Other big influences: Super Mario World, Zelda (A Link to the Past), Railroad Tycoon, Rock’n Roll Racing, Rice of the Triad, Duke Nukem 3D, The Quake and Unreal series, Counter Strike and a bunch of other games I can’t remember on the fly.
Rice of the Triad, eh?

Originally posted by kyds3k It's an epic game about the lunch of a Chinese gangster. Finishing it on 'Stir Fry' setting is difficult enough, but on 'Foo Yung' it's just insane! |

<yawn> I find it hard to believe that www.mmorpg can entertain the idea of publishing this kind of interview. It is lame, boring, enervating and ultimately a complete waste of time. Really who gives a damn about this kind of insignificant rubbish. I suspect there are two things at work in motivating this, first, its a space filler for mmorpg, second AoC gets a little more free marketing and publicity. Cmon guys think quality over quantity. |

Keridwan... Not everybody is like you, caring only for news about the games themselves. Guys like me love to know the people behind games, who they are, how they got into the gaming industry and what kind of persons they are. IMO there should be a lot more interviews like this! I actually got more interested in AoC after seeing that there are hardcore gamers amongst the devs. And showing a dev wich seemingly only tries to be himself I think strenghtens the credability to AoC`s dev team. I also think that getting to know a dev personally can tell us more or atleast just as much about a game than the revealing of a new feature could do. Keep it up MMORPG.com! :) |

Luckily for all of us, only a small minority are as narrow minded as Keridwan.
It was entertaining and interesting as a mmo community human interest story. But the question we were all looking for is "when is the release date?" I would bet that mmorpg was asked "not" to ask the question. What concerns me is the comment "We hope that you will continue following Age of Conan next year, as we’re getting ready to show off some truly epic material that will blow your socks off!" That kinda implies only seeing material in 2007 and not the release of the game itself. |
