That's because it uses Gobliins 2 as its base.

Hardly matters because the South Park game they ended up making in the end was still a piece of garbage. Prob. short dev time.

 Mon Jan 09 16:16:26 +0000 2017

Really, I'd like to know how long it took them to make that South Park fps, and why they decided to quickly cash in on SP.

It was 97. That's when the game was published. No idea when they actually made that intro (96?)

I could almost swear the animation at the end is motion captured, but then I remember that it was a bunch of Russians w/o $$
