Enter Digital Extremes. As a developer it’s no spring chicken, having worked on titles ranging from The Darkness 2 to Unreal Tournament way back in 1999, but despite this it’s kept a low profile. Or at least, it did until Sony decided to throw away its old indie rulebook, embrace the studio with open arms and beg to have PC space ninja brawler Warframe ported as a PS4 launch title. In doing so, Sony earned Digital Extremes’ loyalty and admiration, but just how did such a thing come about?
"Digital Extremes’ free sci-fi epic Warframe, a zeitgeist of online gaming, is now available for Nintendo Switch™ 2." - Digital Extremes.
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).
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.
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.
That is true, so there should be no problems like you said, unless someone has messed-up really badly.
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.
Exactly. And nope, it was never a P2W title, and from what I understand, it will remain that way as well.
TNS: Follie is finally here and you'll have to grease the elbows a bit if you want her for free. Here's how to get Follie in Warframe.
"Digital Extremes blended two major announcements with careful brush strokes on Devstream 193: Warframe will be available for Nintendo Switch 2 (and all platforms) alongside its next major update, The Shadowgrapher, for free on Wednesday, March 25." - Digital Extremes.
We enjoy this game and game conversations as well.
Definitely having a lot of fun with this one on my PS4.
