GDC Preview
IGN has posted a new preview of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventure (AoC) strait from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2008. IGN was treated to a preview of one of the higher level dungeons known as Kheshatta. Along with the new dungeon they had a look at several of the classes and a vastly improved performance for AoC.
Moving through the dungeon, the party encountered lizard-like giants called scaleskin brutes, including an even more massive boss version. At this point Funcom showed off its dynamic shielding system, which works with the weapon swing hotkeys in an attempt to create a more engaging battle system.
