FAQ?
Is South Park turn-based?
There was an obvious strength to the choice to make the games turn-based, especially considering the art style of the show. The use of turn-based combat essentially limited the amount of detailed animation required for gameplay and allowed the developers to focus on the humor and the town of South Park.
Are the South Park video games surprise hits?
To say that the two most recent South Park video games were surprise hits would be an understatement. The franchise's history of game tie-ins leading up to South Park: The Stick of Truth was anything but strong, with most of the titles being poorly designed and thus, forgotten.
What are the problems with the South Park brand?
One of the difficulties with the South Park brand is its distinctive visual design, especially when adapted into games. The series is known for the use of a distinctive 2D animation style.
Will there be a South Park sequel?
However, with the S tick of Truth, and its sequel, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have proven that they know how to make a functional and enjoyable video game. However, there is an argument that the games have stayed within the relatively simple confines of turn-based gameplay and a sequel will need to change that.
