Hopefully this doesn't prevent a 3rd 2D RPG of South Park from coming out. I was really hoping for that to happen.
This game has potential but I'm cautious with my expectations.

Yeah, I also like the 2D South Park games. I like Stick of Truth more, but both titles are good.

If I'm not mistaken, we don't have a good 3D South Park game yet, let's see if they get it right this time.

The media, back in the 1990s, accused South Park of being all about bad graphics and fart jokes. I’m response, Matt and Trey created an episode that was actually about that to contrast what South Park is: Terrance and Philip.

Unfortunately, the Terrance and Philip style comedy is kind of what the last South Park game ended up being. It wasn’t just fart jokes, but an excessive volume of them. It was more annoying than a bad meme that got tired months ago, but you’re still somehow seeing it posted like 732 times a day on Social Media: “All your base are belong to us! Isn’t it brilliant?!?” The sort of humour akin to what the media falsely accused South Park of in the 1990s.

I hope they leave the fart jokes out of it this time around. Otherwise, I’m not even considering this game.

I mean this isn't the same publisher getting the game under its hands this time. Does this game has the same dev team as the previous 2D games ? Anywoo, cautiously optimistic about this one.

Damn, another one.

I need to play the other two lol

Eh, I kinda like the juxtaposition of the dumb, juvenile toilet humor - with the wittier, nuanced sociopolitical/cultural comedy. Same reason I enjoy Rick and Morty (at least the first few seasons). South Park has been better about being consistent about this since I got into the show 20+ years ago. Though they've actually gone so much more in the latter direction lately (and less successfully), I'd actually find a return to more of the silly, goofier fart jokes w/less bombast more refreshing.

Regarding the game - looks pretty sweet to me at least artistically. But I legit couldn't grasp what kind of game it was from the brief amount of actual footage shown.. MOBA? third-person action? Diablo-style isometric ARPG? 

My point is that the excessive fart jokes and gags aren’t what South Park was ever about. It’s what the critics in the 1990s incorrectly claimed the show was about. This is why the Terrence and Phillip episode was created, to depict what a show like that would otherwise be. I mean, if that’s what you want, the second South Park game might be for you. It gave me a headache in the same way a bad meme repeated over and over and over and over again does.

I hope this will trigger other shows to make games again. I would sure love a new Simpsons game.

No, both games were published by Ubisoft, but Obsidian Entertainment made the first game (really loved!) and a Ubisoft internal studio made the second game (didn't care for that game at all really)

So THQ Nordic is taking a crack at it now. I'm guessing one of their internal studios.
