Conan dev sorry for 'unintentionally' shrinking breasts (News)

Jun 3, 2008

Ages of Conan developer Funcom has apologised for erm, accidentally reducing the breast size of all of the female characters in its MMO.

The apology comes after many Age of Conan users spotted the breast reduction on their female game characters and complained on the official forums, even providing photo evidence of the boob job.

"Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed," the company said in a statement. "This is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph values associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts.

Oct 23, 2007 Ah, the age of Conan. A time when men were men, women were all gagging for it and evil sorcerers were busy ruining everyones fun with their nefarious machinations. Welcome to Hyboria; better have an oiled blade and a bumper box of elastoplasts at the ready... because youre sure as hell gonna need them. For starters, well come out like the Conasexuals we are and declare our undying love for all things Cimmerian. This king of the barbarians is one mighty piece of property. Hes a ...

Sep 28, 2007

Conan for the PS3 and 360 has released in Europe. There was talk that the game was delayed until early next year, but instead the game is on store shelves from today, 28th September in Europe.

There are no reviews, and it's released in the week of Halo 3 - begging the question, how is this going to sell with little to no hype?

The reviews will arrive next week, and although a date for release in America is unknown, it's believed that it will be out sometime next month. Furthermore, there will be a demo timed with the release in America, sometime in October.

Conan Goresplosion! Part 4 (Feature)

Sep 19, 2007

Sept 19, 2007 Over the past few weeks, we've shown you all kinds of bloody horror that Conan the Barbarian can unleash on pirates, bandits and assorted ancient-world thugs in his self-titled slash 'em-up, due to hit stores this October. You've seen what he's capable of when he's wielding a small, ordinary sword, a pair of swords and a really, really big sword. But the true measure of a rampaging badass isn't what he can do when he's holding a sharp chunk of metal. It's whether or not he can ...

Conan The Barbarian will slaughter two weeks later on Playstation 3 (News)

Sep 17, 2007

THQ recently revealed it is moving its hack-and-slash title Conan The Barbarian from October to an end of September release. The game developed by Nihilistic is slated to hit stores in America and Europe on September 29. This, however, only accounts for the Xbox 360 version, as THQ today revealed in its newest release schedule that the Playstation 3 version will hit stores on October 12, in both the US and Europe.

A specific reason for the short delayment was not given. This however is not the first time the Playstation 3 version of a multiplatform game hits later than the other versions. THQ's Juiced 2 will hit stores in October on PS3 and PSP, where the Xbox 360, PS2 and NDS versions will hit stores next week.

Conan Goresplosion! Part 3 (Feature)

Sep 12, 2007

Sept 12, 2007 Can Conan the Barbarian still resonate with today's gamers? The minds over at publisher THQ certainly seem to think so, as they're rolling out the 75-year-old license this October in the simply-named Conan - a barrel-chested, hyper-manly slash 'em-up that completely ignores the silly Schwarzenegger movies and rips its inspiration, bleeding and raw, from the original novels by Robert E. Howard. Voiced by Ron Perlman and scripted by Susan O'Connor (who also wrote the script for ...

Eurogamer: THQ pulls Conan into Sept (News)

Sep 12, 2007

THQ has brought the release dates of Conan and Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts forward to 28th September. Conan is the gory and adult-themed hackandslasher for 360 and PS3, created by developer Nihilistic Software.

You play as the beefed-up barbarian of Robert E. Howard's imagination, and go around chopping limbs off and battling mythical beasts using all sorts of button-mashing mayhem. It was down for release in 2008 just over a month ago, before the publisher's dwindling financial results saw it pulled forward first to October, and now even sooner.

Conan Goresplosion! Part 2 (Feature)

Sep 5, 2007

Sept 5, 2007 Conan the Barbarian's gruesome, self-titled comeback is lumbering into stores this October, and it's easily one of the most visceral games we've ever played. Bloodier and more savage than God of War (and yet oddly similar, from a gameplay standpoint), Conan keeps the blood spurting at a steady clip throughout his pirate-crushing, monster-skewering romp through the ancient world of Hyboria. Severing limbs, chopping enemies in half and ripping out intestines with his bare hands, ...

Conan Goresplosion! (Feature)

Aug 29, 2007

Aug 29, 2007 Forget everything you might have seen in '80s movies and crappy cartoons - nobody, but nobody batters and chops his way through a gore-soaked adventure quite like Conan the Barbarian. Kratos and Nariko might have swords on chains, but Conan breaks men's backs with his bare hands. For fun. While simultaneously having drunken sex with three chicks in jeweled loincloths. That's just the kind of guy he is. The hard-drinking, hard-loving murder machine returns to videogames this ...

Conan - updated impressions (Preview)

Jul 2, 2007

Are you ready to pump? Thats the question you need to ask yourself if you want to mix it up with Conan and the muscular creations of the Hyborian age. Though not based on the Arnie movies from the eighties, this more authentic-feeling game does pack in the meat. Entirely based on the pulp books written by Robert E. Howard, Conan was always on the darker side of fantasy fiction; a character driven by greed and ambition over any righteous desire to save the ...

Conan (Preview)

May 4, 2007

Aside from the odd flicker of graphical dodginess (to be forgiven in such a massive, not-finished MMORPG world), the only current flaw we could locate in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures was that you wouldn't be able to play as Conan himself. Luckily, the 75th anniversary of the publication of his very first adventure has inspired a whole heap of barbarous activity, so it looks likely that THQ's far more straightforward hack-'n'-slash adventure will fill the gap ...

Conan - blood soaked first look (Preview)

Mar 2, 2007

"Ahnuld" Schwarzenegger is not Conan the Barbarian. Never has been. His fighting isn't as brutal or dirty as the real Conan's. He doesn't chug as much alcohol as much as the real Conan. And with all respect to Mrs Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, we're quite sure the Governator doesn't spend as much time banging the bed's headboard into the wall as would the real ...
