Age of Conan - hands-on
PC News | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Conan. The name stirs images of ludicrously-huge muscles, furry pants, giant swords and the Governor of California gurning like a champ. It's a world, and a character, with an instantly familiar atmosphere. It's perfect for an MMO - a genre that lives or dies on the appeal and magnetism of its world. Let's face it, you can't go far wrong with a land populated by bloodthirsty warriors, evil sorcerers and vampy, buxom ladies clad in little more than a lick of paint. Another natural thing to ... » Read More

It's time we lifted the veil just a little bit and introduced you to that part of Age of Conan as well. There are, after all, some really incredible dungeons in virtual Hyboria.

PC News | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
In the first installment in a planned series called "Letter from the Game Director," Funcom's Gaute Godager explains about the developer's goal to make its MMORPG Age of Conan savage and sexy. Kicking off talking about the savage side and providing a handy dictionary definition of "savage" so we don't have to go and look it up for ourselves, Godager says that the development team approached making the game "with brutality!" and continues with focus on how it's approaching combat, questing, ... » Read More

Age of Conan - best looking MMOG game world ever?
PC News | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
It's clear, after viewing the latest trailer from Funcom's Age of Conan, that the developer is pulling out all the stops to create one of the most visually impressive environments ever seen in the massively multiplayer online RPG genre. Just take a look at the movie, titled Eiglophian Mountains. Very nice, no? Of course, you'll need a super-spec PC to get the game running at this level of visual niceness, but hey we can still look on and go 'OOOooh.' April 2, ... » Read More

New Age of Conan footage
PC News | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Eidos is keen to show off the visuals of its DirectX 10-based action-RPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, on the way to PC and Xbox 360. This footage gives you a scenic fly-through of a town called Khemi - a dusty town near a stretch of water, in what the trailer proudly boasts to be "in-game" graphics. Although to be honest, apart from some nice water effects and a decent volume of buildings, we found it rather ... » Read More

Conan dev aiming for cross-platform MMOG-ing N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Conan dev aiming for cross-platform MMOG-ing Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures developer Funcom is aiming to support cross-platform adventuring between PC and Xbox 360 with its MMORPG.

Revealing that the developer is "toying around with many different solutions" to cross-platform action, Conan product manger Erling Ellingsen went on to explain possible options in an interview to be published shortly.

"...one is having some shared servers and some servers that are not shared - simply to give players the freedom of choice. What solution we actually do end up with is something we will have to reveal later".

"Age of Conan" Delayed till 2007 N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Along with the rather dull industry news that Eidos picked up publishing rights for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures comes more depressing word that Funcom is also pushing out the MMORPG until 2007.

Despite the fact that Funcom took the path of least resistance when taking Robert E. Howard's vivid but politically incorrect fantasy world and translating it to an MMORPG, I've been looking forward to this one. So bummer. But to take some of the depression off, it looks as if console versions of Age of Conan are planned... the 360 being the most strongly rumored contender.
