This year's Ubisoft E3 press conference was pretty crazy. The highlight was undoubtedly the surprising announcement of the long-awaited Beyond Good & Evil 2. The new Assassin's Creed (which is apparently an RPG now) was given some more love after its introduction at the Microsoft press conference yesterday. Oh, and there was also some sort of Mario XCOM game. No, really. For our purposes though, we'll focus on South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Ubisoft's in-house sequel to Obsidian's RPG, now making its third E3 appearance. Here's its new trailer and an eleven minute gameplay video:

South Park 2 was originally supposed to have come out in December, but has been delayed at least twice, most recently last month. Turns out Matt & Trey don't work with Ubisoft any more efficiently than they did with Obsidian. The game's release date is now October 17. Hopefully that will be the final one.

Nintendo is the best for "adapting" ideas for their own IPs... that looks like pure fun, even if it's pretty simple.

Here's to hoping it will be a fun SP romp like the first one was

I was kind of getting interested with the first trailer.

Seeing the child pedo vulgarity of the second trailer made me certain I will never play this game. A little too vulgar even for South Park.

Increasingly modern people can't self-check.
