For a licensed game, Conan looks absolutely badass.

I was totally not even thinking about this game. At all. Then I saw this. Looks like Nihilistic is really trying to deliver the goods. As a huge fan of both God of War (which, by the developer's own admission this game takes after) and the Conan license, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Cautiously optimistic, but damn if it doesn't look frigging awesome. There's also an official trailer floating around somewhere on the internets, I'll try to find it and link it in here.

So, what are your thoughts? Yea? Nay? Indifferent?

I hate the theme of muscular half naked men.

I'll get this game ONLY if Arnold Schwarzenegger does the voice acting.

or at least someone that imitates Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Given recent events with Shwarzenegger, I don't see that happening. :P

I am looking forward to Conan. I have a thing for Frank Frazetta and it seems that they incorporated his art style into it. With the exception of the game being completely broken, I am most likely getting it.

Isn't Conan a MMO? So does that mean that it's online only? If so, I don't know about that. I guess I'll pass.

I think a story-driven, single-player Conan game would've been better, basically like Oblivion but with Conan. A MMO seems odd to me especially for a iconic character like Conan.

There is an MMO for Conan but there is also an action adventure Conan coming out, too.

Based on the preview and one gameplay movie I watched, it seems like quality stuff. I hope a demo is released.

Looks solid. Although when the one dev says that the best thing about the combat is "the gore".. that kinda sent a shiver down my spine.

The XBox-Game had Arnie´s German Voice...and was cut here :x well,the first game was really ok (wrote a review too) so there is potential.The first video I saw of the new one had only one really well animated thing: Blood.Really well animated! But it will be cut out in the German version anyway or it won´t come out...I´m movingto another coutry...:(

I am Conan. I serve no man.

That line made me laugh, with that voice actor, cuz it rhymes. Sif Conan should rhyme.>_>

Anyway, i'm not *entirely* sold on the game, it does look like it has a lot of potential to be something epic, but I mean, just look at the Heavenly Sword game, as great as it was - it was far too short! Six hours is nothing, and to be frank, that is a pretty weak effort - who wants to pay $100 for a game you can easily knock off in a day? Regardless of how good it looks, and Conan does look good - the combat system looks great and I like the fact that you have no inventory (Conan doesn't exactly have a backpack to store spare halberds in >_>), it needs to have a large amount of content. And if it does, and the combat is as good as it looks, I might give it a try.

No Arnie for the voice, is all I ask. He doesn't do Conan Justice...Conan was more Celtic than Germanic. Ron Perlman can do it just fine.
