New Age of Conan Trailer
Posted by Stropp on April 16, 2008Funcom have posted up a new retail trailer for Age of Conan on their website. It’s quite large at 114MB and is took a while to download, around an hour. Longer than normal. I expect there are a few folks downloading. I also selected the 720p option which was a larger file, and I was only getting around 20 KBps.
There is also the option to view the Age of Conan Retail Trailer using YouTube. It will give you a much faster experience, but I have to say, the 720p trailer is a sight to behold, and worth the extra time to download.
I reckon Age of Conan may be one of the best looking games that I’ve seen. The graphics look gorgeous. Funcom have done a masterful job with the graphics and animation.
It’s one of the reasons that I am looking forward to the launch of AoC in just over a month.
There are some concerns though. Game developers have been known to develop beautiful looking games that have fallen short in the gameplay department. I’m not expecting this to be the case here though.
No. The bigger concern is what I’ve read around the traps. Keen is concerned about the type of players that Age of Conan will attract. To be honest I haven’t really given that aspect much consideration, but thinking about it now, Keen may have a good point.
Age of Conan is touting itself as a hardcore, action based, primarily PvP game. That does tend to attract a certain type of gamer, the highly competitive gamer. It also tends to attract the griefer types. Will this mean that AoC will be filled with trash-talking, fun-stealing gamers?
I hope not, and in any case, that’s just something to keep an eye out for. It’s not something to stop me from getting the game.
And one thing that will minimize the impact of this is being in a good guild. That should make a lot of difference in enjoying the game.

Well i have to say my opinions of AoC have changed a fair bit, at first i wasnt too bothered but im pretty excited about its release now. I think it was down to me making a paladin on WoW getting it to lvl 23 and then dieing of boredom – needless to say iv not touched WoW now for over a month.
Anyway this looks like a more mature game and it will defo be on my shopping list.
I think this is the kind of game which the RPPVP realm will be the best
oops forgot to put my name in
I’m in the same boat. When I first heard about it, there was talk of mature content, hardcore gameplay, strong PvP; and with all that I wasnt that interested. Now that it’s around the corner, my interest is peaking and I’m getting a little excited.
In some ways I think this may be a better game than Warhammer Online. We’ll have to wait and see.
I was looking forward to Warhammer but from what iv seen it looks like Warcrafts twin brother in many respects, Conan however just looks superb
