South park fractured but whole pre order bonus
Mighty, mighty farts that are now able to rip apart the very fabric of time itself.
‘Time’ in South Park: The Fractured But Whole is all about farts. However, opponents can push and pull you around too. This extends to getting behind cover, pushing and pulling enemies (into props and other characters if you wish, for extra damage or attacks), and some powers can be fired over obstacles. Characters are no longer restricted to a single location, but can freely move (along a grid-lane pattern) to engage the foes of South Park, so you can re-position and tactically focus on who your hero needs to bring to justice first. The combat system is still going to be turn-based, but will work a little differently from The Stick of Truth, with ‘space’ and ‘time’ being the emphasis. Of course, every superhero needs a tragic backstory, and Cartman will be only too happy to provide the new kid with a truly harrowing life experience. You’re not locked down to a single class, and can mix and match powers from different types to create a unique superhero. Ubisoft’s E3 conference showed the Brutalist (a close-range brawler), the Blaster (think Cyclops from X-Men) and the Speedster (like The Flash). South Park: The Fractured But Whole will feature twelve superhero classes (each one with four powers, like, um, ‘The Brown Dwarf’) of which three are currently known. Cartman’s group (led by The Coon) are at war with Stan’s Freedom Pals over aborted franchise plans for a cinematic universe, pitting hero against hero in a titanic struggle for something or other. That means working your way up through the social ranks once again.
It continues straight on from the prior game so you’re still the new kid, but now nobody cares that you’re ‘king’ (or queen, you can play as a girl this time) of the fantasy setting. The Stick of Truth was a send-up of fantasy RPGs, but in South Park: The Fractured But Whole the kids of South Park are playing superheroes. Developer duties have switched from Obsidian to Ubisoft’s San Francisco studio.
