Episode 41 of Nexus Talk is here! Join Richie Procopio this week as he takes the time to go over all of your viewer questions and get into the nitty-gritty aspects of the upcoming MMO, WildStar.

While the day that WildStar Wednesday falls on has been a little up on the air as of late, this week we actually got some news on Wednesday from the Carbine campus--just in case you were missing the tradition. While most of the recent WildStar news has been about raw game content, this time around we got a sneak peak at the shiny new bridge that allows players to access it. Prepare yourself, User Interface changes are on the way and Carbine's new Senior UI Designer, Rob Martin, gives us the details!
MMORPGs are games that thrive on giving players memorable adventures and content that they can experience with their friends and share with their guildmates over and over again. In its upcoming MMORPG WildStar, Carbine Studios is taking this term quite literally and adding an actual gameplay type into the game referred to as Adventures!
If you’ve seen Carbine’s latest WildStar Flick, then you might have a good sense of what these dangerous trials may entail--other than knowing your life will be on the line every step of the way. Following the latest Flick, a few press members, including myself, got a chance to hangout with Carbine’s Senior Content Designer, Matt Tobiason, as we ran through one of these Adventures and got to experience first-hand what they were all about. So without further delay, let me jump right in and discuss exactly what these Adventures have in store for all of you would-be heroes coming to planet Nexus!
Carbine Studios is hosting another Reddit AMA this week and the team is eager to answer all of your questions regarding WildStar's Adventures.
Nexus Talk Episode 39 is here! This week, Join Richie Procopio as he talks all about Adventures in Carbine's upcoming MMO, WildStar. He also shares some of his own experience with this 5-man instanced content type. It's like the holo-deck, but with a half-psychotic AI guiding your group--what could possibly go wrong?
Nexus Talk Episode 38 is here! This week, join Richie Procopio as he covers some of the social aspects of WildStar with information regarding Guilds and Circles in the game. If you want to go fast, go alone. However, if you want to go far, go with a group!
MMORPGs come in all shapes and sizes and are defined by the individual pieces that make up the worlds that gamers thrive in. These pieces can range from environments and creatures to characters and story, but throughout the genre one staple has always nestled perfectly at its core--customization.
Whether you're changing armor, weapons, spells, abilities or your character's eye shape and hair color, tweaking and tailoring the game experience to suit your style has always been a major factor in any MMORPG. And while some games may be at the lower end of the spectrum compared to others of their kind, WildStar is definitely aiming to hit all the right points that give players the ability to customize almost anything they can get their hands on.
NCsoft and Carbine Studios unveiled their new project at Gamescom today! It's a future fantasy MMO called WildStar where players can make their mark as Explorers, Soldiers, Scientists or Settlers and lay claim to a mysterious planet called Nexus on the edge of known space. Here are some details on the four paths:
The game boasts a unique art style, which can be seen in the cinematic trailer below and in the screenshots in our gallery. Head over to the new WildStar site to sign up for the beta and keep reading after the jump for more details on the game, including its immersive Momentum Mechanics system. No release date has been announced.
UPDATE: Details have been released on the three confirmed races and classes in the Gamescom demo. There's also some gameplay footage at the link!
NCsoft's Carbine Studios just released a second still image from the trailer for their soon-to-be-announced MMO! The image is titled "Welcome Wagon," although I'm betting those robot crab things aren't too happy to see new visitors. We'll just have to wait and see how they fit into the game when the trailer is revealed at Gamescom next week!
Carbine has posted a handful of blog entries leading up to Gamescom, including another still image from the trailer that features a scenic space view from the Ark Ship (whatever that is). In yesterday's blog post, Art Director Matt Mocarski called the project a "future fantasy game." From the looks of these two images, it certainly seems like we can expect to see a strong sci-fi element in the MMO. We'll find out more at Gamescom next week!
