There is going to be a south park rpg released in 2012 and it will be made by Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas) Discuss everything related to the game here! Here are a few early details of the game:
The game begins with you taking part in a live action role-playing game with other kids from the neighborhood, which eventually evolves into a real adventure.
There will apparently be five character classes for you to choose from: wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue and jew.
The lead character will be a silent protagonist at the request of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who are writing the script.
One of the key gameplay features is a smartphone that acts as the game's menu. A Facebook-like app indicates how many friends you have and your current standing with the game's various factions.
Combat is turn-based and said to be similar to the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games, with time button presses offering multiple hits or additional defense.
There'll be both ranged and melee weapons to pick up - all of which can be augmented - as well as a summons feature.
Plenty of collectibles are also promised, with different Chinpokomon dolls offered as an example.
You'll be able to explore South Park between quests. Though it's not made entirely clear in the summary, it appears that the game is 2D, with the action taking place in both the foreground and background of a scene.
The game is being developed in the same engine that Obsidian used for Dungeon Siege 3.
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
