Assuming no graphical improvements occurred in either version, PS4 version is probably a downgrade simply in terms of particles. It'd be interesting if they did improve graphics for a post-launch game, and I guess they would be getting more money they could use for it from all the new players on console.

Thanks, snagged it right after i read this msg.
It's a slot between your mods and the mod list. Hard to see if it doesn't have a polarity slot, but it should be there. Keep in mind, the aura mod actually increases the amount of mod energy the warframe has, it doesn't have a cost.
Holy crap. There it is! Man, the dark souls parallels can be spot on with how little is conveyed.
It is pretty OP. Couple it with Power Range and Power Strength and you got yourself a WMD... at least for most occasions.
Anyone read the Eurogamer review? It's pretty harsh. I'm surprised how low it is compared to other sites that reviewed the game when it was in early beta where there was almost no content.
"There's no cover system, and only a stodgy crouch to keep you safe, so you'll mostly fall back on strafe-and-spray tactics that seem to work just fine."
Really?
"It's hard, though, to shake the feeling that the only reason this game is free to play is that nobody would pay money for something so scrappy and generic."
Shots fired.
I do agree with one point he made, the game does a poor job of explaining all the mechanics to new players.

I kind of agree that it does not explain somethings very well (I have no idea how to do the slide, or wall run moves), but I also like to figure things out as im playing so thats not a huge deal to me.
Overall i think the game is a ton of fun though.

I like how that eurogamer review mentions that leveling up frames and weapons has no impact whatsoever.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure I magically got more shield/energy/health just running around. lol Eurogamer
It's a pretty bare bones review. Seems like he came into the game with a negative view on F2P games, played for a 2 hours and then came to a conclusion. He doesn't even mention the weapon/frame customization or different Warframes. I'm pretty sure he just gave up on it after not being given all the info via the game.
"The R1 button lashes out with this weapon, while holding it down delivers a slower but more powerful blow. It's functionally useless though, with a camera that is never up to the job in close quarters"
Is this really an issue with people? I play on PC so not sure how different it is on PS4 but the sword combat always felt smooth and satisfying, and I almost always charge attack. Recent hot fixes refined the melee combat even more btw.

The controls are a bit of a mess all around.
The sprint has no indication of whether it's on or off and doesn't get reset to normal running when you would expect it to (stopping should reset it, as should aiming down the sights.. I don't mind having to click the stick more often like in every shooter out there)
The deadzone on both axis extends from side to side. This means that you can tilt the stick to the right and then wiggle it up and down a fair bit but the aim just keeps going straight to the right. Aiming is very angular, just like in uncharted 3 before they patched it.
Those 2 are my main concerns with the controls at the moment. Hopefully they can fix these in an upcoming patch.
Edit: Oh and block is up on dpad... why not R3?
Yeah, that was one odd review. It seems like the reviewer just doesn't like the genre, or is just bitching because he's had a bad day or something. Baseless whining can constitute a review if the game is bad enough but I don't warrant that Warframe is such a game - it certainly needs work in some areas, notably in the user experience area and communicating/explaining stuff to the player, but I think the concept behind it works well enough.
What is most strange is that the game does have merits, but the review doesn't mention any of those. It's a gorgeous looking f2p game (on the pc at least, haven't tried the PS4 but it's difficult to see how they could've made it worse), and it does scratch the itch of just shooting a ton of bad dudes while having a small rpg and loot minigame on the side. What more could you expect from a title like this?
While disregarding the merits, the reviewer is instead piling on the game for being shallow and calling for "depth", but that is such a weird argument. Is more depth really something you want in this game? Does he want a ton of myriad mechanics and skill trees when the game is really just about a bunch of space ninjas shooting things. I disagree, I think adding too much depth into a title like this is a bad idea. The mod system works fine (yet the review doesn't even mention this) and allows for some degree of customization while staying out of your face.
Bottom line: it's certainly not such a bad game the lazy review is making it out to be.
Nobody blocks. The dead zone can be solved by turning off auto-aim, which makes a WORLD of difference.
Corpus heads = popped like bottle caps for me now without auto-aim screwing up my aim.
I love that it's not hand-holding. You'll play with someone more experienced, see him run into a crowd of enemies, do a back flip, jump kick, slide and shoot and then finish them off with a Radial Javelin and be like "whoa...I need to learn that."
I think part of the mechanics are learning as you play...like Tenno would probably learn from experience with one another in real life?
I don't know. Maybe I just love the game. Eurogamer has its reputation around here that I don't need to restate, too.

Had a few more games today. lost 3 lives due to me going underleveled against a boss lol.. still on mercury though.. so trying to grind up a few levels tonight then try survival..
As in you actually could not contribute, or there was nothing to contribute to? The energy weapon research should open up again within a day or so. Once that happens, then there should be a few things to research. Only one weapon, though. They got the time sink set up in all this research!
Even with the (infuriating) bugs, i still greatly enjoy the ps4 version. I put some time into both the ps4 and pc versions (PC is still my primary).
As soon as they iron out the framerate issues and bizarre bugs (inability to sell multiple items lol wut) the ps4 version can be something special.

The base mods were already under construction so I couldn't actually start anything. Once they're done and open up, I'll be able to participate.
Is there a preference for which weapon we want to research in Energy weapons to start?
If you want help going against General Vor on Mercury again, let me know. I want to try and replay that mission to collect the parts to craft his pistol.
Hmmm... I'm considering buying Ember.
You can't 'make' specific mod, right? Because I only have Fireball and don't want to continue running the lottery for hundreds of hours until I get the rest of her skills if I was building it.
I'd have to spend 15$ to get the warframe though... which is very deep into my 'bullshit F2P costs' territory.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Im still waiting to port my PC character over to the PS4 wtf guys D: Was the main reason why I wanted to play Warframe on the PS4 was due to the announcement of that feature.
That's good. I guess I could spend 10$ on boring stuff like Orokin Catalysts then.

I ran around the dojo last night but was unable to contribute or figure out how to contribute. Also I got all the Volt blueprints so that might be my first build other than my Excalibur
There's two great halls, kind of, which doesn't make sense. Otherwise one end is all of the expansion nodes like reactors and barracks, and the other end is the research labs. It's a good layout except for the double-great halls which makes no sense.
How is that? I didn't realize there were options around this. Does it slash in the direction you are facing instead of camera?

GAF Gold needs its own hall, you can't expect us to mingle with the peasants.
In other news, I've almost close to maxing my starting frame.... which is easier frame to farm?

Yep. Aiming slash vs. camera slash.
Also, is is recommended to use some of my duplicate reactor mods to upgrade my basic mods like slash dash and radial javelin? Will upgrades cause a change in necessary skill points or just damage/speed and so forth.
It increases the cost of the mod on the Warframe by 1 each upgrade, it doesn't increase the casting cost. You can use Reactors, but use duplicates of the cards you're upgrading first, since they give relatively large boosts early on. For example, Slash Dash + Slash Dash = a level up. Ranking up affects each skill differently. Leveling Slash Dash increases damage and range.

Just checked... looks like you also need an orokin cell. Ugh.

The halls are to increase "building" capacity. A necessary evil D:

I don't think you can mute individual people, but you can turn off voice in the Options menu.
