South Park: The Stick of Truth was fantatsisch, maar niet perfect. Zo vielen er best wel wat gamers over het feit dat je alleen met een jongen het verhaal kon beleven. Dat gaat in het tweede deel veranderen. South Park-makers Trey Parker en Matt Stone laten weten dat je ook als een meisje kunt spelen. Dit zal ook een effect hebben op hoe andere kinderen in de stad op je reageren.
In Stick of Truth we got halfway through the game, and we had narratively come up with the big Girls’ Quest halfway through it. [The Girls] were a faction in the fantasy world. And then someone’s like, ‘What if you want to be a girl?’
Narratively, it didn’t work. We’d have to sh- can the whole game. So we just left it the way it was. This time, we obviously wanted to add that.
The boys are little boys, because it’s really a story about little boys running around. So they don’t care about [your character being a girl]? That seems weird. They always seemed to care about it in the show. Are they dumb about it, and they don’t know? So you’re in hiding? Or do they totally care about that, and totally treat you differently? So we ended up doing those things differently for different characters. It’s been a funny journey to go through, introducing something that we thought would just be a cool feature. You’re a girl! But now they’re going to treat you different.
South Park The Fractured But Whole verschijnt 6 december voor de pc, PlayStation 4 en Xbox One.
