Regardless of what you may or may not think of the South Park series, it cleverly takes real-life situations and pop culture references constantly reinvigorating with each new season. So what if someone tried to replicate South Park’s signature humour and writing, surely nothing could go wrong, right?
For starters, the animations are so bad, that it arguably puts theSouth Parkvideo game that was originally released for theNintendo64 in 1998 to shame. Like seriously, there’s something unnervingly possessed-like about Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny and Butters in the TikTok recreations.
Then we have the dialogue to speak of. It’s almost as if random lines from the series have been selected and stapled together. Thinking about it, perhaps that’s not too far removed from what’s actually happened here.

No doubt AI technology is fast advancing and has come a long way. However, perhaps when it comes to iconic properties such as South Park, maybe it’s best left to the experts. That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trey Parker and Matt Stone create an episode dedicated to thisTikTokmonstrosity.
In related news,back in 2021, it was announced that a new 3D South Park game is in development. Sadly since that time, it’s been quiet on the news front. Hopefully, we’ll get an official update this year.
At least for now, we can play the two fantastic South Park RPG games,The Stick of TruthandThe Fractured but Wholeavailable for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
