This is amazing. Now South Park has been somehow converted into at least 6 different genres: RPG, Kart racer, FPS, Tower Defense, Platformer, and of course a quiz game.

You have my attention Obsidian.

Really excited to hear this. I still have fond memories of the last south park game I played on a console. That shooter on the n64 with multiplayer in that zero gravity dome was awesome.

My body is more than ready.

I am pleased and surprised to hear this :)

I'm tentatively excited out of my mind.

Yes!, YES!! A thousand times yes!!!

Excellent.

Looking forward to it. Obsidian's games have always been diamonds in the rough, but I enjoy them nevertheless. Speaking of Obsidian, I still need to pick up Dungeon Siege 3.

Great. Maybe they can do a Mad TV and a Family Guy game while they're at it.

Mint berry crunch!!!

Wow. I have the distinct feeling that if this doesn't sell well, Obsidian will close its doors. Hope they give me plenty of reason to buy it, but classically licensed games nearly ALWAYS suck (the single exception to the rule is a couple Beavis and Butthead adventure games).
 
edit: also why is the kid with diabetes whose name I don't know on the GI cover, but Jimmy Palmer isn't?

Maybe it's because I played them side by side "replayed kotor 1 in time for 2".

I could not be any less interested in this game. It's actually impossible.

Obsidian, you don't make good original games. You do, however, make awesome (my opinion) sequels to existing franchises. Stick to that. Please.

so its going to be terrible,naturally

DAMMIT, RORIE!

I can almost feel the unfunny comedy already.

BUT MAN THEY'RE SO EDGY AND MAKE FUN OF EVERYONE THAT MAKES THEM FUNNY RIGHT!?

Nope, that's not the reason I've been joyfully laughing while watching south park for the past 6 years, try again.

Is it the poop jokes?

I bet it's the poop jokes.

Man-Bear-Pig!

The entire game will be coded in six days. The ironic part is it will probably still be less buggy than New Vegas.

No PC. Seriously?

Fuckin' a.

Whatever brings in the money I suppose. Until they can fund something they actually want to make.

Unlike half the people in here, I'll give this game a chance. It could end up being one of the best games of 2012, y'all never know

Costume Quest: South Park? That would be pretty sweet.

What the-

Of all the cool things they could've announced, it's a South Park RPG for consoles. Ehhhhhhh...

Baffled that this is a GI cover story.

as long as they get the look down, i think this could be amazing.

Maaaaaan, I'm a little bummed. I wish that Obsidian could make another, not as busted Alpha Protocol instead. I liked that game quite a lot.

@ajamafalous:

Game Informer is a business and the game magazine thing is on shaky ground. If a guy comes to their door with a competent game and a bag of money, I do not fault them for giving it a cover. That being said, this could be pretty good as long as they put some heart into it. The N64 game was pretty bad bad not good.

Mad TV and Family Guy are not even in the same league as South Park.

fuck yeah! 

"4 comments" I'm not even going to read them, I know they're tasty.

I'm in.

You know, that tower defense game was actually really good... But I'm still so confused as to what the hell this even is.

I am all over this shit. My body is ready.

What this article failed to mention is that Matt and Trey are actually writing it.

South Park - Paper Mario Style!

really hope this is All Ages South Park is such a cute world and this would be a great way for kids to get into the Universe

@SamFo said:

@Animasta: Name a funnier cartoon that would make a better game than this and sell as well? No? Nothing at all?

a funnier cartoon? I don't think any really "funny" cartoons would be a good game. a better cartoon? Avatar: The Last Airbender RPG would be the best thing ever

I was excited about this until I read Obsidian is making it.

@Buckfitches said:

South Park is still a thing? I thought it stopped being funny and/or relevant 10 years ago.

Guess I was wrong. Consider me disappointed.

Have you watched South Park in the last 10 years? It's still pretty good.

Obsidian + South Park = things that are completely awesome, but are just skirting the edge of being completely incoherent. No matter what the results are, I win.

Fact that Matt and Trey are writing this is really gonna seal the deal that at least it will be incredibly funny. What a wonderful thing this is. Also a genuine surprise. Im on board!

Could honestly not be any more excited than I am right now.

Chris Avellone writing a South Park game. Fuckin shit, Goddamn, fuck.

"Are these your tears, Scott?"

I'm down for more costume quest plus naughty words.

As much as I would like to discount this and say it'll probably be bad, I get the feeling it'll be pretty fun.

wait what really?

LOL this COULD be awesome! The tower defense game was a fun experience :)
