Matt Stone Discusses The Highs And Lows Of Making 'South Park: The Stick of Truth'

Spike.com had a chance to sit down with one half of the dynamic duo behind the show, Matt Stone, as well as Jordan Thomas, creative consultant on the project, to get some insight into the differences between making the game and making the show, as well as some of the difficulties about getting 'South Park: The Stick of Truth' out the door.

I've been watching a lot of gaming related Youtube videos and Twitch videos lately, but haven't seen a single ad for this game. I don't have cable or basic TV, but have there been any commercials for this game on channels like Comedy Central, Adult Swim, etc? The game's coming out in 4 days already, and I haven't seen much hype for this game.

I guess it's just me not catching the ads at the right time, as I also haven't seen a single Titanfall ad yet even though that's coming out in 2 weeks. Just would be a shame if this game doesn't sell well, that Matt and Trey will never let anyone make a South Park game again.

Have to agree with you I had no idea this was out so soon although I've not been following it the fact it's out in 4 days has shocked me because I've not seen anything about it at all!

Titanfall on the other hand is on the TV every 2 minutes!

Can't wait for this game. My favorite show since it first aired and I've been wanting to play a game like this since probably 1997.

N64 game was a solid effort, and the multiplayer was more fun than it should have been, but THIS is the South Park game I've always wanted to play.

It's also basically the next South Park movie as well.

Can't wait! Great interview, I would like to hear from Trey as well.

Pre ordered this game! Can't wait to play it!

Please let them release this for PS4/X1. The port can't be that tough, right?

We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.

They said awhile ago that Ubisoft holds contract rights to the main flagship South Park games. So like stick, fractured and phone destroyer.

Snow Day was handled by THQ and Question and is a random spinoff. Hopefully Ubisoft is cooking something.

That's one reason to be hopeful, but Ubi is trending down too.

Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.

The 7 Best South Park Games

The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?

cammers1995149d ago (Edited 149d ago )

The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo
