GDC 07: AOC Preview @ GamersInfo

Gamersinfo.net has a new preview of Age of Conan, discussing their impressions of the game from GDC.

There are dozens of little things that I noticed but the last worth mentioning here I think is the music. As it should, music has come to truly enrich our gaming experience in the previous few years and AoC really aims to use this vehicle to its full potential. Along with the vibrant colors I didn't expect to see, I noticed majestic deep music. And, the music wasn't simply "background noise"; it was dynamic, adjusting tempo with the ebb and flow of the character's progress. As the character did well, the music became brighter, more uplifting. As he did poorly, the music reflected this. It lent an ambience to the game that you might not have unless they were to spend hours recording volumes of sound effects only to hear them all too often. The emotional pull of the music was fantastic.
