The highly anticipated trailer for the upcoming South Park video game, Snow Day, has been released, showcasing its gameplay in more detail. However, the game’s 3D graphics have sparked mixed reactions among fans.
Scheduled to launch in 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, Snow Day takes a departure from the previous turn-based RPG format of South Park games. Instead, it offers a 3D co-op action experience, allowing players to utilize various weapons and special abilities to defeat enemies. The game also provides a solo option for those who prefer to play alone.
One significant change in Snow Day is its visual style. Unlike the traditional 2D animation reminiscent of the show, the game presents the South Park characters in 3D. While the majority of viewers on YouTube seem to be fine with or indifferent to the 3D graphics, some fans on Twitter have expressed disappointment, even calling it a “big mistake.” Comparisons have also been drawn to the previous 3D South Park game released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998.
Despite the mixed reactions, many fans are still excited about the game and eager to play another South Park installment, regardless of the graphical style. They remain confident that Snow Day will deliver an enjoyable gaming experience.
Although Snow Day’s gameplay differs from the RPGs, it appears to be a continuation of the series, as the characters are seen wearing their fantasy-themed attire from The Stick Of Truth. Players once again assume the role of The New Kid, the protagonist from the RPGs, and have the freedom to fully customize their character with various cosmetic options.
