Ok, if Matt & Trey start saying stuff like "OH MAN, THOSE OBSIDIAN GUYS COULDN'T CODE A GAME TO SAVE THEIR LIVES AMIRITE" during this presentation thing, then I'd be willing to concede that they're probably very angry at them.
If they don't address it or address it more vaguely, e.g. using the word "we" a lot or whatever, then you guys must promise to stop pissing your pants over how much they hate Obsidian, mmkay?

Recap for the people with link phobia:

...
VGX (#VGX) also announced that “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will be on hand along with an exclusive sneak peek of the highly anticipated game “South Park: The Stick of Truth.” Additionally, VGX unveiled its first wave of exclusive world premieres that will be debuted during the three-hour live stream on Saturday, December 7, beginning at 6:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM PT.
...
including exclusive new looks at “Titanfall,” “Quantum Break,” “South Park: The Stick of Truth,” “Broken Age,” “Dying Light,” “Tom Clancy’s The Division,” and "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.” VGX will also feature Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime presenting a new look at an upcoming Wii U game...

Who says we are pissing our pants off. I - for once - am relishing in it.

It probably keeps getting delayed because they keep rewriting it.

Didn't they actually say this in an interview? That when writing shows they usually come up with something and ask them to put it in and then revise it later, but when doing that with video games it makes people mad... E3 interview with IGN I think.

Australian version wasn't accepted at first. Matt, Trey and Obs strike back.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, are well known for not pulling their punches. When the MPAA argued that elements of the film based on the animated series were inappropriate, Stone and Parker reacted in ways that introduced more filth. Even the title, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was a double-entendre added in after the Association insisted on a change.

So the team's compromise on the Stick of Truth's Alien Probe is not really a surprise.

The entire scenario of graphic, non-consensual alien probes has been removed. In its place, the Board finds:

At several stages throughout the level which involves the player character being abducted and taken aboard an alien spacecraft, text appears onscreen which describes instances of sexual violence. The text includes "aliens forcibly probe your rectum with a dildo-shaped probe", "probe his ass with violent force" and "causing his anal probe to penetrate him over and over".

Rather than compromise on the problematic content, Stone, Parker, the team at Obsidian and the publishers at Ubisoft simply removed it altogether, and make no shame or attempt to hide it. The textual references - even as they describe the inappropriate content of earlier editions - is considered to be "comedic in intent".

But the kicker? The descriptive messages appear on-screen accompanied by a still image of a crying koala and large, red text reading simply: "CENSORED".

Are the MPPA made up of those old prissy white women who make a show of being all prim and proper?

Set inside an abortion clinic, male characters are dressed as females.

The player controls the doctor's hands and repeatedly thrusts a length of wire between the patient's splayed legs (implicitly to bring about an abortion) before applying a vacuum device to the patient's genital region

They sure are out to shock the politically correct.

Don't even have to prepare. Seems like a new South Park Behind the Scenes Video came out yesterday, but was put on private again. I knew something South Parky was coming today.

Majority of developers: "let's spend all of our time and money emulating TV and movies"
TV Producers: "jesus christ making a game is way more work"

And nothing was learned.

WoooO!

No mention of UPlay. I wonder if Valve's going to allow refunds for pre-orders if they add that on release day.
