Yeah, well Mesa's no-Time to dust off my redeemers.
They buffed Mesa? When did that happen?

Warframe goes open world, gets social hub, day/night cycle, flying, more

When we learned that Destiny was 30FPS on consoles, people told me that the map sizes, physics, and peer-to-peer connections prevented it from being 60FPS. When I pointed out that Warframe had those things, I was told that Warframe maps are smaller. Not anymore.
I think this is some healthy competition.

Just 2017 as far as I've found.
Might be worth checking out all the other stuff they've changed over those four years, even before this update hits.
And I've never seen so many enemies and effects thrown on the screen like I've seen in some Warframe missions. Its mindboggling at times.
Back when the game launched on PS4 even a portion of those effects would drop the framerates into the single digits. They've come a damn long way since then.

It really is. I played the fuck out of this I don't even know how many years ago now. I'm too afraid to jump back in even it all seems so different now.

I can't remember the exact update, but they made her lasso be permanent on her while another bounces around between allies. Previously it moved between all players in the group which left her open when it wasn't spinning around her. It's a relatively minor, but significant buff.
Also they made Peacemakers scale with secondary mods back in update 18.
Supposedly this year. I'd expect it to be towards the end of the year.
Do we know if this Warframe expansion is actually running at 60FPS on consoles? Even as a corridor shooter it apparently wasn't a solid 60......I generally do not expect open world games to run at 60 on consoles.

Wait, this game has a single player?
I wrote it off as some f2p mmo shooter and I'm not really into social gaming of the sort.
Looks like I need to do some research now.

Looks incredible.
Warframe proves that through iderative game design traditional reviews don't make sense anymore for some games.
Reviews for games like Warframe should be yearly in tune with how the games evolve. This game is reviewed badly from how it was back in 2013, but it's nothing like that now.

Likely no. The game on PC is having issues they're working out with the new foilage tech hurting mid/lower end machines right now. It also doesn't even take advantage of PS4Pro yet.

Damn, that sucks. Guess it'll be PC in the near future (hopefully) then.

No joke. This makes that Farm reveal a few days ago look sadly quaint in comparison.

I'm gonna try this game again man.
They have given no indication that they are shifting to a 30FPS game. And I'll take 50-60FPS over 30FPS any day.
They have a *touch* of PS4Pro support thus far, but no increased resolution. I think just more reliable performance.
So far there's only like 1 open world game on consoles that runs at 60FPS, and that's MGSV. I would not get your hopes up for 50-60FPS, but we shall see.
This all looks good, but there's one thing that still concerns me, and maybe someone here can tell me if this has been addressed in any way.
I played about 400 hours of this game, and it's great fun to screw around with a friend. The biggest problem though is that once you get what you want... You're done. Once you get the prime warframe you want or whatever it is, there's not really a lot of reason to keep playing other than just to "get more stuff" that doesn't add to any real progress.
Is this still the case? Because if this is still a problem, I don't see how this update is gonna fix it.

I hope it's not like the last few times I jumped back in for a big update. It ended up more complicated and confusing and grind focused each time.
I've put maybe 40 hours total into it and still use pretty much the base gear because I never get drops and don't want to spend money on the insane expensive micro transactions.
Watching the video in a bit.

That's literally just the increase you get from the pro's CPU. It's running at a unlocked frame rate and it gets even more stable with boost mode. It still hasn't taken advantage of anything on the GPU side yet.
My prediction for the open world level(s):
PS4 and Xbox One: Adaptive resolution or 900p, 50-60FPS
PS4 Pro and Xbox One X: 1080p ~60FPS
This assumes they finish implementing their Pro/One X support. My performance predictions apply to within two months of release on consoles. I assume it will come in hot, as most large Warframe updates do.
Back during the PS4 launch I played the hell out of this game and loved it. Tried to get back into it when they did their first big overhaul, but it was an overload of information to take in at the time. With this news I might have to give it another go though. It sounds amazing, and I've really wanted to get back on board for a while now.
The devs for this game really are awesome with how dedicated they are.

Are you on ps4?
I somehow have 186 hours played, and eventually hit a wall where I couldn't progress easily, and didn't really want to keep grinding. That video looked pretty great. Only concern is the amount of repetition in that open world.
I tried playing again about a month ago, and still felt so lost looking at the galaxy map, just not sure what to do, or where to go. Hopefully they can fix that somehow?

What it doesn't have is marketing. This is honestly the first in a long time I've heard of a big update to Warframe. PC is fine but idk how the console population is doing, especially on Xbox where it is buried deep in the F2P section. When it came out on Xbox I heard nothing of it's release until last year when I just randomly stumbled upon it.

Wow that was definitely more than I was expecting from this con. Hope it makes 2017 on ps4.
WOW! Huge improvements the last time I played it. There's no way I'm getting back to it. My advice to new players. Stay the fuck away from this game. It will fuck up your life. Quit the game back in 2015. Excalibur was my guy and I was a fucking beast with him. I exploited (3000+ kills every time, lvl 1 to 30 all parts, frame, etc. in 30 minutes) and glitch (5 players in one room) the heck out of this game.

bad gameplay lol
Holy shit. Yeah, definitely gonna have to jump back in once this hits. Looks great.

K, so downloading now and decided to look up some frames while I wait since I'm picky with looks and all that and don't know any of the names and such... So I did an image search for "female warframes" and was going to do a search for male ones next...
Don't. Do. That. Don't make my mistake. Sweet Jesus at least make sure your search is in Catholic School mode.
Is there a safe place I can find this info?
Also maybe a good video that explains everything?

List of all the warframes, not organized by gender but you can figure that out pretty easily.
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Warframes
The three starter frames are Excalibur, Mag, and Volt – you start with one and can acquire the others. As for videos, you can look up individual frames easily on youtube.
I'd focus on your first frame when you start then worry about what frame to get next, because you'll have a better idea of which ones are easier to get . Some frames are definitely more difficult to get than others, for example Rhino is super easy to get, but don't plan on getting Vauban right off the bat.

You guys are awesome and that Wiki is put together way nicer than most.
So your advice is to just focus on choosing one of the three starter ones and then choosing which one I want next after... I mean, what do I do with them? Do you upgrade them? Is this shown visually? At what point should I start trying for another frame?
All of this will probably become apparent when I start playing I bet but asking just in case. Will go over the Wiki though.
Ummm. That second image man... Might want to delete that...
I was using Bing. And some gifs where at top as well as some others... Maybe I put just "Female warframe" without the s. Not gonna look again lol.

Excalibur (DE Mascot , Main face of warframe) Umbra, people went nuts when that variation of Excalibur were handled to the chinese guys as an exclusive warframe. Finally makes an appareance and probably being obtainable on the next quest.
