Age of Conan "best looking MMO" on the market

7 July 2011

Not many would disagree with Funcom’s Craig Morrison’s claim that his MMORPG is the best looking on the market. “We’re very proud of the fact we have the best-looking game in the MMO space. We’re quite proud of that. There are very few games that can compete with us graphically,” said Morrison when speaking to Eurogamer.

Morrison admits that building a game with top-notch graphics comes with a price, though, saying “it does come at a cost. Not as many machines can necessarily play the game on the settings players would like. They see the videos and would like to play it on the same. A player might not always be able to depending on the hardware they have.”

“Players don’t like starting a game on low graphics settings,” he continued. “They want to see the cool stuff and they want to play the game on the settings we intend and beyond. Their machine is not necessarily capable of playing it.

“We do know that we have that challenge. Not as many machines can play our games as some of the older titles that are more casually focused to try and reach as many people as possible.”

Age of Conan just went free-to-play.
