Shadowing effects look nice, and there's been obviously an assload of work done on water, but I really hope more enhancements are coming our way. Looking at some textures, not all, would be kickass as well.

Yep this needs various stages of update to the old props and bump mapped textures.

Nice, though the new effects really show off the bad texture resolution in some places...

Did the link get taken down? And in that case could some kind soul upload a torrent of it?

Rewo

Looking good

The video was prepared for the press tour attending a press tour for Age of Conan here in Oslo on Friday. I admit I wasn't expecting them to get it up so fast but yes, it is official and it is footage from the alpha version of the new rendering engine.

One slight correction is that I believe some of the sites have credited as being the Conan engine, which isn't the case, the updates to the new anarchy engine are being developed independently and its not the same engine tech as we have said before the engine for Conan isn't backwards compatible with the AO engine.

It is looking fantastic and the guys here are doing a great job on it so we wanted people to be able to see the progress so far

So, you don't really seem upset about it being leaked (apparently?). Should make a news post and make it an official newsbit instead of having everybody else teased

I saw it, and it looks really nice. I'm half tempted to say to just release it now and work out the bugs/rest as you go, lol

It wasn't leaked, the sites were allowed to post it, they only just left Oslo early this morning so just wasn't quite expecting them to have it up so quickly! We will make sure its linked and posted on the main AO site during the week

and the new engine will support dx10?

We arent developing specifically for DX10 no, it will be updated to DX9 with the options for later development down the line. The first priority is bringing it up to date in the first place. So the new engine will not require or utilise DX10 when released.

Looks awesome. Once they get done with the engine, new textures would definitely be nice. I'd rather they work on the engine and get that all worked out first, though, so that the textures don't slow down progress

The VIDEO is looking fantastic and I am hoping that when its released I will be able to play again

Nice, just hope you get it online this year

Yeah; one thing that has been a conversation topic with me and my friends about the engine (and even on these forums) that I wonder if you can answer:

A new engine is of course a priority. It helps with so many things, including further expansion. But, when the new engine is released (or maybe during its development) are there any plans on to give the graphics an overhaul to better show off the engine, and, possibly even "relaunch" AO so to speak? (I guess that is a 2 part question).
