Digital Extremes have released a major update for their highly successful free-to-play third person action game, Warframe . Released last month on PC, Octavia’s Anthem is finally available for PS4 and Xbox One players to enjoy. The new update brings a new Warframe, new weapons, a new quest and much m
Cephalon are essentially powerful artificial intelligences created during the Orokin-era. Some, such as Cephalon Ordis, control a ship’s systems and essentially make it so the occupants needn’t perform any action to maintain the ship. Others, such as Cephalon Suda and Simaris, are just powerful beings that try to acquire as much knowledge as possible, albeit through somewhat different meth
At this particular time, we're debating what we're going to do - if we're going to let them. It's most likely going to be a no because that's a certain gameplay hook needed ahead of time, but the struggle for us is we're a free-to-play game; we want as many people to play the new stuff as soon as possible, so if we release this awesome update that takes you twenty hours to get to, that's a problem. Luckily daytime is a solution but nighttime is in its own easy enticing, so we're trying to figure out exactly how to hook someone in to communicate this is what night is for if you're new. Which is something we struggle with a lot.
One of the best and most popular free-to-play games on the market is coming to one of the most popular platforms. Yes, Warframe is about to make its way with an official release on the Nintendo Switch and we can all finally take Warframe on the
Shortly after shifting to a free-to-play model , DCUO saw an uptick in its player base, once again proving that MMOs can still find success without a subscription fee. As far as we know, DCUO on the PS4 will also be free-to-play with support for in-game purcha
Moreover, we suspect that current-gen systems weren't capable of supporting a game like PlanetSide 2 , which makes Sony's next-gen device the better fit. Sony has already shown their support for online shooters like Dust 514 and Defiance , and now PlanetSide 2 will join the fray. Like DC Universe Online , PlanetSide 2 will be hitting the PS4 later this y
So, we started early this year, probably between three and six months from idea to pen on paper. We essentially started the year off with the biggest problem of all: what are we going to do to keep our veterans happy? We can write a quest to keep them happy for a week, or can think what's the next push. We've pushed in all sorts of directions and they all have given us different results, mostly positive, but you can see when something doesn't have that staying power from someone who loves our game for it's core, that fluid gameplay and stuff, but in this case, this caters to that too a degree you can't get any idea. We're about to put their skills to the test.
Yes. Right now the player is faced with a faction called the Grineer, who's largely the first fraction you encounter in the game. So, a new player is familiar with them. In the daytime, new players will be very comfortable, learning things about the world. But at nighttime, the Eidolon comes out and that is an enemy that can only be encountered by someone that has the gear and the progression in the game to do so. We're talking hours into the game to unlock different quests to give them access to the Tenno, your operator, so that's a progression lock, more or less. This „kaiju“ we call it, can't be countered by someone who hasn't progressed far enough. So it's an end game version of nighttime.
I thing the whole Warframe vs Mabinogi thing is really exciting! In the previous matchup, AirMech faced Warframe and we unfortunately lost. I noticed many of our players seemed torn between choosing AirMech or Warframe, plus as I know the devs at Digital Extremes (old friends and independent developers themselves) I felt like the most honorable thing to do would be to cheer them on in the next round. I'd never heard of the other game, and never saw it mentioned. I figure why not support some friends, as I heard the other game was offering rewards, and participation is great. I think that companies rewarding their players for voting is perfectly fine. Obviously you're going to support the game you play, so no harm there. If anyone resorts to botting votes, now that is a serious violation and I hope it hasn't happened. I didn't see anything official from Nexon about AirMech and that being the reason they tried so hard (though in the end failed) to win the vote. I'm flattered the players think that our admittedly small community had such a massive influence on the vote in order to justify involving all their games. AirMech is a team of 9 indie developers just building a game we love, and supporting a community we love. We even provided links showing how many potential votes AirMech contributed, but that apparently was ignored. The real winner here is MMOBomb of course. Brilliant move on their part to have this contest, as they have even tricked Nexon into driving them a massive amount of traffic! You can't buy that kind of interest, so really well done there. Warframe Frames|Https://Warframebase.Com/ also wins, because now all those Nexon players know about Warframe. Even AirMech wins–we've had a ton of signups originating from Nexon forums over the past few days. That wasn't intentional, but I'm happy they now know about AirMech and are playing our game. In fact all the games in this contest are winners, especially the smaller ones that could use some exposure. Large companies playing it smart like Riot were right to sit out, since any promotion of the event is just free advertising for other ga
