South Park reached out directly and more revealed by Obsidian CEO
We’re still in the aftershock period of the South Park: The Game announcement, so let’s run down what we know again. Firstly, it’s a RPG coming to major platforms, that much we know. We also know we’ll be playing as the new kid in school. Game Informer’s video interview with Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart now tells us a bit about the behind-the-scenes stuff that lead up to it all.
Of the difficulties his studio faced, the first was trying to create a game both true to its roots and enjoyable to fans of the show. Before you can run, you’ve got to stiffly hop along sideways and stuff, after all. So during Obsidian’s first meeting with show creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the developer tried to really nail the look — the exterior and interior of Stan’s house was created, complete with his dad Randy in playing Guitar Hero in his underwear. You know, from that episode.
After getting the look down, the next hurdle was making it “a big epic game,” Urquhart said in the video interview, which you can see by clicking through the source link below. We’ll all find out if Obsidian succeeded come next year.South Park reached out directly and more revealed by Obsidian CEO originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:00:00 EST.
