The Koalition writes: "The only possible way to describe my reaction when I heard a South Park RPG was in the works, would be to call it cautious optimism. Obviously, combining two of my favorite things is a recipe for success in most situations (Zelda and gore makes Darksiders, an incredible series) so I had good reason to get optimistic. However, I know how licensed games can go terribly, horrifically wrong. Not to mention the fact that South Park hasn't had the best of track record in the game industry and that optimism just got cautious. Not to mention the fact that THQ died before the game even had a solid release date - the writing was more or less on the wall for South Park: The Stick of Truth. Going against all odds though, with Obsidian, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone leading the way thanks to the saving grace of Ubisoft, not only is South Park: The Stick of Truth a reality, it turned out pretty damn amazing."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
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.
Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.
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?
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
Feeling sad and on the verge of splurging on unnecessary stuff? Drop that credit card, amigo and come read about the funniest PS4 games!
I see Deadpool made the list. Also saw it in stock at the local game store. Second hand. Might finally pick up a copy.
Can't wait to pick this up later on today.
