Age of Conan - E3 Preview @ MPOGD

Multiplayer Online Games Directory shares some E3 impressions of Funcom's Age of Conan.

Having just seen Age of Conan at GDC, it was fresh in our mind how the game plays. At E3, they stepped it up a bit, showing off three different classes in a group setting. We also took a look at the recently released trailer that blew us away and upped the anticipation factor for this title ten-fold. For anyone not in the know, Age of Conan is set in the Robert Howard universe, using the Conan novels, comic books and extended universe as source material. It's a pretty adult game, as such, aiming for an M rating. It's a massively multiplayer online role-playing game with an action oriented combat system. Funcom told us they are making it specifically for the casual gamer, who has maybe 20 hours a week at most, but that a hardcore gamer will find much to love.
