Remember that epic trailer showcasing the new South Park game for Xbox Live Arcade? All 2.4 seconds of it. No details were dropped regarding what type of game it would be but the South Park Studios official site is already trying to fuel the hype train.
A posting moments after it was unveiled at the conference reads: "A brand new South Park game is coming to Xbox Live in 2009. That's all we've got for now, but stay tuned for more details over the next few months. Let the speculations begin!"
We don't have any guesses on what it will be but we hope it has nothing to do with that awful first-person shooter or the terrible kart racing game or that laughable mini-game collection or ... wait, are we supposed to speculate on whether or not it's going to suck? Who do we send our guesses to?

At least Acclaim is dead... in that form, anyway. That's a positive sign.

Would love to see something along the lines of the old Simpsons arcade game, or maybe they could go the Penny Arcade Adventures route and do an RPG. The latter would be pretty hysterical, since they could work in Darth Chef as a boss and have the boys use the outfits from The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers. This stuff practically writes itself!
The most important thing, of course, is that it's not as shitty as all the South Park games by Acclaim. But I remember Matt & Trey saying how bummed they were about those games and that if they ever did another one, they'd want to have a stronger hand in its creation. Here's hoping they will!

Yeah I was just thinking, an adventure game kind of like the old Monkey Islands would be awesome. Each level could be like an episode on the show or something.

Fans will like it the rest will ignore it as simple as that but who isn't a fan of South Park?

There is a South Park game for the iphone/ipod touch in the app store on itunes. I'd say it is a port of this.

They should just remake the N64 game with controls that worked and shiny new graphics...

what?? those games didn't suck. i never played the fps but the other ones were funny as hell. the mini game collection was the best!!! the racing game was also pretty fun. if the new game is like either of those two i'll be very happy :D

I hope its like the one on the Nintendo 64 the First Person Shooter type that one was sweet. But it would be sweet if you could vote for what game style on xbox live or through the website.
