  • best looking mmo yet.

  • super bump map 0_0

  • Having played Conan for years,Skyrim is a big disappointment, in terms of graphics.. I expected to be impressed, but not at all. Conan is gorgeous because it didnt have to pander to the crappy console graphics and control system Skyrim did. Whats the point of building a great computer when every game is optimized for xbox?

  • This game is free? and when this new render sever are goint to be?

  • I can confirm you __still__ need a super-computer to run this game.

  • 1:36 what is cthulhu doing there ? O.o

  • The most beautiful, violent, mature MMO in online heroic-fantasy ! Still some bugs, but a great tribute to R.Howard creations ! A breath of fresh barbarian blood !

  • Yeah i myself will be going back in. I heard lots of players are getting on it.

  • This game is GREAT now, and with the new hardcore server launching tomorrow, look for AoC to be the Best MMO of 2011.

  • free to play is gonna suck look at the restriction and u wil see

  • @hovsep56 >complaining about a free game

    gtfo

  • Soon free to play <3

  • I keep on wanting to come back to this game, I just can't afford it ATM...

  • New rig, time to re-sub! :D

  • 1:05 holy shit!

  • Also just resubscribed. Having tons of fun and the game looks amazing.

  • Great idea since many comps were on the verge of being compatible. These type of fixes separate conan from other mmos.

  • looks like i must try this game ;)

  • Now, please change the UI, it still looks terrible.

  • looks pretty cool

  • The parallax mapping is destroyed -_- ( google age of conan dx10 and look at the image showing a character at a campfire.. and look at the ground. ITS GONE) And so are the epic waves in the water in Tortage Night!

  • People should really forget about the launch days and go back and play. Games like RIFT are just like WoW atleast AOC has a different feel to it and has stuck true to its own. I stopped playing about a year ago, but not cause of the game, it had improved so much even back then.

    I'm going to start playing again soon.

  • im gonna buy the game,its worth playing now :)

  • dead game, too many new games coming out.

  • 2 bad the game is fucking dead

  • High resolution textures still missing, especially on the character models, ugh.

    As bad as it was (although it's been steadily improving over the last few months), FFXIV has the best character models and animations I've ever seen in an MMORPG to date. The only problem with FFXIV is that, well, SSAO is completely bugged and there's draw distance problems, copy/paste issues and the complete lack of any sort of environmental dynamic shadows.

    But hey, this is about AoC, not FFXIV.

    Might go back..

  • Fkn Chinese game. What are they thinking ??!!

  • I played this MMO for a year. It was great, I loved every minute of it and I miss it very much, but I don't have the money to continue playing. :( One of the best mmos our there, truly.

  • The new AoC-grafic is the best any MMO has to offer.

    If I wouldn't play it myself I wouldn't belief that this beautiful world really is fully explorable and interactive.

    And the atmospheric soundtrack in the background...

  • I played AoC about a year and a half ago on DX9 and I LOVED the graphics and music in the game so much! I am really glad AoC is still improving their graphics and performance, especially since I will be able to experience the new effects (Godrays) in DX9.

    This is perhaps the only MMO in which I actually enjoyed gathering resources. This is because the graphics were so wonderful that I just couldn't stop appreciating them, especially in Poitain.

    Thx Funcom, keep it up! I'll come back someday.

  • i start playing on release, gave up on october 2008, start again april 2009 until october/november 2010, gona give it another try when Hardcore pvp server comes out, FC PLEASE dont make me give up once for all, :D

  • the ONLY thing that keeps me from playing aoc is faction grinding, once the blood and glory server comes out, i MIGHT return... not sure though..

    the faction grinding is just insanely difficult and time consuming and just not fun

  • this game is amazing ,it have everything anygamer would want in it ...but the reason i left it is because the servers are empty and and they really really have to merge them .

  • @spimuch they are merged, long time ago. I dont have that problem anymore, but can remember it was in 2008.

  • Thank You for not giving up on AoC!

  • @PCgamerkidd They may have not... but I did months ago.

  • I've found this game to be the most immersive online world I've ever explored. Looks and sounds amazing.

  • Eh, I think I'll give this another try.

  • what is WoWs engine called then? slowpoke?

  • Vanilla AoC is a great game now. I left because of the insane korean style grind the expansion introduced. I will reactivate my account if they soften it with 1500-2000 non-repeatable quests, great storylines, new PvP system. All dungeons are awesome. No other MMO is worth a mature player's time so I only play single player games nowdays.

  • AOC is all about graphics. Looks beatuiful really. But it lacks variation. An mmo DOES NOT succeed without sufficient variation.

  • same shit diferent box. this game dont have colors. lol

  • I been playing AoC on and off for a year. Very enjoyable as a online PvE Conan action RPG.Too bad this video doesn't show any combat or fatalities.Can you imagine loping off heads and limbs using your broadsword with graphics like this? It's pretty exciting and no other game I have seen offers anything like it. Then there is the Conan lore which is cool. If your rig runs it, the game is stunning. Check out the free trial lvl 1-20 unlimited play. If you like it you will like lvl 20-80 as well.

  • 2 Years later? can you say "I missed the boat" Sorry 3 years!

  • 2 Years later? can you say "I missed the boat"

  • i played this game since closed beta, despite the instability i fell in love with the it and after 2 years away i look forward to reactivating my account once i get my rig back :D those who have any brains i look forward to seeing you soon!!!!

  • Why did this game fail?

  • @BeeblesTV after lvl 20 the game lost its feeling of a good story and became a grind to max level, grinding games gets old fast, also the keep warfare was buigged as hell, a few people could wipe out an entire player city...

    Wish they would go free to play, it might revive this game.

  • @lordpatrice Well it sure is pretty.

  • I love how this is supposed to be a tech-demo and it still feels like it is micro-lagging as soon as the character moves... Wtf is this?

  • FXAA sucks ass, besides blurring the textures, i barely notice any diference in edge smoothness, too much jaggies still and to be honest not worth the extra quality reduction.

  • This looks awsome!

  • Great to see a great game doing great! See you in AoC!

  • i looooove AOC !

  • Since when does pretty = good gameplay? AOC is still a horrible game no matter what render engine you use.

  • @salgurdar go and play your boring noob Minecraft..

    AOC is Epic

  • @weissraider sorry, I gave AoC 2 chances, first with their closed beta and live, then a year or so after release. The game was terrible at release and it was terrible when I went back to it. I guarantee more people play Minecraft than AoC. ;)

  • @weissraider Minecraft is amazing...don't insult it till you've tried it.

    If you don't like it, you probably don't have much imagination.

    I will say, though...

    I agree with you about AoC. It's a great game with a horrible community. Better graphics are just icing on the cake.

  • @salgurdar I don't recall anyone ever saying such a thing, but nice straw man.

  • @evilyig Back to school and learn what a strawman is!

  • @salgurdar

    you don`t know what you`re talking about

  • @noseman11 Ah, pretty sure I do. AoC is fail, and it's reflected in it's terrible subscriber rate. Cheers tho 8)

  • Very nice Funcom, you can can do nice work.

    -

  • Make a new MMO with this engine.. MAke it fun..Make it BIG.. Make it open . Make it have a very good fun crafting system. Make it open world PvP. Big battle in open world zones

    and most important. DONT SCREW UP THE LAUNCH.. you only get once chance.

    I played Age of Conan at launch.. you fukked up.. you betrayed me. I never look back

  • @razorlord2 FC you betraded me as well, give my money back for two accounts!! There is nothing you can do to make me go back.

  • This game will always be plagued by it's launch even though it's far more polished now. MMO's lives and deaths are determined by their first impressions and AoC showed up on that first date wearing a t shirt, hit on your sister and the waitress, made you buy the dinner and drinks, then puked in your car and didn't clean it. Just cause it's now dressed properly, shaved and finally got a job, most will never take it for a spin again. Sorry AoC, Rift is the new hotness and they didn't screw it up.

  • @nogaard777

    wow that's just the perfect way of describing it

  • @nogaard777 Rift is standard nap mmo which gameplay is same like WoW and Rift has the worst Performance ive ver seen. On mid max or ultra only 7-15 fps. I can play aoc with all on high with 50+fps omfg

  • @David281190 If you get the same fps regardless of settings in Rift and AoC runs 5x+ faster you either have HUGE issues with your machine or you're straight up lying. If your pc is ghetto enough that you can't top 15 fps on mid settings in Rift you aren't even approaching 50fps in AoC on high. I call fanboism optimization. You obviously missed my whole point in the first place. AoC is not a bad game. FC ruined it's chances of being truly great by releasing a build that barely qualified as beta.

  • @nogaard777 Nope. It must be a HUGE problem with their engine and coding. Rift could run so much better, trust me. And im not a fanboy. My PC is allright. Its the engine.

  • @David281190 Then it's your setup + their engine = suck. I have zero issues on 3 different machines, one being a 2 year old laptop. Are you rocking ATI or nVidia? Mine are all nVidia and apparently the gamebryo engine hates ATI cards but if you can hit 50fps in AoC at max settings you still should be far beyond playable in Rift.

  • cool...now they should work on GAMEPLAY >.>

  • Fuck Conan. When the hell am I getting a new AO engine >_<!

  • Gotta love the floating guys at 1.05... :P

  • Brilliant, nicely done guys!

  • To late funcom, Rift is in my life now lol

  • did they remove shrines? did they remake minis maybe? this is a very unfair game...

  • Good job! Reactivating my account as we speak! :D <3

  • Ive played this game Nearly since release. And the game received a lot of complains some months after the release. But Funcom did not giving up the game and still working to improve the "bugs". And they still working to improve it. And now they have improved the game so much that it makes me sad to hear players who tried the game on 21 may 2008 still condemned the game as  " unfinished". The game is now worth a new start.

    Welcome to those who dear. And thank you Funcom for not letting us down

  • @brauta88 yeah I know I bought the collectors edition when it came out, and after lvl 20 I was felling let down by the game, I reached lvl 68 and then I just quitted, now the game is very fun to play, but for me, all my friends left the game, and returned to their previous mmo's lotro and wow Now I am playing rift, and might wait for a special offer from Funcom to tease me playing this game again!

  • @lordpatrice This is my whole issue with AoC as it sits. I kinda want to fire it back up cause I really liked the content but everyone I know won't give it even a glance after being burned 2 years ago beyond the fact that the world isn't as heavily populated as Rift or WoW. Those 2 Ms in MMORPG are the reason we play these games instead of other stuff offline. Nobody is paying $15/month for the game alone, they're paying for that game with all their friends and huge community.

  • @lordpatrice understand m8. But ihope you guys maybe wil try it once more. And maybe hit lvl 80 and join us in some raids :) Good luck on Rift, looks nice, but my heart lies in Hyboria :D

  • @brauta88

    ofc they didnt give up. This is/was their main money source.

  • @brauta88How good is the siege warfare/PVP in AoC? I remember at release playing barbarian in PVP was just the most epic PVP experience I ever went through. I wud sneak up on 2-3 people, clobber them, and while they're writing on the ground, quickly kill one of htem, then run away, duck out of LoS and stealth (which used to be possible). It was just amazing.... tried it later and they had removed stuff like that.

    I'm an strategy fan. considering coming back. pls tell me about siege pvp.

  • @brauta88

    I agree with you BUT: Overviewed, AoC isn't anything else than a titt-show with some gore and slashing elements ;). The crafting sys is crap and that instantiation of neare evers 10 miles of area makes me feel like I am in a very little sandbox.

  • @brauta88

    I am sorry to say that I played AoC on release, I played for 3 months, then I had done everything that wasn't bugged(iirc even architect thingy was bugged back then). So 1 year later I figured Funcom had fixed their bugs, maybe given us more content etc. So I logged in on my Necromancer who was logged in Keshatta, got corpsecamped for 30 minutes, logged out started a new toon, 24 hours later I was level 56 and got bored, stopped playing. also tried new expansion, but meh.. no thanks.

  • @brauta88 The game is not worth a new start. The complaints were because this game was advertised as a hardcore pvp game, they fucked that up and continued to do so, They even fucked pve up, it's now a hardcore grindfest with no background in the quests :/

  • I've reactivated my account a few days after the patch went live, and I must say goodjob guys!

    The game runs somewhat smoother and with higher graphics <3

  • This is such a huge improvement from the 2008 release of the game!

  • Really breathtaking game. I wish the PvP aspect of it wouldnt kill it for me. Games require realtime combat both defense and attack to deal with ganking. Let real skill determine an outcome of an fight, not level and equipment.

  • @Avean Then it wouldn't be an RPG

  • @iRacerMatt Yes it would be, and it was before 1.05. Gear meant almost nothing in pvp and thats where it should have stayed. When they changed the game to be more like wow, many people who were sold on the game for its skill based "real combat system" felt betrayed and left. You can still have and RPG (role playing Game) and an active fast paced combat system that relys on player skill rather than the equipment your character has. The leveling is fine, because it doesnt take very long to max.

  • this engine will go on Anarchy online too ? and if yes When ?

  • @Bodytatoo The Anarchy Online forums(Community corner, friday with means) have some info and screenshots, they promised very late Q1 release, or a Q2 release. My bet is they will release it with the 10 year aniversary of Anarchy online(coming this june)

  • @xeavify well lets hope the best end of this month i will reactivate my account but its sad to hear the german server is down :( maybe they will reopen it again ?

  • Awesome!

  • Fuck!! now i have to reactivate my account :( oh.. well, haven't played AOC in a while, so this can be interesting :D

  • @Breaking1337 Hehe:D

  • @Breaking1337 I haven't played the game in a while as well, and thought about reactivating my account.

    But i'm worrying that i'll just feel the same as before if the deal with the content is the same.

  • It all accuallty loks great. Even in dx9.

  • cool, i guess.
