This One's Different: Developing A True South Park Game
Some may look at Obsidian Entertainment's catalog of games and say that developing a 2D RPG based on South Park must be a piece of cake, but the team says it presents itself as a "different" challenge. Between converting their Dungeon Siege III engine to present a 2D world, precisely recreating the look of the show, and ensuring that players are laughing all the way through, there are a handful of hurdles that Obsidian Entertainment must clear before the game is on store shelves. The man overseeing the development of this delicate project is Chris Parker, and you can check out the video below to learn how Obsidian is tackling the challenge of crafting a massive and comedic RPG.
