A full RPG South Park game? I am intrigued.....Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:28 AM
Anyone think this will be any good? :DThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:28 AM
This should be interesting. Hopefully the gameplay and combat will be good at least!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:29 AM
Should be entertaining if you enjoy South Park.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:30 AM
Holy cow that sounds great so long as it's a proper RPG and not just a cheap cash inThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:30 AM
Awesome-O...! Day one buy for me..Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:30 AM
Obsidian you say? AND writtern by Trey and Matt!? This will be the greatest game ever!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:30 AM
Can anyone else see the pink ":D" half way down the side of the page?Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:31 AM
Anybody find it hilarious that Kenny is a female in the reflection of the water?!? HAHAHAHA!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:31 AM
RPG game of the year right here. Sorry Mass Effect 3, your not an RPG game anymore.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:33 AM
Simpsons did it!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:35 AM
Hopefully ManBearPig will be one of the bosses.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:36 AM
DO WANT.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:37 AM
LMFAO!!! I enjoyed TV series in past and I had played N64 version of South Park and it is quite good game but let hope this can live up to good. Will of course preorder this game for achievements!! :)Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:38 AM
I'm being super serial when I say I WANT!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:39 AM
Holy crap... I... I think I want it.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:41 AM
Obsidian huh? Well then, maybe it'll turn out like New Vegas. 6 months after release and 10 patches later you should be able to play it the way it was intended...Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:41 AM
@17 Thankyou for borking the pageThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:42 AM
even if its bad gameplay wise, im sure it will be hilarious.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:43 AM
I use to love the N64 game. Levels felt empty but unlocking all the multiplayer characters was great. Starvin Marvin FTW!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:45 AM
Said the same thing on Kotaku. This game was announced and all of a sudden everyone seemed to forget about the XBLA exclusive platformer announced for Spring 2012. I'm not imagining that, right? RIGHT?Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:51 AM
Ok, this is a day one purchase for sure. Love RPGs and love SP ;)Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:56 AM
TAKE MY MONEY!!! TAKE IT!!!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:00 PM
Bring Back Gingers!!! This will be hilarious... I might be able to get my friend that HATES rpgs to play it. Hopefully there will be some MP aspect to it like the N64 version had.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:05 PM
This is amazing!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:13 PM
Oh Hamburgers.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:18 PM
This will be anawsome game for the fact the Trey and Matt themselves are writing out the story so it will have an originalty to it. Awsome news.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:20 PM
This could be pretty cool.........don't f this up obsidian!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:22 PM
excited? hellz yes!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:31 PM
We can not know with certainty if god or Christ exists. They could. Then again there could be a giant reptilian bird in charge of everything. Can we be certain there isn't? No, so it's pointless to talk about itThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:33 PM
This is awesome news. I don't think I ever thought of a South Park RPG game, but it's great that Obsidian, the creators of Fallout: New Vegas and one of my favorite RPG's Knights of the Old Republic, are making this game. Now I have this and the upcoming XBLA South Park game to wait for. These will hopefully be great games.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:43 PM
Awwwwsooooome! This is good, good news. I enjoyed the last South Park game because of Matt and Trey's involvement.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:43 PM
AwesomeSauce!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:44 PM
Wow, I'm feeling kinda bowling-ballish, fellas.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:47 PM
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeetThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:50 PM
I'm totally down for this.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:50 PM
Hopefully this isn't made six days before it's releasedThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:50 PM
Is this going to be full retail, or just an arcade game - either way, I hope its good!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:51 PM
This sounds very cool!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:57 PM
pretty excited to hear this. bought that let's go tower defense game and was disappointed that it was a tower deffense game. hope its a pretty decent south park game.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:57 PM
If it's anything like Costume Quest (which style and gameplay would fit perfectly IMO) then I will get it day one. Suddenly I can't wait for new GI to show up in mailbox=)Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:58 PM
@12 Screw ManBearPig, bring on the "Humancentipad" !!!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 12:59 PM
I love SP and RPGs, so this sounds like a winning combination!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:00 PM
Obsidian + Trey&Matt is a sure winner in my book. Really looking forward to this.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:05 PM
South Park RPG sounds great, BUT.... Obsidian makes glitchy games and THQ rarely patch, so I got my doubts.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:10 PM
I am always impressed by South Park's ability to make satire out of everything. Hopefully they can keep it that way with a full gameThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:15 PM
I would give this a try.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:16 PM
@17, well done you've managed to break the tread. OT: awesome hopefully it'll be better than the previous retail south park games.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:19 PM
Wish Volition had done it, but still hopeful. Screw you guys, I'm going home.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:21 PM
Now this could be both insane and amazing at the same time =)Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:28 PM
Question: Can I die happy now? Answer Fuck yes you can.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:28 PM

KEEP IT GOING. as info "As the new kid in South Park, it'll be up to you to make friends and defend the town from a wide range of threats."Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:42 PM

Been a fan since the first episode. Want to know what I think? Its super, thanks for asking! Bring on Trapper Keeper and Mecha Streisand as bosses! This will be day 1 buy for me. Let's hope there is no major game breaking bugs.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 01:53 PM
This could be a really great game! Im just hoping I can play as Towelie, Wanna get High?Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 02:00 PM

Innnteresting! I hope Butters gets a good amount of screen time.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 02:26 PM
Awesome!! SouthPark is amazing. RPG's are my top genre. And Obsidian makes some dame good games. Win win win scenario!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 02:31 PM
@10 for once in your trolling life, you say something we can all agree upon.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 02:37 PM
Nothing bad can come of thisThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 02:47 PM
This page needs a pic of Fry shouting "Shut up! Take my money already!" Seriously, South Park RPG?! I'm sold. I want to be a Mage CartmanThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 02:51 PM
damn, i still remember the first game back in the N64 daysThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:00 PM
With this been written by Matt and Trey, it can only be amazing. Day 1 buy for me.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:19 PM
@41 "bought that let's go tower defense game and was disappointed that it was a tower deffense game" Uhm.... Okay, that is the most retarded complaint about a game I have ever heard in my life. OT: STOKED!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:27 PM
I wonder what the graphics will be like?Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:34 PM
I've loved Southpark games since N64 and ps2 with the quiz show game whatever it was called, the cart racing one, and the tower defense on xbla. Yeah i know i'm horrible with games, but I'm so ready for a Southpark RPG it's not even funny. Bring it.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:42 PM
This is why South Park is kickass. Can't wait for the magazine to arriveThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:54 PM
@ #32 - Obsidian didn't have anything to do with the first KotOR. OT: This is interesting news. I sure as heck won't be buying on day one, but I'll keep an eye out for this eventual game.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 04:00 PM
Looking forward to it!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 04:16 PM
This should be... interesting.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 04:23 PM

Looking forward to seeing some video...I'm interested.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 04:45 PM
I wonder if the anal probing aliens will be in this. I am going to have to pick this up day one.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 04:54 PM
A contender for ME3 as most anticipated game of 2012!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 05:11 PM
this looks stupid!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 05:35 PM
I Need that in my life. I will support Trey and Matt in what ever they do, Just keep making south park.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 05:39 PM
WHATEVAH WHATEVAH I do what i want! :PThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 05:39 PM
FUCK YEAH! I hope this stacks amongst 30 different regions so I can play it that many times for points. This game will be tits "big fat oprah tits".Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 06:19 PM
dark souls meets south park...Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 06:27 PM
Awe------some!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 06:32 PM
I didn't mind New Vegas and haven't played Alpha Protocol yet but Obsidian still hold a lot of good faith from me based on KotOR 2; I am intrigued.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 07:17 PM
well, this is going to be one to watch in my book, hope it can deliver on it's potentialThursday, December 01, 2011 @ 09:08 PM
Wait, so this is happening? If so, SWEET! Please forgive my skepticism after last week's inundation of "news" stories here based on naught but rumor and third tier hearsay.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 09:13 PM
I'll reserve my excitement until we see some gameplay videos I think. I'm a huge fan of Obsidians love filled but buggy creations and a script written by the creators of the franchise is clearly a fucking brilliant thing but I've never seen a south park game... no scratch that I've never seen a south park product of any kind that wasn't somewhere between tediously generic and unfathomably fucking awful. It's going to take a lot to overcome that history but this... this MIGHT do it.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 10:09 PM
Might be the smartest thing that THQ will have done in the past few years.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 10:24 PM
Wow, I got really excited and then I saw Obsidian "Entertainment", the worst developer in video games. Wow, really guys? I have bought every single one of their games except Neverwinter Nights and have never been able to complete any of them due to the glitches they all have and the unfinished products that they ship. I'll try it out in 5 years when maybe they've patched to the point of being playable. BOYCOTT OBSIDIAN!!!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 10:44 PM
It makes sense bc Trey Parker already has made it in TV, movies, and now Broadway with his hit musical. Why not try to conquer another major media outlet. I think it'll be great provided obsidian entertainment doesn't screw it all up.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:02 PM
Sounds great. Being the new kid in South Park is a pretty cool idea meaning you'll have to meet all of the locals for quest and all but I would rather play as the boys in 5 player co-op. I think that would definitely be a blast.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:12 PM
omgomgomg this is the kinda game i would buy even if it's crap as hell. South Park FTW!!!Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:32 PM
This being a spoof of Skyrim (open-world etc) would be the best game in the entire world.Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 11:43 PM
This sounds amazing. Thank you, THQ.Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 02:08 AM
Ha. This already sounds brilliant.Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 03:13 AM
I am buying this. Hopefully it'll be in the Summer so I can play it to death before Uni. Great news that Matt and Trey are on this, I think this has the potential to be awesome..Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 03:24 AM
OT: This should be interesting possible day 1 buy So much hate for obsidian with out actual knowledge of circumstances, ignorance the only real human talent. Considering they’ve been screwed over by there publishers almost every time (changed release dates buggy unsupported game engines etc) they still make some of the best in-depth interesting and enjoyable RPG’s out thereFriday, December 02, 2011 @ 05:07 AM
I was literally just telling my friend on Live that I wished they'd make a new South Park game, as we both played the N64 game when we were younger. This just made my gaming year :)!Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 05:46 AM
@12 Don't forget Snooki Monster haha.Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 05:51 AM
Please let Randy be a playable character!!!Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 11:28 AM
Let's hope you can kill Justin Bieber in this!!!!Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 04:39 PM
siiiiickkkkkFriday, December 02, 2011 @ 06:58 PM
I wanna play as Towely!!!Friday, December 02, 2011 @ 07:10 PM
Hopefully the whole game will be based off the fun with weapons episode animation, Actually a game with a lot of potential and a lot of characters, Where else can you have Saddam Hussein fight Micheal Jackson for a spot in hell with Billy Mays trying to sell you tickets.Saturday, December 03, 2011 @ 03:28 AM
i loved the south park arcade games so this is great news!!! cant wait!Monday, December 05, 2011 @ 07:42 PM
why not just remake the old ps1 fps game in hd?Monday, December 26, 2011 @ 02:10 PM
I really can't wait for this to come out finally there making a disc game not a arcade one oh and BTW this game should be coming out on the 6th of july 2012 this is what Thehut said heres a link to it :) http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/south-park-the-game/10578476.htmlFriday, January 06, 2012 @ 05:52 PM

In what is a bizarre turn of events, one that we didn't see coming at all, it appears that THQ and Obsidian will be joining forces to bring you South Park: The Game in 2012, a fully-blown retail RPG title.
Teased moments ago by Game Informer, who has the game on their next cover, South Park: The Game, which is an RPG and whose script has been penned by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone themselves, is described as an "ambitious project" and a "full-scale RPG," and will be hitting the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.
According to the short blurb on the game, you'll play as the new kid in town who will have to make friends and defend the small mountain town from a wide range of threats - presumably one of those is Cartman!
Wow. Just wow... and that's not in a bad way. Just in a shocked way... after all, we loves our South Park!
There's not much else than that to go on just yet, but it's early days for THQ and Obsidian's latest announcement. Expect more from this one in the coming months.
