Xbox 360 PS3

THQ and Nihilistic Software present Conan (the action game, not the MMO), with a full bunch of screenshots showing a rather bad looking and cool game in the same time. Maybe a follower for the title of the first next-gn God of War-like?

Good Concept but bad screens. Let's hope they'll release a gameplay video showing the combat soon cauz I really am intrested in this game just because it's an action adventure one!

The "Seamonster" looks really cool ! I think this game will be quite cool...but the visuals dont look good at all, but who cares...its Conan =]!

Definitely a God of War template at work here, but there are certainly worse role models to aspire to. :)

I hate Conan so much, I don't know what is it that makes the franchise to great anyway. Some buffed up caveman becoming a warrior with long hair.

Could turn out to be very interesting, but those screens look very terribly early-development phase, and their Conan model looks more like a Tarzan.

Nice to see the UNLIMITED power of the PS3 harnessed for such photorealistic graphics.

No, seriously. Only 6 moths ago everybody was expecting every PS3 game to simply blow the 360 away and here we are looking at conan, spiderman and a whole number of other games that look like complete ass.

I guess you haven't read the classic comic book series or the recent series by Kurt Busiek?

Nor has he read the original REH books or seen the first Conan movie with Arnie.

Conan is the one and only barbarian. Crom!

Was it necessary to turn Conan into an ape? Pathetic. Just pathetic. People who churn out models like these should've chosen some other career... you know, like Hitler did when he couldn't get into art school.

This game looks truly awful. Hopefully it doesn't look nearly this bad in full motion. Do they think bloodiness is the only reason people like God of War? Jeez, get some paper towel.

Also, it looks like they're using bold comic book outlines on all the characters. Are they putting Conan in Crackdown 2?

we can say the same about 360 graphics looking like ass in this case then seeing as its on both platforms.
Good devs can produce great stuff on the PS3 and we've already seen it. Devs like Nihilistic who's history has involved what...a mediocre RPG based on the White Wolf Vamp franchise and a mediocre fighter based on Marvel characters....they're hardly indicative of the PS3, anymore than...oh...some of the crappy looking games that have come out on the 360

Hmm... lemme shorten this down a little about this game: 1. S**ty graphics, 2. Poor shading, 3. Blood is very low detailed, 4. I just don't like it.

noxian: Well duh. I meant it's heart-warming to see that the new Messiah otherwise known as the PS3 doesnt magically turn turd into chocolate cake, as the fans would believe.

It's just a machine at the mercy of developers, not a crying cyborg baby, skynet, limitless powers etc utter BS sony keeps dishing out one PR release after another. People in the PAL region still believe all that BS because they havent seen the real thing.

Conan is the real thing and it will pee right in their eyes.
