Age of Conan zone preview is smooth as silk
Ten Ton Hammer has a new zone preview video from FunCom developers Jørgen Tharaldsen and Jason Stone. This particular video is from The Maze, a tantalizing small team instance from Aquillonia. What we are seeing is running at a very smooth 40 frames per second while the game engine is loading well out of visual range. That's just another nail in the coffin of our concerns, which is a very good thing to bury.
Aside from technical milestones, we've got to admit that the bog creatures (or pond demons?) seen in the video are quite cool. It's good to know that these instanced areas are getting a lot of attention, as we all know how people love running quests with their tight knit groups. Age of Conan is definitely one of the prettier massively games coming out this year, we can't deny our sudden drool-begotten stares of the scenery reflected in ponds.
