You have an ultimate attacked connected to your class, but each buddy has a distinct ultimate that triggers a big cutscene mid-battle when you choose to you use it. Schroeder describes them as something similar to limit breaks in Final Fantasy VII. There is a shared pool of points that charge over the course of a battle as you dish out and take damage, and when it maxes out, you can pick an ultimate to use. If you play well, maybe you can get two,” says director of design Paul Cross. “We always refer to our ultimates as Titanfall. Coon & Friends episodes of the showĮach buddy also has an ultimate attack with can be used in combat. The full group pictured from the Coon vs. In Fractured, the team wants the buddies to be more active and present throughout. A lot of the stuff that was the most compelling in Stick tended to be just the things you could do by yourself,” Schroeder says. “We’re trying to get it a little more in the natural exploration. When you come across one of these locations, as long as you have completed the requirements for adding a particular buddy to your party, they will come calling as you need them without the need to rifle through menus or try out different buddies on different interactive elements. We’ve seen other heroes in assorted cutscenes, but these are ones we know will appear in your party, help you fight and navigate the environment, and be defined as buddies.Įach buddy has a power, which you can activate in certain locations in order to find hidden items, or complete sidequests. We don’t know the full list of buddies yet, but we do know Scott Malkinson as Captain Diabetes, Kyle as The Human Kite, Stan as Toolshed, Cartman as The Coon, Craig as Super Craig, Tweak as Wonder Tweak, and Jimmy as Fast Pass will all be buddies in the game. This time around, there are 12 buddies, as opposed to Stick’s six. The simplest way that the buddy's role is being increased is in sheer numbers. “We wanted to get more of the buddies voices and their powers in there,“ says senior producer Jason Schroeder.
Buddies were also an important part of The Stick of Truth, but Ubisoft San Francisco is working to expand their roles for the sequel in a number of ways. They are your combat party, they move the story along as you do your silent protagonist thing, and they help you explore the environment. Buddies are an important part of South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
