South Park: The Fractured But Whole was originally called South Park: The Butthole of Time

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker originally wanted to call South Park: The Fractured But Whole 'South Park: The Butthole of Time', but were forced to change it after being told that retailers wouldn't put the game on the shelf.

Fractured Butthole gets the message through as well xD

Oh now I get it.

Didn't spot the play there.

They certainly couldn't have called it a crack in time.

Shubhendu_Singh2831d ago

A Crack in time hasn't already been done by R&C iirc.

I'm glad they changed the name though. "Fractured but whole" is way waay more genius and funny.

ccgr2831d ago

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't get it at first...

rainslacker2830d ago

Don't feel bad, this is the first time I noticed too. Surprised no one has said anything about it by now....must mean others hadn't figured it out either.

Are you guys serious? You must have missed the reveal or anyone saying it out loud.

As Trey and Matt said themselves;

Actually Marvel wanted to name their Civil War movie 'Fractured but Whole'. But when Trey/Matt was forced to repick the name from Buttwhole of time, Marvel decided to not go against South Park and let them have this name.

True Story.

The name "Fractured But Whole" is one of the greatest play-on-words titles I've heard.

camel_toad2831d ago

That and GTA Cunning Stunts win this year in name.

exkalibur972831d ago

Relientk772831d ago

Null2831d ago

I just hope it actually comes out this year and it's not delayed again and again like the stick of truth

We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.

They said awhile ago that Ubisoft holds contract rights to the main flagship South Park games. So like stick, fractured and phone destroyer.

Snow Day was handled by THQ and Question and is a random spinoff. Hopefully Ubisoft is cooking something.

anast28d ago

That's one reason to be hopeful, but Ubi is trending down too.

Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.

The 7 Best South Park Games

The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?

cammers1995134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo

Best Superhero Video Games Available Right Now

From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
