HEXUS.gaming :: New Age of Conan Trailer

I will crush my enemies, drive them before me and sip cocktails as I listen to the lamentation of their women…. :D

Is that really a “great advance”? Looks a bit like Oblivion but with worse vegetation and character animation. Distant detail looks better, if anything does, but if I were Microsoft I wouldn't be sending out videos like this as a demonstration of how fantastic DX10 graphics are. Where's the wow?

It's an MMO, they have never been known to spend a lot of time on intricacies… merely for the fact that it would take far too long to make a planet big enough. DX10 is amazing and we won't see a good representation of it until at least the end of the year with teh 2nd gen DX10 games.

Apparently, people who saw the video weren't that impressed, but there's still a lot to do with that particular game. Perhaps they should have waited until they had a better demonstration. It was Eidos not M/S who sent the video out.

They weren't allowing any hands on time with Conan at CES either.

Doesn't really excite me about DX10 at all. There's going to be plenty of bugs in it anyway (that's is, dx10) when it's first released.

Will be sticking with my x1950 till '08 at least, probably upgrade around september.
