Lopping off heads in Age of Conan Gold might soon be taken very personally, as Shack News has reported that some fancy face-importing technology is being prepared for use in-game - you are bound to be just a tad more put out when you see your actual face rolling away on a decapitated noggin. The technology itself comes from a company called Big Stage Entertainment.
Funcom is working with Big Stage to bring both real-life faces and voices to in-game avatars. The Global Gaming League is running a competition called the Big Stage Crown Yourself King Conan Contest to promote the whole operation. Entrants must generate AoC-related Big Stage creations, and then share them around with as many people as possible for a chance to win some game time and in-game items. Shack News has a video demonstrating the use of the technology in its current implementation.
