Warframe Dev: PS4 'Lets Us Bring Over High End Visuals Without Compromise'

"Ever since the reveal of the PlayStation 4, Sony has placed a lot of emphasis on bringing as many games over as they can for their next generation console. One such game is Warframe, a free to play game that is being developed by Digital Extremes, the studio behind 2008's Dark Sector."

Developers have nothing but praise for the PS4

[SlavisH2]

Only a idiot would say something negitive about a company you're working with. Why would you cannibalize your future cash flow, imo

P.S. below if you READ my comment i DIDN'T say it doesnt happen I SAID its not a smart move. If you aren't confident in what you're working on why would a consumer be confident in buying your product?

[ShugaCane]

But they could've remained silent as well. It's not as if they're owned by Sony. Nobody asked them to praise the PS4, and yet they do it. Plus, they're working on PC too, and seem to like the X1 ( http://n4g.com/news/1319317...

[NewMonday]

@SlavisH2
they did that plenty with the PS3 and now with the WiiU and the XBone

[Utalkin2me]

@SlavisH2

Usually when you're happy you like to speak out and tell everyone. If they wasn't happy or like working on the PS4, they could just stay quite.

[GribbleGrunger]

Bleedin' Nora, this is getting ridiculous. If an unsubstantiated source gives out information, you rightly say, it's just one source, I'll wait for more. If more sources give out similar information, you then go back on your original statement and tell us you'll wait for official word. If a developer actually working on the console in question then gives out positive information, it's not official word because they can't say anything else. If Sony then come out and tells us directly, you argue you can't believe the official word because it's just PR.

So, my question is, what other proof could there possibly be? Let's face it, at that point you're stood with your face buried in a corner, fingers plunged deep into your ears and are singing 'La ... la ... la.' at the top of your tiny lungs.

[SirBradders]

@SlavisH2 if tgey wasn't happy they could just keep quiet.

I personally have followed warframe for a while and its living up to be one of tge best f2p games out there. The developers make that so because they are honest and down to earth so to me these guys aint just trying to hype shit they are being genuine.

[silkrevolver]

Don't get so defensive about disagrees - it's the INTERNET.

[joeorc]

@Chaostar

exactly 100%

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

SONY IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT LONG TERM..LIKE THIS VIDEO STATED WILL LETS WAIT TO LOOK AT THIS A YEAR FROM NOW... IN 2008..LOL

ITS NOT ABOUT ONE GAME

just look at this

[Utalkin2me]

@thecoronor

Its one thing to talk. It is another to show, and Turn 10 is the only ones that have showed anything that the cloud is capable off. Warframe has been showed and demoed. So until we see something of the cloud and benefits then it is still a mystery. Cause we know how MS likes say one thing and do something else.

[abzdine]

i see your point but they have been getting good help from Sony and everyone is saying good things about it. When you hear too many positive things all the time from various people then you end up agreeing with them.
PS4 seems great and we all know how great the future of sony consoles is so all PS4 owners shouldnt worry.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

You must have been absent for a large portion of this generation. And everyone is going to have an opinion. Consoles manufacturers aren't going to blacklist you for criticism. This is a symbiotic industry. The proprietary owners and the developers need each other.

[papashango]

Im really glad warframe is coming to ps4. But seriously..It's not that great a game

[CEOSteveBallmer]

You got disagrees because your making it sound like a negative thing for developers to praise their partner company. Point is: if they don't like the PS4, they could have stayed "Quiet" just like what the other commenters were saying. But why is it that I can't find much articles about developers praising the xbox one?? its up to you to decide why. I know the answer but I don't want another xbox defense force barraging me with comments. especially the jokerguy

[Ritsujun]

JOY's joking on herself as we speak.

[s8anicslayer]

Indeed, but people who know nothing about hardware usage complain about memory usage that does not concern them!

[HiddenMission]

Actually memory usage does concern us gamers Skyrim on the PS3 says hi. We know 1st hand what happens when a console has memory issues and shortages or usage.

[JunioRS101]

The great thing about these kind of games is that even though you might not enjoy them quite as much as AAA titles, they're free, usually AT LEAST a little fun, and they're FREE! Which means they can keep me busy in between exclusive releases.

Count me in!

[Bob Dole]

Kinda silly considering Warframe is nothing special graphically.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Warframe looks pretty damn good, especially the effects, and especially considering it's a free to play Indie game.

[Bob Dole]

In comparison with PS2 and many other PC games, Warframe graphically; is nothing special. Bob Dole's midrange PC can run Warframe at max 60fps, while PS2 is running at around 40-50 and looking leaps and bounds better.

[Bigpappy]

The developer did not just out and praise PS4. He was ASKED why work on PS4 and not PS3. He is just saying the game was a much easier fit on PS for and the Graphics remain unchanged. He is an indie developer contracting PS4 to PS3!

You guys try to make it sound like developer are so amazed by the power of PS4, that they run to any media person they could find to profess their undying love for PS4.

[hollabox]

@papashango

I agree with you on this one. I played it on the PC for two weeks, uninstalled. It looked ok, but not mind blowing, after the first week I was bored, felt too much like UT2004 edition.

[nick309]

Never compromise (;

[chrissx]

I'm not suprised. The Ps4 will define the true quality of next gen console gaming.

[MidnytRain]

True, but... this game is overrated out the wazoo...

[KwietStorm_BLM]

There's that word again. Overrated in what way? It's not a recipient of awards or sales or even mass acceptance. It's just a fun game, which isn't even finalized yet.

[MidnytRain]

Overrated in the amount of attention and excitement surrounding it. It's not even that good, and like many F2P games, it resorts to extreme repetition to add longevity. I honestly don't know why people are even bothering, but that's just me.

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

you really are a moron. sorry x] lolz but it can't be overrated if it's not even getting that high of scores x] and, " resorts to extreme repetition to add longevity."? ALL games with leveling do this. heard of jrpg's or mebe borderlands? so yeah, stop trolling. just 'cause YOU don't like the gameplay doesn't make it overrated. you're just being a dick for no reason lolz

[MidnytRain]

Just what I think, bro, no need for the names. Others' reactions make it overrated to me is all.

[Kennytaur]

My mid-low end laptop can run Warframe with medium settings at about 30FPS (haven't checked with FRAPS yet), so I'd expect it to run with all it's bells and whistles on PS4. I'm hoping for 60FPS.

[KillNr3load14]

I better get PhysX.

[AznGaara]

Man... every next gen game better have PhysX. Especially since Nvidia announced that the Ps4 will support it. Borderlands 2 with PhysX on high is the most amazing thing in a videogame I've ever seen.

[SpitFireAce85]

"We got our Warframe engine up and running in just three months on PS4 – it was such a pleasant experience…" wow congrats to Sony on making a easy to develop for platform..can't wait to get my hands on my launch edition ps4.

[bumnut]

Hang on a minute, when the PS3 released with the Cell you guys were praising sony for trying something different.

Now you are praising them for doing the opposite?

[Faztkiller]

I would have loved a more powerful Cell after seeing what some developers done with the PS3. But they probably made the right choice cause they needed developers to be happy and keep the price down. I personally would have loved to seen what a upgraded cell with more ram and better gpu could do. Cell seemed like interesting tech to me.

[bumnut]

Agreed, PS3 definitely had some games that were better than anything 360 could do.

[SpitFireAce85]

I think people are praising sony for learning from the mistakes they made last gen.So in a way you can thank sony for microsofts success.Since sony released a overpriced console $599 that was hard to develop for.But it still outsold the 360

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I don't know about you, but I'm praising them for making good decisions. I love my PS3, but I'm not oblivious to its growing pains. Ironically, the PS4 would not be the great looking system that it is, had PS3 not gone through its trials. Literally everything "wrong" with the PS3 seems to have been rectified. What annoys me is that anytime someone says something like SpitFire did, it's always oh oh wait but you guys said that and now it's that. Not everyone is of the same hive mind, and not everyone is a fanboy.

[modesign]

good to know, now does warframe have a release date or is it in developement for the next 10 years.

[Majin-vegeta]

Almost time for its release :D

[DigitalRaptor]

Roughly 3 months.

[josephayal]

good job Sony, good job. The PS4 is better than expensive computers in terms of gaming for %97 $ less

[bumnut]

You keep telling yourself that, not saying PS4 will be bad, Im getting one when they release. But your comment is just not true.

[thezeldadoth]

the fact that theres more agrees to your comment speaks to the lack of information people on this site have.

That or the fanboy delusions that they have.

[duplissi]

yeah, keep telling yourself that.

I have 97 games on my steam account, and have purchased them over the course of 5 years, i have spend maybe a total of 350 dollars on them all. I have put about 2000 dollars in my computer in the same amount of time.

to put this into perspective I used to buy one brand new game a month for my console, and I have bought a new ps3 3 years ago, so in the same amount of time I would have spent ~ 3420 dollars on console gaming. Note that this is for only one console (I have an xbox 350 as well) and does not account for accessories, used games, dlc, or psn games.

But yes good job sony.

[tigertron]

That's what I like to hear.

[bumnut]

'Insert generic PS4 is great comment here'

[dcj0524]

THE PS4 FREAKING SUUUUUUUUCKS

the money out of me

[madpuppy]

I heard that Microsoft is rendering hi res sweat-bullets about how bad Sony is going to hand them their azz this generation.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Damn you're really on a (t)roll aren't you?

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

That's good news, I'm excited to see what they can do 3-5 years down the road.

[thezeldadoth]

they'll say the same for xbox one once development gets going on that platform as well.

both console versions will still be lacking physx and more than likely high anti-aliasing. warframe is coded very well so hopefully it'll run at 60fps on consoles.

[MasterCornholio]

"hopefully it'll run at 60fps on consoles."

You mean the Xbox One and PS4

Motorola RAZR i

[Williamson]

Good thing Sony got input from various developers on the ps4, the last thing you want to do is piss off third party developers.

[Skate-AK]

It shows. The particle effects in Warframe are way better than anything on current gen.

[one2thr]

But then there's an issue with some of the reflective surfaces, for example I can sometimes see a reflection of mycharacter on a wall that is mirroring the improper angle, of which my character is standing [at]...

Besides that, the only other issue that bothers me is when the game crashes on me or become unresponsive, either coming from a match or selecting items within the "Mods" section...

But all in all this game can and is, very addictive... Well at least to me...

Question: Will this game support, cross platform saves? (If possible)...

[Skate-AK]

Could see that being fixed since it is only in beta.

[Hazmat13]

before i was ready for all the next gen games of PS4. now i wanna see Metro Last Light on PS4 hardware.... but also pickup all these free to play games

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

It's not like the game is a visual powerhouse in the first place so the ps4 should run it just fine

[one2thr]

For a "free to play" title, it sorta is...

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

It's a nice looking game but its no planetside 2.

[one2thr]

True, true but that's a technological marvel compared to Warframe

[Firebird360]

High end visuals, without compromise, should mean they'll run in 1080p at 60fps. I want ps4 bad but its 2014, we should be seeing 1080p at 60fps as standard fair.

[slampunk]

It's good to hear that developers are speaking positively about the PS4 but as if they'd say.....yeah it's ok but not as good as the pc version (warframe) when it comes to there upcoming release on consoles....still good to hear though...

[andibandit]

Exactly, and this goes for any console....it takes alot before anyone badmouths a company theyre working with.....so i would not put too much wight on these developer comments and let their product do the talking instead.

[nismo15]

Xbone sucks ODYILE RULES... (Cough) ps4 rules!

[nismo15]

EA Said the wii u was the bee's knee's then all off sudden they hate the system , devs etc always have second opinions

[Massefface]

Compromised is as of the devil to graphics ps4 only ushers in our freedom from entertainment.

[Gaming_Guru]

I find it funny when people talk about anything XBOX they mention titles that are PC and XBOX only as exclusives but you never hear it the other way around with PC and PlayStation only, like DC Online or Planetside 2.

Why is that, I'm just noticing that with journalists and users a like?

[ufo8mycat]

PC is not included simply because it's a tiny irrelevant platform with no great games that can't already be played on the consoles.

When you have 2 big core gaming platforms, that have the same games as PC PLUS a lot more, theres really no need to bring that platform into it as its irrelevant, because of this, as the other 2 gaming platforms offer A LOT more and on a whole new level.

[Gaming_Guru]

But if you are talking about exclusives then bringing in platforms in the discussion is the core of it. Titanfall is not an XBOX ONE exclusive but it mentioned everywhere as an exclusive, but games like Planetside 2 is never mentioned as an exclusive for the PS4.

If you do it to one side, then stay consistent, if not stay consistent. When I see it, it just looks as if the person is just looking at scraps to make another platform appear to have more exclusives than it really does.

[urwifeminder]

Even his average game awesome.

[Vercious]

any time a console recieves this kind of praise from the talented people who help bring us great entertainment, is a good time for gamers in general. can't wait to see these machines in action!

[Supermax]

He compared it to the ps3.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

I just keep thinking about dark sector....playing that game was a horrible experience for me.
