More info about everyone's favorite barbarian in a loincloth in this video update about Nihilistic Studios' Conan the Barbarian (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii) and it's about the inspiration behind the game, as well as the combat mechanics. We get you knee-deep into the bloody and brutal lore of the sword-swinging, skull-breaking Cimmerian.

In this video interview, we find out that the guys behind the game really took Robert E. Howard's vision of how Conan fights seriously - and as we can see from this video and the many others we've covered, things are looking not only to be reassuringly bloody, but also visceral. We see enemies having their heads stomped off, their torsos ripped in half, their bodies broken and battered beyond recognition - in short, Conan's doing what he does best.

Tons more info in the video embed below - you know what to do! Enjoy!

Also I noticed that judging by the buttons commands that it ask for that they were using a PS3 for this demo. That's cool. Usually they use a 360 or PC for these demos glad to see a developer showcasing their game on a PS3. The game does look pretty hot and you can definitely see the effect that God of War has had on the industry. Can't wait.
