Do you remember when Microsoft revealed a South Park XBLA game? Cast your mind back to E3 2008. Yep, well over a year ago, Eric Cartman was screaming something during the Microsoft press conference and then ... nothing. Nobody said anything, everybody forgot about it. Despite this, it's still coming, and it'll be shown at Comic Con.
Halo 3: ODST, Alan Wake, The Beatles: Rock Band, Left 4 Dead 2, Shadow Complex and Gears of War 2: Dark Corners are also expected to be in attendance, along with a brand new trailer for Splinter Cell: Conviction. Should be quite a hot little lineup.
It'll be interesting to see what form this South Park game will take. The long period spent underground hints that the title will be more than a simple update to the old N64 shooter. Mind you, does anyone still care about it?

Hopefully it doesn't suck, like the previous South Park games...
My curiosity is piqued.
I wish south park would end...like another very long running comedy that is not funny anymore.
If this is anywhere near the same concept as the N64 version, I'm sold.
This. That is all.
whatever happened to that South Park game?[/i]
I'm still mildly interested. If they're taking that long, it actually has the posssibilty of quality.
I would love to see an adventure game, too. Especially if it was done in the actual visuals of South Park (I had my fun with the N64 FPS too, but South Park does NOT translate well to 3D). An adventure game, switching it up between the four boys, and written entirely by Trey Parker, might be a perfect game.
South Park is my favorite TV show of all time, as its evolution is amazing to watch and the show is consistently entertaining even when it's not especially funny. A rare case of a show getting better as it gets older. Let's hope they get a great game out of it this time.
