Age of Conan - this game will blow everything thats available now away
 

?Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures?, winner of multiple E3 awards as the best game in its genre and one of the most anticipated PC games in development, is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO) where a mix of a story-driven single-player experience and a brutal and intense massively multiplayer game brings forth the ultimate representation of the Age of Conan. Now you can enter the brutal domain of the world?s greatest fantasy hero.

In Conan the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan?s rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils.

In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurks around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan?s reign. In the true vision of Robert E. Howard?s dark universe it?s now time for you to become a messenger of death.

* Explore Hyboria, the legendary world of Conan, presented in incredible graphics and sound. A gigantic world awaits you.
* Emerge as a hero from the first hours of the game, where you are served a mix of single-player experiences and cooperative multiplayer experiences, before stepping into the massive online world. The stories found within Age of Conan is created by the award-winning writers behind The Longest Journey, Dreamfall and Anarchy Online so expect a rare treat.
* Experience Funcom?s revolutionary ?Real Combat? engine. A new multi-point melee system allows the players to swing their weapons where they direct it, in real-time, going head-on against the formulaic nature of online RPG combat.
* Create player-made battle formations, and command both NPC?s and other players in epic multiplayer battles.
* Build your own player city and watch it flourish as your guild expands.
* Form guilds and lay siege to hostile castles. Let the catapults sing their merry song of death as the enemy is brutally crushed to a pulp.

80 meg trailer:

I can't wait for this game to come out.

Sounds the first game to rival the gayness of World of Warcraft. If they play their cards right, they just edge it out as all time gay #1.

I wish they didn't push it back til March though, it does sound like it's going to be cool as hell. I hope there's some open beta or stress test invites going out before the end of the year - I'm not sure if I have enough console games to make it hah. :(

You can sign up for the beta. I know i did.

I'm awaiting it's release to find the answer to this...that is the only reason.

MMO=GAY:rainfro (no rainbows for ya so here is the almighty rainfro). Still just as gay.

Another game that will suck the life out of people. :)

Yah I've signed up when the form first went up, but lord knows when they'll actually send out invites. :(

sad that they recently delayed it till march 2008, means no real beta until january.... there's some alpha testors in there now, but invite only

Yeah it was already delayed once, maybe more. Funcoms first MMO launch went extremely shitty though so looks like they are trying to be prepared this time around.

They actually let the first beta testers in recently. But as more than 100k people signup chances you will be picked are really small. Im trying to see if someone is selling a beta invite but no luck so far.

well its delayed because of gamers vs vista

Can I slay Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7?

Now even more people will be stuck to the computer for hours on end . . . uh oh . . .

Is there trailer on youtube or similar site?

That is one of the gayest things I've heard today...you're willing to buy a beta invite??? You must be really busy not having a life.

Warhammer will own age of connan

Age got pushes back because everyone said their combat system and game in general sucked balls

Sounds boring.

Will you be able to fuck hookers?

Sounds like an amazing game!! i'll probably be hooked

only Warhammer will come close

AoC isnt that good at all, im in beta

downloading trailer now... that pic does look brutal. COOL! :)

what's with all the MMO games? it sounds like something only complete nerds/geeks would be into.... spending a whole day in an imaginary world collecting gold + weapons, fighting dragons, etc, doesn't seem like fun for some reason...

I can't believe a normal grown men would be into that shit...

i'm not impressed with the graphics and special effects. It reminds me of Middle Earth online. Wasnt too impressed with that one neither.

Warhammer? maybe.

They better have a hack to let you play as Conan O'Brien

They aren't...you hit the nail on the head.

this game will crash and burn

WarHammer Online FTW

What exactly isnt good. Tell me some more.

Im far from a nerd or geek and hardly play any games. Im now playing Lord of the Rings and i spend a lot of time on it as i really love the environment and being able to walk in the lotr world. Everyone few years there are just 1 or 2 games i install and play. Usually none of them survive on my drive longer than a week. Conan is just something im really looking forward to because i like lotr i like the world of Conan. The movies and the comics were something i enjoyed a lot when i was younger.

it always has to be some fantasy dungeons and dragons shit, why cant they make a GTA like online game, you know just like real life, present time shit... once they do that maybe i would give one of those online games a try
