Funcom's latest MMORPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will be shipping to stores in a matter of days, and it's an enormous project with a long list of features. |
Recently, News Manager Keith Cross had the opportunity to travel to San Francisco for a hands-on demonstration of Funcom's upcoming MMORPG, Age of Conan. The experience was under embargo until today, so today he files his report. |
Age of Conan brings you in to the dark brutal lands of Hyboria, where only the strong survive and only those who are worthy stand by Conan's side. The Age of Conan Limited Edition Keyset(Keyboard) for Zboard will help you slay your way to the top, leaving nothing but a trail of flesh and bone in your wake! |
Funcom has started accepting sign-ups for the beta test of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. "Get ready for the most savage, sexy and action-packed MMO ever created as Funcom and Eidos finally open the floodgates to the massive world of Conan. The official Age of Conan Beta sign-up starts today, giving thousands of pioneers a unique chance to play the groundbreaking MMO months before release!" |
After the incredible initial success for Age of Conan, a whole world of MMO players are eagerly anticipating the future plans for one of the most popular online games ever released. While Age of Conan has already evolved massively since launch, numerous expansive additions are yet to come. |
Funcom, a Norwegian based game developer company, sure know how to be different. Their first MMO project, "Anarchy Online", while had a bumpy start, grew a large fan base for being very deep and complex game. |
Even the most solitary pre-level 20 young warrior will eventually have to dive into Age of Conan's multiplayer mode in order to earn enough experience to progress in the main story line. |
SAN FRANCISCO--It wouldn't be the 2008 Game Developers Conference without games to show, and we took the opportunity to take an updated look at Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. |
Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will take a different tack by offering brutal real-time combat that will let you hack and slash your enemies into mincemeat. That's not an exaggeration--the game's extremely violent combat, which includes skewering enemies and lopping off limbs and heads, is in keeping with the source material from author Robert E. Howard, and will soon be available to try out in the GameSpot player-versus-player beta weekend. |
Server conditions, population activity, and numerous other conditions make testing MMORPGs difficult. We increased our usual test duration to three minutes and used FRAPs to measure frame rates to compensate for the variability of our test runs. |
