Why Wildstar is the true heir to World of Warcraft's legacy
Comments2
Five years into Wildstar’s nine (nine!) year development, the team at Carbine Studios hit a wall. “We were making a pretty average MMO. It was a boring WoW clone, effectively,” says producer Stephen Frost. We looked at it and went, ‘this is not what we want to do.’”
The team hit the reset button. Half a decade’s worth of work was thrown out. “We wanted to make something different.”
The result is the first MMO I’ve felt that can actively improve on World of Warcraft. Maybe, even in some ways surpass it.
Acquiescence: Trion Worlds' shooty MMO Defiance will go free-to-play in June
Comment
Defiance arrived last year as an MMO tie-in to the SyFy drama series of the same name, and begged the question: what if one flies while the other fails? We never got to know, as both parts of the would-be multimedia extravaganza dropped limply to earth after launch, clacking together like marbles in a net.
But now Defiance will have its chance to fly again, unshackled by a TV program nobody’s watching. It’s going free-to-play.

No One Lives Forever trademark filing hints at possible re-release
As we reported last year, the rights to Monolith's 2000 comedy spy shooter No One Lives Forever dropped off the radar after Activision proverbially shrugged its shoulders as to the whereabouts of the game's ownership. Now, Siliconera has exposed some new intel on the franchise's trademark from a number of recent filings by Night Dive Studios, a classic PC game republisher. This isn't direct confirmation of NOLF's return to the field, but it sparks hope for the game's licensing troubles.
BioShock Infinite's Columbia appears in the skies of Minecraft
What if Elizabeth tore open a rift, but instead of yanking out a crate of guns or a Gatling-wielding automaton, she withdraws a square-shaped chunk of grass before chucking it at your face with a "Booker, catch!"? I'd sputter in confusion, but that probably also means BioShock Infinite's heroine found her way to the Minecraft-ed version of the floating city of Columbia. Constructed by architect group TheVoxelBox of the Planet Minecraft fansite, the city boasts superb detail and personality worthy of the game's best custom creations.
