Genitals are Funny

I dunno. I read about it on Escapist and it said there Matt and Trey are writing the script. If that is true then it might not suck.

South Park rocks and all, but I'm not sure I get it. Will you be roleplaying in this?

Edit: Off of Gamespot:

GI characterized the game as a "full-scale" role-playing game, where players assume the role of a new kid in town tasked with making friends and defending South Park from a "wide range of threats."

Currently playing: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, Picross DS
Last played: Time Hollow (good)
Last watched: Agent Carter (very good)
Me on Favslist

I haven't watched South Park in over a decade, but I'm interested in this game because of the developer alone. Obsidan is one of the few developers I trust to consistently deliver a quality product.

Looking forward to this! Could be a unique, hiarious, and real fun rpg.

And funny, a decade ago is exactlly the moment I started watching Southpark.

South Park still has pretty good episodes most of the time, though the crappy ones are a bit more prevalent than when the show was at its peak (Season 6 to 9, imo).

An Obsidian RPG? A funny RPG? Not sure how this will work, but I hope it's good.

Some of the details from the Game Informer reveal:

The game will have the same 2D art style as the show.
The player's character is a new kid in town and will be completely customizable.
There will be a faction system.
The gameplay is compared to the Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi RPGs. Lots of timed button presses to increase damage and defense. No platforming, though.
There will be five different classes to choose from: wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, and 'an unconventional fifth class'.
A 'materia-like system' to augment weapons and some sort of summon system.
The game is using the Dungeon Seige III engine (which was a really polished and bug-free game).
The main focus of the humor will be RPGs specifically, not really gaming as a whole.
