South Park RPG is a feel-good game about fitting in, and more details

Dec 5th 2011 10:00AM (Joystiq)
The "new kid" approach works great here, as it allows you to actually have a "role" to play without stepping on the toes of existing characters.

As far as Larping turned real, that fits in with what I expected when I first heard about this. The kids get sucked into a bigger than life adventure likely entirely by accident. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the new kid ends up being tied to it.

Hoping they continue down the path of a JRPG instead of the more western FPS styles we've seen.

EA: Online Pass can expire for new-game purchases, but it shouldn't

Dec 5th 2011 9:56AM (Joystiq)
What's going to be more entertaining is when EA starts shutting down servers for games that have Online Passes.

They've already eliminated the argument about being a means of combating second-hand sales by partnering with GameStop to include codes with used titles, might as well shoot the other defense about using Pass funds to support servers in the foot as well.

Not that they didn't do that already by revealing that the $15 million from their Online Passes last year was "found money" and "pure profit".

Which again leaves me wondering...why do people defend this again?

Obsidian heading on up to South Park for PS3/Xbox 360 RPG [update: PC too!]

Dec 1st 2011 12:43PM (Joystiq)
Given the show's recent trend, I imagine part of the plot will involve one or more of the core four being totally uninterested in pursuing the adventure. Perhaps even at first thinking it's the adults (or other members of the core four) completely blowing things out of proportion.

Also, if they don't include an Aeris-esque Kenny death I will call the game an immediate fail. It's just too golden an opportunity.

Seriously, just give me a straight up turn-based South Park RPG and I will be all over this....

Joystiq tours Halo Anniversary's Kinect features

The ability to adjust game settings on the fly is nice, but "Pause" "Resume" is pointless when you're holding a controller...and "Reload" "Grenade" are (as he put it) neat but not practical.

I couldn't bring myself to care enough to watch beyond that. So I missed anything actually groundbreaking you'll have to let me know.

Call of Duty Elite still 'intermittent,' annual memberships bumped to 13 months

"Call fo Duty Support >" ....?

Is that typo on the actual service page or is this some parody image I'm not getting?

Microsoft buys indie developer Twisted Pixel

Oct 12th 2011 9:44AM (Joystiq)
@SilverPR Just a heads up, but there weren't any PS3 versions prior to this. All 5 of Twisted Pixel's games were only on the 360.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron coming from High Moon, has a transforming dino

Oct 6th 2011 2:11PM (Joystiq)
@notoriousEIC Judging by the color scheme that's an Autobot dino. Not to mention they're putting it on the cover specifically to make people go "HOLY S*** IT'S GRIMLOCK!"

Also, people seem to forget that Trypticon in the last game turned into a dino...so it's not like there isn't precedence for having those on Cybertron.
