason to keep in touch with current gen!

 

[BigJonsson]

Geeze, March =/

 

[TimeEffect]

Wow, looks solid. Even the writing is better than the episodes

 

[Gxgear]

The licensed part of the game looks amazing, the actual gameplay portion looks like a flash game.

Really really hoping they don't mess this up. Because at this point in time, you'd have to be a pretty hardcore South Park fan to justify this at full price.

 

[Valnen]

This looks like it would be good for any RPG fan, not just South Park fans.

 

[Zemm]

Looks fucking amazing. Can't even remember the last time I saw a South Park episode, atleast 5 years, probably much longer, and will be buying this day 1. How could I not when it looks this good?

 

[BigMack]

combat gives me a Costume Quest kind of feel.... awesome!

That's EXACTLY what it reminded me of too.

Also, legit LOL @ "Weapon Strap-Ons" on the equip screen.

 

[Ohwiseone]

I laughed at the Press B to skip part.

Alright, I am digging it.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Looks good, I've really missed proper turn-based RPG combat this gen. However the UI is really ugly and uninspired, like cheap flash game. I suppose it does match the crude, low budget aesthetic of South Park's animation but it's still bad. A bunch of bland white boxes. It clashes with the rest of the art. Not a fan of the wheel menus during combat either. I'll play it eventually but it will have to wait. Q1 is already pretty crowded with RPGs.

 

[Sadist]

I laughed about Jimmy. Seems cool, will check it out whenever it releases here in Europe.

 

[Lain]

Amazing.
Before watching, I was interested in the game, but more in a curiosity type of interest.
After this video, I want it.

 

[spirity]

Looks offensive. I fucking love it.

 

[Fabrik]

Watch the video closely. You have to press a button at exactly the right time to achieve a perfect block/parry.

Cool! But it looks like the input are quite simple. I don't know this game seems like the perfect opportunity to mock video-game conventions, they could make even crazier stuff like summons necessitating to press 8 buttons at the same time ala Heavy Rain and so on.

 

[Derrick01]

Does it? I didn't see that much button prompts. Do you have to press a button with a good timing to dodge an attack for instance?

Yup it uses the same system but there will be more RPG stuff on the side too. Like in that video you can see he's equipping weapons with elemental items.

 

[kirblar]

:lol

That was amazing.

 

[Gxgear]

This looks like it would be good for any RPG fan, not just South Park fans.

I'm not sure how you can say that with the footages available. The UI and combat looks barebones, and we haven't had any close look at customization - an integral part of any RPG.

 

[Fabrik]

Yup it uses the same system but there will be more RPG stuff on the side too. Like in that video you can see he's equipping weapons with elemental items.

Ok I watched the video again and I noticed this time the help text associated with every commands. It really is like Paper Mario. Pretty cool, I think they made the right decision. It's the more fitting for a game like this. I hope it gets even crazier later on. They can create whatever they want.

 

[Xater]

Does it mean angry or inebriated?

Angry.

 

[Ogni-XR21]

This looks fantastick!!

I'm a sucker for old school type RPG's so this is right up my alley.

 

[SaitoH]

Amazing, can't wait!

 

[jpax]

This looks really good!

 

[Jeels]

I think the battles look awesome/hilarious. But the animations are so long I can see getting annoyed by them after the initial lulz wears off...

 

[Astra]

This game looks so fun. Damn the delay!

Wow, this game looks awful.

Also, totally unnecessary rape jokes.

Of course.

With all due respect cliche dissenting Gaffer, your opinion won't matter the month after next month.
(At least that's what it used to be!)
Not it's three months after the month after next.

 

[-MD-]

Wow, this game looks awful.

Also, totally unnecessary rape jokes.

Of course.

Game looks amazing.

 

[Cat Party]

I can see why it is taking so long. The game looks very ambitious.

 

[Trigger]

Wow, this game looks awful.

Also, totally unnecessary rape jokes.

Of course.

It looks awesome.

 

[Satch Fuji]

They just need to add some battle music. That melody was putting me to sleep.

You're right. They should have an unlockable mode that rotates Now You're a Man, Brian Boitano, Let's Build a Snowman, and Team America - Fuck Yeah! during battles.

 

[valouris]

This game looks amazing, it shows Matt and Trey are very involved. I am starting to think it will really shine in the story and dialogue department.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Yeah, that was pretty damn awesome.

 

[haikira]

I agree with the combat music complaint. Other than that, I can not wait for this. Shame about the delay, but if it leads to a better game, ack well. It's not like there's a shortage of good games this year anyway.

 

[Xanadu]

You need a new sarcasm detector. $3.99 at Target.

i looked on the website its not there

 

[DrZeus]

Don't usually check for turn based RPGs, but as a long time South Park I may have to try this out. Looks pretty funny so far.
