If THQ’s next-gen action title, Conan , has one thing going for it, it’s the fact that it’s retarded bloody. Also, after looking at this video, it’s hard not to compare it to God of War ; that’s good company to be in.
Strike one? Unfortunately, the next-gen title manages to not look as good as God of War . Is it me or does Conan’s face look like a slab of handled, raw beef? Still, looks aren’t everything; and if the gameplay is solid, we could have a winner on our hands.
Strike two? The game is being developed by Nihilistic Software, whose only console projects have been the ill-fated Starcraft: Ghost and the terror on a DVD-ROM known as Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects .
While I’m sure you guys will think of strike three (and four through twenty) in the comments, I’m still going to give Conan a chance when it comes to the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 in 2008. As long as I don’t accidentally pick up the Funcom PC/360 MMORPG, Age of Conan , by mistake. Because, you know, that’s not confusing at all.
