I see. Well what I liked about 1982 Conan is that while it had action, violence and blood, it felt more emphasis on the journey and the story along the way, as well as how it was paced.
The 2011 felt more like the emphasis on action, violence and blood. As in they figured that's what we're here to watch. And to be honest I was grossed out at the scene with the severed nose. The story was a bit confusing because the pace of it was forward and honestly can't remember most of it.
Ever seen the movie Wolfhound? Some have complimented it as a movie that takes the best elements of 1982 Conan the Barbarian and Lord of the Rings. So perhaps a modern movie like that is what GoldenAxe should strive for.
Yes. Wolfhound is good. When we play Golden Axe, it does feel like of Hollywood cult classics like Conan The Barbarian, Red Sonja, and The Beastmaster so Wolfhound-like is definitely a fit.
From
the creator :
My father loved action movies and I used to watch them with him,” Uchida tells us. “During the development of Golden Axe, I rented a video of Conan and watched until the tape was worn… Of course I was also inspired by Lord Of The Rings. I bought many illustration works based on Middle-Earth and used them as reference materials. If I could, I would vote Gandalf for president!”
The thing is Hollywood is known to ruin game adaptation. We could instead get the "Beast Rider" version for the movie, not the classic one.
