We’ve heard a lot about WildStar’s ‘choose your journey’ Adventures recently, but never had the chance to dive in and take a closer look. That’s now changed, with Senior Content Designer Matt Tobiasson taking me on a guided tour through one of the option-laden scenarios. Would it feel like a run-of-the-mill dungeon, or had Carbine managed to add something new to the mix? Find out, as I enter Riot In the Void.

An another futur F2P...
As I read through the article and watched the video - the re-occurring thought was, "Yes! this is what I wanted."
Sub haters are going to hate - it's not going f2p folks, it's high quality and it's got staying power, just wait and see.
Its a game just to enjoy and not think to much...
i was actually surprised that i felt part of a story, with so much or few info
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
That's called Empathy. Do you think Carbine has any? Nope.
If I wanted to play Simon on the Internet..........

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
So if you hate subs you won't like Wildstar? Not because you didn't like the game?
Last time I checked paying a subscription for WoW and ESO, coming up.
I hated my time with the Wildstar beta, but if I don't end up liking WoD (doubtful) or ESO fails by the time I get 200 hours worth of playtime (Love the game, don't think it will), I might check it out, even with my low opinion.
"What tastes like purple?"
Don't judge wildstar if you haven't try it. Was highly impressed and addicted to it. Thank god a friend gave me that stress key. I agree on what someone else said. This game is high quality and do not expect f2p
Same run-through from a different perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Um6EpwBJE
It was fun playing with you Gareth!
Apart from the flashing graphical effects which blinded me it might be fun .
Just because you don't like the setting and art style doesn't mean that there isn't just as many or more that like it or are able to enjoy both this and the medieval theme.
There's no proof that this will "hit" them any more than another art style/ theme.
My suggestion, actually try to get a key for beta and try the game. You might like it. I remember when I was younger I hated vegetables too because I thought they looked "icky," but you know what? I love them now and they look and taste damn good to me.
MMOs Played: FFXI,Age of Conan, Aion, Rift, SWTOR, TERA, TSW, GW2

Well, can someone tell the guy from the video that a pretty good number of people are listening to him.?!
He sounds like he just waked up after 1 hour of sleep.
Every moment I was expected a line like "you know what? get the fuck out. i am back to bed"
Anyway, been watched other "Riot In The Void" videos including the Dev's one, and I really really liked what I saw.

Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
I think in general fantasy themes have more wide appeal than SF does. I myself also prefer fantasy. That said, I have played during the stress tests and I love the game. Yes I would have probably liked it even more if it was fantasy based instead of SF, but I'll likely be playing it once it comes out anyway.
What did Carbine do to you? They've been pretty cool from what I've seen. This isn't the first time I've seen you bash them.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
Out of all the arguments against this game I've yet to see one constructive one.
"OH! CARTOONY" You know... Because half of the cartoons watched nowadays aren't an adult majority? Because this same crap was said against WoW and it was on time, if not STILL on top to this day?
"WOW CLONE!" I thought we had all grown up pass this but obviously not. We still have little kids and adults with little kid minds saying this. Wildstar used what worked and made it better. Get over it. Just like WoW took all the things that worked in Everquest and bettered it.
"TOO MANY TELEGRAPHS!" Well, this I can agree with. Because if you don't understand basic shapes and how to measure simple distance you probably shouldn't play Wildstar... Or ANY game. (And yes I have heard this unfortunate argument.)
I can go on but we all get the point. People hate because they want to hate. Do people have good arguments? Sometimes. But it is rarely seen. Will this game be an instant success? Maybe. Maybe not. All I'm saying is so far, by the looks of it, Carbine seems to be doing things right so far. We'll see what the future holds.
