Would anyone be interested in a TAS of this? For anyone who's played it, do you think it'd make a good TAS?

there's like 3 south park games on n64. I like south park rally, didn't like playing the chicken shooting game, but I'd watch it for sure.

I played it. Pretty silly game, but I don't remember it being fast. Maybe it would turn out as entertaining as the 007 runs, but I doubt it.

I rented this when it was new. I remember the difficulty ramping up to hellish levels toward the end, even though it's easy at first. Playing it recently, I beat the first two levels with a quasi-broken controller, without savestates... or even trying, really. So I could be wrong. The gameplay (IMO) lends itself to TASing very nicely. Without the limitation of human skill, a TASer could have theoretically maintain infinite dodgeball ammo from re-catching shots, which is hard to do in realtime. I'm also convinced from playing it again recently that the engine is rushed- it looks like Iguana pooped out a half-assed version of Turok for the sake of cashing in on the South Park license. There could be sequence breaks aplenty, but if not, I think it would still be solidly entertaining. It's a fun game.

I disagree with the "its a fun game" comment, only because i became quite bored quite quickly when playing through a few levels. However, with some sequence breaks being found, the run could turn out more entertaining than a real-time play through. I am gonna have to side on a meh for this future movie, but would watch wips/submissions and probably change my vote.

The best way to know if it's entertaining, do a WIP of the first two level, and show it. It would be easier than trying to remember this game that most people haven't played in the past 5-10 years.

I have this game... and was never able to complete it. The game is crazy hard towards the end. I don't know if the game is really suited for a TAS, but I would sure love to see a TAS of it!

I made a very sloppy demo of 1-1. It seems I should have slowed down to kill turkeys as I saw them, instead of getting ahead and waiting them catch up. I think you get a sense of why this could be entertaining.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was picturing; would something like that look good all the way through?
