Warframe Dev: "PS4's GDDR5 RAM Opens Up Possibilities for Extra Detail, Video Streaming"

"We recently had a chance to speak to Digital Extremes creative director Steve Sinclair, currently working on Warframe for the PlayStation 4, about how the developer was using the extra GDDR5 RAM of the console, along with benefits derived from the unified architecture."

"You can use the GPU to process physics and effects data. It’s key in shipping a console that is great early in the cycle while leaving the ceiling quite high for hybrid computing techniques in the future.”

Precisely. The PS4 will really come into its own a couple of years down the line. GDDR5 appears to be over-kill to some now, but it just goes a long way in ensuring that the PS4 will be more future proof.

Tatsuya 4656d ago

Damn right, I can't wait to see all the future titles that will make use of the full capabilities of the PS4. I like to see more devs praising and preferring the PS4 as the primary benchmark for the next-generation.

ThanatosDMC4656d ago

Love the PS4 and all but these devs of Warframe talk like their game is the $hit, when it's severely lacking on PC. Gameplay got boring and repetitive. They need to add more stealth or something different that what is currently provided or planned.

It's not even as good as the trailer not to mention the levels are a cluster*uck and the match making is horrendoes because they can have you join a match that is all ready about to end or just ended.

It'd be different if it's Naughty Dog touting what they could do but these devs brag too much.

I can't tell you how excited I am for the GDDR5 RAM. My gaming PC only has 3 gigs of GDDR5 and I've yet to play a game that requires it all. So the 5-6 that we will get on the PS4 will be absolutely amazing; especially a few years down the road.

SniperControl4656d ago

You mean DDR3 right? DDR4 is just coming out now. GDDR5 is mainly found in graphics cards.

If you are talking about your GPU, then my bad.

Nik_P7574656d ago

Did you not see the GDDR? The G. Again, the G. I have 16 gigs of DDR3. Did you see that, No G. Can you tell the difference now?

SniperControl4656d ago

@Nik_P757

haha jesus, over reaction or what lol.

ShwankyShpanky4656d ago

But that's an inadequate comparison. You're shouldn't be comparing 5-6GB of total memory as GDDR5 to the 3GB of GDDR5 that you have on your vidcard, since you've also got an additional 16GB of system memory that the PS4 doesn't have.

PS4 is a developement friendly console at a friendly price. Good lookin out, SONY! As a customer, I will "Thank you" with my wallet.

N7Lukas4656d ago

Wow. I like how the PS4 is shaping up, but you sound like a corporate robot spouting that nonsense. "Team Playstation"? C'mon man.

Team games! lol.

TheOneEyedHound4656d ago

If some ******* can say " Team Jacob " I could say " Team Playstation".

‘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.

Neonridr36d ago

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

TGG_overlord35d 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).

DivineHand12535d 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_overlord34d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL35d 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_overlord34d ago

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

1nsomniac35d ago

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

DivineHand12535d 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_overlord34d ago

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

TGG_overlord34d ago

The updates and community keeps the game going.
