Sony Looking Into Making WARFRAME A Shared PS4 & PC Cooperative Experience

Extremely satisfied with the hardware side of the development process, Digital Extreme expressed that the hardware is “a dream to work with” – “The unified memory and the architecture are amazing, allowing for general purpose threading with a GPU that is absolutely kick ass!” according to creative director Steve Sinclair.

We were also excited to find out that while nothing has yet to be confirmed, because fans have been asking whether they would be able to transfer their PC WARFRAME accounts over to the PS4 and vice versa, as well as cooperatively play on the PS4 together with their PC counterparts

Yeah, This could work!

They did it with Portal2 so why not!

Grave4710d ago

Played Portal 2 on Steam and my bud was on PS3. Worked flawlessly. Seriously don't understand why this isn't in more games.

Mounce4710d ago

Because 360/PS3 was for the most part, where most games were made on and Microsoft would never allow anything shared. Microsoft barely likes to share anything on their consoles to their Windows OS.

Sony is fine with sharing things on PC, which essentially would be Windows Operated than Microsoft is to their own OS. Silly, no?

4 > 1 - Sony listens and gives features For gamers even if PC-purchasers can't give profit to Sony.

miyamoto4710d ago

and DC Universe online
so freedom

FamilyGuy4709d ago

FF14 is like this too and that's PS3 players with PC players, PS4 will be included too when it's released.

Sony has no problem with this so I expect a lot of titles to cross-over this way.

Lone_Man4710d ago

the war between mouse and gamepad...lukin 4ward to it...

kratoz12094710d ago

Its a Co-op MMO so it doesn't really matter.

BiggCMan4710d ago

Exactly, in co op it doesn't matter. Also, I play this game HEAVILY right now in the PC beta, and I personally know, the keyboard/mouse controls are HORRIBLE in this game. The only thing that's good is aiming and shooting with the mouse, but that is any game cuz a mouse is just too amazing.

But the keyboard layout is just terrible, and I just didn't feel like changing it at the time. So I tried out my PS3 controller, and never looked back. This game is definitely a more controller friendly game

akiraburn4710d ago

@BiggCMan, yeah I mentioned in another article some stuff about this. I've been dropping a lot of time in on the Warframe beta as well. For the first several weeks I was using Keyboard/Mouse, but even after customizing all the keys to a layout that seemed practical, I was still getting some pains in my hand. And mind you, I do a lot of PC gaming in addition to my PS3, so this was a bit unexpected. What it boils down to, is that this is the kind of game that needs a lot of simultaneous inputs, which is cool, but even with a mechanical keyboard I've found that your hand will get tired after a little while.

So I switched to using my PS3 controller with this as well (via MotionInJoy) and it feels much better and I'm able to play almost universally smoother. The only thing that I'm not a huge fan of is the way that they handled for hacking terminals using a controller. I've found that I'm much slower on them without having the mouse cursor, and there seems to be some issues with getting the right node to be highlighted sometimes. I'm sure that by the time they're out of beta this will be refined.

The only other problem with a controller (and it's a small one) is that you still have to use your mouse on the menu screen and whatnot, as opposed to your controller handling the cursor. I'm sure that will be updated in the near future though.

On topic, this is great news if it turns out to be accurate. I've been hoping for this to work out, as I have a lot of PSN friends that would be playing this and I'd like to game with them, but I wouldn't want to completely restart my account just to play with them. Got my fingers crossed for full confirmation.

hellvaguy4710d ago

war with a key board and mouse, gamepad is at a serious disadvantage (for fps shooters anyways). lots of research and tournaments done on it. google if u don't believe me.

Ju4710d ago

Well, some games support mouse/KB on PS3. UT3 and new Dust 514 (which also supports Move). I see no reason why this wouldn't be possible on the PS4. PC version supports controllers as well (native DS support on PC would be nice - but MotionJoy works just fine). UT could actually use a "controller filter" in match making. But ultimately this should be the players choice, no?

kratoz12094710d ago

Man i am so excited to play this game on the PS4 :D also cant wait to play Planetside 2 :D

Angeljuice4710d ago (Edited 4710d ago )

It won't be a 'war' it's cooperative play only.

r214710d ago

This will be the 3rd attempt on a PS console with cross platform play. IIRC first, like gentleman says, was Portal 2 and second was Dust 514 and Eve. Really wish we had cross console play as well. Unlikely with xbox 1 but could be cool to see Wii U/PS4 cross play :D

Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses

andy8518d ago

Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price

Pergele17d ago

Whatever you say buddy, let's all wear the tinfoil hats.

IceKoldKilla17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

LMFAO Your comment alone says a lot more about you than anything else. When has one game not selling 10 million copies made a company raise the prices of their console? Then Xbox would be costing $5000 by now lol. You remind of the crazy drug addicts on the street rambling on about conspiracies. xD You sure you don't need a hug, buddy?

ChunkyMonk17d ago

One game that Sony payed $200 million for. lol
Also, you sure were quick to get triggered. Maybe your the one who needs a hug?

Eonjay17d ago

If nothing else, we should be united against the real issue here. AI and unnecessary tariffs that are effecting all gamers.

Athlon10118d ago (Edited 18d ago )

The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.

S2Killinit17d ago

Its not the war. Its the RAM issue.

jznrpg17d ago

War is causing gas prices to rise. Transport of everything requires gas so the prices of those items go up as well. So it does have an impact

Athlon10117d ago (Edited 17d ago )

The blockage of the Straight of Hormuz due to the US-Iran war has affected raw components used in semi-conductor manufacturing such as bromine, aluminum, and helium. Iran had attacked the liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in Qatar which is a large producer (1/3 globally) of helium which is used in semiconductor etching. So it's the both the war and the RAM crises.

badz14918d ago

Oh no...should I get the Pro now before the price increase?

I dont think that'll ever happen. But i must say back in the day, they were definitely trying because they were more cash rich than their competitors.

CosmicTurtle30d ago

I think MS were and still are the richer company. They tried to acquire Sega back in the day (and considered doing so again more recently), they obviously bought exclusivity to Halo which was originally shown as a Mac title. I don’t think as a company MS can claim the moral high ground here. It’s a wilful lack of self awareness.

Of course Sony would try exactly the same if they had the resources, but when the PS2 dominated the industry was in a much healthier place with an abundance of great third parties.

This has been a depressing generation as far as first party decisions are concerned. The fact we are debating business plans rather than which game is better is a sad reflection of the state of things.

Darkseeker31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

There was Nintendo as well, Sony wouldn't have had a monopoly. In fact, the world would be better today if Xbox never existed in the first place. They pretty much brought all bad practices we have today. We might have gotten all of it either way, but not this early. In term of franchises, I don't think there is anything Microsoft released that would actually be missed if it didn't exist. Even Halo the world wouldn't notice if Halo didn't exist.

S2Killinit31d ago

MS was definitely a bad influence on gaming.

raWfodog31d ago

I think almost everyone will agree that a monopoly is not good for the industry. But that being said, the competition needs to be smart and strategic with their business. Simply buying up publishers and traditional third-party studios just to keep them out of the other companies reach is not a sustainable practice. That goes for all parties so don't think I'm just referring to Xbox.

I'm no business guru by any stretch of the imagination but I firmly believe that the best way to drive consumers to your software and hardware is to invest smart in your first-party studios. Give them full support and guidance in making unique, fun games that are only available to play in your ecosystem and the gamers will come.

Reaper22_31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

But first party studios aren't enough. They only make up a small portion of the industry. Without 3rd party there would be no industry for Microsoft or sony.Developing games take time and money and sometimes you gotta make moves to stay competitive.

raWfodog31d ago

Nah, I never said first-party was enough. I said it’s the ‘best way’ to drive gamers to your platform. 3rd-party is a free-for-all and there’s no guarantee that gamers will use your hardware to play the game. If you want to push your own software and/or hardware you need first-party, or at least exclusive deals with third-party studios.

SimpleDad31d ago

They Shure did a great job... 25 years later Xbox is dead.

Reaper22_31d ago

Then why be so emotional and continue to talk about it. Xbox will never die be ause it stays in so many people's head.

lodossrage31d ago

How can you even see him being "emotional" in that comment?

If anything, you're the emotional one, constantly trying to go at anyone that says anything against Microsoft. So when you call him emotional, it comes off as deflection

Elda30d ago

I own an XBSX & I can say it's becoming irrelevant out of the 3 current consoles.

‘Warframe’ is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide

"Digital Extremes’ free sci-fi epic Warframe, a zeitgeist of online gaming, is now available for Nintendo Switch™ 2." - Digital Extremes.

Neonridr50d ago

nice to see this game finally made it. Hopefully it looks and runs smooth.

TGG_overlord49d ago

Very much so, and I sure hope so. I do recall that people pointed that out for System Shock as well (I think that problem has been solved now).

DivineHand12549d ago

I just downloaded it on my phone a few weeks ago and the framerate isn't bad if you set it to 60hz. I suspect the switch 2 version should fair better interms of performance.

TGG_overlord48d ago

From what I've seen so far, it runs pretty smoth on the Switch 2.

BISHOP-BRASIL49d ago

It's originally a game released in 2013, obviously a lot has been changed since, but still the base code for this game was in development before at least 2011, which means that thing was probably going to run on PS3 and XB360 with a few tweaks, Digital Extremes just chose to skip into next gen... Someone would have had to majorly fuck up for the Switch 2 not to run Warframe smoothly, a game with 15 year old mid power target specs! It's a very light and optimized game by now anyway, it famously runs well on relatively old notebooks with CPU integrated graphics... Hell, even the mobile version manages to not run like ass.

TGG_overlord48d ago

That is true, so there should be no problems like you said, unless someone has messed-up really badly.

1nsomniac49d ago

Haven’t played this since it launched on ps4. Surprised it’s still even a thing.

DivineHand12549d ago

The game has received many quality of life updates since the PS4 days and receives content drops several times per year. The best part is that it is not pay to win.

It is a great way to unwind, but you will need to be active in the community to play this game. Most of the mechanics are explained by youtubers, forum posts and wiki pages.

TGG_overlord48d ago

Exactly. And nope, it was never a P2W title, and from what I understand, it will remain that way as well.

TGG_overlord48d ago

The updates and community keeps the game going.
