The PlayStation Twitter account has just revealed an interesting fact about F2P title Warframe on PS4.
"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.
this game looks pretty fun
Netflix was the most downloaded app last gen too on all consoles. Pretty interesting that a movie and TV app dominates all consoles in downloads.
As for Warfare, pretty strong case for more free to play games. I know they dominate mobile, looks like they are just as popular on consoles. Not sure how I feel about that haha.
I love Warframe. It's my go-to game when I want something quick and fun.
Warframe is awesome...great co-op play, with tons of weapons that have their own personality.
"its not really. very repetitive and lots of micro transactions"
Just about every game online feels repetitive, and the microtransactions are completely optional, can unlock everything in the game by playing it.
"Not to mention a BS lvl 30 cap"
Every frame and weapon in the game caps at L30...the system is designed so you can reset everything and build unique frames and weapons using mods. I've played Volt 3 times to build his shields up to 1100, HP to 960 with a very high damage output and speed build.
Warframe is a fantastic game to play online with friends and many others around the world. I recommend it to anyone that loves co-op 3rd person shooters. Also, 1.7 PS4 owners play Warframe...great community, full of players all the time.
This game is actually quite good, it's not very beginner friendly and can give you the wrong impression at first. I know it did with me. I originally played it on PC and didn't like it at all. Then I decided to give it another try on PS4 and learned how everything worked, then once it all clicked I ended up putting over 200 hours into it.
It's actually less repetitive than any competitive FPS I've ever played, there's so many unique weapons and frames with their own unique abilities to play with I always felt like I had something new to do. And I did all of this without paying a single cent up until the 60 hour mark. Which is more time than I put into a lot of AAA $60 games. And I didn't even NEED to put money into it then. I just decided that they deserved the support at that point for actually pulling off an actual F2P game without excessive grinding and not feeling like it's P2W like so many others do.
Also the community has been great. I run into a lot less assholes than I do on other games. My friend list just about doubled from this game because I met so many great people instead of constant yelling and insults.
