lordgizka Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I was mostly interested to see if there were some sort of narrative forks in this game, but if the previews don't mention anything like it, then I guess not. Still, the game looks awesome otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 There also seems to be a new trailer, but I can't see the trailer because I don't have a youtube account.It's not so much a trailer as it is the Intro/first 13 minutes gameplay type of thing, I think. Kinda cute, even to a non-SouthPark person like me. “Things are as they are.

Tale Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think Eurogamer specifically mentioned not finding a narrative fork in the hour they had with it. I recall hearing we get a choice between which army we support, Cartman vs the elves, at some point. But I could easily be misunderstanding what I heard a year ago.

My fear is that there is there is no mention of such features in any of the marketing. Whoever's in charge might simply not prioritize this over "self-insert into South Park". South Park has a ridiculous international fan base anyway, so why bother? However many collectibles and side-quests this game might have, if the player can do everything in one playthrough, replayability will suffer. I mean, if the only difference between playthroughs is PC's class, and if that only affects battle mechanics and some spoken lines, that's not enough. Of course, Obsidian never made a completely narratively linear game before. So that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzalcoatl Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Of course, Obsidian never made a completely narratively linear game before. So that's something. Of course, this is the first time they worked on a game where they didn't write the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as there is no evidence to what I'm fearing, there is none to the contrary. When there is no factual information, all we can do is assume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 "When there is no factual information, all we can do is assume." Or not. Since when is speculation a requirement?
