THQ Release Screenshots of Upcoming South Park RPG

The hit cartoon South Park, hasn’t had the best of runs when it comes to the world of video games, however, with Matt Stone & Trey Parker teaming up with Obsidian, this one could be goodun. In the aptly titled; South Park: The Game, the player takes on the role of the new kid in everyone’s favourite mountain town. You go on adventures with the four mischievous boys we know, oh so well. Enemies in the game include gingers, goths and so much more. What’s not to love?

The fact that Stone & Parker are big gamers is reassuring. They are working hard to make this project a good one and the game looks set to have that authentic feel with them writing it. On top of that, you have one of RPGs big hitters in Obsidian developing.

The older games never looked right either. South Park’s jump into the 3D world looked poor to say the least. But, with South Park: The Game, it looks exactly like the show. It’s yet another reason why I’m pretty excited about it. However, it goes without saying that, judgement must be held back ’till we see more. At this point in time though, things are looking pretty sweeeeet.
