THQ Nordic South Park game revealed, co-op mujltiplayer. coming 2024. South Park Snow Day

 

[Meicyn]

Loved the South Park RPGs. This looks awful.

 

[havoc00]

reminds me of the n64 game and thats not a good thing

 

[Certinty]

Who the hell asked for this? Everyone wanted a sequel to The Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole, not whatever in the fuck this is.

 

[El Muerto]

Well this is a step backwards.

 

[Davevil]

No Ubisoft ? No rpg?

 

[analog_future]

Wow, an actual 3D Southpark game.

Reminds me of the N64 days:

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Idk looks kinda cool to me

 

[The Cockatrice]

GIVE ME A FUCKIGN RPG like the previous two. Jesus how are they not making one when both were amazing.... fuck sake. Fuck THQ

 

[MirageMew2]

No for real wtf is up with those literal N64 graphics lol the first two games were literally perfect

 

[Vox Machina]

reminds me of the n64 game and thats not a good thing

Man I played the shit out of that game. All I remember about it is pelting turkeys with snowballs in the fog, or something.

 

[LordCBH]

Whoever fucking greenlit this needs to be fired. Absolutely no excuse to make anything other than one like SoT and FBW

 

[havoc00]

Man I played the shit out of that game. All I remember about it is pelting Turkey's with snowballs in the fog, or something.

I remember my mom driving me all over to get it because it was sold out everywhere

 

[KungFucius]

What the fuck is this shit? The RPGs were great, why not do another with that known good formula instead of some multiplayer bullshit?

 

[Robb]

Talk about misstep. Looks absolutely atrocious.

 

[Dazraell]

 

[worldwithpyramids]

shocking how terrible this looks lmao

 

[delirium trigger]

The south park creators were heavily involved in the last two games. If they are involved again there's a chance they wanted it like this. They're definitely gamers.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

South Park just doesn't translate well to 3D.

 

[Holammer]

No Ubisoft launcher required? Cool
The entire trailer, uncool.

 

[TransTrender]

I really didn't like the 2nd South Park RPG, but this ain't it.

 

[havoc00]

I really didn't like the 2nd South Park RPG, but this ain't it.

Loved the first, 2nd was ok this just looks bad

 

[Sybrix]

Wow, an actual 3D Southpark game.

Reminds me of the N64 days:

I loved that game.

Watching this trailer gave me the same vibes.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Wtf, they nailed the art style with Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole

 

[Dr_Ifto]

Meh, ill wait for reviews. Could be good. Art direction is terrible though.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I grew up in Buffalo. Snow days were truly magical. Watching that ticker on the bottom of the screen praying to all 7 Gods that your school would show up...

 

[Sleepwalker]

Loved the South Park RPGs. This looks awful.

Pretty much lol

 

[NickFire]

If it plays like evolution of last two Im in.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm not gonna judge it until I see some good gameplay. South Park has always looked funky when rendered in 3D. Wasn't expecting it at all.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I love everything South Park, at times obsessively over the past 25 years, but this looks fucking awful.

 

[Revolutionary]

After the lessons they learned in the N64 days, I find it hard to believe that Matt & Trey agreed to a bad South Park game in 2023, so I'm going to say it's just a terrible trailer. Maybe the game itself is actually decent...

 

[Beechos]

Looks like it might be a diablo style dungeon looter possibly? If that's the case I'll be OK with it.

 

[sCHOCOLATE]

Screw you guys! I'm going home!

 

[CamHostage]

Wtf, they nailed the art style with Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole

Different developer, different publisher, different game genre. Different "they".

It's unclear if THQ Nordic re-acquired the rights to South Park or if South Park Digital is its own producer/licensee and can dole out rights to separate publishers? (Kind of like Marvel Games.) If that were the case then the Ubisoft RPG line might not be dead. But in either case, this was never going to be South Park RPG #3, it was always going to be a unique take on the brand.

Good idea or bad idea to go this direction with a new South Park game, we can talk about that...

 

[64bitmodels]

I'm not gonna judge it until I see some good gameplay. South Park has always looked funky when rendered in 3D. Wasn't expecting it at all.

its not the 3d its the fact its a co op multiplayer game. we just wanted another RPG.

 

[MiguelItUp]

its not the 3d its the fact its a co op multiplayer game. we just wanted another RPG.

I get that, but that's Ubisoft, this is THQ. So they probably want to do something different.

 

[Victor Omega]

This is what [insert beloved Nintendo franchise] in UNREAL ENGINE fan-made games look like to me.

 

[Gamezone]

What the hell is this?

 

[newtypepilot]

more like South Park: Shit Day!!

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Fucking yeeees a new south park game about fricken tiimm

Multiplayer.......

 

[GloveSlap]

I remember my mom driving me all over to get it because it was sold out everywhere

I totaled my first car at 16 years old driving to Walmart with my friends to go get the N64 game. Never did get the game lol.

 

[Bridges]

Why does it look so bad

 

[Fermbiz]

 

[Warnen]

That looks terrible

 

[CamHostage]

its not the 3d its the fact its a co op multiplayer game. we just wanted another RPG.

We did?

The RPGs turned out shockingly well twice (especially after Obsidian didn't do the second one, ) but "RPG" was always a weird fit for South Park that only worked because of the quality. You can't guarantee that will hold up forever. (And you certainly can't guarantee quality on a THQ Nordic budget...)

Also, the work that had to go into the South Park RPGs must have been major for Parker and Stone. Tons of lines, tons of writing/approvals, tons of recording, most of it on thise two guys. I was always surprised they did to 2x, and not surprised for this game they appear to have gone with a less demanding action concept.

 

[phant0m]

thq really taking the netflix approach and just greenlighting whatever the fuck gets pitched, eh?

stick of truth was an awesome game

 

[stickkidsam]

It’s looks so bad…

I LOVE IT!!

 

[DAHGAMING]

"Co-op multiplayer" cunts.

 

[Sethbacca]

So is this an RTS or a MOBA or something? I mean it doesn't look great, but it doesn't look terrible either. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing something ages ago about how Parker and Stone are involved in every game after the early years so it may be fun.

 

[VN1X]

Is it a top-down thingy?
