Can't access the video at work. Is this the MMORPG coming to PC and 360? Or is there a different Conan game on the horizon?

 

[EricDiesel]

We have absolutely no idea if this game isn't going to BE a good game that will add inovation.

Judging by the ameteurish visuals and blatant ripoff gameplay, I'd say it's a safe bet this developer is not going to win any awards. I think it's safe to assume it'll be a bad game.

Conan > Kratos

Sorry Fellas When I Saw The Limbs Flying & Dis-embowelment I Kinda Nutted On Myself....
This Game Is Ape-ing GOW Steez Hard Though....

 

[Thoren]

BUT FRIENDS..

WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?

This game looks EPICLY BRUTAL

I'm really excited for this game. Conan is like a bigger, more bad ass version of the kinda wussy Kratos. Honestly, this game looks totally brutal.

 

[Phoenix Fang]

In before God of War rip o... Oh wait.

I find it funny that the game that has the most financial success is the one deemed the original.

GoW is derivative of Rygar. Rygar is derivative of Onimusha. (When it comes to the 3D adventuring and such on the PS2)

Bringing Devil May Cry (And Onimusha to a certain extent) into this is kind of pointless as Rygar came out a month or so after Devil May Cry. They were probably in development at the same exact time. When it comes to core gameplay, there's also the little fact that Rygar and GoW have MANY more similarities than any of the other games.

Another interesting little morsel is that Jaffe has never mentioned once that he was obviously influenced by Rygar.

Most of the games we love are rip offs of others.

Get over it.

Please stop making sense. Fanboys can't use the reasoning and logic factor that God bestowed upon us. No matter what you say it will go over their head and they will entirely miss the point.

With that said, I personally think that God of War is a crappy over hyped series made for mainstream gamer who just wants to sit around pushing one button that does the majority of the work for them. I'll be skipping Conan because judging by the videos it doesn't look like it will have the depth of DMC or NG. I don't like action games that require me to mash buttons left and right. It is also the same reason why I will probably be skipping over Too Human simply because of the control scheme.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Honestly, I'd rather have a new Strider in the same vein as Devil May Cry or even Shinobi than an original Conan game...

But as I'm sure you can tell by my avatar, I'm biased

 

[pcostabel]

I'm very intrigued by this game. Conan is the archetypal action hero, and this game seems to capture the Frazetta/Buscema Conan fairy well. If it plays as well as God of War, it's a definite must buy.
The blatant ripoff of GoW is a bit unnerving, especially the open door/chest animations, but I can live with it. Some of the effects like the waterfall look really ugly, but overall I like the art style, and the half naked girl at the end is a nice touch to put you in the Conan universe.
Looking forward to this.

Theres a new game play video up at Game Videos

Man, this game looks totally brutal. Honestly, he chops people in half, breaks backs, bosses women around, etc. We need to stop pussy footing around in our current genres, and embrace our ass kicking, women having, duke nukem and contra roots.

I'm waiting for you Conan.

 

[No_Style]

Hey Conan, Darksiders sent a fax.

Spoiler

I wanted to be different...

At least try to immitate God of War with a bit more effort.

"Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

I don't mind clones. I hope some of these clones try very hard to excel.

"Conan The Barbarian - Based on the Real Life Antics of Arnold Schwarzenegger"?

They casted Conan well for those movies.

Honestly, he's chopping off peoples arms and bathing in their blood!

Theres a chick with conan's life in her hands, and after being asked if he would ever serve a woman, his response is "Service her, yes." This demo has awesome written all over it.

What a badass.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Oh man that was completely shameless.
You could tell me it was coming out on PS2 and I would believe you. GOW2 looks much more impressive from even just a visual standpoint never mind that its a much better game. WTF was that ash / water looking crap that was coming out of the tigers mouth?

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Conan appears to be about as dense as Plutonium. Amazing how he can be tossed right through a building and get up without a mark on him or any other perceivable detriment at all.

Is Conan from planet Krypton perhaps? I remember the character being exceptionally strong and tough, but never this tough.

I have no idea about the references to GoW either, since I have yet to play the series. I'll get that for real cheap when I finally spring for a PS3 (which will be a long time coming), unless of course BC is dropped from the PS3 for some reason. Then I'm f**ked.

 

[Beef]

Why all the hate guys?

Its freaking conan, what do you expect? He's buff. He kills people. IMO, looks like a lot of fun.

 

[rezuth]

This game looks like ass. When is it coming out again? And its for 360/PS3? Eww, and I dont have anything against games that take elements from other games, because it helps 360 owners who don't have a PS2 or PS3 and can't play GoW.

This game is also for Wii if I recall correctly.

Yeah, my interest is actually piqued for the game. Maybe I'll get it on the cheap at some point.

The premise and concept is good, but the execution could be much improved.

wait.a.minute

What is the last videogame you played where the character took physical damage, other than his/her health bar going down

 

[Beef]

Absolutely, however, i cant remember the last time i got to play as a man beast and wreck people's shit with swords. Looks like a fun rental

I actually thought the voice acting was great, the actress's voice sounds very familiar and the execution of her lines are done really well. I really like Conan's cheesy-ness.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Dude, he didn't even appear to be phased by crashing through the wall. I would have thought he would have been dead, and there was no health bar either (at least none that I noticed). And this is next gen for crying out loud, we can't have some visual indication that his ass has been royally kicked?

He got up like he was the Son of Jor-El.

They couldn't have invested in an animation that made him look at least a bit stunned? Maybe it's simply because the game isn't finished. Who knows. Just seemed lame to me.

It is probably the most blatant ripoff I have ever seen.

It could turn out good, but the level of copying is unbelievable.

I wont lie...that is sort of lame...but then again, its Conan...that is how they will market it to me, that is how I will accept it, lol

I still expect the game to be decent...the gamespot live demo showed promise and some actual difficulty

 

[Beef]

Here's a picture of Conan to further everyone's excitement for this game:

 

[Thoren]

LET ME TELL YOU OF THE DAYS OF HIIIIGH ADVENTURE

new comic-con footage

[Tokubetsu]

I'm so pumped for this. Bout god damn time we got some Conan loving.

 

[soco]

it reminded me most of PoP, until it got to the dragon/serpent kinda thing.

what's up with the almost no textures? it's like someone had this genius idea of taking some random shapes and doing some pre-rendered bump-mapping on them and applied all 5 of those textures to everything.

 

[ParticleReality]

-The archers look like Kratos are they saying their gonna kick GOW's ass?

-How do I pick up a dude with two swords in my hand and throw him? Remember, the swords must NEVER leave the hand.

-How do I block fire?

-How do I jump really fruity in the air and throw fire?

-Why does that boss look like a one-headed Hydra and fight like him too?

-Hey look a lady with boobs...you don't get to have sex with her and her friend? LAME!

-Did they steal the "runes" outta Geometry Wars?

-Why does it look so bad and have so much slowdown while fighting?

-Why are all games just rip-offs of Clusters Revenge?

-Why are his eyes like Dantes where its just white with a black dot?

-How dare he have hair. Who does he think he is?

-Why the hell is the comic-con footage even worse? It has the GOW combo thing.

-The A.I. sucks.

-They keep showing off the wii version right?

-Oh and how dare that asshole walk. KRATOS DID THE BEFORE HIM!


I bet the gods give him powers like Lighting bolts and the power to turn monsters into rocks.

 

[Xekrn]

Why do I find this gameplay video is ****ing awesome except some slow down ?

A hack'n slash game with HDR/DOF/shadows and heads&arms flying left and right, that's the definition of FUN guys.

Maybe it's a GOW rip off or whatever but you know not everybody has played GOW before.
