Conan Exiles Reinvents Itself for Launch
Funcom has heard the lamentations of the fans regarding their game Conan Exiles, and while the community won’t see everything people have requested (Conan Exiles isn’t getting an army of mounts or the like), at a digital press event I was able to get hands-on and see some impressive changes addressing many concerns people have expressed for this next adventure in the Hyborian Age. Conan’s New Soul Perhaps the change that will impact the game most on a moment to moment basis is the complete combat overhaul that Funcom has pulled off. Originally, Conan Exiles had a simplistic combat system that they based off of Skyrim. Many players had issues with it, and as combat is a core component to basically anything with the name Conan, Funcom listened. Instead of messing around with small tweaks, they opted to make a new combat system for Conan Exiles to do justice to the barbarian, taking more inspiration from recent Action RPGs. While hesitant to name it, the Souls series is … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles Reinvents Itself for Launch
Conan Exiles prepares to leave Early Access with two new regions and massive NPC invasions
Ahead of its launch from Early Access on May 8, I recently got to check out some of the new features coming to Conan Exiles, Funcom's multiplayer survival sandbox. Conan Exiles has changed a lot since I played it last: the map is much bigger, the combat has been overhauled, and it includes free-form climbing (inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild, according to game director Joel Bylos), with everything from cliffs to trees to castle walls now completely scalable. I also witnessed a castle siege, complete with angry god avatars smashing and stomping down walls, and got see the long-awaited Purge event—masses of NPC enemies storming player bases—in action. There's even a bit of farming coming to Conan Exiles, though it's really more like gardening, as players can build planters and grow small crops from seeds and compost.Playing a build of Exiles described as 'near-final', I started from scratch with a new character and immediately appreciated the 'Exiles Journey' … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles prepares to leave Early Access with two new regions and massive NPC invasions
Conan Exiles artist had ‘reference dicks on her screen for a week’ while designing dong slider
Warning: this post contains gifs of, and makes reference to, digital genital customisation as it features in Funcom's Conan Exiles. Conan Exiles is fast approaching its first Early Access anniversary, having entered Steam's pre-release initiative on January 31, 2017. Which means Mr Weebl's NSFW music video celebrating the game's dong physics is also almost one year old. Good luck getting it out of your head if you followed that link. Chris' explicit gif-filled report on Exiles' endowment slider was PCGamer.com's most read news story last year. As such, while catching up with director Joel Bylos about the state of the open world survival game one year on, I felt it only right to, ahem, swing back round to its genital simulation. "When we decided to do it, when we discussed it internally," Bylos tells me. "We asked: 'does it fit the setting, should we do it, and is it problematic?' We basically decided that there's nothing sexual in the game, it does fit the setting, and it … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles artist had ‘reference dicks on her screen for a week’ while designing dong slider
