I thought this was pretty cool and wanted to share it with you guys.
Basically, the South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker made a game titled South Park: The Stick Of Truth. The game is an RPG. The creators are big gaming fans so of course they drew inspiration from a few games, but can you guess which ones?
Their inspiration came from 3 main sources:
Paper Mario: Yep! Our beloved Paper Mario inspired the South Park guys! They loved the 2D/3D style of the Paper Mario games and used it as inspiration for their game. Turns out that they love the series!
The Legend of Zelda: They love this series and drew inspiration from Link. They loved the fact that he is a silent protagonist and wanted to model characters after him. They also love the fact that a hero can be a young child in a strange world.
Earthbound: Following off the theme of a child hero in a strange world. The creators of South Park especially have fond memories of this game. They loved the start where you leave your house and fight battles as a child and eventually things become crazy to the point of saving the world and possibly the universe.
I love South Park and I always knew the creators of the show were big gaming fans, but I had no idea they loved the exact same games as us and used these games as inspiration.
