Age of Conan DX10 Delay

Voodoo Extreme notes that a Funcom press release about this week's launch of Age of Conan contains a less-than-prominent note that the DirectX 10 edition of the MMORPG will be delayed, which is apparently great news for DirectX 10 fans according to the spin:

As Microsoft’s DirectX 10 is undoubtedly the future of PC gaming, Funcom has decided to ship only the DirectX 9 version at launch, giving the team more time to focus on building a DirectX 10 version worthy of Microsoft’s great vision for the future of PC gaming. This postponement will let Funcom include even more features in the DirectX 10 version of Age of Conan than originally planned.

The DirectX 10 version will be premiered at the German Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, August 20 – 24, 2008. A special preview showing off the advanced graphics made possible by DirectX 10 technology will be unveiled this summer at nVidia’s NVISION event in San Jose, California, August 25 – 27, 2008.

I can't imagine running a DX10 MMO would be all that appealing right now anyway. All the cards available are either first generation or minor revisions thereof. Outside of a few SLI rigs nothing seems to push DX10 frame rates over the magical 60+ fps number, the situation could only be worse for an MMO.

Microsoft got it's money's worth from all the BS Funcom spread while the game was in development, but to all the suckers that bought Vista and a graphics card just to play this game - you have my sympathies. Maybe I'll see you in the Fall if you're still playing the game. (Provided it doesn't suck ass through a straw.)
