Obsidian's new game: South Park RPG, for PC too!

No, he worked on Alpha Brotocol while NV was in production, moved to NV in the late stages, worked on the dlc, then on an unanounced project, then this.
I also find it weird that he's now working full time on this and there's still no news on the mysterious project. Unless they make an announcement soon, it probably got cancelled, which would suck for Obsidian.

Oh great, so now people will be praising this no matter how bad it is just because of MCA.

The other mysterious project is Sawyer's IP, and judging from his twitter posts he's probably writing that himself. So no, not cancelled.

Still, there should be an XBLA title, Project Virginia I think, no idea what happened to that.

From five months ago:

Obsidian. Polished at release.

That's a good thing isn't it? Obsidian stays alive by constantly having projects being developed. Maybe with the extra time they can get another project setup with a publisher and, more importantly, setup that darn Kickstarter.

Here's another report, this one focusing on THQ's financial situation.

And who is the publisher?

All major news sites cite THQ being the publisher of South Park RPG so far..

I think what he means is that the game is not beeing funded by THQ or at least that THQ doesn't have the rights. The game has a really high chance of coming out as Matt and Trey put so much work already into it. If THQ doesn't work out they will just look for another way.

Viacom iirc.

I guess it'll become clear once we know the actual reason of this delay.

Sega are a bunch of fucking idiots who screwed up AP by releasing it after ME2 and around the same time as Splinter Cell Conviction. Delaying it for 6 months for marketting and then proceeding to not market it is incredibly stupid.

I doubt THQ/Viacom are stupid enough to delay the game for any reason other than more devtime to finish and polish the game.

Square Enix said they delayed DXHR and DS3's release by a few months to improve the devtime and polish.

DS3 only got an extra month so I think it was just for bugfixing but I think DXHR got around 3 months extra.

If it wasn't for extra content then it would've been for QA testing which is still a good thing.

DXHR got like 5 months. Was supposed to come out in March, but instead it came out in August. And yeah, they said it was for polishing the game, though the release date of some other games probably also had something to do with that. Was not a dumbass move at all.

Ah that's right, at DS3's initial launch date it would've been coming out with high profile titles like LA Noire. Quite smart of SquEnix to carefully place their games outside of release windows of higher profile titles.

A real fag hatting faggots. Now I've seen everything. Time to check out

On his formspring George Ziets said that Aliens was not in a "good place" when he returned from his Zenimax hiatus. Perhaps Sega was partially to blame for that, perhaps not. Anyway it freed up Obsidian to work on their Fallout 3 spin-off so I'm sure it wasn't a big loss for them, Avellone even said it was a good thing overall.

Also it's totally easy to fall in love with hypotheticals. Never a chance of disappointment.
