Really looking forward to this. It's pretty amazing how close it looks to the tv show.

Looks great. Although, whenever something has this much quality stuff packed into it, I worry it'll end up being really short. That's fine, I guess, but it also seems like something that you'll only wanna play once.

I'm not sure what to think. The cutscenes look great. However, the gameplay seems somewhat gimmicky, as though the novelty of it could exhaust itself quickly.

You mean the same as all turn based RPG's then?...yeah, just you be all negative to look cool and edgy!

This game looks incredible. They can take as much time as they need to make it even better.... as long as it does eventually come out...

For the first time in 17 years, South Park missed an episode two weeks ago (it aired last week instead). They produce a whole episode in a week. They write it, animate it, edit it, etc. in a week.

It's pretty funny how this game keeps on being delayed, given the context of the show.

Well yeah, that isn't surprising at all given how much they rely on current events as a crutch for their lame "comedy". This game actually seems kinda decent, so of course it's delayed until it's a passable product.

Why do i feel like this is going to be this generation's Duke Nukem Forever?

By the time the new date rolls around, they'll delay again to announce development for PS4/X1, then delay it again to redesign certain aspects to take advantage of the power of those consoles... this game just seems like it's in an odd place.

If the game plays as good as this trailer is, they definitely have a winner on their hands.

This actually looks good! The combat's ripped from Mario and Luigi, but that's okay because people without Nintendo handhelds ever played them!

Voice acting is good too (way better then that Family Guy shooter released earlier this year)

I'd rather have it right/polished than just tossed out substandard. Games like South Park either come out right teh first time or they just suck forever. It not like Assassins Creed or CoD where another one comes out a year later to fix the series.

This game will come out and you won't see another one unless it is ridiculously successful. BUT, to be ridiculously successful it will need to be nearly perfect. That why I'd rather see them wait and fix the game than toss it out.

I think the creative minds behind this thing won't settle for anything less than perfection. When you look at everything Trey and Matt created, they don't stop until it's exactly as they envisioned it.

This game looks amazing.

Ah yes, I can't wait for a boring pile of contrarian and populist libertarian shit.

@pandabear:

This looks great to a southpark fan because its the closest thing yet to playing an episode of southpark. I would agree that the gameplay looks underwhelming but if the gameplay is mediocre there is still potential for this game to be great if the story and jokes are great.

This game is less about the combat/gameplay and more about the story and humour.

Though obviously I would like the game part to be fun.

That was a great video. I laughed quite often.

I wasn't expecting turn-based combat in this demo, but it does look surprisingly fun, and polished.

Other than that, this looks like a classic South Park episode, only you get to play it. I'm on board, only because I love RPG's, and I loved the South Park movie.

Had to stop watching and save it for later. The delay will just give me more opportunity to give the game my full attention when it comes out after the wave of holiday releases has subsided.

Bravo to Obsidian and Ubi for not releasing it until its 'Ready'. Titles rushed out of the door under market or investor pressure are seldom memorable.

Man, a video about this game that finally tick the gamer part of my brain and then the news about delay again, speaking of bittersweet.
