By Crom! A demo version of Conan: the Dark Axe is now available, offering the chance to get your axe into gear and check out Cauldron's upcoming third-person action/adventure based on Robert E. Howard's fictional barbarian. The demo is a 130 MB download, available on 3D Gamers, ActionTrip, Adrenaline Vault, FileFront, Filerush, Gamer's Hell, Tiscali Games, and Worthplaying. Tiscali Games has picked up some details on the content:

David Durcak from Cauldron replied to our question about contents of the Conan demo, that it should be considered as beta-demo only (control system is not finished yet etc.). It contains 2 levels set to Kordava city at night and to one of the towers. This beta-demo will run only on graphics cards with Pixel shader 1.1 support (final version of game set for February will however work also on GeForce 4 MX or GeForce 2).

Absolutely right, Cygnus...but you gotta understand human nature here. The guys at the dev studio are probably kinda psyched about what they made, so they wanna show it to the world...even though it's an unpolished beta demo. Bad judgement, good idea, I'd say.
I've done the same thing with a model for JK2:JO...was so happy I actually made something, I wanted the world to see it...even though it was'nt properly tested. Took a revision or so to get it working properly.

Still, this shows real bad judgement on the publishers part...they shoulda demanded a more polished demo.
