Did no one even consider the possiblity that the folks at Obsidian are South Park fans and jumped at the chance of doing this?


To be honest that was my first opinion on their reasons. It seemed like the more likely one.


If that's the reason, then it's a pretty awesome one.

It would make sense.

I mean god forbid some game developers actually want to work on a project they like. :P

So, after reading the Game Informer article on this game, I am fairly psyched.

So.  Do.  Want.

This is rapidly becoming my most anticipated game right now.  It's competing with the likes of Dead State and KoA:R... but it's up there already! :wub:

I wonder if anyone besides me considers KOTOR II to be one of those?

For all the naysayers in this thread:

"They're making a Simpsons game based on Grand Theft Auto?! WTF?! This game will be horrible! It's just going to be a lame cash-grab! How can anyone find this game enjoyable?! It's going to get poor reviews and be a massive bomb!! The Simpsons are now officially over!!!"

Google "Simpsons Hit and Run" to see the result.

I've never been a fan of the show (never even really watched any episodes fully except the WarCraft one) but the idea of this is so utterly insane I can't help but want it to be good.

Dude, that game was amazing.  And it did really well, too.

Also, show is hardly dead - http://www.popcrunch...ratings-record/ - as last year's seaon premiere was one of the highest rated for the series ever.

It's scheduled to run for at least 20 seasons... you can count the number of shows that ran for 20 straight seasons on basically one hand.  Ignoring sports, news, and other non-fiction shows, you've got soap operas and children's shows (Seasame Street, Captain Kangaroo, Power Rangers).... moving past that, you have late night shows like The Tonight Show, anthology shows like Masterpiece Theater and Mystery and of course variety shows like Ed Sullivan or Red Skelton or Saturday night live...
You finally get to 20 seasons or more with scripted ongoing shows with Simpsons, Gunsmoke, Law & Order and...
that's it.

Unless you count soap operas, children's programming and reality shows like Survivor, there's only three scripted fiction shows that have run twenty seasons or more.  Cable or no.

Nope since I understand that Obsidian make great stories for RPGs and some pretty good gameplay. Its just buggy as hell most of the time as a standard for their games lol.

Kotor II > Kotor I. Obsidian made Revan awesome and had an original story. Kriea was also a badass and incredibily well made. The latest Kotor novel didn't acknowledge all of Kotor 2 but was fine using some ideas such as killing an entire people of force sensitives and such. Not to mention the extra gameplay mechanics like lightsaber, force forms and prestige classes and my favorite the influence system.

I actually think it's a sign of immaturity to claim to be too "old" for something.

Since the movie was R rated, and teenagers generally don't have the money for Broadway shows, I think there are plenty of adults who are quite entertained by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.  The Tony Awards, the Academy Awards, the Emmy awards, the GLAAD awards, the Peabody awards, Time magazine and Rolling Stone magazine, to just name a few, all seem to think that these creators are doing something right.  I don't think teens work for Time or Rolling Stone, and they certainly don't vote for major awards.

And before you get overly dismissive of any of that, make sure you understand what GLAAD and Peabody awards are given for.

No, you're not alone. While KotOR 1 felt more finished and so felt like a more complete experience,  I'd probably rank KotOR 2's presentation of the story and characters as one of the best in gaming. Kreia really was a brilliant character.

OMG! Sounds like Paper Mario+Legend of the Dragoon+Awesomeness Obsidian. I think this is going to be my game of the year. Someone mentioned Dead State--that game is probably going to come out late 2015 by the way its looking. I mean it will have to compete against Kingdoms and Dragons Dogma, but 2012 looks to be the best year for real RPGs. I'm already forgetting how bland and re-hashed Skyrim was. They mentioned Ultima, and that makes me feel like the old school RPGers are going to be represented in this game.
