Yeah I quite liked the rotating items in inventory and the UI looks nice (i hope it's skinnable however), although I hope the rotating items don't cause too much of a performance hit. I'm actually concerned about the performance of the game overall (been burnt too many times here).
One thing too. I want to see female characters!!!!
Definately liked the second link video the best, eerie atmoshphere and then bam a creature arises. Looks interesting, we shall see.
Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there, 80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters. Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior, and he will bring the others home. -Heraclitus 500BC
Maybe it's just me, but it still doesn't make any sense to me what you're actually doing when you're playing this game. like... you can't actually play the game with the camera swirling around like that, so what does actual gameplay footage look like? like, what are you doing when you're playing? Is it like WoW where you just lock in combat and use hotkeys? is it like Oblivion where you're actually swinging swords and shooting bows? I mean... Have they even figured out what it's gonna play like yet, or are they just making pretty demo reels?
I dunno. It just looks like a bunch of aesthetically pleasing lies to me at the moment.
I have seen some in game footage of player controlled combat, and it is looking great! The ones I have seen were controlled like a 3rd person action game and had some excellent motion quality. The animations were varied, smooth, and life like, much better than any MMO I have seen to date.
I have been following this game for many months and it just keeps getting more and more promising as things progress.
Months ago Vangard was set to be a MS Vista showcase game. But MS dropped Vangard and instead picked up Conan. So even way back then MS could see Vangard was in trouble and Conan was showing promise. It seems to me MS is pouring a good chunk of change into this game and are determined to have a successful MMO to help launch Vista.
Have you guys seen the horse and rider videos? They put the horse and rider animations of WoW to shame! My only concern is how are they ever going to pull this game off as an MMO? It is looking more like a AAA single player RPG with all the motion quality and attention to detail this game demonstrates.
The rotating inventory items is strait out of SWG and I love that.
Also means that all items have a unique 3d Object...unlike alot of games.

Yeah those videos look pretty cool but I want to look around to find some videos of gameplay. Because there are a lot of games out there that look awesome, and you think they are going to be good, so the game get's a lot of hype, and then you actually get to play, and it turns out to be the most disgusting thing ever.
I've played many games, and the ones that I play change weekly. Currently I am very interested in Gunbound, Poker, and Kwon Ho once more. I am thinking of returning to Maple Story and Ghost Online.

Nice one, thanks, they look great
The spinning items on the paperdoll and in the Inv. remind me of the stuff in SWG, hehe
