That'd be cool. Warframe is a really good f2p game, and it's one of the only ones where you don't really have to pay money in order to stay competitive.
@AliTheSnake1: The point is that if you're not into MP gaming, aren't into what's basically presented as the majority of the gaming community, then PS+ is an option. A choice. Whereas with the XB1 if you don't get XBL you're missing part of the console's functionality.
@Dwntwn: Think that has more to do with it being cloud based and cross-platform. Aside from this rumor, I don't think there's been one MMO announced for the XB1 and it would come off as a bit inane if you could play and build Spark on PC for free, but have to pay for it on MS's own console.
Then again they could likely get away with it based on the "Most XB1 gamers pay for XBL" logic I presented before. Rather XB1 gamers would let them get away with it.
I know I'll probably get alot of disagrees and probably some bubbles down) for saying this. But i think the game is to framey for a 60fps game, I wish they would fix that
It is F2P, you don't have to pay to play for Warframe. You pay for the Xbox Live service, just like you pay for your cable service to watch Cartoon Network.
You don't have to pay anything for free to play games on PS4. Not for Plus, in any case.
No, it's not like Cartoon Network, as CN isn't available unless you have cable(or satellite). It would be more akin to having to pay for cable JUST to get a local channel.
Not all- last I heard, roughly half or a little under that- Xbox gamers had Live Gold. Dunno what the numbers for the XB1 are at the moment, but I imagine that won't change too much, though I do expect it to improve.
Maybe they CAN do the same with all free to play games that they will do with Project Spark, but it's gotta be telling that they haven't said anything of the sort so far.
There's a reason this is the first game of its kind to be heard of going to the XB1, and I think there's more to it than the relationship Microsoft has with indies right now.
In any case, the main point is that, as of now, it's NOT a free to play game, because you will have to pay for Live in order to play it. How many people pay for Live is irrelevant. How many people pay for PS+ is irrelevant. What they're doing with Project Spark is irrelevant.
How can it be pay to win if it is co-op? Also, the weapons and warframes are quite easy to get, you only need to pay money if you want lots of weapons or warframes.
So? You can still pay and get it earlier. Example TERA you can either spend months playing to earn best gear or just buy from cash shop and get it instantly. By your logic that game is not pay to win?
Its flat out pay to win even if you can earn it in game.
What win??? There really isn't a WIN to speak of. Sure, you could pay for access to frames and weapons earlier. But, for what? Bragging rights? You can pay as much or as little as you would like and STILL get the same type of enjoyment out of Warframe. The only REAL reason to pay, is if you are impatient and don't like to grind for things.
"At present Warframe... will be exclusive to PS4 on console for three months following its launch in November. Warframe is not currently announced for any other console formats."
Whilst not stated, it seems pretty obvious that an Xbox One version will launch early in 2014.
Warframe had an exclusive deal with Sony that's circumvents the clause... and they also their own publisher I'm sure... they are probably are not going through the ID@Xbox
You don't have to pay for a single thing in this game. Only more character and weapon slots which are about 25 cents. So you could play the game and sell characters for a new one or pay a quarter...wow such an impact on the wallet!
Everything can be earned in game.
Example. Oberon just released. Got his parts in 3 hours.
That'd be cool. Warframe is a really good f2p game, and it's one of the only ones where you don't really have to pay money in order to stay competitive.
Interesting opportunities for different experiences
