Age of Conan Trailer

[CptStern]

k most of you wont watch it out of sheer stubborness but for the few that do ..here's the e3 trailer ..remember this is based on the pre-beta build ..while the backgrounds are highly detailed the animation movements are still a bit stiff ..but there's some great combat scenes ..even a very nicely implemented decapitation ..the game is shaping up nicely and is easily the most detailed MMO graphics to date

the hi-rez (1280x720) version is worth the dl

here's something to whet your appetite

looks pretty hawt for an mmo game, combat looks satisfyingly brutal.

[CptStern]

ya and it's all real time combat ..no clicking of buttons to watch animations like in wow ..it's all player controlled like in Oblivion but with more moves

[Sainku]

Looks pretty good, even though I dislike the conan universe.

[Nid Banikeri]

I'm defintly keep an eye on this it really is starting to look good...but with Warhammer online coming out sometime in the future too...

Decisions Decisions :hmph:

have you read the Robert E Howard novels? dont go by the horrible movies because Conan is nothing like that

[Raxxman]

Looks like it's really shaping up nicely

[jimbo118]

this type of universe looks more my thing tbh, wow's universe didnt interest me much, too fairytaley or sumit, from a personal POV this would interest me more.

I haven't, from the little I saw of the movies and tv series I was scared to try one. Maybe I will pick one up when I am done with the books I am reading.

[CptStern]

yes, I dont blame you ..the tv series was absolutely horrible (thanks, I had forgotten about that, now I have to erase it from my mind again ;) ) ..and the first movie while not that bad wasnt really all that faithful to ReH's conan

here's some online Robert E Howard stories you can read

i like the combining of the melee moves into combos, not just click 'attack' button, Catapult lol FRIGGIN' SWEET!

[Warbie]

I refuse to watch it!

[DeusExMachina]

Age of Conan or Warhammer Online D:

Which will be the first MMO I decide to actually give a damn about!

[CptStern]

well Age of Conan has single player ..so that makes it easier to get into at your own pace ...plus AoC has real time combat + mounted combat + seige warfare + player built cities

warhammer has WoW like combat ....ya that's fun for a little while


;)


oh did I mention that it's geared towards adults? featuring blood, gore and even sex ..maybe even prostitutes :O

jack thompson will have a field day


I refuse to watch it!

watch it I say!

/me shakes fist at Warbie!
