I bet they've gotten 85% more bonuses for such numbers.

One game I actually wish they did a remaster for.

I really hope so. I'm already quite worried about Obsidian not being involved.
It's backwards compatible on Xbox One if that's of any use to you?

is the sequel even a rpg? I thought they were changing it to action because of superheroes

Not really a fan of the source material, and I thought some of the jokes fell flat, but it was a really solid game and was able to keep my interest until the end. I'm less excited about the sequel given that it's not being developed by Obsidian, but I'll give it a look.
This one is being made by Ubi's San Diego studio, IIRC.
I don't feel Obsidian is necessarily the key to success, but Trey and Matt's involvement certainly would be.

As far as I know Stone and Parker were in charge of writing in The Stick of Truth. I don't expect much to change honestly.
Not nearly as interested if it isn't an RPG either though.
Have they announced what it is?
Legit question I'm curious: If you're not a fan of the source material, what element drew you in?
Seems the kinda title being a fan of the source material would be far more important than usual
It's still an RPG.
Not really sure it needs a remaster. If you want to play it on a PS4 then I understand wanting that but its PC and BC on X1 and looks great... the art really does not need a remaster in my opinion.

I think so.
Well that's good. Maybe it can match up. It was a pretty simple system overall so it's not like they don't have a ton to build on.
If only that were the case.

Well deserved sales. In addition to being a great South Park game it's a great game all around. I should do another playthrough some day.

This is the only game I want to have a story dlc. Really love the game.
I hope so. When Obsidian has good writers, they can make an amazing rpg.

Would have been one of the best games of all time, if it weren't for the abortion episode.
You are not giving Obsidian credit enough. They were the ones who pitched the idea to Trey and Matt in first place, they made an engine and put a big effort in creating something alike the show that could convince them (which was not easy as they were burnt out from past South Park videogames project). The Stick of Truth wouldn't exist without them.
I hope Ubi has treated Obsidian fairly with royalties, bonus and so, but I kinda doubt it, Obsidian always gets screwed, one way or another.

It's more of a groundwork thing than anything. Obsidian did great work, no doubt, but the foundation is so solid that the concept really doesn't need them around.

Yeah it does, that's how I managed to play it. Aside from some audio sync issues in a couple of cutscenes, it runs perfectly (I completed everything in the game).

You guys gotta let the remaster go. It isn't happening. They only said this to give holders a point of comparison to how well FbW could sell. They're not paying Obsidian to port SoT. It makes way way more sense financially to just make a new game from an internal studio.

Glad to hear. I loved this game.

From what I read though Stick of Truth use a heavily modified version of Onyx engine. Considering Obsidian owns the engine at least I can't see Ubisoft just taking over and using the same thing for the sequel. I can't imagine they would be allowed to use same engine without paying royalties at the very least.

Nice numbers, I kinda enjoyed it. But I feel like I'm one of very few that didn't think it was all that. I expected more from Obsidian in terms of the RPG aspect of it, so I'm not sure it's that much of a big loss that they aren't involved in the sequel.
Lord of Castamere

Pretty sure that's wrong(partially). Last I remember reading it Matt and Trey scouted out Obsidian as one of their best choices to make an actually good South Park game/Rpg, as they were fans of their work. After they made contact, Obsidian put together a concept demo and M&T were impressed so they signed them up.
BTW I just looked it up. I'm right.

Not bad for a game that was stuck in development hell for so long.
(Though I guess it was technically publishing hell.)

Great sales for a great game. One of the best of 2014.

Shocked that it sold that much to be honest, extremely well deserved. I'd heard a lot about stick of truth on places like giantbomb about how crazy the game is, so I tried to temper my expectations thinking it couldn't be too wild.
Granted I haven't watched the show in five years so maybe it was just the novelty but the final hour of that game is just pure insanity...the things you do...the thing (s) you see, I cannot believe it made it into a game.
One of the boldest, brashest games I've played in years. I really hope they don't water down the humour this time round. The fact that the core of the game was like, a really decent approximation of the old Paper Mario games makes Stick of Truth all the more hilarious, it's a great lite RPG on top of the crazy humour.
