Digital Extremes remind me of an old school developer who actually gives a fuck about their fanbase. That's practically none existent today. Looks amazing and happy for the fans. Kudos to the team!

I've played a fair amount of this game with my son but man it is just so grindy I can't stand to play it for very long and gave up. It's a good game I just have so many other games to play i cant sit and grind for resources and play through all these endless planetary nodes to unlock stuff. It's all just too much.

Nice to see this happen, now I have no excuse for not getting back on this game on my PS5 sometime later this year.

It wasn't janky. It's a perfectly fine game, and I even replayed it recently.I mean...

It's actually crazy how many of the concepts that ended up being used in Warframe were already present in this game, right down to the main character's name being Tenno, lol.

Except "1999" would be the original Dark Sector. The one that turned into Unreal Tournament 2001.I mean...

If anything it should ‘Recanonise’ the origins of the Warframes themselves. Early in the game it was canon that all Warframes were made using the Technocyte virus, but subsequent updates made that murkier. So I hope they reconfirm that the original Warframes really were bio organic suits before Transference was a thing. That would also somewhat explain all the times the Frames operated independently from the Operator.
The lore implications of this expansion are crazy and already boggle my mind.
Part of me hopes it's a 'reset' of sorts where we find out each Frame's backstory like this. Would be very ambitious of course but it would certainly be able to provide the next 10 years of content.

Warframe is really confusing to me. I keep seeing it being praised like you just did, when you hear about it, it sounds like a really high quality game, but on the other hand I also always hear about the insane amount of grind in it, so it seems paradoxal and confuses me.
It being a free to play, with apparently ton of grind just sends me all the bad signals, because... Well when you have grind in a game, it's usually either to hide the lack of content, or in online games to frustrate players into purchasing things to go faster, which doesn't sound like something the publisher would do if they are like what you described.
I don't know, I must be missing something, but everything I hear about this game seems to be in contradiction all the time, it's very strange.
I only played it a bit a long time ago, back when there wasn't the open world and all yet, it was very repetitive which is what made me stop, but it seems to be a lot more complete today, but at the same time it still seems to involve the same amount of grind as before

The game is not for everyone, but the amount of content and support that they keep adding every year is absolutely bonkers for a F2P game.Warframe is really confusing to me.

Yes, the game is grindy and more complex than ever. The matter of fact is that if you are not into grindy farm-like games then this game is not for you. But if you are looking for a grindfest with high visual fidelity, incredible support, beautiful art and fantastic lore and voice work then this is it.
Think of it like Monster Hunter, that's also a grind game, but in a different way. Warframe has very high production values, even higher than some AAA games. Digital Extremes is an example of AAA indie studio who run their own show without a greedy publisher breathing down their neck.
I don't play it personally, but there was a time when I did and I did enjoy it. But now, there are far too many games for me.

The original concept for Dark Sector was completely different and something they would revisit to some extent in Warframe:I mean...

The Warframe 1999 trailer looks… ok… but something about the art style has me concerned. I haven’t played much of Warframe, but I was excited by the original concept video for Dark Sector and extremely disappointed with what we eventually got. I have always wanted them to revisit it as a single player game, but I don’t 1999 is that? If it is… I’m cautiously optimistic I guess…
The guys run cycle looks goofy, his hair looks like it belongs in a Final Fantasy game, and both Dr. Manhattan and growly guy faces look legitimately awful. Growly guy looks like a sex offender. Is he meant to be Robert Mezner from Dark Sector?
Right now I think I’m far more interested in Soulframe than this.

Even in the Soulframe gameplay demo it looks off. Better I think, and it’s obviously hard to tell without actually playing it, but it doesn’t look as impactful as something like Ghost of Tsushima.

I'll give it to Digital Extremes, nobody could have expected Warframe 1999 to be mostly about alternate reality Backstreet Boys fanfiction.

I remember having much fun with this game. You could do some interesting builds that made the combat super satisfying. Maybe it's time to go back?

Warframe: 1999 is both a continuation of the Origin System's epic cinematic narrative and the start of an entirely new way to play. Featuring characters, enemies, weapons and vehicles that are both thrilling and strangely familiar, this is Warframe like you've never experienced it before.
Scheduled to launch on all platforms in Winter 2024, Warframe: 1999 begins where last year's Whispers in the Walls update left off — with the search for Albrecht Entrati. You aren't the only one looking for him, however, as the Protoframes who call themselves "The Hex" have their own scores to settle. Navigate your relationships with them via an all-new romance system, vibe to the smooth harmonies of sensational boy-band On-lyne, combat a militaristic new enemy faction, and bask in the imminent arrival of the long-awaited "Infested Lich" system known as Technocyte Coda.

If you haven't done the New War cinematic quest then it is probably worth coming back even if you only do that.

It has been years since I last played. I got into the game when it released on Switch. Most of the hours I clocked in on PC though. The loading times were quite long on Switch.

Load times are one thing they have worked on, but switch still probably isn't the best platform. They also have an iphone client now for some reason.
